Erin Busbee has a great video on You Tube highlighting some nice things (except that da*n pleather VB jacket I’m still angry about :mad: Lol) I learned about her on here years ago and have completely revamped my closet because of her. She’s amazing, genuine and down to earth. Highly recommend checking out her socials. She goes by Busbee Style. She’s wearing a couple of the sale pieces in her video.
I watched her video in the middle of the night. I’m considering a couple of things she listed but I have to rewatch as my 230am brain barely remembers.
 
I am on the West Coast, so my tier opens at 9:01 pm Wed. (ambassador) which is midnight East Coast. If I use a double points day, is it only good till midnight my time, or will I get double points till Thursday at 9? I generally place one order of 'must haves' and then have some decisions to make based on what's in stock and how much of my budget is left, so second orders are very likely. Thanks!
I believe the double points days are one east coast day. So you would choose “July 7” or “today” after 9pm on the 6th and it would go through 9pm on the 7th. If you want to call to make sure, do it now before all the phones get jammed up this week!
 
Out of nearly 4000 items in the women’s section I’ve only found 8 to put on my wish list. Really 7 because I would only keep one coat. The blouse probably won’t work because apparently clothing designers forget some of us have hips; anything that isn’t a knit is very difficult for me because it is cut too straight. The dress is probably going to be a $$$ polyester no but I plan to order it to try. I estimate there is about a 10% chance anything will fit right as that has been my success level with clothing shopping lately. I have zero desire to go to a store because nothing looks that interesting to me and I don’t need to restock any basics. I do continue to want an Ugg blanket/throw but the sensible part of me says I do not need to spend $100 on that esp when I already have multiple throws.
Ugh. I feel like what you should consider is figuring out your total budget, and then using it to buy one beautiful thing. A thing that isn’t finicky fitting clothing so that you only experience joy when you put it on. Jewelry, watch, sunglasses, cashmere scarf, handbag. It will not be difficult to find something :lol:

Interesting she didn't even mention the blue VB jacket was Pleather. She acted like it was the same as her other Cooke blazers. I wonder if she knew, because she hasn't seen most of the items yet.

I have to say I haven't found much in clothing this year either. There is plenty I like but they wouldn't necessarily work for my actual lifestyle or be figure flattering. Maybe upcoming reviews will change my mind. Some of the brands make items that are too big and boxy or long which doesn't work on my frame. I'm also looking for items that aren't snug around the midsection or tight in the hips. I figure the fall season has yet to begun really and there will be plenty more options coming. Right now I have some items in my backup wish list that I'm waiting to see how they are reviewed. I have a few coats that may or may not make it depending on reviews. The Pendelton fleece I will order first day and there are several shoes I want immediately because I think they have some solid deals. I have more beauty and miscellaneous items I'm ordering this year. I think they have good prices on those items too and I use them. I'd rather have something I love so if I don't find it during the sale that's ok.
 
Does anyone know the quality of the NIC &ZOE brand? I like this jacket.
I got a cardigan once from stitch fix of all places and I LOVED IT. So much that I actually started checking out
this brand more broadly. I never got anything else but this one item is very high quality and hasn’t snagged or stretched in many years. Maybe it was a fluke? Or maybe it is a fabric thing. Natural fabrics are so much better across all brands… it’s definitely a statistically significant interaction brand x fabric. :smartass:

I was considering this. There isn’t anything screaming out to me. And my closet is ppretty satisfying to me right now. How I did come across this Smythe Camo Shirt Jacket
I don’t have anything like it and can see a ton of ways I can use it in my closet. I saw it on Rose Hayes’ reel on Insta. Super cute!
