Well, I purchased a lot in store, and ordered a bunch more. I recently lost a significant amount of weight, and have no clothes! I will only keep 2 pairs of jeans, 2 blazers, and will need to winnow down the dresses as well...

In store:
Nu Body (will probably return. don't think I'm willing to commit the time.)
Lafayette Doha Belted Dress (probably may best "work" purchase)
Lafayette 148 Stripe Boatneck Sweater (I didn't want to like this, due to the price, but it fits like a dream!)
Nordstrom Signature Cashmere Hoodie in Olive (love! didn't get the skirt because its not really suitable for my climate)
Club Monaco Open Stitch Stripe Sweater, black and white (love. great price point)
L'Agence Kenzie Blazer (love, love, love)
Cinq a Sept Love Letter Blazer (may return. waiting to see the Zadig and Voltaire)
FRAME shirred neck blouse in black (may return. irritated that it's poly)
L'Agence Harmony Long Sleeve Shirt (may return. irritated that it's poly. but it's real cute with the blazer)
Paige Cleobelle Tie Neck Blouse (really pretty. less expensive. still irritated that its poly)
Veronica Beard Saera Floral Print Dress (may return. it feels too short on my middle aged body)
FRAME Smocked puff sleeve cotton shirt dress (may return. seems too sweet on my middle aged body)
Rails Ashlyn Smocked Waist Dress (this is great. sleeper hit!)
AllSaints Gia Sleeveless Rib Maxi (ok, but didn't look as great when I tried it on again at home)
Club Monaco Twist Front Maxi Dress (eh. Will probably return. I can't figure out where to wear it or how to style it. IS it a t-shirt dress? why is the fabric so heavy?)
Spanx Faux Leather Leggings (staple. replacing sizes)
Zella High Waist Studio Lite Pocket Leggings (staple. replacing sizes)
Zella Amazing Cozy Wrap Jacket (staple. replacing sizes)
PAIGE Manhattan High Waist Boot Cut Jeans (sure, whatever. will figure it out when the order comes in)

slip Date Night (didnt get last year, and regretted.)
Coola Suncreen Spray

If you have the time, could you post a modeling shot of the Allsaints Gia dress? I have the orange one on my low priority NAS list and I’m not sure the asymmetrical hem will work for me at 5’4”.

So helpful to read your take on the items above. I am glad you like the L'Agence Kenzie which is my #1 choice. Seems like it is already SOLD OUT in my size, yikes. A few more hours to go before I am eligible to purchase! Hope they bring more sizes back.
Lafayette has a couple shirts I am looking at in particular the Scottie Blouse (https://www.nordstrom.com/s/lafayet...ome/Anniversary Sale/Women/Clothing&color=420). When I checked the material, it is 100% polyester and cost $488.90! That is just unacceptable. At that price, I was hoping for 100% silk.
 
I have this from last year in the camel color and it is HUGE! I sized down 2 sizes. I ended up buying it from the rack for much cheaper later in the fall. I wore it to my son’s birthday party and when I looked at myself in pictures it made me look so much larger. It is comfortable though.
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll wait.
 
If you have the time, could you post a modeling shot of the Allsaints Gia dress? I have the orange one on my low priority NAS list and I’m not sure the asymmetrical hem will work for me at 5’4”.

For reference, I am 5’7”, wearing a 1.5” heel. I normally wear size 8-10. This is a size 10. You can’t really see it in this picture, but there’s a weird bump in the fabric on the left hand side where the seams come together under the bust. Not terrible, but it annoys me. I suspect it would lay flat in a size 8.

Looks great on you!

That’s the same material as the dress I bought. Agreed. 100% poly sucks. However the dress has a really nice hand to it.
 
That's the one I'm getting on Friday. That bomber with the sherpa collar looks like a real flight jacket to me, I'm glad you got a photo because the leather looks good (you never know from the stock photos). And its so well priced at $150 - cool
I never would have tried it on but it was on a rack outside the fitting room so I decided to try it on. I really love it.
 
I am sad she didn’t call out the VB Cooke for being pleather. That said, who here posted this withering review?!

Unfortunately NOBODY is calling it out for being pleather. Nordstrom now has the SA video on the site and the SA says "this blazer is buttery soft" with no mention of faux.
I ordered this blazer even though I don't do pleather but I wanted to see it, it is coming in on July 15. Honestly it looks a little plasticky in the video, to me.

I saw! I know there’s a market for vegan options but it seems purposely misleading.

As an aside, I don’t know why they keep using that SA in NY. The videos seem to capture her with her mouth open in the preview.

Thank you! I wonder if the bump would be more obvious in the orange. Do you think it runs TTS?
