For anyone still stalking the Avec Les Filles tweed coat... mine arrived today.

It runs VERY slim/fitted. I am wearing a medium and in a perfect world I'd be sizing up to a large or maybe even XL. I'm wearing it with a tee shirt and I don't think it will be comfortable for me in the shoulders if I'm wearing anything more than a thin sweater. (I need to try a few options and see what works.) If you are anything over, say, a B-cup I think it will feel tight in the chest when buttoned up. Though the outer fabric has a very wintery look, it's not terribly heavy. If I end up keeping it, I will use it as a dressy coat for going out to dinner, guest at a fall/winter wedding, that sort of thing, where I want something that looks more put together than a parka or puffy coat (Chicago life LOL). I do love how it looks, though! The tweed is so bright and fun. I don't think you can be too precious with this one, as it's a somewhat loose knit that may be prone to snagging.

Thank you for the detailed review. It’s a great looking coat but I’m broad across the chest so it’s a no go for me. I’ll quit stalking. It looks great on you!

Thank you!

Yeah, I was definitely caught off-guard by how slim cut it was around the shoulders/chest. If it's uncomfortable when I try it on with a sweater it might have to go back

Alas, the employment gods decided Wednesday morning to lay me off (along with a significant number of very talented colleagues) with no severance after almost ten years of leading one of their most important teams.
I’m still in shock, and now looking at my NAS purchases knowing it’s probably best to return several items until I start my next adventure. My focus for the next few months is going to be recovering from burnout, exercise, family, and finding a great role.
If you are a size 10 or 12, I’ll be returning both the tweed and green Veronica Beard blazer to the Nordstrom Topanga Canyon location - hopefully in the morning.

So sorry to hear you were laid off.

This is awful news! Best of luck finding a new position.

That bralette is so pretty! I want to order it but the sizing seems very limited and questionable for me- can you share how the fit is once you receive it?

Also the size 28 Mother dazzler jeans shipped for me, yay! So ill see how they compare to the size 29 I currently have.

Will do. It says A-C cup but reviews indicate it may work fine for larger cups so we’ll see.

it is so impossible to find any kind of bra that isn’t uncomfortable in some way. I ordered a couple other wacoals that seemed like they might be good, but after trying them on again, I could tell the underwire would bother me on one and the plastic piece on the strap would on the other wireless one. I wish I could find a wireless, preferably racerback bra in a breathable material that doesn’t have those terrible removable cutlets. Might try some more from soma but I think they’re all the same material and it feels and smells terrible when you sweat.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Hope you find another job that you love very quickly!

I have been searching for a bra like this for years (wireless with a racer back with no inserts) and have yet to find a suitable bra. Why is it so hard!?

I placed a last minute order from the NAS: all have shipped. The AG Farrah raw hem bootcut crop jean in grey. These get great reviews on N's site, so hopefully they'll work for me. My DH wanted to help out with my negative Nordy note point situation, so I ordered the NB 990 v5 running shoes for him. (I returned so much from this sale that just didn't work for me, and I feel I'll be in neg note territory for a while.) Finally I ordered the olive Frank & Eileen cotton button-down (mentioned a few pages back). I had never heard of this brand before but it seems like good quality, although a little pricey even on sale. Still I want to see it IRL.

I really wanted to try the Boll & Branch percale sheets, but haven't been able to find them in stock in white. I have a feeling though that they'll pop back in right after the sale ends.

Anyway, I really enjoyed everyone on here. I've picked up some hints and tips, and items that I hadn't tried before and love, like the OSEA set. Thanks everyone!

Hopefully my last order. I need more slipper socks like I need another hole in my head, but they’re pink. I need to throw away some old ones that aren’t as cozy as I got a bunch of these barefoot dreams ones the last few years. Bralette isn’t from the sale, but I’m on the hunt for something I don’t hate wearing and my previous tries were fails.

Try the NeiWai fixed cup, the one with hooks in the back. It isn’t a support bra, by any means, but I am a 32DDD and it is comfortable and works for me for everyday.
