I'm tempted by these but haven't seen any photos, did the stores get any in stock or are they all being shipped?

I'm Ambassador and already my AG jeans were canceled. I forgot how annoying this sale can be sometimes, who has time for this.
My store had all colors. I had ordered the camel on line early Wednesday morning, then went to the store Wednesday morning for the Ambassador deal. That's when I decided to try on a bunch of boots and brought home the chocolate pair. Mostly because the sales guy said that was the color to get. Now I don't know what to do. The chocolate are now sold out in my size, so I'm glad I got them and can mull my dilemma over.
 
I went back to my store this morning to return and pick up a bra. It was far more festive than Wednesday. One thing they had was a Claw machine. It was filled with big clear balls filled with beauty samples. I actually won one and I have to say it was thrilling! Also, I asked if they were handing out the scratch cards. I was told one per customer. Later, in the bra area, an associate just handed me one....another $5! I don't know if I can turn in both tomorrow. Also, they did have the lavender and unscented laundry detergent in the store (sold out online). I use this for all of my delicates and sweaters.
Hi! What store had the laundry detergent?
 
Not sure if anyone was interested in the Rails denim vest...?

Very cute, but sizing was a bit wonky. They didn't have a medium in store so I tried on the large here. The structure/tailoring at my natural waist fit really well but I don't have the boobage to fill it out properly (on the scale of pancakes to boulders, I'm flapjacks :laugh:) Probably best for B-cup ladies? Size small was out of the question... couldn't even fasten a single button. Hard to know if medium would have been fine or if it would have felt too tight everywhere except the chest. I would definitely consider this a more slender cut vs. curvy.

Is this Farm Rio cardigan part of NAS? I can't find a link so apologies if this is not relevant, LOL! Pattern was very pretty, but it was too boxy and cropped for my personal preference. But to each their own, of course!

Also had a lovely lunch, financed in part by the $10 voucher from yesterday ;)

I'm having a modest NAS this year, but still managed to order 6 things (in two orders, one last night and one today):

Vince rib sweater dress - Vince is always a win for me, and I have a version of this dress already that I love, so I'm pretty confident that this will work for me:

Nordstrom A-line leopard dress - managed to snag before it sold out in my size, fingers crossed that it ships:

Living Proof dry shampoo set - I buy this every year, I think:

This dress by Melloday (not familiar with the brand) - the cut looks like it would work for me, love the shape, quite inexpensive, fingers crossed here:

Rag & Bone Astrid flats in denim fabric - I already own these in black leather and love them, I think the dark denim looks great with the buckle detail:

Finally, a black denim version of the AllSaints shirt/jacket - I went back and forth between the blue denim and the black denim version, but I recently bought a cute Madewell shirt/jacket in dark blue denim, so this is less of a repeat:

I’m still -15000 pts. I don’t even bother with double points anymore.

Honestly, though, I don’t really see the difference. I got like $200 notes a few years ago before I did returns and no notes now. It’s the same in the end (actually I’m still ahead in notes that I didn’t deserve - negative points = I got extra notes).

Really it only hurts them to change your status right away - why would you want less notes and ambassador status when you can have more notes and icon? Their fault. :tup:

I am curious on others thoughts though. It seems like a lot of you want to do returns and have less notes and avoid the negative points - does it just bug you to have the inaccuracy? Are you a better person than me and don’t want undeserved rewards? Truly I’m curious. I feel like I’m missing something and need to be educated or at least confirm that I am indeed a dishonorable person!
I haven’t been interested in notes in forever. Returns and free shipping are most important to me. The only time I ever get notes are on anniversary sale days when I use double points. Then I’m in the hole for the year. Because I just don’t shop that much the rest of the year.

I just got all three delivered. If I wasn’t at work I’d take pictures. I will say I love them. They are comfortable and might *cough*cough* keepallthree!

Haha that is awesome and great to hear. I ordered the Rag and Bone Miriam boots the first night, not sure why those in particular but I think I was swayed by the color. I'm worried they are going to look too western but will see when they get here.
 
This sale is always kind of a weird psychological experiment. Every year, I'm surprised that the ONE item I actually need ("need" as in replacing something already owned and worn to death) sells out while I'm busy looking at other shiny objects.
Exactly!! Why is this? There is ONE I "need" that I have to stalk since it's sold out! It's almost like a game.
 
Absolutely thrilled to receive my Michele watch! I’ve been wanting one for a while and I couldn’t believe that the exact model that I wanted was on sale! I saved $1100! You better believe I was awake and pressing the refresh button on my app as soon as they allowed Ambassadors access. Good thing I did because they were sold out by the next morning.
It originally appeared to ship standard but this morning I got a phone call and email from customer service and they had upgraded shipping and added FedEx for me to sign for it. I was grateful for that. So it just got delivered!
I used double points so I’ll get to buy a little something else with my Notes too! Overall, a great buy!

My orders came from the night I ordered and sooooo many misses. They really ruined the Zella tennis dresses so bad. The fit is wonky and they added a banded area for boobage which looks terrible if you are larger chested.

I liked the Spanx tennis dress but that runs small, at least for me so I picked up the next size up.

The BP sweaters are very oversized so XXS was good for me. Have to return the XS. One of the sweater had 2 bag snags, the lilac colored one and it’s sold out now so that’s going back.

I was disappointed in the shoes. Most are going back. And I shopped in store today and 2 items ended up not being part of the sale. So those have to go back since they aren’t worth full price. One pair actually had last years version in the sale, it was On clouds X3 and she gave me the X4 version. So I ordered the sale version and will return the full price.

I tried on soooooo much and barely ended up with any clothes. I did get the All Saints Bomber black leather jacket and Derby Black with gold zipper moto. Not that I need them but I loved them.

I fell in love with the Zella super soft sweaters, I got that in Cream and Blue. I didn’t care for the other sweaters and hoodies by Zella this time.

The Zella Rouched jacket runs oversized too. I needed an XS in this. I had ordered pink days ago but loved the cream in store but XS was sold out so I just ordered it and either both stay or I’ll pick a color.

I did like the Zella Bomber jacket was cute so I picked that up in store in black and ordered the cream color.

I am soooo dreading the returns. I ordered so much in my initial order that I didn’t like. I liked the New balance with the white logo more so I’m keeping those and returning the green logo ones. Hopefully someone who wants them can get them since the green logo ones sold out.

Honestly the sale was ok. Not as exciting as years past. I’m not really sure if I’m in love with anything I’ve bought or really excited. But I’m tired from traveling. Maybe I’ll be more excited tomorrow lol.

I picked up Bugachi shirts and a bunch of shoes for my husband that my stylist ordered and shipped to me.

The Mother Jeans and AG jeans I ordered were amazing! So glad I picked the right size.
