  1. I *want* so badly… but am really making the effort to clear off some debt. So I will be passing this year. But I can live vicariously through all of you… so please post your favorites!

  2. I placed an order this morning – it’s so hard not to order more stuff, so many great things!

    I got a Kate Spade wallet (392645), these 7 jeans (366831), and these ponte pants from Joe’s (503065).

    Hopefully my willpower holds and I can hold off on shopping anymore…fingers crossed!

    1. I want that wallet too! (kate spade new york ‘knightsbridge – stacy’ wallet) Does anyone have this wallet and can comment as to whether it stays nicely closed once it is filled with cards?

      1. I have it. It’s fine with the cards, but has trouble if you add extra into the area behind the slots, if that makes sense. I really like it.

    1. I have a similar dress from Lauren Ralph Lauren that I love. Very flattering and goes anywhere and with everything. I’ve worn it to work, baby showers, rehearsal dinners, etc.

      1. I love Lauren Ralph Lauren – I think I’m going on 4 dresses from that label. And none of them are black.

  4. Nice picks, Cat! I just ordered the two patterned dresses. Love that I could order two sizes in both (I’m between a 6 and an 8, which makes online shopping hard) and still get out for about 250!

    1. I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one who always orders two sizes of everything :).

  5. Does anyone know if they continually referesh items? The dress I’m dying for is only available in a color that’s similar to another one I already own right now. (Maybe that’s the universe telling me I need to stop shopping??)

  6. I thought that Nordstrom had maternity clothes. Am I losing my mind, or are they just not included in the sale? I can’t seem to find anything but some undergarments and diaper bags.

    1. I think the maternity stuff all went away in the last clearance sale. hasn’t been back since. darn it.

  7. I love that kate spade teal tote…alas not in my budget, even on sale.

  9. MY brick and mortar had everything out for sale yesterday, Tuesday. The staff was constantly bringing out more. When I asked about some regular priced items (Nic+Zoe cardis) the rep told me that if it was marked full price, it would stay that way…those are the rounders and display by brand. So yes, the sale began a day “early” ymmv!

    1. Thanks. I plan to be at a Nordstrom tommorrow, and I have some shoes I changed my mind on. I’m hoping to find a nice sale in the shoe department.

  10. I spent more than I needed to, but some of it will hopefully be going back. Of course, I always say that, and then everything seems to fit somehow, and I don’t want to return it. Ugh. Anyway, here are my items:

    367603 – pleated Halogen skirt, looks twirly and fun
    367533 – doesn’t get great reviews, but it’s cheap, and hey, free shipping!
    382106 – a little trendy, so not sure if it’s worth the price, but cute
    372042 – bow shirt featured here a while back, I think
    365869 – thank you, Corporettes, for talking me into this one!

  11. Bought the grey waterfall dress Kat featured and junior’s Frenchi Country Blazer (item 362713). Hopefully both will fit well!

  12. Anyone have the knit blazer? I’ve been in the market for one and would love to know how it fits.

  13. Bought the pleated Halogen skirt, a nice pair of black ankle pants and a plum colored sweater. All for $100!

  14. Some of those clothes are beautiful, but I “high quality” to me means natural fibers. Wool, silk, cotton, linen, maybe a bit of rayon/bemberg or some stretch is cool…..$$$$ for polyester, no thank you!

  15. Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m planning to start my own
    blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
