Q&A about individual items, ensembles, and wardrobe

NAS - jacket question

Do you think either of these could work for me? I'd go for the orange in either. Also, for those of you who have seen them in person, do you have a preference based on the quality?

I'm leaning toward the first because of the fabric and extra length. Other thoughts?

Thanks!

LOVE the colour for you! Not sure about the collars of either, though. I *think* you might look better with a revere type collar but I am not sure. Sorry :0(

Of the two, #2 gets my vote!

I had a feeling you would like the first one because I can see you leaning toward that collar -- but I don't think it's right for the new look you're heading toward. I love the color of both, though -- you would totally ROCK that.

You don't think the orange brings enough edge, Kristen? ;-)

Alecia, I love the orange color (I'm looking at the first jacket myself but in eggplant). Can you try them on in person?

I'm thinking that I may need to head over to the Nordstrom tonight. (Agh! I HATE going to that mall. I may need some prodding from the group to actually do it.)

I WISH we had a Nordies nearby...I would totally be there in person. So GO...just for me *grin* (do you need more prodding?)

I'll do it for you, Dani. ;-) I'll be imagining that your with me and talking me off the ledge when I'm fighting for a parking place.

Sure...I'm up for that...just BREATHE!! (and keep in mind the killer coats that are waiting for you inside!!) :)

Alecia, do go. Given the option, I find it worthwhile to try things on before actually purchasing them. Even when I can return them. I think the orange will look delicious on you (like the Mango dress!) Just take a deep breath, imagine all of us sitting on your shoulders and talking to you and just pretend the others don't exist :-) Maybe go first thing tomorrow morning right when the store opens? That will give you some precious, extra, peaceful time.

Made it over to Nordies. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Whew! Still was fun to imagine you all with me. They only had the jessica simpson coat (#2). It was nice but the fabric was kind of scratchy and it was hip length. I would really like something a bit longer. I'm tempted to order the other just to check it out. It is my dream color. Or should I just wait to see what else comes out as the season unfolds?

You can always return the other coat if you try it and it doesn't work. So you don't have much to lose by ordering it...

I'd wait and see. This is only one store, after all, and it's July. :)

That's what I keep telling myself, at least!
