Nordstrom Roundup: Style Refreshers for Under $100

— by Angie

on January 9, 2013

This roundup is more budget friendly than the last one — six jackets, sweaters and tops that could refresh your style for Spring.

ASTR Perforated Faux Suede Moto Jacket: If you missed out on a blush moto last year, try this one. The perforated texture combines a sporty edge with sorbet softness. Also available in light grey.
Kenneth Cole New York Perforated Bomber Jacket: A gloriously modern update on the ’80s Members Only jacket. I’m in love.
Topshop Moto Studded Western Denim Shirt: An Isabel Marant vibe at a more affordable price.
Trouvé Mixed Media Tunic: Oversized, yet structured. Great for the office over trousers or a pencil skirt. Fab drape, pattern and high-low hemline. Check out both patterns.
Bobeau Lace Front Sweatshirt: All three colours are nice. Perfect with leather or waxed denim bottoms.
Hinge Embellished Collar Space Dye Sweater: And a little bling for Team Magpie. Dress this earthy and jewel toned sweater up or down, for the office or over the weekend.

Tops, although still roomy, are looking more structured than last year’s over abundance of super oversized silhouettes. I like structured loose fits because they are easy and comfortable to wear, but don’t look tent-ish.

Oh, I love that Trouve tunic in the other pattern that you linked to – is it too long for a petite? That perforated bomber is too fun.

bobeau lace front sweatshirt appeals to me and my budget. Its on its way to me! Plan to wear it with leather leggings for a date night.

Ooooh the KC Perforated Bomber Jacket is absolutely delicious!! And that citrus shade would look fantastic on you, Angie… The Trouvé Mixed Media Tunic is fun though (not sure why it’s called a tunic though?). Thank you for another fab round-up.

I love the two jackets. I don’t know how I would look in that citrus though.

Oooh, those jackets are super cute. Also like the lace front sweatshirt in blue. Not sure I’ll go for the sweatshirt style, but if so, this could be one
Are you getting the citrus bomber, Angie??

Yikes, you rascal! You showed me that citrus bomber and now I love it so much. I think it is a super color that would perk me up like a squeeze of lemon right in the mouth! If it is in the stores I will try it on and who knows? I’m feeling adventurous! Thanks for the goodies.

Target has a shirt just like the Bobeau Lace Front Sweatshirt:, I saw it in the store last week:

Oh my! I’m loving that Trouve mixed media tunic – such a versatile piece.

More fabulous choices! I like both the jackets, but the Hinge sweater is really calling to me!

With the exception of the western shirt, which just isn’t “me”, I love it all!!

That Trouve top is exactly my style. Pinning so I remember it later. Fun pieces to take us a little closer to Spring (wishful thinking on my part.)

I would have pounced on the perforated moto and colorful tunic this time last year. So cute!

I’m usually allergic to anything Marant, but this shirt appeals to me, somehow. I’ve had bad experience of Topshop quality.

And you convinced me I need a blush leather jacket. I’ve avoided leather jackets for years, for fear of looking too mannish in them (I’m tall, big and broad-shouldered), but the blush color may give the right offset to my usual black-skinnies-and-tough-heels outfits without looking totally weird.

Love all four tops, though I might prefer the last one without its blingy collar! What lovely patterns though.

Not as sure about the perforated jackets, but that’s just because those aren’t my colours at all, I fear, and the texture may be too ‘technical’ for me… maybe.

I usually don’t bat for Team Magpie, but I like the collar on the last sweater.

And thanks LovetostyleAlex for the link!

Thanks for the links to the pretty new items. I do like the mixed media top. However I also wonder why it’s called a tunic, with high-low hem (barely detectable) and it doesn’t look very oversized to me. The other print does look oversized, though. And did anyone else notice the difference in sizing between the two prints? One says M=8-10 and the other says M=6-8. Rather confusing.

I also like the lace front sweatshirt. Nice for weekend wear in my lifestyle.

I am curious if the lace front sweatshirt would be casual office appropriate? It’s a sweatshirt, yes, but it looks so much nicer than the typical sweatshirt.

Wow, this is the first time I think that absolutely none of the pics appeals to me! Guess I am happier with what I already have in my closet (like my Muubaa blush moto). Hooray!
