We hope that you’re enjoying Memorial Day weekend if you’re in the US, and that it’s good weather in your neck of the woods. Summer is definitely on the way in Seattle, which makes me happy. If you feel like browsing the Nordstrom sale, here are some items that caught my eye. I’ve seen some of the items in person. Browse the colour options, and read the reviews. I’m very surprised at how fast things have been moving in the sales.
- CeCe Tie Sleeve Top: A super cute style for Team Red and great on broader shoulders. Looks fine untucked.
- SCOTCH & SODA Tie Dye Knotted Maxi Skirt: A casual sarong to wear however you like. Dress it up or down, wear it by the pool, lounging at home, on the patio, or out and about. Works on an assortment of body types. Very comfortable and moves as you stride.
- BLANKNYC Faux Leather & Fleece Bomber Jacket: Get a head start on your Fall look with this fun piece. The brand tends to run true to size and is quite well made.
- Halogen Long Cardigan: I have many happy clients in this repeat style gauzy Summer cardigan that is excellent over sleeveless tops and dresses if and when you need a little more coverage.
- AllSaints Astrid Puppytooth Check Double Breasted Wool Blend Blazer: Trendy long blazer to wear over dresses or a column of black. Well made, and good in cold air conditioning.
- FRAME Le Beau Ankle Straight Leg Boyfriend Jeans: Frame jeans tend to work on an assortment of body types. I have two pairs and have found them excellent quality and a good fit. I've had to have the waistbands altered though.
- AllSaints Pascao Oba Snake Print Leather Bomber: Super cute for Team Brown. Narrower fit. I can see it work well over black dresses.
- LOU & GREY Signaturesoft Plush Wide Leg Pants: Floppy, casual, comfy, and great with sneakers.
- Topshop Pinstripe Crop Wide Leg Cotton & Linen Trousers: A summer pair of pants for Team Curvy. Looks good with a tucked or semi-tucked top, or a boxy cropped top.
- Vionic Robyn Flat: A ballet flat with arch support is hard to find. This one fits the bill and comes in white. Works for a regular and slightly wider foot, but not a wide foot.
- Veronica Beard Fernanda Plaid Culottes: A fun pair of trendy long shorts. I'm a fan of Veronica Beard bottoms and so are some of my clients. I have a pair of lined Winter pants that fit absolutely beautifully. My hope is that these shorts are of similar fabness.
- Lafayette 148 New York Fiona Long Sleeve Chambray Shirtdress: A short sack dress that works well on a straight, apple and inverted triangle figure. Well made.
- Maggy London Asymmetrical Neck Dress: Gorgeous for Team Curvy. This type of neckline and hemline works on most because of its magical diagonal integrity.
- SIONI Emile Polka Dot Fil Coupé Top: '70s Luxe Blouse Fabness.
- Cinq A Sept Kylie Hammered Satin Jacket: A dressy holiday blazer for WHENEVER because my guess is that dress codes are going to be a thing of the past. Dress this up tuxedo style, or combine it with joggers, a tee, and sneakers.
- Paul Green Carla Lace-Up Sneaker: A Paul Green sneaker that has worked on clients with a slightly wider foot. The metallic blush is sublime, and it comes in white.
- AGL d'Orsay Ankle Strap Pump: These have worked on clients with regular and slightly wider feet. Beautifully made, and with a high longevity factor. Comes in lovely neutrals.
- Louise Et Cie Kota Ankle Strap Pump: A repeat style of dressy pumps in a unique shade of mint that works best on low-volume feet. Relatively comfortable, and well made.
- Nike Sportswear Nike Lab HyperShield Parka: A raincoat in a vibrant shade of purple with practical side entry pockets is rare. It has a nice back too.
- Nordstrom Signature Floral Stretch Silk Button-Up Shirt: A classic blouse looks great tucked or semi-tucked into a trendy pair of jeans and pants. Runs a size big.
- Via Spiga Water Repellent Quilted Jacket: Practical, hard-edged, crease-resistant, and works on an assortment of body types.
- Lafayette 148 New York Rhodes Floral Midi Shirtdress: A stunning kimono wrap dress that looks best on those who can fill it out. Runs roomy and is gorgeous fabric.
- Whistles Wild Cat Print Tiered Ruffle Skirt: Romantic Flounce that can be styled tough with a hard-edged black support act. My experience with Whistles items is that they are lovely quality, and run a little narrower than most US brands.
- Whistles Starburst Floral Wrap Midi Skirt: A little easy-breezy midi swoosh to wear with a cropped boxy top, fitted body-con top, semi-tucked tee, or welted sweatshirt.
- Tricot Comme Des Garçons Bow Ruffle Detail Embroidered Shirt: A maximal black shirt for Team Smaller Bust. The fit is probably quite narrow.
- Ganni Leopard Print Thermoshell Parka: A dramatic cocoon topper that works over most outfits for Team Earth Tones.
- HERMÈS Hooded Short Down Jacket: Check out the side view of this puffer when you click on the link. Stinking cute and practical.
- Proenza Schouler Pointelle Knit Asymmetrical Skirt: A skirt that is equal parts strict and playful for Team Legs.
- Akris Punto Metallic Reversible Jacket: This timeless silhouette is reversible so that you can wear it as a patent black topper too. Versatile.
- Sies Marjan Button Front Long Sleeve Merino Wool Sweater Dress: A woolly cold-weather dress that looks great with tall boots or booties. The fit is quite fluid so it's probably more forgiving than you think.
- KENZO Packable Logo Embroidered Puffer Jacket: Cropped Cream Puffer Jacket Fabness.
- Isabel Marant Linen & Silk Blend Pleated Pants: Pleated pants for Team Curvy With A Long Rise. Runs narrow.
- REJINA PYO Sofia Tiger Stripe Ankle Straight Leg Jeans: Fun jeans that work well for an inverted triangle body type. Straight cut.
- Fuzzi Ruched Ruffle Floral Print Mesh Top: These Fuzzi mesh and knitted tops wear like iron. Beautifully body-con for those who like to showcase their curves. Runs small.
- Muse High Waist Crop Wide Leg Jeans: A quirky pair of white jeans that works on a slightly straighter or curvier figure, and best on a long rise.
- Noir Kei Ninomiya Crop Wool Blend Pants: Avant-Garde Fabness on a defined waist. Lots of room in the thighs and bottom.
