I wore the Paige gray plaid&nbsp;around the house today and they stretched out rather quickly. So I am definitely not going to need the larger size I ordered for comparison. And it's possible that they may have even more down-the-bum slippage in the future. I just can't make myself get a 26 in them.&nbsp;</p> <p>And, I love terriers, JAileen! Well, all doggies, really, but terriers especially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-nas/page/2#post-1315340 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 15:14:57 +0000 rachylou 1315340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awww. Look at the poochies so peaceful! How could you <i>ever </i>say they're rowdy? Hehe.</p> <p>Now I have to talk about the Lilypup and how the only bowl of water like that she's ever drunk out of is the one at Tiffanys!!! Oivey. The dog is too much. Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-nas/page/2#post-1314898 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 00:52:35 +0000 JAileen 1314898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few years ago we were visiting my brother with our dog, and he insisted we take the dog to the shopping center to show us how dog friendly it was. Ordinarily I wouldn't have taken him. But every store had a bowl of water by the door, and quite a few gave our dog treats. </p> <p>Locally, I take our dogs to the hardware stores, junk stores (antique stores), and nurseries. These guys are kind of rowdy so sometimes I regret it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-nas/page/2#post-1314785 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 22:57:50 +0000 rachylou 1314785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went out to Walnut Creek and also Stonestown (but that was straight after work, so no pup). But interesting about Stanford Shopping Center. Lilypup has never been to Stanford Shopping Center. I'm not sure it's ever crossed my mind to take her down - I moved to back to the East Bay from over there in prep for getting a dog in the first place.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-nas/page/2#post-1314722 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 21:40:13 +0000 JAileen 1314722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Were you at the Stanford Shopping Center? We took our dog in every store there except restaurants. Here, you'd think dogs had Ebola or something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-nas/page/2#post-1314674 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 20:32:46 +0000 K.

I'm short waisted though, so I'm not sure how that changes things.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-nas/page/2#post-1314603 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 19:18:22 +0000 cciele 1314603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's your normal pant size, if you don't mind saying Rachy?<br />For more data points -- I'm considering the Paige jeans in size 29. I'm about a size 8 (sometimes 6). On me, the Paige fit like I think they are supposed to fit -- legging tight, since they are advertised and cut as an ultra-skinny jean.</p> <p>I also ordered the Jolt plaid pants. Size 9 fits a tad looser on me than the Paige -- but looser in a weird way. I prefer the all-over skinniness of the Paige's on me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-nas/page/2#post-1314512 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 17:16:09 +0000 rachylou 1314512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I should have been more patient maybe... because ack! I went and ordered the jeans online, and got as the online chat lady recommended - a 30.</p> <p>We shall see. Nail biter!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-nas/page/2#post-1314490 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 17:00:04 +0000 christieanne 1314490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cobalt is a good color - for you, for anyone Been wearing it so much that my boss called it my signature color the other day. Guess it's time to change things up and keep em guessing.&nbsp;<br />I think Nordstrom, like most sharp retailers, is trying to monitor the inventory levels closely - you never really know how fast something will sell and in these days of sharp profit margins, it's just smart. If demand is bigger than supply then you do hurt yourself but it's a good gamble.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-nas/page/2#post-1314407 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 15:48:51 +0000 K. Period. 1314407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Reporting back--with more personal details than I typically reveal! Rachylou, mine are a size 28. &nbsp;I typically wear a size 4 (with a rare 6 or 2 thrown in the mix)&nbsp;at Banana, Gap, Loft&nbsp;and JCrew. &nbsp;For JCrew denim, my pairs are 27, 28 and 29. &nbsp;For Gap denim, 4s and maybe a 6. &nbsp;So, how do the Paige fit as a 28? They are close. Not major muffin top close, but close. I wanted them to have a very punk feel, so they are legging close on me. &nbsp;The SA tried to push me toward a smaller size with the usual argument about stretching as you wear them, but I wouldn't budge. I think most SAs are holding onto&nbsp;an outdated idea of super tight jeans anymore. &nbsp;I tried sizing up, but they were weirdly baggy and awkward around the knees then, while still tight on my calves (which are quite muscular). I thought they were better all-over skinny than fitted-loose-tight. Hopefully that helps! &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA: DH just came home with coffee (love that man!) while I was wearing the jeans&nbsp;and he quite adamantly endorsed my jean purchase. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-nas/page/2#post-1314269 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 13:46:57 +0000 jackiec 1314269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You showed great restraint!

The photo of the coat shows a totally different color on the back on my screen, charcoal-ish. The rich brown is so beatiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-nas/page/2#post-1314128 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 06:43:33 +0000 rachylou 1314128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Must have been a whirlwind, Rae! It was just three days and nothing was left!</p> <p>So wait, Gracie - does that mean you ordered a 27?</p> <p>p.s. it's all the nice dark brown... Oh I guess that WAS one brown thing, haha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-nas/page/2#post-1314084 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 04:42:14 +0000 rae 1314084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, the sell-outs have been really hard on us at the sales level. What a strange year. I do love your pics - I wish I needed a puffer lol. Those Moncler ones are DTF, too, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-nas/page/2#post-1314076 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 04:33:34 +0000 Gracie 1314076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rachylou, I just opened the box and tried on the Paige gray/black skinnies. They are keepers for me. I ordered by my waist size 27" (on good days, on watrmelon-eating days like today is 28", lol. But that watermelon needed eatin') The waistband is 2.5" below my navel, measurement at this point is 32.5"-33". The widest (crotch level) width is 36-36.25". I can't believe the length is perfect on me, I'm almost 5' 4" and they have just the right amount of stack at the ankle. I'll post photos as soon as I can – hopefully this info will be helpful if you decide to order them online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-nas/page/2#post-1314007 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 03:04:15 +0000 Gracie 1314007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the puffer! and, is it that rich brown chocolate on the front and charcoal on the back??? like a Gemini coat?</p> <p>I think the Paige plaid skinnies are in one of the boxes I received today that I haven't opened yet... I will try them on and report. I might model them if they make my tush look good!</p> <p>Where's LiliPup's pic? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-nas/page/2#post-1313905 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 01:24:29 +0000 E 1313905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, we need a picture of you modelling your puffer coats. Weird that the store didn't have much, but I'm glad you got your annual purchase done &amp; what a lovely blouse!</p> <p>In case it helps, I size up 1 from my actual waist measurement&nbsp;with that kind of jeans sizing, so that there's space for my tush (I usually have to go up one size in skinnies, no matter what the sizing is, for that reason). I don't have any personal knowledge about the Paige's, but Ummlila ordered these &amp; found them to run quite&nbsp;skinny. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-getting-nasty-on-my-credit-card-second-roundfrom-angie-picks-and-fabber-copycats">Here's</a> her post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-nas#post-1313898 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 01:20:16 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1313898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't recall if I've seen dogs in Nordstrom downtown.

Did you match your waist measurement or did you size up because the jeans sit lower than the waist? If you went up, <br />how many numbers did you go up?</p> <p>Oh, let me pepper you with questions... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-nas#post-1313842 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 00:10:34 +0000 K. Period. 1313842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhhh Rachylou,your posts never fail to make me laugh. Your purchases look lovely. &nbsp;I bought the Paige gray on gray plain skinny jeans, so our inner punk girls (mine pretty hidden, yours more overt) are in harmony. &nbsp;I can't wait to wear them this fall. &nbsp;I'm even thinking of breaking them out to wear with my black and white Fluevogs for late summer. &nbsp;So perfect. &nbsp;And I will wear them with my cobalt sweater, just for you. &nbsp;:) &nbsp;(And you need that gray Moncler coat--so that I can live vicariously through you!!!)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-nas#post-1313822 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 23:59:21 +0000 Mona 1313822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First time I am hearing of hipster donut.
