It really paid off with those two pieces that look custom made for you. Always good when a bargain surfaces; especially when you know the items are just right. Bravo!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack/page/2#post-1821371 Thu, 06 Jul 2017 14:01:38 +0000 Lisa 1821371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic find! &nbsp;Yay! &nbsp;These 2 pieces fit you beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack/page/2#post-1821357 Thu, 06 Jul 2017 13:02:27 +0000 Suz 1821357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful items, fabulous deal, and they look sensational on you! Enjoy.&nbsp;</p> <p>I adore Elie Tahari. My suit is by them -- the one I got on our Boston meetup. I love the fabric used in the suiting. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack/page/2#post-1821218 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 21:10:44 +0000 Anonymous 1821218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked at the jacket and it has "inset lace" what is &nbsp;called fagoting. &nbsp;Maybe a trim can be attached behind it to make it look less obvious. &nbsp;You got some great deal! &nbsp;The nearest NR is 4 hours south in Albuquerque. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack/page/2#post-1821096 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 08:34:53 +0000 Inge 1821096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, Massimo Dutti tends to run smallish, but can be true to size too, depending on the items (which is no help, I know -(<br />Good idea to make NAS your next shopping priority!-) </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack/page/2#post-1821038 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 01:03:30 +0000 columbine(erin) 1821038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. Well done!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack/page/2#post-1820975 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 19:55:18 +0000 DizzyLizzy 1820975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great find with the skirt and pants. They were made for you.</p> <p>I too would recommend lining the lace inserts. I personally really like them but they will make the jacket very memorable - not something you necessarily want with a classic work jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack/page/2#post-1820959 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 18:27:33 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1820959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Rack! <br />This is a more serious score than I've gotten there yet, but they are amazing. The people working at my location are friendlier/ more helpful than at the regular Nordie's </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack/page/2#post-1820936 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 16:38:06 +0000 skylurker 1820936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Next time I'm going shopping, I'll call that research mission, I'm sure I'll feel better about the experience. And I can only dream of finding great bargains like you did - suiting doesn't usually come so cheap :)<br /> Is it the angle of the pic or the trousers? Dunno but you look 3 ft tall in the last photo :)</p> <p>Ok, seriously : great pieces, fit you so well.<br /> Good idea to order the jacket - quite cinched at the waist, that should become you - lace inserts could look interesting or look like the jacket's seams are bursting... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack/page/2#post-1820911 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 14:32:23 +0000 JAileen 1820911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds! I hope the jacket works, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack/page/2#post-1820908 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 14:15:05 +0000 Anonymous 1820908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! What great finds! Hope the jacket turns out to be a match. Even if not, you may find it useful as a stand alone piece?<br /> I'm another Elie Tahari fan. It was a real go-to brand for me when I was working in an office environment. I still turn to it for dresses and blouses. I find the fit to be very reliable across pieces, so am comfortable ordering without trying at this point. There are almost always good discounted pieces available at NR, Off 5th and even Ebay. Though I've NEVER seen a deal close to as impressive as your score - WELL DONE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack/page/2#post-1820905 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 13:22:18 +0000 unfrumped 1820905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great score! " Wardrobe Essentials" that will be a great backbone. Exactly what I was aiming to express about, if you are wearing conservative items, try to find ones that make you feel slightly luxurious when you wear them. But not to break the bank, so, even at lower price points ( such as sales on BR, AT ) some items will turn up that a store just happens to do very well, maybe better than their usual quality.<br /> I think you are smart to put office culture above personal style. So many times one will get advice, "oh, you must be true to your own style" but is very easy to be much more "me- fashion " oriented than career- oriented and can be naive about office cultures.<br /> Do you read Corporette? It's way more business- formal oriented than what your office sounds like, but does discuss dressing to fit in, and is fun for another viewpoint to balance the very casual blogs, and also features clothing items that are more conservative but are versatile enough to fit into business casual and can be dressed down or up for occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack/page/2#post-1820897 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 12:40:19 +0000 bella 1820897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great deal! I am in desperate need of both of those items myself. I am glad you snapped them up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack/page/2#post-1820892 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 12:25:25 +0000 Scarlet 1820892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you! Those pieces look like they are made for you. I like the detail of the lace on the jacket. Smart thinking to get it lined if that ends up working out better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack#post-1820880 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 11:34:47 +0000 Anonymous 1820880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was a good idea to order the jacket. &nbsp;I understand what you mean about the lace now. &nbsp;I too would recommend lining it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack#post-1820873 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 11:01:26 +0000 Tanya 1820873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - thank you all for all the comments.&nbsp; I am very glad to hear other had similar and even better luck at the Rack - Minimalist, items that ring at $ 0.01 ?&nbsp; Now that makes my deal look ordinary.</p> <p>I have ordered the ET jacket online and hope it fits well - I will post it when it arrives and make a final decision&nbsp; on lining the lace, but seems that the majority is in favor of doing so.&nbsp; </p> <p>Paula, you are very welcome!&nbsp; I hope the idea works for you.</p> <p>Merwoman, I am glad to hear you do something similar in terms of researching fit.&nbsp; I order tons of thing online, and it is always better to have a decent idea of the sizing of a particular brand.</p> <p>Angie, thank you for the enthusiasm.&nbsp; Yes, I love ET.&nbsp; My taupe suit (that Suz has too) is from ET and has held up and served me very well.&nbsp; I can't wait to hear about your mega sale stroke of luck!</p> <p>Jenava, I know Rack does that, but&nbsp; I try to only get items I have seen in the main department stores.&nbsp; I also tried the items&nbsp; I bought, and the sizing was the same as my other ET pieces.</p> <p>Inge thank you very much for your the Massimo Duti suggestion. How does their sizing run? &nbsp; I have been in their store once in Milan and generally liked the vibe, but nothing jumped at me at the time.&nbsp; I will look carefully through their website.&nbsp;&nbsp; After having ordered the ET blazer, I should try and save my shopping money for the NAS.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack#post-1820867 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 10:44:10 +0000 Inge 1820867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to say, Tanya: it might be worth looking at Massimo Dutti as well to expand your work wardrobe for the new job. They usually have lots of "modern classic" items, and the quality is usually nice too. And they are currently having a sale ;-)</p> <p>I collected a few things, but there's plenty of other stuff on the website.</p> <p>P.S. I'm just so thrilled that you get to dress up for work again!!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack#post-1820863 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 10:24:15 +0000 Style Fan 1820863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt and pants look amazing on you Tanya.&nbsp; I love the wrap top you are wearing.&nbsp; Very flattering.<br />The blazer would be lovely.&nbsp; I don't know what to say about the lace inserts.&nbsp; It might be an interesting design feature.&nbsp; For myself I would have it lined.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack#post-1820858 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 10:04:35 +0000 Inge 1820858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW Tanya, two gorgeous pieces that fit you to perfection. No need to feel guilty at all: they were waiting for you, gorgeous lady!<br />Love the blazer too, and I think adding lining is a great idea, that way the blazer will be more versatile for you.</p> <p>Enjoy your new purchases!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack#post-1820850 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 09:06:40 +0000 Amy Isabella 1820850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some things are just meant to be!!!

Killer Amazing. MEGA stroke of luck! Wooohoooo. How perfect, Tanya. Your planets are aligning this year. Much love and hugs to you. </p> <p>Yeah. I like the idea of lining the lace insets. More versatile. </p> <p>Isn't Elie Tahari sublime. Love that brand. Had a mega stroke of sale luck myself recently too. Will share next week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack#post-1820836 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 05:48:38 +0000 minimalist 1820836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha yes, this is what keeps me going back to NR. Guilt? wait until something rings up at 0.01, then see how you feel about 13 and 25 dollar items. :-)</p> <p>I misread your first post and thought you were going to have the pants lined. Which is always a worthy alteration! Interesting about the jacket insets, though. </p> <p>Congrats on your score! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack#post-1820832 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 04:37:39 +0000 Brooklyn 1820832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done!

I like the lace detail - an interesting point of difference that will allow the colour of shirts + tops to be slightly revealed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ridiculously-good-score-at-nordstrom-rack#post-1820810 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 03:13:39 +0000 Carla 1820810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These will surely become workhorses in your new career capsule. </p> <p>My wonderful red trousers are ET.
