Now we're skirt twins (Let's just make sure we never ever wear them at the same time in the same place, ha!) If you need a pair of work pants but love the skirt, then I'd totally keep both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long/page/2#post-17211 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 00:30:34 +0000 Angie 17211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds fab! And I get to see it ALL tomorrow </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long/page/2#post-17199 Sun, 27 Jul 2008 20:51:48 +0000 Sihaya 17199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went back to Nordstrom with 45 minutes minus kids to shop and picked up a few things. I bought both the Semantics skirt and trousers. I need one more pair of work trousers but thought the skirt looked cute too and would go well with boots in the winter. Anyone have thoughts on which to keep or to keep both? The sale price was great. I also bought a cute casual winter jacket. I can't find a picture of it online and will post once I get into picture taking and posting mode. It's off white with black patterns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long/page/2#post-16103 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 04:35:27 +0000 Sihaya 16103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's correct - Marianne's link that is. The other jacket looks interesting and is my style but rarely do double breasted things work for me. This is a full winter coat. </p> <p>Ana - thanks, great idea to wear it with the MeToo gray pumps. I will definitely give that a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long/page/2#post-16073 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 01:11:06 +0000 Antje 16073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianne linked to the right coat (the one Sihaya bought). We liked all of their colors, but in the end the cream one looked the most stylish on Sihaya. It's super. <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/29" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/29</a>.....38&#38;P=1 </p> <p>I tried the fuchsia one, but it didn't fit right on me (the sleeves were too long, and since there is sleeve detail I wasn't open to factoring in alteration.)</p> <p>For anyone who's considering the Tulle coat, note that they run quite small. I'm almost always a medium in coats (occasionally a small) but I would need the large in the Tulle coats in order to fit a sweater or cardi underneath. Sihaya is between XS and S and went with the S which wasn't a bit too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long/page/2#post-15986 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:19:19 +0000 Tanya 15986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with you, a purple bag is definitely on my list! I like the Target Botkier one, but it's more of dark pink. I like the color of the one you showed me much better. So I think I'll try to hunt at discount places for such color in real leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long/page/2#post-15985 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:14:39 +0000 Ana 15985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read that--you're welcome! When I saw the bag, I said, "OMG, Patience look at this bag--doesn't this look like Tanya? I could totally see her walking into the lab with this," and Patience agreed. :)</p> <p>Purple is definitely not my color, but I'm excited to see it playing a bigger role this fall, because it looks really stellar on you! Do you think you'll try that purple Target Botkier bag? You definitely need a purple bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long/page/2#post-15981 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:07:42 +0000 Tanya 15981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I am sorry too, but nothing I can do about it I hope I'll like the grey oxfords in reality. </p> <p>Oh, and thanks for thinking about me with the purple bag. I posted a more detailed response on that thread, but it basically says that I really like the bag and that you are so sweet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long/page/2#post-15979 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:05:33 +0000 marianne 15979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this the coat?<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2979607/0~6002289~6002290~2378375~2382538?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=2382538&#038;P=1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/29.....8&#038;P=1</a><br /> I saw it on the site and was wondering about it too. </p> <p>Antje, both jackets look great on you! And I like your glasses a lot! Makes me want to get more adventurous with mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long/page/2#post-15978 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:04:17 +0000 Ana 15978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, now I think maybe I didn't see the one they were talking about, if it's the one you posted above. </p> <p>It's too bad the bus doesn't go out to Nordie's where you live. I did see the booties you bought though, they look neat--very interesting. Sort of brushed and textural. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long/page/2#post-15977 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 02:55:40 +0000 Tanya 15977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The one you linked too is lovely Ana, but I thought that Antje mentioned that it was by Tulle. Anyway, doesn't really matter, I really like the one you linked too, but that's not my color for sure . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long/page/2#post-15971 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 02:36:38 +0000 Ana 15971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm.....no, let me see if I can find it on the Nordstrom website. This might be a great jacket for you too, Tanya....</p> <p>Okay, I can't find it online. I think it's this one, but it was cream, which they don't have online:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2983338/0~6002289~6002290~2378375~2378407?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=2378407&#038;P=1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/29.....7&#038;P=1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long/page/2#post-15966 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 02:27:14 +0000 Tanya 15966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, is this the jacket (but in cream) ?</p> <p><a href="http://www.tulle4us.com/shop/shop_detail.asp?xtitle=&#038;title=jacket&#038;season=&#038;p_idx=506&#038;nPageNo=3" rel="nofollow">http://www.tulle4us.com/shop/s.....;nPageNo=3</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long/page/2#post-15965 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 02:22:28 +0000 Ana 15965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Antje and Sihaya, I think I know which cream jacket you're talking about! Does it have sort of a funnel neck and is double breasted? If so, I love that jacket! The corduroy is a little casual for me personally, but the shape and the neckline and the color are awesome! Are you going to try wearing the grey wedges and jacket together, Sihaya? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long/page/2#post-15959 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 01:27:39 +0000 Antje 15959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Kyle, love that you bought the whole suit. Patience got the skirt, so between me and her we have the suit, too :-)<br /> I do love the flare on the back of the jacket, it's really the funnest part (that and the leather piping.) I was thinking that fuchsia will be great under the jacket; I'm hoping to get a fuchsia blouse with ruffles or a tie. I think you're also totally right on with purple and burgundy; they just aren't my colors.<br /> But I think a lot of colors will work with the jacket/skirt, including probably a mustard yellow (again not a good color for me, though), and light/bright blues. We shall experiment, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long/page/2#post-15955 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 01:15:03 +0000 Kyle 15955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Antje: I love the colored cardigan. So pretty and the fit is super. The Semantiks jacket looks great on you -- I bought the very same suit. The flare on the back of the jacket and skirt really make it flirty, don't you think? It gives me some curves I don't really have. Was thinking of wearing it with a purple or burgundy bag or shoes. What will you wear with yours? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long/page/2#post-15953 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 01:01:46 +0000 Antje 15953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sihaya, the cream coat you got (for $58! I still can't get over that) is Tulles. It looked PERFECT on you. Check out their collection at <a href="http://www.tulle4us.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tulle4us.com/</a>, they have some very fun things, and some local boutiques carry them.</p> <p>Ok, I think I'll give the booties a try. I'll order them online so I can take my time trying them out at home. I'm still not convinced that bootie and skirt is going to be a new look for me, but I'm open to at least try it out. And I definitely look forward to blog posts about it and pictures from others! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long#post-15921 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 22:03:10 +0000 Nicole 15921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Antje, the black fine wale jacket looks awesome on you! I love the skirt too. And the coral cardi (reminds me of one I have), so of course I love it too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long#post-15915 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 21:47:52 +0000 Angie 15915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You said it Ana - "signature". I am absolutely sure you’d have found fab things AT Nordies, Tanya. Things were different once you were actually there.</p> <p>Antje - hose, slim ankles and shapely calves are the prerequisite for the “bootie and skirt look”. You have the goods. It’s a question of whether you LIKE the look. I like the look and will finally sport it this year, sans the shapley calves but a girl can't have it all! This is your answer to a closed Winter shoe that’s not a boot-boot. The FS booties are particularly great because the stretchy part on the vamp of the foot closes tightly onto the foot. (Tanya was spot on!) </p> <p>Ana, I’ll get to blog posts on booties. Your NL booties are theoretically “sling backs”. Good for skirts too if you have the right leg shape. High vamps are VERY hard to wear with skirts. Booties that cover the ankle are not booties – they’re ankle boots. Does that make sense? And to confuse things even further there is a uber high fashion trend of wearing ankle boots with skirts and dresses. VERY hard to do. </p> <p>Dani, you could wear brown socks instead of tights if you wore the booties with pants. And Ana’s idea is great. </p> <p>Sihaya, your signature style is SO strong. I could pick your pieces out for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long#post-15913 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 21:33:38 +0000 Patience 15913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto, Antje, on everything. You did great. That skirt is killer on you. I will try to post pictures of the skirt that matches your blazer later this weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long#post-15912 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 21:19:25 +0000 Rosie 15912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Antje, AWESOME buys! I absolutely love the skirt. It is perfect for your naughty secretary fantasy! It fits you fabulously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long#post-15907 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 21:10:04 +0000 Sihaya 15907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - you know me a bit too well *blush* to have predicted I was going to come home with the grey suede Me Too's. Let me know if you're predicting anything else too so I can just make a short cut to that department </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long#post-15884 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 19:24:18 +0000 amy29 15884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh...I like all of the Semantiks pieces you picked up. Most of my favorites are from that department, as well, but I was disappointed with the fit on their no cuff dress pants. Too fitted for my hips. I'm hoping to go back and look more at their tops. I love the mustard jacket that's in the catalogue, but seeing as how I'm a pale-skinned, ash-blonde, I'm thinking I may need to look into some of the other colors. Anyway, I loved the Semantiks line this year, and you came home with some really cute stuff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long#post-15880 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 19:17:03 +0000 Ana 15880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dani, you're quite tall right? You might be able to wear them with black tights, since they are more of a chestnut brown. I think the matching tights to shoe color thing comes from wanting to create an unbroken line visually--this is especially important if you're short, but I really think it depends on the outfit, bootie color, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long#post-15879 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 19:12:36 +0000 Dani 15879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, I don't have an answer but I was going to get those Franco Sartos in the brown but I don't picture myself wearing brown tights with them, or maybe I could. I was just wanting to get a versatile pair of shoes and I tend to be more of a brown shoe person. Maybe I just need to change that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long#post-15878 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 19:01:40 +0000 Ana 15878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Antje, I was wondering how to tell if booties would work with skirts and dresses as well. For instance, does styling of the bootie matter? I know the Nanette Lepore booties would look super cute with a skirt, because they had ruffles on them, and you wouldn't want to cover them with a pant leg anyway. If booties are sort of masculine, does this mean you shouldn't wear them with a skirt? Also, do the same rules of booties apply as calf length boots? Do the same booties work for pants that work for skirts? Sorry for all the questions!</p> <p>I am planning on wearing my booties with tights that are a similar color. I might try experimenting with patterned tights and booties, or maybe micro fishnets. I'm really not sure if this will work or not, since I've never worn tights and booties before, but admired the look in magazines and such. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long#post-15876 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 18:59:20 +0000 Tanya 15876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I am far from bootie expert ( am yet to get a pair myself), but I figure that for skirts one might want to exactly match opaque tights to bootie color as to elongate the leg line and also maybe make sure that the booties fit very snug around the ankle- i.e. no visible empty space. But I'm sure others will have better ideas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long#post-15875 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 18:54:16 +0000 Antje 15875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, you're right, those Franco Sarto booties might be great for me. I saw them but it was towards the end of the shopping excursion and I was getting overstimulated. There are in my online shopping bag right now and I might just click "purchase" ;-)</p> <p>Question to all you bootie lovers: How do you wear them with skirts? I don't have a good vision for that, but it sure would make them more versatile. What would I have to look for to determine whether a pair of booties makes a good combo with a pencil skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long#post-15867 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 17:23:32 +0000 naf 15867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your finds Antje!<br /> I made it to the sale as well, and came back with jeans, boots and a couple of tops. I will post them later I need help deciding which jeans to keep, so I will also post pics. I have houseguests today, have to run... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antje-and-sihaya-at-nordies%e2%80%99-today-long#post-15862 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 16:52:16 +0000 Ana 15862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, not boring--signature. </p>
