You are the best! Look at this amazing shopping you have been doing for me! I love so many of these choices. </p> <p>Una, I'm TOTALLY focused on that navy jacket. That is sensational. I have to think about whether I can justify the expense (when we're about to go on a big family trip to China). I don't think so...yet...but WOW. That is gorgeous. I love the others, too, but that one is so amazing and so perfect I can't see straight. </p> <p>Do you know much about the sizing (she says, innocently, pretending to herself she is not getting serious). The reviewer says it fits snug in the shoulders. I suspect I might be between sizes. Which could be tricky. </p> <p>Another question...let's just say I WERE to buy this jacket. How long would I have to do an in-store return if it didn't fit me properly? </p> <p>VC - those were AMAZING choices,. Thank you for taking so much time on that! You are so generous. And so smart. Because you know what? I had already put a couple of those items in my bag, including the sweater! </p> <p>Question - should I go for the teal or the purple? I like both and think I can wear both. So it is a question of which would be most versatile for me, I guess. </p> <p>Sylvie, those are both great bags! Thank you! </p> <p>Zap, I hope I won't find that skirt too body con for me. I LOVE the one you linked to...but given my work life (at home) I feel as if it's too big a splurge for something that would rarely get worn. Sometimes working at home has its disadvantages. </p> <p>Thank you so much again, all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-must-haves-from-nordstrom-for-me#post-711726 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 16:13:28 +0000 catgirl 711726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bumping for Suz </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-must-haves-from-nordstrom-for-me#post-711389 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 05:33:17 +0000 catgirl 711389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, here's an awesome leather jacket in navy:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/trouve-cascade-leather-jacket/3245628?origin=keywordsearch&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=193" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/tr.....ltback=193</a></p> <p>I may splurge on this one instead of the Theory one!</p> <p>Another in burgundy with a peplum:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/hinge-leather-peplum-jacket/3306739?origin=keywordsearch&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=4017" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/hi.....tback=4017</a></p> <p>And a faux one in brown at a good price and a cool cut:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/velvet-by-graham-spencer-blush-faux-leather-jacket/3352982?origin=keywordsearch&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=6501" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ve.....tback=6501</a></p> <p>Can you tell I'm focused on finding you that transformative statement piece that wil bring the rest of your style into crystal clear perspective?

How about this one (gear-ish, but looks slightly better than the usual 'gear' type anorak to my eye, and a pretty good price on this one, imo):</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/laundry-by-shelli-segal-hooded-anorak-nordstrom-exclusive/3251333?origin=category&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=385" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/la.....ltback=385</a></p> <p>How 'bout this jacket - would be one of those things that might totally elevate your entire wardrobe (so would the jacket in #2)...not 100% sure, but I love the idea and colour for you - might be better with a collar instead of without, but throwing it in here as an 'idea' just for fun. I can see you in a cream leather jacket or a cream trench a la Angie. </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/truth-pride-silk-leather-bomber-jacket/3290882?origin=category&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=700" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/tr.....ltback=700</a></p> <p>Ok - this bag is black, but it's not basic or boring at all - also comes in a fab eggplant colour. Was one of Angie's NAS picks and happens to be on sale again for 50% off. This will fit, no matter what, but I'm not 100% certain of the style for you. I have a preference for the eggplant colour, but with a red coat....no. Would have to be black in this particular handbag. Again, it's certainly not the boring, basic black handbag though...worth considering if you like the style. </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/steven-by-steve-madden-excursion-satchel/3298631?origin=category&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=BLACK&#038;resultback=980" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/st.....ltback=980</a></p> <p>Speaking of bags, did you want another cross-body bag? While the colours in these wouldn't necessarily work with your red winter coat, I will say that I think the Perlina brand is very nice quality, and these are on sale for about half-off. In my opinion Perlina is a great deal for a handbag to begin with - very high quality for the original price, let alone the sale price. Taupe or blue might round out your casual capsule nicely. Good for running errands and so on. I don't have this bag, but I'm putting it on my list immediately. I had a Perlina bag once before and loved it. </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/perlina-norah-crossbody-bag/3298595?origin=category&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=MERLOT&#038;resultback=2240" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/pe.....tback=2240</a></p> <p>Ok that was fun! I love shopping for others... I'm not sure any of these are a "must have" but just from a quick look through my wish list and a brief glance around at what was on sale (or not, as the case of the olive jacket), these are things I might pick for you. No, there's no coherence to it...but I think most of these things would look great on you, and there are a couple of 'useful/practical' items thrown into the mix (travel coat, taupe oxfords, blue cross body bag) as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-must-haves-from-nordstrom-for-me#post-711297 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 01:38:53 +0000 Anonymous 711297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really, really love this skirt:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/classiques-entier-sunmosa-mixed-media-skirt/3281901?origin=keywordsearch&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/cl.....sultback=0</a><br /> I tried the tube midi and sadly it went back.

Would DH be able to take the reference for the gibson blazer in burgundy and buy it then? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-must-haves-from-nordstrom-for-me#post-711224 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 23:24:23 +0000 Suz 711224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful blouse, bookwormmoran!

I think this one by London Fog is fab and the red trim would make the bag look fab with your red winter coat <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/london-fog-sutton-crossbody-bag/3317329?origin=category&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=2961" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/lo.....tback=2961</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-must-haves-from-nordstrom-for-me#post-711144 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 20:21:27 +0000 Suz 711144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I'm going to get it in ink blue but also in cobalt, which is on sale.

I'm thinking... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-must-haves-from-nordstrom-for-me#post-711113 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 19:52:49 +0000 Suz 711113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband's going down to the states to visit family in a few weeks. </p> <p>I plan to make an order from Nordstrom's for him to bring back. So far, I aim to order the Vince Camuto tube midi skirt, a Nexx shirt, the Angie-recommended challis scarf. </p> <p>Any other thoughts on what I should consider?</p> <p>My NEEDS include bras, but sadly, Nordstrom's doesn't carry my size, so I'll be ordering those elsewhere. </p> <p>I could also use some really good layering Ts - mine are old Land's End Canvas and not in great shape. </p> <p>I also need more boots but I worry about sizing if I've never tried them on. </p> <p>A bag - it should be larger than my current cross body, but it does need to be a crossbody or shoulder style. It can't be red because much as I love red, my winter coat is red. </p> <p>I have been thinking about the Gibson jacket, but I wanted the wine colour, not black. So that's out now. </p>
