I have had luck with Pikilinos before so I am sure they will pass the comfort test when I have time for that. In terms of looks, SO CUTE.</div><div><br /> </div><div>The hoodie and sling bag are already packed for my vacation tomorrow, so those are staying.</div><div><br /> </div><div>As for the jacket, it's a good point that I can tailor it more easily now! But my concern is more that the arms would be too large if I size up, which makes tailoring more complicated. I attached some pics where you can see the fit issue better. It fits more like a coat on me, and this is where I often run into fit issues if I can't get a petite size. I hope it works a bit better on those of you who aren't short-waisted and curvy!<br /> </div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order/page/2#post-2211375 Thu, 22 Jul 2021 12:06:47 +0000 RobinF 2211375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice items, love the boots especially.

It’s pretty awesome, isn’t it?! &nbsp;I love all the items you posted later. The hoodie is super cute on you, the style and colors of the bag are great, and the boots are fab. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2211315 Thu, 22 Jul 2021 00:30:09 +0000 Bijou 2211315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great, the boots are so fabulous. I like bj1111’s suggestion to get the larger coat tailored to fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2211310 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 23:33:07 +0000 smittie 2211310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and the blazer looks like it’s the right size to me.<br /> Also, the Herschel bag is really cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2211302 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 22:24:26 +0000 kellygirl 2211302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg, so cute! All of it. The hoodie fits so well and that sling bag looks great. My boots haven't even shipped yet but if how cute they are you is any indication--I have a tough decision to make. Thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2211299 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 21:57:06 +0000 JAileen 2211299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jacket is cute! &nbsp;Hoodie is too! &nbsp;Mine has not even shipped.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2211296 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 21:27:33 +0000 bj1111 2211296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>that jacket is all kinds of awesome.&nbsp; if you decide to size up, its an easy alteration to narrow the jacket at the nape--commonly done for mens' suit jackets.&nbsp; the ladies at our nordie's alterations department are gifted and can transform an item.&nbsp; nice to use another card bonus. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2211286 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 20:12:00 +0000 smittie 2211286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your picks, Christina. They definitely match your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2211279 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 19:01:58 +0000 Inge 2211279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Ooh just saw your new comment! Love all three items for you!! The striped hoodie is fun and great that it may already come in handy in the next few days.</div><div>I really love that type of slingback "rucksack", they are very hard to find here, and this one has that fun print too. A winner for sure.</div><div>The booties are amazing, holding thumbs that they'll pass more testing once you get back.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2211278 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 19:00:01 +0000 Inge 2211278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I love it open too, and it's really so fun and unique. But I understand that you would want to wear it closed too, especially if the fabric is more substantial. Thank you for posting the photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2211277 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 18:59:48 +0000 Christina F. 2211277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The other three items came.</p> <p>Caslon hoodie - A little oversized but this is basically for my loungewear capsule, which needs help in the warm top department since I’ve moved to better climate control. I don’t see any pilling but it’s possible that it will pill easily, I guess. I am leaning towards keeping and throwing into my bag in case I need an extra layer on the plane this weekend. Likely KEEP. </p> <p>Herschel sling bag - great wildcard item! I put it on the front of myself so you could see it better, but I will actually wear it on my back. it’s large enough to fit my camera and a few other essentials for travel. I heart this print too. KEEP. </p> <p>Pikolinos boots - I think I love these but likely won’t be able to give them a proper assessment until after my trip. That said, so cute! LIKELY KEEP </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2211273 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 17:52:45 +0000 Christina F. 2211273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div><b>Suz</b>, of course! it's nice in person, but not all of us can wear ssomething double-breasted. I think <b>cat2</b>is right on that score. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>cat2</b>, I think you hit the nail on the head. I did like it open, but it's a pretty substantial jacket and I'd hate to not be able to close it.<br /></div></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2211270 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 17:33:38 +0000 cat2 2211270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, maybe look for something single breasted instead? Those long double breasted jackets never look quite right worn open, and seldom fit closed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2211257 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 15:43:46 +0000 Suz 2211257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh -- cool! I like seeing the jacket on you. I get the issue, but it's more appealing to me in person than I thought it would be! (Surprise surprise, <b>Christina</b> orders it and suddenly I want it, LOL.)&nbsp;</p> <p>I had a Nordies (store) card for a number of years but it elapsed last year and I now have to renew -- if I decide to do that. It's hard to decide because now I'm plugged into the Canadian store system and rewards -- but at the same time, the Canadian stores and site offer much less.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2211251 Wed, 21 Jul 2021 15:14:30 +0000 Christina F. 2211251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I got the plaid jacket - I was able to do a quick order on that and expedite shipping. The rest (except back ordered vest) is also arriving today.</div><div><br /> </div><div>This is a lovely item and more of an outdoor jacket than I expected, IYKWIM. I did size down, but as usual, that means it pulls across my hips and belly when closed. I am not sure the size up would fit me well at all throughout the rest of it. Sometimes oversized can just look plain sloppy, sometimes intentional. I wouldn’t wear it this way but you can see the fit. </p> <p>Anyway, if I were to size up, I would have to wait at this point until I return from my trip, if it’s available.<br /> </div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2210495 Sat, 17 Jul 2021 19:49:02 +0000 Inge 2210495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christina - Good to hear that your junior co-worker is doing so great, that at least will hopefully already lighten your workload a little bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2210482 Sat, 17 Jul 2021 19:13:06 +0000 CocoLion 2210482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the combat boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2210405 Sat, 17 Jul 2021 12:01:11 +0000 Christina F. 2210405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kellygirl, can definitely see you in these boots as well. I have a red pair of Pikilinos boots from two years ago so i have high hopes! </p> <p>Inge, thank you. We will make it through but it’s a bit unfortunate that I’ll be the only one left who can do high level work. Everyone else is too new or junior. My junior person is kicking butt though, so hopefully I can train two more to be just like her! </p> <p>Jenni, it is annoying but I’ll be able to pay it off the few times I use it. I’m not worried about spending more or anything like that. I just have other cards with other perks that I’d rather use most of the time. I kiss you all too, and yes my new home is wonderful! Our quality of life has improved vastly. </p> <p>Kathie - thank you! I would like a red coat!</p> <p>Oh, JAileen, you too? I hope the reviewer just got a random bad one. Not that I expect Caslon to be the highest quality, but I also don’t want it to pill immediately!</p> <p>Windchime - good call. I love that blue plaid even more! Gorgeous. </p> <p>rachylou-I hope it will work on me, but I’m concerned that it will be too long. I wish they had a petite size, because that would still be long on me. I can only try though. </p> <p>Angie - makes sense on the blue plaid, so I will size down if I can get it. It’s a LOOK for sure! I suspect it will be too long on me, since they don’t have a petite, but I need to try it if I can. I have a cashback card that I prefer to use most of the time, and for joint purchases we use a travel points card. I got the card that’s just for for Nordy’s only. </p> <p>Bijou-this is my first ever store card! The only reason I decided I may as well as that there is no annual fee. i’m not worried about the interest, since I always pay them off every month. When I was young and in grad school, the store credit card was never a good idea. And then I was trying to build back my credit rating before we bought a new home. The credit rating has now served its purpose!</p> <p>suntiger - me too! I’m going to the family summer home on Lake Michigan, so I hope to bring it. It should see a lot of action. </p> <p>Staysfit-I do love me some plaid and some high contrast items. I don’t have a teddy coat, so I’ll see if I can get that one and if it works. I am hard to fit on coats though, unless they come in a petite size. Otherwise, the fit often goes awry on my hips. As for my work situation, thank you. August will be quiet and I hope to hire for a position I’ve had open for a little while, which will take some of the pressure off my junior person. I need to hire a second person now too, it will be hard to do all the training while I’m doing all the high-level work on the team. But we will make it through! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2210403 Sat, 17 Jul 2021 11:55:29 +0000 kkards 2210403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly I got the card for the alterations benefit…early access to the sale was a side bonus<br /> And I here you re work…sorry it’s been so stressful lately hoping you fill these jobs soon (although that’s stressful in it’s own way).<br /> And now on to NAS. Love the boots, I can see then really working for you. And the plaid pieces are fun, especially the plaid patchwork </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2210395 Sat, 17 Jul 2021 10:33:29 +0000 Staysfit 2210395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christina, I hope the white boots work for you! &nbsp;The patchwork blazer caught my eye. &nbsp;I can imagine you rocking this! &nbsp;They have a lot of nice plaid in this years sale, particularly shirt coats, and items similar in style to this Teddy Coat. &nbsp;The houndstooth vest is sure to be a winner….if I wore black and white/cream or higher contrast items it would have been one of my top picks. &nbsp;I will admire it on everyone else! &nbsp;<br /><div><br /></div><div>I am sorry to hear how stressful your workplace had been. &nbsp;I hope things ease up for you soon!</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2210384 Sat, 17 Jul 2021 09:15:27 +0000 Anonymous 2210384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking forward to seeing that pretty bag in action! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2210357 Sat, 17 Jul 2021 04:56:55 +0000 Bijou 2210357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have picked great pieces. I hope they all work for you. I sympathise with getting a card, I have resisted the urge to get a store credit card which is much easier as my local stores do not offer such exceptional discounts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2210354 Sat, 17 Jul 2021 04:29:23 +0000 Angie 2210354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Nordies card is the only one I have. It's a good thing in my book. Lots of perks - and for us in Seattle, Nordies in local.</p> <p>Fun stuff.</p> <p>The Treasure &amp; Bond plaid jacket has VERY sharp shoulders, and runs big. A big '80s acquired taste.</p> <p>Bag, vest and boots are top picks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2210344 Sat, 17 Jul 2021 03:49:57 +0000 rachylou 2210344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really could see you in the blue plaid especially! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2210318 Fri, 16 Jul 2021 23:29:36 +0000 Windchime 2210318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you were smart to get the card, if you’ve been “having the same debate with yourself” for a few years. Now you can enjoy shopping the sale.</p> <p>That beautiful red coat caught my eye, too, but in my closet, it would split wears with my beloved Pendleton plaid coat. So I’ll enjoy it on you. Here’s hoping the T &amp; B blazer works for both of us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2210310 Fri, 16 Jul 2021 21:59:14 +0000 JAileen 2210310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got the card 3-4 years ago for the sole purpose of participating in the sale. &nbsp;I don’t even use it the rest of the year.</p> <p>You got some fun things - the plaid jackets are fab. &nbsp;I considered both, but ended up ordering the hoodie. &nbsp;Maybe it won’t pill! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2210309 Fri, 16 Jul 2021 21:58:07 +0000 Kathie 2210309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the print on the bag, and the red plaid will be such a good color on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caved-made-a-small-order#post-2210306 Fri, 16 Jul 2021 21:40:57 +0000 Jenni NZ 2210306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great for you. I am just writing to commiserate about 2 things: all the extra work, which is always difficult, and secondly that I also would have been most annoyed by having to get a special store credit card. I have one Visa and it does everything! But if you don’t use it often I guess keeping track will be OK.<br /> And also- understand why, but have missed you on the forum. And hope the new home is all good xx </p>
