Simply wonderful. In the end, I chose to buy several bras and I am so very happy with them -- wow! Things are getting busy and I may not have much more shopping time -- but I am already content, so it's okay. Thank you all so much for your helpful tips and advice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/downtown-seattle-stores#post-283094 Thu, 20 Jan 2011 01:27:21 +0000 BarbaraL 283094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, I wish I could, but I'll be meeting family and enjoying the city with my husband. Thanks so much for the suggestion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/downtown-seattle-stores#post-282711 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 05:06:06 +0000 Kari 282711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BarbaraL - also, just a reminder that if you can make it, the Seattle YLF swap is on this Saturday. I realize you have a very short trip, though, and may not have time or room to bring discarded clothes with you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/downtown-seattle-stores#post-282710 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 04:39:52 +0000 BarbaraL 282710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much! I will make a beeline to Nordstrom for a bra fitting, and take it from there. I'm madly taking notes on all of your suggestions, including Kari's bra finding tips! I will indeed have time -- Sunday through Thursday -- to sightsee, meet some of my brothers and old friends for coffee/lunch, relax, and shop :)</p> <p>Again, thank you SO much. I am really excited! Seattle is my childhood home, and this will be a wonderful treat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/downtown-seattle-stores#post-282467 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 21:29:03 +0000 judy 282467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of good suggestions. I'd also recommend the downtown Seattle Nordstrom Rack, especially if you've got time to spare. It can be a fun hunt.</p> <p>There is also a very tiny but wonderful consignment store called Driftwood one block North and East of The Rack. </p> <p>Have fun! I hope the sun comes out while you are here so you can see the mountains that hide behind the clouds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/downtown-seattle-stores#post-282287 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 15:16:14 +0000 Jenava 282287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also Banana Republic might be good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/downtown-seattle-stores#post-282269 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 14:19:34 +0000 Kari 282269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, definitely Nordstrom for your bra fitting! (A tip: even if you find the perfect bra at Nordstrom, and it's out of your price range, write down the style number and brand and snap a picture of it on your cell phone. Then keep an eye out on online sites including Nordstrom/Nordstrom Rack, Figleaves, HerRoom, Bare Necessities, etc. - even Amazon.com - to see if the bra ever goes on sale in your size.)</p> <p>You might also browse the stores in <a href="http://www.pacificplaceseattle.com/home.aspx">Pacific Place Mall</a> and <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;sqi=2&amp;ved=0CBYQFjAA&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.westlakecenter.com%2F&amp;ei=rKA1Tby_O4zSsAOTlNm-BQ&amp;usg=AFQjCNHYNXri3QbbeCI53NWyWsKODCI26g">Westlake Center</a> to see if there is anything you want to hit up. I know several YLF members really like shopping at Club Monaco in Pacific Place.</p> <p><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&amp;sugexp=ldymls&amp;xhr=t&amp;q=seattle+westlake+center&amp;cp=13&amp;qe=c2VhdHRsZSB3ZXN0bA&amp;qesig=ZSiBS1Ze7iNFFRy1Rf42xg&amp;pkc=AFgZ2tmDiqzEG1YablXFMgU4S-4pshx7wGkkKh0miPd02c9uZivEtyTbCJT-BovbN_RDEu6X2AuDslKeZoNRKzUzLFFA2xK7mQ&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;sa=N&amp;tab=wl">H&amp;M</a> and <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&amp;sugexp=ldymls&amp;xhr=t&amp;q=seattle+westlake+center&amp;cp=13&amp;qe=c2VhdHRsZSB3ZXN0bA&amp;qesig=ZSiBS1Ze7iNFFRy1Rf42xg&amp;pkc=AFgZ2tmDiqzEG1YablXFMgU4S-4pshx7wGkkKh0miPd02c9uZivEtyTbCJT-BovbN_RDEu6X2AuDslKeZoNRKzUzLFFA2xK7mQ&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;sa=N&amp;tab=wl">Ann Taylor Loft</a> are also nearby. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/downtown-seattle-stores#post-282263 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 13:44:29 +0000 umayama 282263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>may be you check <a href="http://www.guidespot.com/guides/seattles_best_womens_clothing" rel="nofollow">http://www.guidespot.com/guide.....s_clothing</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/downtown-seattle-stores#post-282029 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 00:52:34 +0000 annagybe 282029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For bra fitting go to Nordstrom.

I've enjoyed YLF for about two years, but 2010 was crazy so I lapsed into occasional peeks rather than my previous modest participation.</p> <p>This Friday I'll be in downtown Seattle for a week -- my dear husband has a conference. In fact, this is the first time I've ever been able to accompany him. While he's busy, I plan to enjoy the core of the great city I grew up in/near (art museum! coffee! vistas! seafood! and a hotel room in which to relax, knit, and read!). I am also excited to check out stores such as Nordstrom, ATL, and H&amp;M that I don't have easy access to here in an Oklahoma college town but that are an easy walk from my hotel at 7th &amp; Pike. So... I'm looking for store recommendations :)</p> <p>My style is classic, skirt-wearing, smart casual MOTG nearing 50 and I'm a curvy pear. My budget is usually Target, JCPenneys, and thrifting, but I am willing to spend more than my usual for core items. In fact, I have a short list of needs that I am looking for:<br /> * a couple of pretty, seamed, well-fitting bras (and I need a bra fitting)<br /> * short black half-slip (18"?), preferably silk, for the skirts I wear every day<br /> * micro fishnets<br /> * denim pencil skirt but not 5-pocket styling</p> <p>Could you give recommendations for stores not to miss in downtown Seattle, whether for my shopping list items, great stores / departments that won't bust my budget, or just 'must-see's? Thank you so much! </p>
