I can't wait to see you post some outfits with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185439 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 20:48:07 +0000 chewyspaghetti 185439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya-I had those in my hand, but I didn't try them on. I tried on a couple other similar varieties and the only ones that I could even get on were Joe's Jeans because they had a ton of stretch to them (but I didn't like the color and they were way out of budget. After so many pair, I gave up on the non stretchy ones. I really liked the ponte knit ones that I tried on, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185429 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 20:28:35 +0000 Maya 185429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you see these pants Khris? Are they too pricey? They're like the skinny military style you wanted and come in olive.</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3112390?refsid=303156&#038;refcat=0~2376776~2374327~2374335~2377665&#038;SourceID=1&#038;SlotID=1&#038;origin=related&#038;cm_Sp=Related-Items-_-Product-_-Manual" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/31.....t-_-Manual</a></p> <p>Sorry I keep corrupting your thread with added junk.

Khris! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185242 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 08:37:52 +0000 RoseandJoan 185242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, I'm glad you enjoyed being a lone shopper for a change. I can't even begin to imagine NAS with children in tow. The trouve jacket looks lovely and may still be contender. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185224 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 07:11:11 +0000 chewyspaghetti 185224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya- I have been lusting after that dress! It's a good thing that it is heavyweight twill and has those cap sleeves- because that means that it would be too hot for a summer dress for me, anyway.</p> <p>I actually had fun playing fall dress up, since we are in the midst of a heatwave (tomorrow is supposed to be 107), but I am really trying not to buy too much too early. It didn't help that I picked a tiny store (didn't know that when I was trying to decide between two). I got home to find a dress from Macy's that I had ordered as an exchange- it doesn't fit, so now I have to return it. Maybe I will go to the other Nordie's/Macy's next weekend.</p> <p>Sihaya- I haven't lost any weight, but I seem to have gotten smaller. The dress that I bought today was a single digit number size. The last time I remember having a single digit number size was a 6X (that's little girls clothes and I was in kindergarten!)</p> <p>Once my new hairdresser saw how fast my hair grows, he started cutting it much shorter. I am actually going to grow it out a bit now for fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185222 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 07:06:49 +0000 Scarlet 185222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually, I LOVE that jacket and top on you. Like all-time favorite outfit of yours love. Somehow the colors are very flattering to your face and the two pieces look really good together as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185188 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 05:05:46 +0000 marianne 185188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh, I went today and only ended up with a couple of bras and Angie-approved Oroblus. I was too focused on finding some boots that nothing else really jumped out at me. I also agree about lacking motivation for winter clothes shopping. Our summer just started, and I don't have a slightest idea what I would want for the fall.<br /> Regardless, both look lovely on you Khris. Maybe you could buy them, keep for a while and return later if you find things you like better? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185174 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 03:59:02 +0000 Maya 185174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BTW Khris...this dress totally reminds me of you. I know it is about 5 times outside your budget, but you never know when a killer sale might happen...</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3106536/0~2376776~2374327~2374331~6014132?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6014132&#038;P=5" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/31.....2&#038;P=5</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185155 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 02:59:09 +0000 Misia 185155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jacket, it looks so much like your style and I love your hair in this picture, is it getting shorter? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185143 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 02:46:45 +0000 Sparky 185143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I do like that jacket on you a lot. I adored the shopping sans kids too ~ no worries about rushing, able to actually focus on the task at hand. BTW, I ended up buying that very same tunic. I think I'll get a lot of use out of it this summer and into fall.</p> <p>I thought I'd find it hard to look at and try on fall/winter clothing at NAS during our New England heat wave, but the temperature was so cool in the store with their central AC that I was happy to put on jackets and sweaters for a bit of warmth! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185131 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 02:38:19 +0000 Sihaya 185131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris - what a great picture of you. I love the jacket on you. Have you lost more weight? It looks like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185118 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 01:58:12 +0000 Beth 185118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, the jacket looks great on you and I love the hair. Very nice:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185097 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 00:54:13 +0000 Lisa 185097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jacket on you. Very pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185080 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 00:19:31 +0000 kellygirl 185080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket looks great on you, Khris. I like the color and the style. Looks very wearable for a MOTG! </p> <p>FWIW, I was underwhelmed with NAS as well. I'm kind of with Maya in that many items don't really seem to work for my lifestyle. It's also been so darn hot that I'm not very motivated to look at fall/winter clothes. The only thing I did order were the Frye Jane's but I'm not sure that I'll keep them. I'll have to see when they arrive. </p> <p>Glad you were able to shop without worrying about the kids. That's a treat in and of itself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185061 Sat, 17 Jul 2010 23:44:22 +0000 Maya 185061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like a lot of Nordstrom's merchandise but I feel like it just isn't right for my lifestyle, age, and budget. I'm sure I could like a lot of stuff if I tried it on, but nothing ever grabs me the way things do when I walk into an Urban Outfitters, H&amp;M, or Anthropologie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185058 Sat, 17 Jul 2010 23:32:23 +0000 chewyspaghetti 185058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya- I actually did find and try on a lot of things that I liked. You may be right, though- I have never really been a Nordstrom's shopper. I was able to try on several different military/cargo pants. The ones that I liked and will be considering for fall were both a ponte knit jegging type (at Express and AEO) rather than the more twill type that I found at Nordie's.<br /> I tried on several other military type jackets, but I do like the Trouve one better than any of the other that I have found so far- both in color and fit. As time goes on, I am also more drawn to the silk tunic. We'll see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185037 Sat, 17 Jul 2010 22:31:39 +0000 Tanya 185037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really, really like this jacket on you Khris. If you do not get this particular one, you should definitely consider something similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185035 Sat, 17 Jul 2010 22:29:25 +0000 Anonymous 185035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder how many people find it hard to even try on fall and winter clothing when it's so hot. The olive (is it olive?) of the shirt and jacket look so good on you. Your hair is adorable, BTW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185032 Sat, 17 Jul 2010 22:27:00 +0000 Maya 185032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, I was also a little underwhelmed by what I saw. I didn't even try on anything because I just didn't find anything I liked enough to go through the trouble for. Somehow I think you and I are not really in Nordstrom's target market. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185029 Sat, 17 Jul 2010 22:24:22 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 185029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a pity! </p> <p>I love the jacket and shirt you posted though... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-to-the-nas-and-didnt-buy-a-thing#post-185027 Sat, 17 Jul 2010 22:22:53 +0000 chewyspaghetti 185027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't believe it, but nothing was signing to me (well, actually something did, and I bought it- a summer dress at NY &amp; Co out in the mall). I tried on a lot, and I even took pictures, but only one came out at all:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chewyspaghetti/4802529751/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/c.....802529751/</a><br /> These happen to be two of Angie's picks- the Trouve military jacket, and the silk shirt. I liked both, but didn't love them enough to buy them. I am thinking about getting the jacket, though. It was nice to really be able to try things on and not worry about time or kids. </p>
