I'd buy the navy Smythe blazer with the cut out back vent that the Duchess of Cambridge has, and a khaki Burberry trench. Both would be workhorses as well as wardrobe pets.

That said,&nbsp;I am on the lookout for a crossbody bag, so a leather one would be at the&nbsp;top of my list. I wouldn't say no to Hunter boots and a&nbsp;tailored&nbsp;rainproof jacket from Barbour.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-won-the-nordies-2500-gift-card-what-would-you-buy#post-1323825 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 16:40:07 +0000 rachylou 1323825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, if I had such a gift card in my pocket, I might make the grand journey south and go visit the Nordie's with the Stella McCartney department. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-won-the-nordies-2500-gift-card-what-would-you-buy#post-1323812 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 16:30:48 +0000 Marlene 1323812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well we can dream! &nbsp;I would buy The Perfect Handbag. &nbsp;I imagine that would take most of it. &nbsp;The rest I would divvy up between my husband and 2 kids. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-won-the-nordies-2500-gift-card-what-would-you-buy#post-1323792 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 16:07:42 +0000 E 1323792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Undies, a couple pairs of good shoes (that Naot oxford Angie linked to is tempting!), and a good trench coat.

I would stick only to things outside my normal price range; something I wouldn't normally buy. But I think I'd try Nordstrom Rack first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-won-the-nordies-2500-gift-card-what-would-you-buy#post-1323731 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 14:24:52 +0000 Angie 1323731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A wardrobe pet.

And if Greg saw an Armani, Boss&nbsp;or Theory&nbsp;leather jacket he loved, we'd throw in that too.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-won-the-nordies-2500-gift-card-what-would-you-buy#post-1323622 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 10:41:14 +0000 crutcher 1323622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would put it in reserve so that when I found something that i loved and thought I would not be able to live if I didn't get it, then I could press the magic button and viola it would be mine... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-won-the-nordies-2500-gift-card-what-would-you-buy#post-1323535 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 04:39:32 +0000 DonnaF 1323535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, Deborah, Nordies has a bit of Rick Owens but sadly at his prices, $2,500 wouldn't go far.&nbsp; :(&nbsp; And where I live, sales tax is over 9%, so I'd have to take that into account, too.</p> <p>Isn't fantasy fun? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-won-the-nordies-2500-gift-card-what-would-you-buy#post-1323528 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 04:20:58 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1323528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I had a $2500 gift card in my pocket, I might actually try on a Burberry coat. And check out a designer handbag. I could probably spend it on a few pairs of shoes lickety-split. I would definitely be going for the less-is-more thinking. And it would all be for me. Is that awfully self-centered? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-won-the-nordies-2500-gift-card-what-would-you-buy#post-1323501 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 03:02:07 +0000 Deborah 1323501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would buy something for my DS and DH and I would hope I had enough left to buy a really fab Rick Owens garment (s) </p> <p>Wooops just saw it was a Nordies card!&nbsp; Do they have Rick Owens??</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-won-the-nordies-2500-gift-card-what-would-you-buy#post-1323500 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 02:59:56 +0000 Gracie 1323500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two each: leather tall Aquatalia boots, leather jackets in fab colors ala Janet, and leather cross-body bags. Boy, that took me like, 20 seconds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-won-the-nordies-2500-gift-card-what-would-you-buy#post-1323494 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 02:56:19 +0000 frannieb 1323494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A really nice handbag. I have a $300 dollar limit on purses for myself so I would get something awesome. </p> <p>Then probably freak and never use it because I am rough on purses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-won-the-nordies-2500-gift-card-what-would-you-buy#post-1323478 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 02:36:53 +0000 Susie 1323478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh for sure a pair of shoes! And maybe a nice bag. And something for each of my daughters. If there was anything left, maybe a coat. </p> <p>That would definitely be fun shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-won-the-nordies-2500-gift-card-what-would-you-buy#post-1323474 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 02:29:32 +0000 Gigi 1323474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooohh...I would head on over to the leather jacket department, and some cashmere sounds good too. And some of the expensive shoes—yes, I could handle that! Maybe some AGLs, which I refuse to even try on because I'm afraid I'll like them too much to say no. And I'd try on some of the premium denim just for good measure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-won-the-nordies-2500-gift-card-what-would-you-buy#post-1323442 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 01:42:51 +0000 Thistle 1323442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cashmere sweaters for the winter ahead. And a fabulous winter coat from Canada Goose - the kind used for people on arctic expeditions and climbing Mt. Everest. Take that polar vortexes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-won-the-nordies-2500-gift-card-what-would-you-buy#post-1323390 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 00:54:54 +0000 Mo 1323390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely no idea, but I mentioned to the BF he should enter since he's bought a hefty chunk of Canali work clothing this last month.&nbsp;<br />Maybe a great winter coat and some ridiculous shoes or fancy cuff bracelet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-won-the-nordies-2500-gift-card-what-would-you-buy#post-1323387 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 00:51:51 +0000 Laurinda 1323387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun game!<br />I'd treat me &amp; 4&nbsp;of my cousins/BFFs to bra fittings and $500&nbsp;lingerie wardrobes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-won-the-nordies-2500-gift-card-what-would-you-buy#post-1323379 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 00:43:32 +0000 Kristin L 1323379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohh... it's always fun to play the "what if" game. :)</p> <p>I think I'd buy a few nice pairs of shoes for me and DF. Then, I'd like to get a nice suit for my both of my brothers. They're still in grad school and could use a good suit.&nbsp;I'm not sure how much would be left after all that, but I think I'd like to treat myself to a nice purse or 2 with what's left.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-won-the-nordies-2500-gift-card-what-would-you-buy#post-1323368 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 00:32:37 +0000 DonnaF 1323368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nordstrom is offering reviewers the chance to win a $2500 gift card; I think they are only giving out one in each of the two sweepstakes periods so the chances of winning are pretty minuscule.&nbsp; But I am still submitting a review each day, ha, ha, ha.</p> <p>What would you buy if you received this $2500 windfall?</p> <p>I think I would at least try on footwear more expensive than my normal $200 ceiling.&nbsp; Since my feet are growing fussier by the minute, I wouldn't stock up because who knows if I would be able to tolerate a pair year after next?&nbsp; But I've always wanted to see if Fryes would fit me. . . and then maybe an expensive tote since I've never had one . . .</p> <p>It was quite a feat to get DH to accept a couple of shirts I bought during Nordies' Men's Sale, and he definitely needs to up his game and revamp his wardrobe, so I would spend some needed $ here.</p> <p>DD will be graduating from college in 2016 and will be needing a work wardrobe.&nbsp; I'm not sure that she will find any appropriate clothing to her taste and that fits her, but I want her to have decent supportive shoes and boots, and Aquatalias ain't cheap!</p> <p>$2500 is a chunk of change, but then it isn't.&nbsp; One big shopping trip for the three of us and then it would be gone.&nbsp; Of course, I would make it my Triple Points Day.&nbsp; </p>
