I hope that the items work out for you. I have two of the tube skirts and love them. I did feel like they were a little long at first, but the short-waistedness of my body works in my favor because I can hike the waistband up farther. The raw edge seems like it would make it really easy to hem if you need to. My mom has the VC banded top in red and it looks incredible on her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nordstroms-order#post-714177 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 00:53:11 +0000 MNsara 714177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice choices and I have fingers crossed that they all work out beautifully for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nordstroms-order#post-714160 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 00:15:55 +0000 Gaylene 714160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I can totally empathize with the limitations of shopping in a small center. My son laughs at how much shopping I do when I visit him and my daughter-in-law in Toronto, but it is such a luxury to be able to take one's time instead of feeling pressured to make a decision.</p> <p>I'm sure your Nordstrom's order will work out for you because you have been very careful with the items that you've chosen. Those tops sound lovely, and scarves and handbags don't have sizing issues. Each of the items you've ordered will play an important role in your wardrobe. Keeping my fingers crossed for a 100% success! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nordstroms-order#post-714157 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 00:10:42 +0000 krishnidoux 714157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this is exciting! Can't wait to see it on you. You are so organized and have a wonderful husband. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nordstroms-order#post-714152 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 00:00:17 +0000 Anonymous 714152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fingers crossed for you Suz! I'm excited to see how those tube midis look on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nordstroms-order#post-713706 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 16:52:38 +0000 Sveta 713706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck, Suz! I understand the worry only too well. However what is greta woth nordstrom that you can really return anything any time. I have returned items from last year NAS when I came for this year NAS. True, you will not get your money available right away for a different purchase but at least they will not be lost. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nordstroms-order#post-713702 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 16:48:29 +0000 rae 713702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm excited for you! I hope this is a good experience and that you can get some great things. </p> <p>I heard about a service for Asian countries that allows clients to ship US items to their address, and then they take everything over in bulk so that their clients can get things that don't ship internationally. I wonder if there is a similar thing for Canadians? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nordstroms-order#post-713692 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 16:34:13 +0000 Suz 713692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Merwoman, you are exactly right. I get anxious when spending money on myself, and in particular when making an order from the US. My husband is going to be there next week so the pressure was on to order the "right" stuff so as to avoid paying duty and shipping on this. I know I can return if necessary. But I rarely order from the US for direct shipment to Canada because the costs just rise too high. </p> <p>I ordered a plain black banded top, and the teal stripes. One is petite and one regular size. Best I could do. </p> <p>I think a lot of my angst and anxiety would be reduced if only I had more shopping opportunities. Living in Kingston makes shopping stressful. Very little in the stores. When I do get to the city I feel rushed and pressured and often make poor choices. Online is fine...but only if I'm not paying extra shipping, duty, and returns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nordstroms-order#post-713652 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:52:59 +0000 merwoman 713652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful choices - it will be so exciting for you to get these babies home!</p> <p>I know I feel really anxious when I am spending money (especially on myself) - and perhaps that was what was contributing to your angst? So many choices, how to narrow it down - it can feel overwhelming. It's so important to just make a start somewhere - there is no right or wrong. Hugs to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nordstroms-order#post-713641 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:48:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 713641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad about the Only Mine sweater Suz - but keeping checking back because it may reapper due to a return. </p> <p>I have the VC banded top and really like it - which colours did you order? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nordstroms-order#post-713636 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:47:16 +0000 Freckles 713636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like fabulous choices Susan, can't wait to see them when you finally get to try them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nordstroms-order#post-713581 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:12:47 +0000 April 713581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, Suz -- I keep looking at those VC banded tops. Did you get solids or stripes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nordstroms-order#post-713576 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 15:11:11 +0000 Suz 713576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alas! </p> <p>I waited too long to pull the trigger and missed out on the Only Mine zip back sweater. </p> <p>So sad. </p> <p>It resulted from my indecision about other things....</p> <p>However, I did order a few items. A couple of handbags. The VC tube midi in two colours (oh, I hope it fits...) Two of the VC banded tops. And a scarf. </p> <p>Wish me luck. None of these will "move me forward" exactly, but I hope they all will fill important wardrobe holes. </p> <p>Onward - to building the core, and finding just the RIGHT extras!</p> <p>Thank you all so much for you help yesterday and for tolerating my angst. I am feeling a little more hopeful. I honestly think, in my case, a personal shopper to help me find a few key essentials and one or two standout statement pieces would be money really well spent. From there I think I would have confidence to build forward. </p>
