I had no idea, for example, that boots came in different calf circumferences and that if they didn't fit well at the calf, they really didn't fit correctly. I just thought boots were boots and you got what you got. Now I notice ill-fitting boots *everywhere*, including in my own closet. </p> <p>That and PPL -- boy, I never noticed how rare it is to see PPL, even on sites selling clothing. The pants are nearly always too short, and once again, this includes my own closet. I generally need a petite size in the hip area, but petite sizes tend to be too short in the leg -- and I do NOT have long legs. So now I am stuck buying regular sizes for the length and altering the hip and waist. </p> <p>Things were much simpler when I was clueless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-may-catalog-observations#post-64715 Sun, 10 May 2009 01:05:10 +0000 taylor 64715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris,</p> <p>Funny you mention this. I did get that Nordi catalog. Not only do I look through mags and catalogs with Angie in mind . I am seeing pant length in a whole new way. I often think..."If only those pants came all the way down to the bottom of her heel"</p> <p>The discerning eye..both a blessing and a curse...I had to toss some of my own things...:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-may-catalog-observations#post-64663 Sat, 09 May 2009 16:32:57 +0000 Chris 64663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get these slick, very well produced "look books" from Nordstrom every few months. May arrived (cover is a model in sun hat) and I couldn't help looking through it with a YouLookFab perspective. </p> <p>Nordstrom Trends Angie would approve of:<br /> White Denim<br /> Soft Dress (their's is $68, bright pink and very versatile)<br /> Print Skirt (they show a blue and white cotton done three ways)<br /> Gladiators and ballet flats<br /> White Watch<br /> Tunic<br /> White Bag<br /> Embellished silk scarf (very updated scarf shown for $39)<br /> Gear meant to be gear for working out<br /> Good bra<br /> Bright, polished accessories: sophisticated wallet, hoop earrings, long strand necklaces, statement and boho necklaces, cool sunglasses</p> <p>Nordstrom Trends Angie would NOT approve of:<br /> Capris....throughout catalog. There is a nice page showing various bottom lengths and 3 out of 6 styles are a bad capri length. 2 are knee length and very cute.<br /> Flip Flops<br /> Maxi Dress</p> <p>So Angie - do you get this catalog? Did I get it close to how you look at it?<br /> Does anyone else see catalogs and magazines and think this way? </p>
