Seriously, I went looking for edgy colorful tops the other day - got the floral ones, but found tons of pants and shorts I had to leave on the racks... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-sale-went-in-for-pants-came-home-with-shirts--p#post-1496151 Mon, 25 May 2015 15:54:33 +0000 Janet 1496151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL Una! Just for a day, I'd love to know what it's like to have an easy time finding great pants that are flattering. Even at my smallest size, it was never easy. </p> <p>Annabelle, those are interesting picks, and I like the edginess. I try to keep an open mind, but I have a bit of an aversion to very dropped crotch styles. Perhaps because I'm already widest across that part of my body (saddlebags don't go away even after hundreds of miles of running and cycling, heavy sigh), I feel like those styles call too much attention to that area. I'm also quite short-waisted, with a big chest, so high-waisted and pleated styles are very problematic on me. I want to streamline that part of my body as much as possible. </p> <p>It may be completely bonkers, but I'm also trying these gauchos in the Finds. Again, could be brilliant on me or could be disastrous. My legs are long enough that the length might work, but I don't know. It's a lot of fullness, so if they are at all stiff and not drapey, the effect could be all wrong. I'd probably ditch the sash. I kinda wish they were available in something other than black, because I'm getting a bit tired of so many black bottoms in summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-sale-went-in-for-pants-came-home-with-shirts--p#post-1496065 Mon, 25 May 2015 14:19:10 +0000 frannieb 1496065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That happens to me all the time when I go shopping for pants - I end up coming home with something else.</p> <p>Great tops&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-sale-went-in-for-pants-came-home-with-shirts--p#post-1496063 Mon, 25 May 2015 14:10:18 +0000 Anonymous 1496063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like that Burberry shirt!&nbsp;<br />And you know what?

Have you seen some of Angie's finds, lately? These I've appended have a cropped cut, but they have more personality than a run of the mill capri. I can tell from your willingness to try the jogger, that you might be adventurous enough to rock these cargo inspired cuts.&nbsp;</p> <p>So fun!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-sale-went-in-for-pants-came-home-with-shirts--p#post-1495813 Sun, 24 May 2015 22:05:59 +0000 catgirl 1495813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So funny because I'm the opposite - always looking for shirts and can only find pants!&nbsp; These are fab take-homes. OMG the BURBERRY! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-sale-went-in-for-pants-came-home-with-shirts--p#post-1495718 Sun, 24 May 2015 16:54:33 +0000 rachylou 1495718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you will look esp. fantastic in the Burberry. What a luck-out find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-sale-went-in-for-pants-came-home-with-shirts--p#post-1495692 Sun, 24 May 2015 15:33:30 +0000 kkards 1495692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>also happens…go for one thing, find something else….love that helmut lang dress, if i was taller, i'd be all over that!love all 3 shirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-sale-went-in-for-pants-came-home-with-shirts--p#post-1495691 Sun, 24 May 2015 15:06:59 +0000 Janet 1495691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peri, it's not too sheer at all. Seemed perfectly fine without a cami underneath, which is refreshing since it seems EVERYTHING in white these days is too sheer. The last thing I want on a hot day is to put another layer underneath a breezy top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-sale-went-in-for-pants-came-home-with-shirts--p#post-1495690 Sun, 24 May 2015 14:54:25 +0000 Peri 1495690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the birds top!

The "jogger" style has grown on me a bit, but I'm not seeing them much in the stores -- is the trend passing by? It seems they would suit the sporty luxe thing pretty well, but I'm wondering if that is a fading trend or still going strong. </p> <p>The dress is a long shot. It may be too boxy for my body type, but it's really cool and appeals to me. Sometimes it's hard to tell because I am *so* not built like a model -- this may not work on someone with actual boobs and hips. Not sure if I'll try it. Just a cool design. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-sale-went-in-for-pants-came-home-with-shirts--p#post-1495685 Sun, 24 May 2015 14:28:10 +0000 Janet 1495685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, thanks, Angie! I thought that Burberry had been featured here at some point, but I couldn't *find* it, heh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-sale-went-in-for-pants-came-home-with-shirts--p#post-1495677 Sun, 24 May 2015 14:12:59 +0000 Angie 1495677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great picks, Janet. Look forward to seeing them on fab you. (You know I like the white shirt best, although the Burberry shirt was a top pick). Here is the Find. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-sale-went-in-for-pants-came-home-with-shirts--p#post-1495670 Sun, 24 May 2015 14:01:48 +0000 Glory 1495670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds on the tops! I love them all but number 3 sings to me! Enjoy your new items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-sale-went-in-for-pants-came-home-with-shirts--p#post-1495665 Sun, 24 May 2015 13:40:30 +0000 Janet 1495665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Sterling! </p> <p>I think it may be time for a little closet mini-edit to make a little more room for some new favorites. The shirt section is getting a little full. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-sale-went-in-for-pants-came-home-with-shirts--p#post-1495661 Sun, 24 May 2015 13:23:28 +0000 Anonymous 1495661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Janet. &nbsp;I love all three pieces. &nbsp;I especially love the hinge top. &nbsp;It looks beautiful. &nbsp;I look forward to seeing you style them.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nordstrom-sale-went-in-for-pants-came-home-with-shirts--p#post-1495644 Sun, 24 May 2015 12:51:17 +0000 Janet 1495644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Story of my life. They didn't have much in the way of any pants that appealed to me, and the ones I tried on didn't quite work, but I got a couple of tops on good sale that I admired back when they were full price. </p> <p>The Vince mixed shirting shirt is crisp and a little preppy, but the loose fit eases things up a bit. Hubs has mentioned how much he likes how I look in white shirts, so I thought I'd give this a whirl. The fit is excellent, and I love the mix of stripes and solid white. Simple but a little interesting, and can be worn untucked or tucked, with skinnies or flares. For some reason, it is not on sale on Nordstrom's web site, but it was marked down by half in the store. </p> <p>I was surprised to see the Burberry shirt on the sale rack (not available as a Find, but I found a photo). I loved this shirt when I first saw it in the store, but I couldn't justify the price. Well, at less than half the original price, I finally thought it was reasonable. The plaid is so perfectly matched, and I love the colors! </p> <p>The Hinge patterned shirt is, I hope, JFE. Not part of the sale, but it grabbed me. I love the print. Blue and white! Birds! I actually think the stock photo doesn't really do it much justice. I tried it on with navy cullottes (!) and it was a lot of volume, but I think it will look cute with denim jeans or cutoffs. Click through to Nordstrom's site to see the back of the shirt, the back is really cute. The cullottes were not bad on me, but I wasn't convinced I'd actually wear them in my real life, so I left them behind. </p> <p>Stocked up on a bit of underwear too -- I realized it has been two years since I refreshed the underwear drawer! ;-)</p> <p>I did a little summer closet review yesterday morning, and I am well set for shorts for summer. I have a good selection of mid-length and longer (bermuda to clamdigger length) shorts. I am, however, lacking in something a little longer (capris or joggers maybe) for days when I want to cover up a little more but still stay cool and casual. The Athleta capris are going to be worn out! I have some silky track pants (navy Vince ones and patterned ones from Sundance), but they are both silk and a bit dressier. I tried on a pair of casual joggers at Anthro last week and kinda liked them, but they were a little big on me and the next size down was not available. I looked for something similar yesterday but to no avail. I might try another Anthro. </p>
