You get to see the best dressed people in town, all styled up and ready to roll. I people watch. Such fun! This is sport to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15502 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:11:40 +0000 julijuli 15502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I also had my eye on the yellow sweater jacket but i was thinking of getting it in black which would fit more in my fall color palette. i think this would be something that i could wear with layers in the fall. Is it the right thickness to do something like that?<br /> I'm a little worried about going to the downtown nordies tomorrow - hopefully the crowds won't be too scary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15422 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:17:44 +0000 Angie 15422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My pleasure, Ana! YOU NEED CREAM JEANS. </p> <p>I have from 7 till 9.30am tomorrow to shop the sale. Lets see how much I get accomplished. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15417 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 16:44:40 +0000 Ana 15417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder what the Nordie's here in Austin will be like? I read your post today Angie, and it answered a lot of questions--thank you!</p> <p>Thanks Nicole! I don't have cream pants yet, but I have my eye out for cream straight leg or skinny jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15413 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 16:26:42 +0000 Angie 15413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think downtown will have the best of the best, but Bellevue will be a lot less chaotic and won’t run out of sizes as quickly. It’s still a good strategy to go to Nordies in Belle Square, Naf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15410 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 16:09:51 +0000 naf 15410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie, I'll definitely check them out. But maybe not at 7am... ;-)<br /> Do you think the downtown store is better than the Bellevue Nordstrom? I was thinking of popping into Bellevue square since parking is free there, and it's closer to work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15385 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:45:09 +0000 Nicole 15385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, both those jackets are beautiful. I can picture you wearing them all winter long. Do you own any cream pants/jeans? I think that would look soooo nice with both jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15382 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:36:30 +0000 Angie 15382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the info San. </p> <p>Yup, saw the Hudson's too Naf. Yum! Will I see you at 7am tomorrow? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15360 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 06:23:02 +0000 naf 15360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dani, I marked those boots in the catalog as well, I'm going to check them out i would wear them with tights or skinny jeans, since I don't have a skirt that goes with boots. I hope you get them. If you wear them with a skirt, will you post a pic? I am also considering the Steve Madden slouchy boots (with what looks like a 2-inch heel to me) on pg 30. I hope they are comfortable, I really like them.<br /> I like the look of the LAMB jeans on pg 2, but not sure if "super skinny" is the right style for my shape Straight jeans might look better. Angie, have you seen the Hudson "stella" jeans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15347 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 03:35:20 +0000 Anonymous 15347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There will be taller flat boots during the sale. I bought the Frye pair at the pre sale. They are quite casual, but aren't all flat boots? I think they are good looking, just need to figure out how to wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15341 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 02:22:13 +0000 Angie 15341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous riding boot! Not familiar with the brand, but I will be. They look short for you though. You’re a tall girl. Remind me of your height, Dani? </p> <p>They could absolutely work with casual skirts if they fit your calf properly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15334 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 02:12:37 +0000 Dani 15334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On the subject of the sale, has anyone had any experience with the brand of boots on page 8-9 of the nordies sale catalogue? The flat, cognac boots? Here's the link, not sure if it's going to work. I have fussy feet and just wanted to know if they are comfortable before jumping in to a purchase. Also, do you think they'd work with skirts (very casual look)?</p> <p><a href="http://catalogs.shoplocal.com/nordstrom/index.aspx?pagename=shopmain&#038;fsid=a4876111-db40-4a21-b7f4-0190c327e31a&#038;circularid=13606" rel="nofollow">http://catalogs.shoplocal.com/.....arid=13606</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15332 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 02:08:48 +0000 Ana 15332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray! You'll have to do a blog post about the Nordie's sale with a full report of what you tried on and what you bought, or maybe we will have to start a thread here since so many of us are going to check it out. </p> <p>Thanks for all the responses. I will see if our Nordie's has the jacket and I will at least try it on for fun if they do (ours here in Austin seems very small to me and doesn't carry a lot of items). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15330 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 02:06:29 +0000 Angie 15330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure yet. It depends on what else I find, Ana. I shall definitely try it on! Black skinnies and slouchy chestnut boots are top on my list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15320 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 01:35:11 +0000 Ana 15320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie! I will try to get more wear out of them this year, because I really like them, and I think they will look nice with skinny jeans tucked into boots.</p> <p>Are you going to get the plaid LAMB jacket on page one? Maybe I can live vicariously through you, hee hee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15319 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 01:31:42 +0000 Angie 15319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are lovely Ana. I'd wear them through Winter too. Sans brown and green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15318 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 01:27:42 +0000 Ana 15318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it's too hot to wear until November. And I LOVE orange, so I bought the jacket in orange before I realized I probably couldn't get much wear out of it. Orange tweed just seems very "autumnal" to me as well (so I wear it basically in the month of November), but maybe I'm wrong? Here's a photo of my jacket:</p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/bella.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb...../bella.jpg</a></p> <p>I also have this one, which is blue velvet:</p> <p><a href="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1342/1434032313_425d80f60e_o.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm2.static.flickr.com.....f60e_o.jpg</a></p> <p>I know, not very practical buys. It was before I came here--I'm trying to get better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15315 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 01:19:25 +0000 Angie 15315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see. Good to know. So tweed is just too hot anyway?</p> <p>(the outfit is simply delicious). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15308 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:41:44 +0000 Ana 15308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am looking at the plaid LAMB jacket on the first page of the catalog again--it is so cool, I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15306 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:35:09 +0000 Ana 15306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie! </p> <p>No, that's when it gets cool enough to finally wear a tweed blazer. Before then it's above 80 degrees, and it's only around 70 degrees November 1 (unless it's a freakishly cold/hot year). The coldest temperatures are in January/February, and they get into the 40s, but most days are 50s, I'd say. At Christmas time last year I was only wearing a merino wool sweater and was plenty warm, even outside.</p> <p>It's the only thing about Austin that makes me sad, because being a Pacific Northwest girl, I dearly love my sweaters and jackets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15303 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:31:11 +0000 Angie 15303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure Ana! </p> <p>So, does it become too cold to wear a tweed jacket in Austin later than October? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15299 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:21:24 +0000 Ana 15299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, thanks for the tip, Angie! I will keep my eye out for a similar jacket that is a nicer quality, then. Since you are looking for something like that as well, if you come across one, would you let me know (if you remember)? Most black blazers I've seen around look like suiting jackets, but I wanted something with more detailing, that I could wear with skinny jeans or something. </p> <p>I love the outfit on the first page, too! I briefly considered the plaid jacket (I love plaid), but decided it probably wouldn't be very practical in my climate. It's very "autumn centric" to me, and I wouldn't even begin to wear it until October/November, which would only really give me one month of wear. I ran into this problem last year with an orange tweed blazer I have. One month, then back into the closet it goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15293 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:09:17 +0000 Angie 15293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried the LAMB jacket on today. I loved it too. Don’t get it. The quality and look is very disappointing. I’ve just told my client to take it off her “favourites list”. </p> <p>The yellow sweater jacket is actually more of a mustard. It’s really nice! I’ve seen it. </p> <p>I like the opening outfit in the catalogue (LAMB from head to toe). I would wear that outfit in a heartbeat sans the stiletto booties. I can’t wait to hit that sale! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-and-nordies-anniversary-sale#post-15283 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 22:25:17 +0000 Ana 15283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie and Antje! </p> <p>Antje, I went to Nordie's yesterday and picked up a copy of the catalog. I really like the yellow jacket on page 11 (I think it would look fab over my berry colored J. Crew Elizabeth halter), but I have my eye on this, which is selling out fast (and is not part of the sale, apparently):</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2983157/0~2376776~2374327~2374375~2384000?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=2384000&#038;P=1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/29.....0&#038;P=1</a></p> <p>On the one hand, I think--there will always be another black blazer (I don't currently own one). I really like the detailing on this one though, because it doesn't look like a "business suit" blazer, which I've seen a lot of and don't want. On the other hand, there will be lots of sweater jackets as well. What's a girl to do? </p> <p>Angie, I'm looking forward to your blog tomorrow (and your answer made perfect sense)--thank you! </p>
