Was thinking about it. But I may want an even longer one for my long long puffy. Sorta depends. May suck it up and pay full price when winter stuff comes out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1707406 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 03:02:29 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1707406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, is this longer Bernardo in the running for you? The dark plum color looks pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1707263 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 22:43:34 +0000 Brooklyn 1707263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first one on you. I prefer the shorter length although I appreciate that it's not as practical. I like the blue one Angie suggested too. Lilypup is adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1707143 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 19:49:50 +0000 JAileen 1707143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered the Laundry and then the North Face later, and Nordstrom emailed me this. (The North Face should be delivered today.) The Laundry one fits great but the zipper continues up around the front edge of the hood. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1707139 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 19:45:29 +0000 Mochi 1707139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Burgundy looking very fine.....</p> <p>As is lilypup! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1707131 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 19:27:50 +0000 rachylou 1707131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous blue!

I am glad they had it in stock.</p> <p>I return to the Rack all the time. I think the sales associates cringe when they see me coming in! :-)</p> <p>(I always have a large bag of returns)</p> <p>By the way, I asked what they do with returns, and they told me they return them to the main store for restocking. They don't sell them in their store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1706817 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 10:12:43 +0000 harmonica 1706817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep us updated! The blue looks lovely and so does Liliypup, too. Too bad about the two piece dress. I really like it. I think it's made for people shrugging. Your shoulders looks fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1706806 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 08:22:46 +0000 Sal 1706806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the blue will be lovely and to me that puffer is reasonably long. &nbsp;It certainly covers the lower back area which can be chilly... &nbsp;I hope it works for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1706799 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 06:57:18 +0000 rachylou 1706799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh good news. Thx, delurked, Eliza. Makes life so so much easier.</p> <p>I placed my order. Hopefully they won't cancel it on me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1706790 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 05:35:40 +0000 Eliza 1706790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the Rack should work for Nordstrom returns. Here, they follow the Rack's 3 month return limit for Nordstrom purchases, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1706789 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 05:22:15 +0000 Anonymous 1706789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou - you can return Nordstrom to Nordstrom Rack. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1706785 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 05:14:36 +0000 rachylou 1706785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker - Maybe I'll hang on to the short coat, but I'm not sure colour will be enough to make me wear it (my greatest fear). I've had blue and burgundy in past years, which may be a reason I'm not that excited about them. The blue did take me a lot of places<br /> tho... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1706782 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 05:10:36 +0000 rachylou 1706782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gradfashionista - I learned about proper layering here on YLF. Wool and thermal layers and so forth. Because totally - just throwing a puffer over my thin little California clothes...laughable! Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1706781 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 05:01:35 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1706781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Given that you like the color of the jacket, you might keep it. I wouldn't order a longer coat in a color you're not excited about. The jacket is at least a long jacket (i.e., covers the butt), so I think it will have some warmth. The two coats you show do not look as long as your current coat, so they might not be as warm as you're wanting in a coat, anyway.</p> <p>Too bad the two-piece dress didn't work. Looks like it is cut for the reverse of sloping shoulders, or someone who is perpetually shrugging. </p> <p>You look great in your shopping outfit, and so does Lilypup, in her shopping carriage! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1706780 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 04:59:14 +0000 rachylou 1706780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok. Angie has spoken! I think I'm gonna order the blue coat (cross fingers, it's still available). I really love the colour of the jacket, but I AM afraid I'll be cold because of the shortness. And because I've had this preference for longer coats - well, I wouldn't have to do any thinking about styling.</p> <p>Can I return to Nordstrom rack, you think? A new one opened close by... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1706772 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 03:55:15 +0000 gradfashionista 1706772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm having a hard time visualizing which colour would flatter you most, but it's a great score on the jacket/coat. I don't find puffers to be warm and use my down-filled Patagonia one for running in cold weather, or for cool, rainy weather. Otherwise, it's too cold for leisurely walking. Sounds like your designated beat-up jacket serves that purpose? </p> <p>I really like that dress on you and am puzzled as to how it could produce that kind of shoulder gap. Seems like there's something off in the cut, rather than your shoulders. Too bad, it fits really well otherwise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1706757 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 03:16:14 +0000 DonnaF 1706757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Apart from warmth, a jacket has a different, more casual vibe than a coat IMHO. I like the gray, maybe because I have a Bernardo puffer vest from a couple of years back.&nbsp; But for more of a coat, I prefer the blue for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1706678 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 00:37:22 +0000 Angie 1706678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know who is cuter. You or Lilypup. You are bot ADORABLE.</p> <p>#1 looks fab, but I vote order in the blue.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1706675 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 00:30:56 +0000 Suz 1706675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>LILYPUP!!! </b>&nbsp;Could she be any cuter?&nbsp;</p> <p>On a side note I am sorry about the 2 piece dress shoulders, because otherwise it looks smashing on you. Your shoulders do not look sloping in the photo -- it's as if the top is too long for your torso, it seems to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>So, the jacket. I like the colour on you. It's really down to whether this one will be warm enough for you. I think Smittie makes a good point about seasonality -- but it depends what you want to wear it with, no? What will work with this length puffer.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1706655 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 23:41:09 +0000 Amy 1706655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks good on you, but I sense a little hesitation. Will it be warm enough for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1706653 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 23:38:37 +0000 Staysfit 1706653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, the color of the jacket is excellent. I think the blue coat might look okay on you. Although, it's just a guess. I kind of like the style, although it would be most helpful to see you wearing it. I wish Farley could help with shopping. With my luck he would develop a taste for silk blouses or something, and then I'ld really be in trouble! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-nordies-down---puffy-advice-needed#post-1706650 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 23:27:04 +0000 Anonymous 1706650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I was confused because I thought the Burgundy was also a short puffer.<br /> I think this warmer colour looks better than grey. I like the gold hardware on it and the burgundy interior too.</p> <p>I don't think you need to run back for anything </p>
