I was happy with them. I like the wedge. I finally had enough sunlight to capture their green color. My previous pictures of these boots look brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-frustrating-wardrobe-failure-leads-to-inspiration#post-1372964 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 02:32:02 +0000 Elly 1372964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those boots are really elegant looking on you-- sorry about the pants! Nordies is great though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-frustrating-wardrobe-failure-leads-to-inspiration#post-1372931 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 01:23:26 +0000 unfrumped 1372931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like your substitute outfit.<br /> If the ponte pants are coming apart there is no problem returning or exchanging them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-frustrating-wardrobe-failure-leads-to-inspiration#post-1372925 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 01:13:01 +0000 Staysfit 1372925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I appreciate all the encouragement. We don't have a local Nordstrom so anything I do with the pants will have to occur by mail unless I wait for the next time I visit my family in Michigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-frustrating-wardrobe-failure-leads-to-inspiration#post-1372902 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 00:48:17 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1372902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great save! The colors and proportions work so nicely. I really like the vest over the outfit. I'm sure Nordstrom will take back the pants, and I'm hoping you'll be able to get another pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-frustrating-wardrobe-failure-leads-to-inspiration#post-1372883 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 00:30:45 +0000 Karie 1372883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They've got a great return policy so you should have no problem. Very nice fall outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-frustrating-wardrobe-failure-leads-to-inspiration#post-1372878 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 00:19:41 +0000 CocoLion 1372878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute fall outfit!! And I think this is the kind of thing you SHOULD return. Let them know of defects. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-frustrating-wardrobe-failure-leads-to-inspiration#post-1372865 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 00:05:29 +0000 SW Ann 1372865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>II can't imagine them not taking these as a return....I had a purse I had purchased from them about a year and a half before that&nbsp; took in to find out if they had a person who could do a repair.&nbsp; When they saw it, they offered me a refund (no exchange as it was no longer available)&nbsp; When I declined they had someone fix it for free and returned it to me.&nbsp; It was not a super expensive purse (expensive for me but not not a LV or something)--my point--they stand behind what they sell. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-frustrating-wardrobe-failure-leads-to-inspiration#post-1372861 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 23:54:29 +0000 Sal 1372861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So frustrating but a great look came out of it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-frustrating-wardrobe-failure-leads-to-inspiration#post-1372851 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 23:30:37 +0000 Staysfit 1372851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will call Nordstoms this weekend and talk with someone about a return. &nbsp;It sounds like most people think they will allow for a return or exchange, which makes me happy. &nbsp;I was happy to find ponte pants that weren't black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-frustrating-wardrobe-failure-leads-to-inspiration#post-1372841 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 23:23:09 +0000 Aida 1372841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nordstroms will take them back, and if they're still in stock will likely exchange as well. I like the look with the lighter pants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-frustrating-wardrobe-failure-leads-to-inspiration#post-1372840 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 23:21:58 +0000 Thistle 1372840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Nordies will take them back. I would at least try.&nbsp; That is very disappointing from EF!!</p> <p>Still, you made lemonade out of the situation. You look terrific.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-frustrating-wardrobe-failure-leads-to-inspiration#post-1372839 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 23:21:08 +0000 Meredith 1372839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look with your, but hope you can Nordies will accept the return and you can show us that version too. I think they take back anything, so you should be fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-frustrating-wardrobe-failure-leads-to-inspiration#post-1372825 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 22:58:53 +0000 columbine(erin) 1372825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad. You'll look great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-frustrating-wardrobe-failure-leads-to-inspiration#post-1372815 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 22:29:36 +0000 Staysfit 1372815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Columbine, you are right, the scarf is long enough! &nbsp;I tried it as soon as I saw your suggestion and it looks great! &nbsp;I love it and will try to use it soon! &nbsp;Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-frustrating-wardrobe-failure-leads-to-inspiration#post-1372810 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 22:18:54 +0000 columbine(erin) 1372810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa! I would think Nordstrom would take them back. I hope so. Looks like this scarf is long enough for the tie&nbsp;I suggested in the other post.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-frustrating-wardrobe-failure-leads-to-inspiration#post-1372808 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 22:16:04 +0000 Staysfit 1372808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was looking forward to wearing my new EF ponte pants, EF silk blouse and green Aquatalia boots today. &nbsp;The weather was perfect for this ensemble. &nbsp;I put on the never before worn ponte pants and, bam, the seam down the thigh was separating (It looks like it is&nbsp;sewn with a serge machine and the stitches are loose. I included a photo where I stuffed the pants so you can see the gap. &nbsp;It isn't a hole, just a separation and&nbsp;there are still connecting threads.)&nbsp; With little time to spare, I hunted quickly in the closet for something else that would work. I found a pair of ecru narrow wale cords. &nbsp;I rolled the cuffs, snapped some pics, and then decided that my J Crew puffer might work with it as well. &nbsp;I added a scarf for some interest and headed out the door. </p> <p>&nbsp;In the end, I liked this version better than with the ponte pants! &nbsp;I think it may be one of my better looks. &nbsp;What do you think? &nbsp;</p> <p>Will Nordstrom accept the Ponte pants&nbsp;as a return? &nbsp;I had just cut off the tags :-(</p>
