I wore this sweatshirt for the first time on Easter (two days ago). I’m not sure I like the skirt with these shoes. With that much leg showing the shoes look odd to me because the vamp comes all the way up to my ankle. I wear skirts and dresses so rarely that maybe I'm just not used to how they look. What do you think?

Back to the main topic of this posting. On the evening of Easter Sunday I noticed a small stain just above the pocket. It was probably food related since I was cooking etc, and that area was not covered by my apron, but I don't know what it was.

The next morning (yesterday), I put some Shout stain remover on the
stain and waited about an hour. The stain was gone, but so was the dye in that area; there was an almost white spot a few inches in diameter. I washed it by hand in cold water and a tiny bit of laundry detergent to see if that would sort it out, but after it dried the almost white spot was still there. (The washing water looked a little yellow too) The garment is apparently not color fast! I didn't think a $78 sweatshirt should behave this way, and just got off a chat session with Nordstrom and they said they’d replace it but I do need to return the damaged one. I’ll update this later on after I return the old one and get the new one…but in the meantime if you buy this sweatshirt in any of the colors, note that it might not be colorfast.

And kudos to Nordstrom’s customer service. I know once in a while they fail but most of the time they set the gold standard, at least that’s been my experience.
