Shoot, what a bummer!

I guess I must have remembered that they had it in petites and assume it would be in plus sizes too. I wonder why? It seems like a skirt that is flattering on so many sizes and body types! Grrrr.

On the other hand, Encore has had some really dazzling dresses this year that I've seen when I am searching through dresses on Nordstrom without filtering it by size... and many of the dresses I'm attracted to aren't available at Nordstrom in straight sizes.

I saw a Hinge black leather jacket with a little peplum detail that I just loved, but I really can't justify another black leather jacket since I bought one last fall to "replace" the one I bought shopping with my mom over 15 years ago. I say "replace" because I'm never getting rid of that original jacket, such good memories of my late mom!

I did a pretty quick visit yesterday and came out with some winners, but I was relatively short on time so I didn't look at shoes at all (!!) Here are a couple of things from the catalog that intrigue me that I didn't see there:

Via Spiga asymmetric zip front cape -- I love the edge to this piece. I tried on two other capes and wasn't wowed, but maybe my eye needs to adjust to the look. Oh, and I need to try them on with jeans rather than my summer skirt and sandals. ;-P

DV blue suede booties. I so don't need these, but I just love them!

Mackage Tessa coat -- I love the hemline and the cuff and collar details.

I also think I will need to check out some jeans when I'm there next. A few of my jeans from the last couple years need to be retired.

Kari, I'm dying to hear what you finally choose.

Here's what I got yesterday: Frye ankle boots in fawn, Alexis Bittar earrings in rose gold, and a Chantelle bra. As always, I was completely overwhelmed. I'm going to wait for Angie's picks to see if there are any treasures I missed. And I'm sure there were many!
