April, it is good you mentioned this thread on my thread - somehow I missed it completely!
Unfortunately I did not find anything at the Nordstrom special size sale - that was a disappointment especially because I could have meet with you ladies instead... On the other hand I may not anyway as I would not get to Philadelphia before 4PM that day...
I find it very hard to shop when traveling with somebody else: I feel guilty for making them spend time in the store and this feeling distracts me from shopping
However while I was trying on shoes my hubby ventured into man's department to look for a new jacket. Do you know what did he find? Jacket from Armani for just a bit over $1000! He said he liked how it fits...maybe he is fashion forward after all?:-)
I also went to Rack for the first time. Not much luck there - just a basic black turtleneck for layering. I have tried some premium jeans though and discovered that 7FAM are not cut for my body at all (:() but Paige fits me much better. They did not have them in my size but this knowledge is important too, right?:-)
I really liked both Philadelphia and Boston - I like cities with characters and they have plenty of this!
