My Nordstrom purchases are rolling in at an embarrassing rate! It feels like every time a friend or family member comes to the door, there are 3 or 4 more boxes waiting on my stoop. Thankfully (for my bank account), I’m at about a 50/50 success rate at this point. Below I included what I’m keeping and what I’m taking back with a little personal input on each piece.
The Keepers
Of course I love all of the shoes and can’t bring myself to part with any of them. The Rag & Bone booties are a splurge but I have 1 other pair I’ve worn for years and think they were worth the money.
Pair #1 | Pair #2 | Pair #3 – (Taupe no longer available but here they are in black)
This vegan leather (apparently that’s the fancy way of saying pleather) coat has gold details which I love and are pretty hard to find. It’s also great quality for the price and actually looks real!
Even though I live in California, I’ve been wanting a camel coat for years! This Ralph Lauren coat is great quality, has good structure but can still be dressed down for casual dinners.
The Rejects
This sweatshirt is so cute, I just love the color and style. Unfortunately, it’s a tad bit small and the cotton is not very soft. If it weren’t $80, I might have kept it but I think I can find something similar for that price.
This sweater is super soft (cashmere – my favorite) and feels like its good quality but when worn as intended (off the shoulder), it sort of feels like a strait-jacket. It’s more comfortable with the drapey neck but unfortunately the ribbing gives away that it’s not styled correctly. Sad to return this one.
This cardigan is super cozy and a good price but the quality is not awesome (it looks like it’s starting to fray a little) and just hits my leg in a weird place. If I were a little taller, I would maybe keep it to travel in and as a fall layering piece but it’s just not right for me.
This was my other camel coat option. I love how casual this Topshop coat is but unfortunately, it was a little big and has no lining making it very itchy.
How do you like the Hinge booties? They were already out of my size when I went to order but still have my eyes on them…
