Nordstrom Rack and Macy's: fitting room reviews

A look at all the pretty things I didn't buy on a recent shopping trip ... 

 

Nordstrom Rack

This is my "meh" face

 
Fire Los Angeles dot buttondown, size L, about $20
     The fabric is very light, which I liked, but the fit was off - like many juniors' shirts, the sleeves were a little too slim for my taste, and the buttons across the chest gapped when I moved my arms (which just about never happens).

Love Fire navy and seafoam dress, size XS, $25
      Cute colors, great fit, awesome little back detail that accommodates a regular bra, but I don't need another weekend dress.

     

Suzi Chin Maggy Boutique silk dress, 0P, $55

     This is such a pretty, vivid grape purple (I firmly believe you can never own too much purple), and the pintucking detail adds a little interest. I didn't care for the button at the neckline but I would have worn it unbuttoned anyhow. Right now I'm not looking to spend that much on a dress, no matter how pretty, so pass.

Macy's

       I took a good look through the sales racks and decided to try on two INC peplum tops. The one below is a soft, sweater-like knit. The color is pretty, but I don't find the peplum flattering at all. It's Hip City!

    The second peplum top was made of a more structured, very stretchy fabric. A little better, but still not a fan.

INC sleeveless lace V-neck shell, XS, about $20

   Would be cute for date night, but very fitted - I would have preferred a size up. I passed due to the size issue.


Tommy Hilfiger printed dress, $31
     I don't own anything dotted, and this was cute. I liked how the cowl neckline added a little asymmetry without being gapingly huge, unlike most cowl necks. It would have made a great dress for work.

   If you're one of the lucky folks who gets to enjoy a three-day weekend in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, have a great weekend! :)
