Let’s Shop! Nordstrom Dressing Room Reviews

Last week, I had a chance to pop into Nordstrom and try a few things on. As promised, I’ve got some reviews for you, live from the dressing room at Nordstrom. So grab a cup of coffee, get comfy on the couch, and let’s go shopping!

On the hunt for a comfortable pair of everyday shoes, I tried on a few hot sellers, from Paul Green.

I love the ‘Cayenne‘ peep toe spring bootie.

I’ve heard great reviews from readers, and my sales guy at Nordies claims it his #1 selling shoe!

Comfortable and super flattering, especially in the cognac color (and I love the pewter, above, on my friend Michelle).  If I had an unlimited shoe budget, I would own this shoe in at least 2 colors, but for me, this shoe is too similar to my Vince Camuto ‘Evel’ sandal (HERE),

so I asked for the ‘Winston’ mule.

This is one FABULOUS shoe!

If you are in the market for a mule, this pair is soo comfortable (and many are not).

I love a mule with crop pants.

BTW, rolled up flares,as above, are NOT a new trend.

I was ready to take ‘Winston’ home with me, until I tried on ‘Hana’.

Tough call, as I loved all 3 of these shoes – for different reasons.

Like any smart shopper, I dialed up a friend for a 2nd opinion, and after much deliberation, ‘Hana’ came home with me.

I had a chance to wear my new kicks yesterday,

with this DIY chambray jumpsuit look. I was inspired to try this look, after seeing a similar look on one of my fave style bloggers,

Ann Krembs of Kremb de la Kremb, HERE.

(check out her style blog, I love Ann’s easy, everyday style, and flair!)

Before we more onto denim, I have a few other fab sandals to share!

Remember the Vince Camuto ‘Lavette’, featured in this Ask Suzanne Bell shoe post, HERE?

Priced $119.95, I’m loving this taupe color (Cashmere), on my other Michelle!

Looking for the perfect pair, to stroll around Europe this summer?

Eileen Fisher ‘Sport’ Platform sandal, available in 5 colors!

After shoes, I hit the denim department – to try on a few cropped flare jeans.

AG ‘Jodi crop’.

High-rise slim flare crop. Ran true to size. Note, the flare on the Jodi, is a barely-there-flare.

Rag and Bone High Rise Crop Flare

EEK! This pair looked so scary on me, but I wanted to share, so you can see for yourself. WAAAY to see thru, tight on the knees, and BRIGHT white – didn’t work for me at all. A pass.

I think the ‘Cropped Straight’ from Current Elliot or ‘The Kick‘ might be a better fit and not so see thru, if this jean doesn’t work for you either.

Hudson ‘Mia’ Crop Flare, Carve Wash.

These are a weird length (too long), and the hem is cut uneven – not in a good way.

But since I liked everything else about the ‘Mia’, I purchased the same cut in a darker wash (not available online), and had alterations hem them (below).

I think this jean needs to be the right length – showing off some leg and shoe, in order to be flattering. I had the length hemmed to right below my calf (about an inch shorter than here). I will be picking them up next week, so stay tuned.

So Ladies, I have much more to share – blazers and fun tops, but I’m out of time for today. Pop back on Wednesday, for Part #2 of my Nordstrom Reviews. I’ll be sure to share my newly altered jeans as well, so you can see if these are for you, or not.

And, a very Happy Mother’s Day wish to all the Mom’s out there, who work so hard everyday, for everyone – I hope you carve a little time out for yourself this weekend – you deserve it!

Have a fabulous weekend and thanks for stopping by!

XOXO

Suzanne
