The fact that they back their products 100% for a lifetime and offer free shipping on $50+ with regular sales, makes shopping with them very appealing. Not to mention that they have really upped their game when it comes to the styles and prints they offer. <br /><br />Nordstrom just blows every other retailer out of the water hands down with their free shipping and free returns, price matching, 100% satisfaction guarantee, and superb customer service. Shopping with them is always worry free and pleasant.Melissa@AllThingsSimplifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076948687302539385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-16854955572893032282014-09-10T22:00:58.524-04:002014-09-10T22:00:58.524-04:00hi natalie-

I wear size 2 in jcrew schoolboys as well as most of the coats- some I can wear 0 but mostly size 2 is my size. jcrew sweater i am mostly in xs but with some oversized ones, i am getting xxs. toothpick, i am size 26 and 27. <br />Zara- it run smaller than jcrew. most of the zara size i have been getting are size small. Some coats I tried on, i could fit into xs as well so i have both xs and small in coats. pants, mostly small fits and number size pants, size 4 worked the best. Zara have weekly rollouts so i have been so excited to look online. They don't have sales very much so I don't feel bad buying full price. I hear they have an awesome sale after x-mas. HTH!

I'm not crazy about Boden floral/geometric prints, but that leopard trench is the cat's meow.

I'm a S/4 in JC tops and got the L(14) in this and the fit is great - I can snap it up all the way over a thinner sweater. The smaller quilting on the side gives it a nice shape, and I like the longer length in the back. The price is right, even more so if you can get an additional %, which LE does frequently.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.landsend.com/products/womens-34-sleeve-lofty-blend-cable-pullover-sweater/id_272885#" rel="nofollow">3/4 sleeve Lofty Blend Cable Pullover Sweater</a> - whoa, that's quite a handle! This is what I wished JC's too-boxy, too-short cable sweater (08873) was last winter. This one has a more open neckline and longer length. I chose the S so that I could layer. It's definitely not an Aran Crafts sweater - the weave is a little more open and I think it's more fall than dead of winter. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.landsend.com/products/womens-cotton-open-v-neck-cardigan-sweater/id_272892" rel="nofollow">Cotton Open V-Neck Cardigan Sweater</a> - Geez, what is it with these long names? Anyway, this is a heavy cotton sweater that I could wear now as a jacket and layer later. Got an XS and it is a perfect fit. Most open cardigans that I've seen this season have dropped shoulders (HATE) and this one does not, which is a much better look for me.
