I know many are ruffled-out at this point, and personally I do doubt I'll be getting any more ruffly blouses for Fall (Frances is excepted, of course). But the second I saw this jacket = love, love love! And then I scanned over to the description and saw that this little lovely is only $68! Whoa. Now I don't have anything from the brand Nick & Mo and am not familiar with it, so I do need to see it in person... but from the pic it looks like such a perfect dress-up/dress down little jacket that I soooo want to add it to my Fall wardrobe!

Okay, that was my favorite thing, but as long as we're looking at jackets - and since it is a cool 74 degrees in my house right now, down nearly 20 degrees from last week, I like this one too (shown over a turtleneck in the 2nd pic):

Saw this purple ruffle jacket in Nordstrom today, actually!! And, I think shopaholicdiva did a post on it, too:) It is indeed, lovely:) Ruffles in my opinion, were a little too big and too much for my taste, but it is pretty!! Love the last pic., of the belted jacket.
ReplyDeleteReally?! I'll have to look for her post! I guess I'll need to try it on to see if the ruffles feel too much for me or not - thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteCute jackets. I am not a fan of the elbow sleeve + ruffles. But I love the detail at the collar.
ReplyDeletethe burgundy blazer is SO pretty!
ReplyDeletebtw: what a lovely pic of your three children, in Paris, on your home page!! how did you manage to get this shot?? it's awesome!!! what kind of camera do you have?
ReplyDeleteI am looking at the nordies catalogue right now. LOVE the Burberry dress on page 47!
ReplyDeletechanel fashionista - YES! I noticed that too and almost mentioned it. Beautiful - A classic and not a bad price for Burberry.
ReplyDeletemrs.a - thanks! My camera is nothing fancy - a Panasonic DMC-FX33 from Costco. A couple weekends ago I got sand in it and now it only zooms 1x so I think I may be in the market for another soon... I used the burst mode and told them to jump off that step about five times. The camera just snap-snap-snapped and 2 or 3 of them turned out really great :)
That ruffle jacket caught my eye too. :)
ReplyDeleteThe ruffles on the first blazer are very sophisticated and not little girlish at all. I love ruffles, but looking like a little girl is a no no lol. Great coats for fall!
ReplyDeletexoxo H
I am so ready for Fall!
ReplyDeletei personally like the jacket in black. i thought i would like it in wine, but it looked like sweatshirt material with ruffles in the lighter color, but for 68 dollars, i guess i shouldn't complain. I bought it in black. i will try and post pictures this weekend
ReplyDeletePatina - I'm so interested to see your pics! I had no idea it came another color. Black might be really fun. Hopefully I can get into a Nordstrom this evening or tomorrow.
ReplyDeletei just returned both of mine. i can't fool myself. it's like a sweat shirt with ruffles. the material was terrible. the pics were horrible.
ReplyDeletePatina - oh no oh no oh no! I had such high hopes. I am still going to look.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking that I will have a fun Nordies catalog to look through when we get home tomorrow! Given Patina's info above (thanks, Patina!), maybe I'm looking at the 2nd jacket.
ReplyDeleteyes, let me know what you think of the jacket. BTW, i love the updated pics of you and your family on your blog. The first pics is too cute
ReplyDeleteI went to Nordstrom to take a look at the Nick & Mo jacket in person. In my store they also had a light heather oatmeal color with cream colored ruffles. It is sweatshirt material but I thought the cut was nice, and the material is heavy enough to keep its shape but still is stretchy and comfortable. I have been wanting a Mike & Chris hoodie for a while but could not justify the cost, and this Nick & Mo jacket (especially with the ruffles!) was a nice compromise for me. I bought the black one. The wine color was more purple in person, and the oatmeal one was more sweatshirtlike and was not there in my size.
ReplyDeleteI think if you're expecting that it is a more casual piece, then you may like it. I liked reading Patina's review, but I just wanted to say that it did work for me. The Nordstrom SA told me that it is sold out in Wine S in our area. My store had all sizes in black, S & M in oatmeal, and M-XL in wine.
Jeanne - thank you so much for the info and your review!!
ReplyDeleteDitto, Jeanne! I am way curious about the oatmeal heather color now!
