Nordstrom Shopping {Fire Chiffon Tunic}


I was going to wear this outfit to the Marc Cohn concert tonight, but sadly found out yesterday that it was cancelled. So, I wore it anyway today for a couple hours at the office, getting my hair highlighted (which I changed from highlighting to all over color in my natural color (dark!) ), and a little shopping.

I wasn't planning on wearing the tunic and scarf together, but I had them both in my hand when a Nordstrom SA walked up to me wearing them. I liked the look, so here it is! She also showed me these great BP tanks that are very long in length... perfect for leggings. The tunic is sheer and definitely needs a layer underneath.

Fire Square Neck Chiffon Tunic in Grey , BP Tunic Tank in Olivine, Rubbish Infinity Scarf in Twine, Mossimo Ponte Leggings in Black, Banana Republic Reade Moto Boot in Black

In the afternoon it was bright and sunny and pretty warm, so I took off the scarf. Here you can also see the results of my time spent with the colorist. At school pick up, other moms noticed right away, but not one of my children said a word. When I asked them (at separate times) if anything was different about my hair, all three said "It's straight.". But really, it is a big difference!

The hems really aren't so uneven. I think it's just a combination of the way I've pulled down the tank and how I'm standing.

  1. I like those two pieces together. I would also say your hair is very straight. *lol* I didn't notice the color so much. Love that the moms picked up right away.

  3. I can totally notice the hair color difference! I love it!!!! The lighter color was very pretty but the dark looks rich and warm. So perfect for the fall/winter.

    Cute print on the tunic!

  4. Gigi, Peggy & Pamela - thank you! When my husband came home he said "nice haircut!" ...I did NOT get it cut lol!! My daughter did say that it is mostly darker on top... which I guess since the kids are much shorter than I am would be not as likely for them to see right away ;)

  10. Dear Sparrows & Sparkles,
    that is a bright idea to combine the scarf (volume) with the fine texture of the dress! Both is added by the "bracket" of the boots - beautiful! And your hair too! Britta

  12. The tunic is "juniors" and the small says sizes 1-3. I'm not sure what size to order. Did you order your regular clothing size, or did you go a size up?

  13. Rose - thanks!
    Jenny726 - I am not a size 1-3 in tops - more of a 4-6 - but I didn't size up - bought a small which is what I normally buy in tops at Loft, J Crew etc. It is very roomy and flowy everywhere except the band of fabric at the very top of the chest - that fits me just exactly. Hope this helps!
