Nordstrom is having an amazing sale right now. This skirt was $26. Normally $88. Leather jackets for $40. Shrugs for $17. Unless I am greatly deceived, these things are returnable if they don't fit. (If it turns out that I'm an idiot, please don't hold me to that.) Which is the only way I will buy something without trying it on first. Or holding a measuring tape to my hips. Which I will never, ever do - I like my delusions, thank you very much.
