Love that belted blazer.
I really liked the first dress, until I saw the back. How wants a partial zipper coming up from the bottom on a work dress???
Where can I find good quality cashmere sweaters, preferably long-sleeved V-neck or crew neck? I’m 5′-7″, 118 pounds, small bust, long arms. I have had a hard time finding sweaters that have some thickness to them, don’t pill, and that work with my skinny frame.
You are like Rosa, b/c she is 5″7″ and 115 pound’s (I am NOT sure about her arm’s) and she LOVES Nordstrom’s cashemere sweater’s! I would look FIRST at their website and then if you like it, go to White Plains where there is a store to try on the sweater’s! HAPPY Thanks giving to the ENTIRE HIVE!!!!! YAY!!!!
Kat, it looks to me like Nordstrom may no longer be carrying Classiques Entier in plus sizes. Could you check with Nordstrom and see what’s going on? I would be so distraught if they had cancelled that line, as it was one of my few go-to sources for high quality plus size work clothes.
