Okay, let’s talk about my little adventure trying to find something specific at Neiman Marcus, and stumbling upon Linda Ferrone’s stuff.
So, I remember needing an outfit, something special for this dinner party I had coming up. You know how it is, you want to look sharp. I decided Neiman Marcus was probably the best bet to find something unique, maybe a bit upscale. I set aside an afternoon, got myself ready, and headed over to the store.
I walked in, took the escalator up to the women’s designer floors. It’s always a bit overwhelming at first, so much to see. I started just browsing the racks, moving from one designer section to another. Didn’t have a specific brand in mind, just looking for something that caught my eye.
Then I got to this area, and some pieces stood out. They had this interesting texture, maybe some unique detailing, I can’t quite recall perfectly now. I pulled out a blouse, I think it was silk, really nice feel to it. Checked the tag, and that’s when I saw the name: Linda Ferrone. Honestly, I wasn’t super familiar with the name at the time.
I spent a bit of time looking through the few items they had from her. There was that blouse, maybe a skirt or two, and I think some jackets. The style felt sophisticated, but still kind of easy to wear, not too stiff or formal. I really examined the craftsmanship on one of the jackets. You could just tell it was made with care, the stitching, the lining, all looked top-notch. That’s the thing about Neiman’s, you often find quality like that.
I held up the blouse against me, looking in the mirror nearby. Liked the color, liked the cut. Then, naturally, I checked the price tag. Oof. Yeah, it was definitely designer pricing, as you’d expect there. Made me pause for a second, haha.
In the end, I didn’t actually buy the Linda Ferrone piece that day. I think I got distracted by something else, or maybe I just wasn’t ready to commit to that price point for that particular event. But it definitely registered. Seeing her designs there, feeling the quality, it put the name on my radar.
So that was my experience finding Linda Ferrone at Neiman Marcus. Didn’t end with a purchase that time, but it was part of the discovery process you get when shopping at a place like that. You go in looking for one thing, and you end up learning about or appreciating something new. Just filed that name away in my head for future reference.
