Thanks for all the comments ladies! Fun to hear that these items resonate for my style with you all. Once I get all my boxes and decide what, if anything, else I'm keeping I'll take a few photos with the items on. So far I only know I'll also be keeping the Zella capris ^^
JJ, yep definitely planning to wear the fair isle with the white pants!
Laura and Jenny, how fun that you both also bought the boucle jacket! I have the lighter colorway coming in the mail, but am currently leaning towards keeping the darker version.
Una, I am trying my best to be pickier! It's especially tough at the moment since I have a LOT of holes as I'm rebuilding my wardrobe for a smaller size. I don't know that it's me being patient, but more that having a limited budget is forcing me to really consider everything that I take home.
Joy, the tights are pretty fun right? I have been slowly collecting textured nude hose over the last few years and have a nice little stash now ^^
Janet, I would say that the fair isle sweater runs small, definitely a shrunken style. I am usually an XS (or sized out), and I went with a S for a fitted look (the XS was very snug). I could easily have gone up to a M for more ease, but I really liked the fit especially with the white high-waisted pants. So I'd say one size up for a fitted fit and two for more ease. The knit is thick so it wouldn't "drape" exactly, but with the big welted hem if it's not pulled down all the way you get a fun little blousson effect.
Angie, it was grueling! I was a bit surprised that I ended up with three different sizes across the bras, and that the Simon Perle were the smallest sizes of the bunch. The bottom bands on all of them feel good, the tops all feel a little snug -- my ribcage certainly follows my IT shape! I'm hoping that they ease up a little along the tops as the SA said they will. Re the boots, I'm surprised to hear that the Glastonburys are daintier looking than the Bramhalls! The soles look so much thicker which makes things feel heavy to me. I will continue to think on those!
Kari, the button on the boucle jacket wasn't in a good spot for you? I tried mine buttoned up but didn't like how it looked; I plan to exclusively wear mine open.
Svetlana, the white pants are probably not quite what you are looking for as they are a bit sheer -- sheer enough that the side seams almost look like a shadow tuxedo stripe, though they look fine with nude undies. I don't mind a little sheerness, but I know I'm in the minority on that. They're also rather lightweight, more of a spring/fall pant; I'm hoping to wear them in winter on milder days with nude hose. The calves are quite slim, and they are full length on me (so probably ankle-bordering-cropped length on you).
