I'm going to be a bit more scarce than usual for the next few days due to family obligations, but I just wanted to let you know:

1. The wedding was lovely and I'll report about it soon - thank you for your good wishes and for all your help with my WTW questions.

2. I just picked up an online order across the border and have met with almost perfect success! And all of it is due to Angie's recommendations and YLF insider tips.

Things I got and plant to keep, thanks to your wisdom:

1. Gee Wa Wa cool tan/ taupe flat boots with pointy toes --- this was thanks to a tip from Parsley that they would work for narrower, shorter calves. They are an almost perfect bookend to my hair. I am not 100% sure how I will wear them yet, but at the ridiculously low price from Shoebacca, they are worth the experiment. I know for sure they will work with the new cream jeans. Parsley, if you read this, I will be hitting you up for suggestions as to how to deal with those back laces. I want to find a way to tuck them in.

2. Sam Edelman Okalas -- this was magic -- they had sold out in my size but I just happened to check again and one pair had been returned. They are perfection! Thank you, Angie, and all the other Fabbers who have raved about them. I kept thinking they are not for my climate, but then decided....I can wear them from about June through early October. So they're worth it. LOVE them.

3. Citizens of Humanity "Racer" skinnies. I have never had a pair of jeans from this company but they were on substantial discount at Nordstrom's so I decided to give them a try. They're a perfect, comfortable fit, not calf-sucking, cut really nicely, super soft and comfortable, substantial weight, not too stretchy. On my 5'4" self they are just the right length -- not a ton of scrunch but definitely full length.

4. Kut from the Kloth "Mia" skinnies in plaid. These were an Angie recommendation. They went on super sale but didn't have my size. Angie said not to order up because they're stretchy so they wouldn't work well as slouchy jeans. Then I saw them a size down from my normal and remembered how my Diana skinnies are a bit big on me, and thought I'd give these a try. They're a perfect skinny for tucking into boots -- soft, stretchy, yet substantial. They're a bit darker in person, alas, but still very nice.

5. Two Vince boatneck tees. These were a splurge, also on sale, however. I love the way this top looks on Vicki and Jeneva and I was thinking how useful something like this would be for me.

The one item I'm not sure about is the Theory Gabe 2 B jacket. Mr. Suz thinks it does not fit correctly across the back. Since I can't see it, it's tough for me to know. It looks good in front to my eye, but I will want your opinions. One point to note...it is a size down from the Lanai and seems to fit better....so perhaps I should still try the Lanai in a size down. Hmmm.

Just wanted to share! Will hope to be checking on more threads later!
