The first couple orders have arrived and I did the big try on, with no shower or make up so things had to be really good to overcome that!

First the items that were easy no's:
Halogen drape front jacket in navy/black pattern. I liked the idea of the color better than I liked the jacket; it was ok but not special.

The zip pencil skirt was quickly eliminated because I didn't like the feel of the fabric at all.

The Gentle Souls sneakers were a bust for me. A bit too narrow in the toes for my widish foot yet big around the ankle. And I want something a bit more polished as that will be more versatile.

The plaid shirt was a bit of a wildcard and confirmed why I don't wear plaid or many button front shirts! It was ok but too shapeless.

The Caslon sweater seemed like a fun casual piece and the 'bramble' color looked interesting. It's very lightweight which is nice for our fall but the flecks made it look a bit cheap to me.

I really wanted to like the floral skirt as it fit well (with hemming) and i like patterned skirts. But again I wasn't thrilled with the feel of the fabric.

I ordered 2 sizes in the Emerson jeans and they were still too big. But trying them reminded me of why I stopped wearing BF jeans so a good lesson!

There are definitely some potential keepers too but I will post those separately.
