I SO enjoy reading your and Sveta's account of your NAS adventure, thanks so much for letting us share in the fun and excitement, Suz! And my word, you two make the perfect shopping duo, LOVE it!!
After reading your vivid descriptions, I had no trouble whatsoever picturing that Nordies change room (LOL about cleaning up after yourselves:-) with tons of boxes, lots of photo taking, and SA's running to and fro.
I think you made very wise decisions, Suz, and I know that's not easy while surrounded by so many goodies. But knowing what works well for your lifestyle, and having identified any wardrobe holes and wardrobe workhorses beforehand, definitely makes the decision making easier.
I love the Tahari Minka jacket on you, but agree that it's probably not going to be versatile enough if you can only wear it with skirts.
I also think the Mural bomber jacket looks smashing on you, but understand the issue with the pleather. I think it was very hot on Saturday? I wonder if that influenced how you felt about it. I'm also not crazy about pleather on very warm days, but can handle it well on cooler days.
Couldn't agree more with Sveta's suggestion to keep the DVF and continue to look for something similar to the Theory jumper.
I'm very much looking forward to hearing everything about the "hits", and even more to the coming months when we'll get to see how you are going to wear your new pieces. Have a great week, Suz!
