You know you do!
So after the unbelievable help I received from Angie and Inga, who devoted goodness knows how much time to identifying potential items for me, I'm down to finalizing my choices. Thank you once again, ladies, for all your help and work. I really hope it wasn't too onerus! Thanks too to everyone else who chimed in on the earlier thread. Your thoughts are just as welcome here, obviously!
Ok, here's what I'm starting to think:
I'm probably going to have to get that leather moto jacket, in brown as Angie suggested:

I'm also slowly pining for that blackberry trench, but I want to verify something before I commit.

How versatile is it colour-wise? I mean, are there any
colours it would clash dreadfully with in tterms of my outfits? What's the styling of the coat? Does it reveal a lot of your shirt? I just want to know
so I never wear it with a top or pants of the wrong colour. I'm also wondering how poorly it would go with burgundy if I get these boots I want. Not too
fussed if it doesn't work, as the burgundy boots are more for winter, but wanted to check.
I'm loving the idea of the cobalt dress, may have to get it unless people think it's not totally special:

I may pass on NAS jeans altogether, as returning things from Canada is expensive and a hassle. I may as well focus on finding something here, or shop Jags/David Kahns when I'm in New Jersey for guide dog training in September. As we all know, jean fitting is rarely accomplished overnight.
Cardigan: Thinking about the purple one that Angie posted, but could use some info on what sort of purple it is (plum, bright etc):

I need help narrowing down tops. I'm likely going to go for this sweet pea in pink multi:

I'm also liking the looks of these three:
Michael Kors blouse:

Second sweet pea:

Pullover in Sangria: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....0&P=1
If I had to get just two of these four, which ones would you suggest?
Scarf: There's a consensus developing that I should get this plaid one.

It's a winter fabric... Would it look good with the grey coat I foresee myself getting, and if so which colour should I get (store colour names like "almond butter" are less than helpful). If someone could take another crack at describing the pattern and colours in this, I'd also appreciate it.
Pants: the only ones that could potentially work are these, but I may pass unless someone thinks they're truly amazing. I was looking for more of a microcheck:

In the interest of my budget, I'll probably shop consignment or Ebay for handbags.
We're almost there, ladies! Thanks for your infinite patience.
