NAS orders arrived earlier this week but I've been too busy to post. I relied on early evaluations and I've done pretty well. I also bought two pairs of shorts for DH, who hates to buy clothes. And some bras--Chantelle which I buy nearly every year.

#1 Ecco Soft 7 on sale but not NAS. Love the color, didn't like the NAS colors for me. Very comfy and useful. Size 42 are a bit big, but 41's are a bit small. Socks help.

#2 Munro Randie slip on sneaker in gray with snake trim. 10 1/2. Not as nice as the Lulu sneakers from the last 2 years, but the color will work well.

#3 Blondo sneakers. As with most who've tried these, they were uncomfortable at first. Then I added my paddings and wore them around the house. The longer I had them on the better they felt. They will be fun for winter if they are really waterproof. Do run large, but with pads and heavier socks they will be fine. My left foot is wider through the metatarsal and I don't think a smaller size would work anyway. No idea what I will wear these with.

When I was walking around the house in them I had a strange moment. "This is the way it used to feel!" Yep, the added height boosts me up to where I used to be before serious shrinkage affected my spine.

#4 Interruption. Brush me please--my fur grows faster than you take it off!

#5 & 6 Vince Camuto houndstooth ponte jacket. Lightweight, fits well, and I will use it a lot here in the SF Bay area. I won't wear it with baggy white jeans, I promise.

##7, 8 Windowpane jacket that so many of you have. Trying with red BR dress (wrinkled) just bought on sale. I couldn't get a good photo of it. You can also see my foot problems.
