Happy New Year!
This is actually "shopping" but I'm calling it "Inspiration" because it is part of my learning curve about what works, what not to get caught up in, and "the courage to return".
Was risky to be shopping at same time need more culling, but there you go. I've had to put aside some skirts and pants due to fit issues. AT skirts (and some Talbots) are still my best fits and yet each skirt is a little different and needs to be tried to see if it's got the perfect fit, so I do check what's new in fabrics and colors .

Also, it's not one "haul," but due to AT shipping issues, I sometimes hold on to something a week or so and get a new order and send back together, plus I have the new problem of no B&M AT and no ability to check out sizes, so I have been ordering R and P or 2 sizes or sometimes both.
#1 and 2-3: when working on "cocktail capsule" I tried this bracelet due to good reviews and maybe fitting narrow wrist. I think it is fun, but turns out to be "too much" for my arm. I would need narrower amount of sparkle. The clutch I was waffling about and have targeted for return. I got the black as a versatile clutch. I really like its roominess--holds all my stuff and still looks not stuffed. But it doesn't wow me. Those who like cobalt and red might do better since those can be hard to find. I was looking for a red evening clutch, but would prefer a deeper, cooler color. Still I wonder if I should try it in this red.
#4: I have tried this ponte top in 3 colors and 4 sizes, hoping to get a hit. It's the type of "structured knit" with some waist taper and then hip-skimming fit that could look very refined if it would just fit me. Sort of like a peplum but without the issues of poof and precise waistline location. Great neckline. Arms are tight, shoulders are wide. Petite M is closest and still looks not quite right in shoulder area. . Was sold out in the burgundy. The new dot print is fabulous--a dark gray with a black dot. If fit I would hem the sleeves just a bit. Arrgghh.
#5 Dress--loved the photo so tried even though black. Soooo close--the style is perfect but the fit is off. Petite is best;there is enough length. So slim-fitting through bodice but again, with a wide shoulder and upper chest so not sure can size up (4P too tight). Arms tight. I am not the AT target for dresses! Struggling with whether to try another size, but probably no go.
#6. The winner ! Love this skirt. Tried 2 sizes but my usual size fit. Fits more skimming than a couple of skirts that are no bueno now. Not wool, but a substantial fabric. Goes with lots of tops. Dark navy, looks almost black (good for me), and in winter I think I can wear black tights; could try gray (ink of course if find a close match). Has that trans-seasonal potential. Will do some tryons.

Anyway, this might help someone else!
