Great everything! You were right to pounce , for your colors, and fit, and great fluid fabrics.

Wow, perfect, relaxed elegance, and you are a lady who knows her colors. You look stunning!

You glow in both. I love the neckline of the blue top.

Success! Both tops and the pants are definitely keepers! Beautiful colors, modern fits, terrific fabrics........ and so practical in your "real" life.

Well done! Can't wait to see more!

Thank you all so much. I am in love with these pants, I'll tell you. I think I am going to get a pair in navy, too. Or maybe the brighter blue.

Vicki, I ordered a small in the sweaters. I often wear an XS in J. Crew but decided to go a bit oversized here.

You really do glow in those colours & I love the fit of the pants on you - the roll looks modern & relaxed imo.

Yay we are sort of sweater twins (mine is blue)! I absolutely love everything you are wearing here. Just gorgeous. I really have nothing else to say!

A question on your comment that you don't often "shop between seasons" and I'm curious about how you look for these online finds. Was the cashmere sweater something you specifically searched for?

Good question, Vicki. I wasn't looking for the cashmere. I was looking for linen sweaters or tops for this season -- we are just moving into summer here. But I just happened to see the cashmere while I was on the website, and it was at a good price (especially for a Collection sweater), in one of my best colours, PLUS I had a gift card.

In February I got another oversized J. Crew collection cashmere sweater in a heavier gauge knit and I literally wore it almost every single day until mid-April. It was that cozy and wonderful. (I wore it as regular work at home wear AND as lounge wear.) So I knew that a lighter weight one in a good colour for me would be a real keeper.

I guess I'm always keeping in mind what items have been complete and utter workhorses for me from the get-go. When I find something like that, I am more likely to buy a similar item during the off-season, secure in the knowledge that it will definitely get worn.

These items seem true to your style. Classic, minimal and modern. The cuts provide the modern. For some reason, the Zara tops did not come off as modern on you, even though they had modern touches like asymmetry, paint splashes and high low hemlines.

Just beautiful Suz:) Particularly love these colours paired with the white. Great finds.

We are sweater twins, Suz. I have the linen pullover in the same colour and absolutely adore it. And my word, it looks so stunning on you. Relieved to hear you decided to keep it;-)
The blue cashmere pullover is beyond gorgeous on you too, so 100% your colour! And the style is amazing on you as well.
I'm happy to hear you are feeling happier in the tops departement.

Late to the party .... But wow! Those tops are just brilliant on you! Glad you found the right ones for you

Such beautiful colors!!

Thank you all -- happiness factor is sky high in these items!

Denise, you said: "These items seem true to your style. Classic, minimal and modern. The cuts provide the modern. For some reason, the Zara tops did not come off as modern on you, even though they had modern touches like asymmetry, paint splashes and high low hemlines."

Truer words never spoken. I wish I could understand why that is...and avoid the ordering mistakes! But it seems you are right. Simpler is better for me. Similar to Ornella in that way, I guess.

Lovely, lovely, lovely. The V neck suits you very much, maybe you should try them more often.

I love those colors on you. Great gops and the pants look nice and refreshing.

Just lovely

The colors here are stunning on you, but what really caught my eye first, was how well these shapes work on you. Perfection! I adore the tops and especially those trousers, this is your fit!

These colors are AMAZING on you!!! You really look great in the linen trousers as well. Well done!

Great tops, nice draping, colors really suit you.

These colors are so fresh to my eyes and they suit you exceptionally Suz! It's a bonus they are also a great quality and trendy fit! Love them all!
