I was beginning to question my purchase before it arrived. I had many needs, and this was not one of them. I had not made any other NAS purchases.However, I was looking forward to upping my style with this jacket as the incentive. Same mistake I made with sheath dresses last year.
I admit it, I get so excited to fit into non-plus sized clothing that I tend to make slightly off purchases. Note, yes,this is a size/head thing, but it is also the fact that my Nordstrom doesn't have an Encore department. It is so nice to see something, try it on, know it fits, and order it.

So, for the important information. I saw it in one color in store, and ordered it in the other. Here are the pros and the cons.

1. The fit is still fabulous on me. It fit perfectly, just like on the model.
2. On both my monitor and the SA's monitor, the jacket appears to be a fairly bright cobalt blue. IRL it is a heathered? navy. So not the statement color I wanted,
3, I don't know how I missed it in store, but I am VERY sensitive to wool and when I put it on at home my neck started itching in 2 seconds.
4. If you don't tend to be extremely sensitive to wool, it is about as soft and comfortable as can be and look this polished. It is knitted material, cut and sewn into a jacket.
5. The edges weren't finished, which makes me wonder how well they will last, given the material.
