Sorry I'm late getting back in the thread to comment. Thanks to all of you for taking time to comment and give feedback. Overall it was positive - nice functional pieces and the Zara footwear seems like a good bet! I'll keep you posted.
Lisa p and cardiff girl, thanks for the encouragement! haha I do think the animal print would be a good addition to my footwear lineup this year.
Joy, the utility jacket is already a go to piece! I've worn it twice already. The great thing about it is the length is bum-covering enough that I can wear it with slim bottoms and tunic tops.
Kate, thanks! Knowing your experience with Zara booties definitely helps.
Jane, thank you!
RobinF, I'm keeping them all! LOL I recently reviewed my fall and winter items and I was sorely lacking in the topper department. It doesn't get that cold here and I need layers, so these are all perfect in their own ways. Different cuts and colors, so hopefully I've now got a topper for any silhouette I'll be rocking this fall! And YESSSS to the swingy tees. I can't do form fitted ones anymore!
Bijou, you hit the nail on the head. I want polished but casual. That is my style! Glad you think they'll work.
Angie, thanks for chiming in! Glad you like the parka I do, too. I think it's my favorite of the 3 jackets. The booties say they're leather, though I'm not sure how much give they have because of the print. I may give them a go. Thanks for your comments!
kkards, glad I could serve! Haha I am liking the camo all of a sudden, not sure why, but it struck me this time so I got it.
