My first NAS shipment arrived today. I ordered thee pairs of shoes and a pile of bras and undies, but I'm only giving a shoe review here. I was surprised that I liked all the shoes. Please excuse my legs in the photos --- I was fortunate to get to the gym this evening and was wearing workout crops in the photos.

#1: PG Jojo loafers. These are kind of nostalgic for me, as the first pair of PG shoes I bought were loafers back in the late 90's. They were the most expensive shoes I'd ever had then, but they were fabulous. They were so comfortable and I received so many compliments on them. Anyway, I digress... I bought the loafers in the grey gunmetal in my usual size (6.5, or 4 UK). I have large volume feet, mainly because of high arches. I first tried on the loafers without socks and they seems quite loose, but once I started walking around on the carpet with them they felt fine. I'm thinking it's just my foot "filling them out" while walking and putting weight on them. ?? I really like them (especially the chunky but light grippy sole -- great for Midwest winters), but need to see what I have to wear with them before I decide to keep them.

#2: Aquatalia Verona booties. LOVE these. I got these in black in my usual size 6.5. They are sleek, soft and comfortable, and smell so good. I already have a few pairs of fairly similar booties though, so I'm not sure I can justify keeping them.

#3: Cole Hann Zero Grand sneakers: I really thought I'd take one look at these and return them, but these shoes surprised me. They are amazingly comfortable. I bought a pair of Nike Free trainers during last year's NAS that look similar (but in grey), and hate them as they don't have any arch support and are uncomfortable to walk in. These Cole Haan sneakers, however, do seem to provide some arch support. An unexpected possible keeper!

I have a Trina Turk Military jacket arriving tomorrow. I ordered two sizes yesterday when the petite sizes came back in stock. It was odd as when I ordered it said the jackets were backordered and wouldn't ship until August, but this size (P6, which I"m expecting to be too large) shipping within hours of placing the order. The other size (P4) shipped today, but won't be here until next week.
