Wow, wow, wow! Great choices! Suz, you really know your style and colors. The dress is phenomenal! It's a lot of dress, but it's so flattering and I love the eye flow it gives with the metallic sandals. Book ending with your silver and cream sandals will be fantastic, too! Will you wear tights later on?
The hoodie is super cute, too. You dress so well when you're at home. I should, but I have such a hard time investing in lounge clothes (well, I know you're working, not lounging!)
Did you end up buying the Nord. Signature periwinkle hoodie? I tried it on b/c the color is sublime, but I look so much better in a low neck. I think the color would be AMAZING on you!!
