Michelle, the Lily dress is available in 1X again! You should get it while it's still available!

I did buy the Jag jeans, but the zipper was broken so they're sending me a different pair. I am sort of obsessed with nice jeans right now. I've tried to wear dresses but I always feel like they make me look even bigger. It's probably all in my head.

Did you order the Beckie boot yet? I'm thinking about it for myself too, except I'm really annoyed that with the increase in foot size, the calf size skyrockets too. For a size 12 I believe the calf is around 19 inches... that's a bit large for me. Not sure if I should give it a try or not.

This thread is amazing!!!!!! I don't know what else to say.

It really is great... I feel so lucky!!
Mariana, I probably will order the Lily dress. Stil debating on the jacket.
Give the Beckie boots a try! You can always take them to a cobbler to have the calf reduced if it's too big. I've done it before and it works well. Alternatively, maybe you could try the 11WW instead of the 12W to lose a little calf width? To answer your question I ahven't ordered them yet, but plan to next week.

Michelle, I think the Lilly wrap is stunning and different and I am dying to see it on you! But the Suzi Chin dress is a slam dunk easy fit. Can you order both and return one?

Hmmm. I also think the denim jacket will be stunning, but we could try and find you a cheaper one that’s more simple.

Marianna, you just got challenged to sport a frock :0). Off you go madame. I want to see gorgeous you in frocks!

Wow, this thread does give me some warm fuzzy feelings. Enjoy your gorgeous new goodies Michelle!

I just never stop with the questions, do I? I really hope it's not obnoxious!!
Could someone please describe the pattern on the Susie Chin dress Angie is advocating?

The colour listed is cobalt, and it just mentions a floral pattern... Are there other colours involved? And would this look sufficiently different from my NAS cobalt dress? Oh, and are the sleeves long?

Angie, I get the feeling you think I could do better with the denim jacket. I will hunt around here in Toronto, but may I sheepishly ask that you keep your eyes peeled too? I don't mean any special effort here... Only if something really jumps out at you.
Cannot thank you all enough!

The Suzi Chin dress has an abstract pattern that consists of four colors: cobalt, brown, cream, and black. It is an all-over pattern and completely different from your cobalt dress. I wouldn't call it a floral print. The sleeves are 3/4 length (end a little lower than the elbow). I'm personally biased towards the Lily dress, but I guess fit is most important.

Actually Michelle, I think the denim jacket is KILLER. But I thought I’d help you save pennies and prep for a proper Canadian Winter which means you need coats, knitwear and boots!
