I just got back from a long trip to the Netherlands. Managed to try on the rest of my NAS stash in my jet-lagged state. I had an unexpectedly excellent NAS!

I was well behaved, and did not give in to my gung-ho-pattern-gene.

Jeans were on my "do not buy" list, but these are dressy and like trouser jeans, so I kept them. And trouser jeans ARE on my shopping list.

  • #1 to #3 - I got before I left and shared with you already. Footwear is amazing. The tee I wore right away for my long flights. Polished and pretty. Great fabric. Tailored. See pics.
  • #4 - Coach bag is absolutely STUNNING. Impeccable and chic. Reviews say it's bulky as a crossbody, but I beg to differ. A very rich cream.
  • #5 - FC Popcorn Pullover is CREAM, not white, and works beautifully with the other cream items. Avant-garde, and very fluid. Looks like a COS piece.
  • #6 - Cinq a Sept pants - perfect fit, substantial fabric, and very polished. Longer on me, and to my eye, looks better at the longer length. Especially with high shaft boots. Dressy!
  • #7 and #8 - Cashmere scarves that are a unique shorter length and texture. I like the way they tie. Gorgeous, and bought to create complements with existing wardrobe items. Personally, I find that complements make my Winter outfits look and feel pulled together. I highly recommend them.

Hugo BOSS window pane suit is in the air. I had the pants order cancelled three times, and the blazer is at a UPS location waiting to be collected tomorrow. It will probably go back because I REALLY want a suit. Pants suits are actually practical for my style as long as I wear them with comfy flat footwear.

I have a lot to do and catch up on between now and the end of the year, so although I am back on the forum, my participation is limited.

Thanks for looking. I might eventually post pics of the items if I can find the time. xo
