First let me say that I just had to rewrite this entire post because of some pop-up ad in the sidebar for Hublot that wouldn't close unless I signed up for a catalog. That is aggravating.

In any case, since saying I would buy nothing in June (because I'd been so uninspired the last two months), I have bought more than ever. Catching up with Suz?

The items:

1. Blue Helmut Lang sweatshirt. I have been stalking this in black but have so many black jackets. The blue did me in. Shown three ways. Surprisingly I like the t-neck best! Thought I couldn't wear it, but it actually hides and elongates my fat neck. Maybe the equivalent of surrendering the waist for the neck? Anyway, good size or size up? It's supercomfy and soft!

2. Ted Baker tee: Ordered the same shirt I returned in a different print. Less sweet, more acid in color. Still too, er, pretty?

3. Pleione sleeveless drape top: I returned the dotty long sleeve one which was just too big, and got this instead in XS? Still too big? Can I wear without a jacket? The Theory jacket seems to make everything look better.

4. These DV sneakers are going back. They are quite adorable but too narrow and shallow for my high volume feet. They were creasing the moment I put them on. For normal or low volume feet they are quite adorable, and I'm going to look for a Substitute.

All feedback welcome and thanks for putting up with me!
