K/R-trench, jeans, blouses, sweaters

Here are the items that arrived today. A couple are definite misses. A couple are definite keepers that I'm happier with than I imagined.

1&2. This suede jacket is divine! I love the fit, the softness of the suede, everything about it!

3&4 are the orange blouse and jeans. I wouldn't wear the blouse with the jeans, I'd wear it with the skirt shown in 3, but it shows the jeans better than any other shirts I have. I love the blouse. Don't love the jeans. Should I size down? Or try a different pair?

5,6&7. I didn't even take the London fog trench I ordered out of the bag once I put this on. It has a removable wool liner, y'all! I had no idea.

8- button up. No. I don't think I'll even size up because I don't like the drape or lack thereof.

9- I love how this feels and the idea of it. Worth sizing down?

10&11- I expected to not like this, based on last yeR's similar style. I do like it though. It feels a bit big. It's boucle like and squishy and nice. Keep? Size down?

Thanks for looking!

I love both jackets, the rust top and the trench. They look like they were made for you.
I am no help on the jeans.
I'm not crazy about the white button up either or the over sized cardigan. It looks like you'd have to go down a couple sizes for it even to come close to working.

The oversized cardigan made it into the returns pile. I'll look for it in store when I take my returns in and see if it's workable sized way down. I like the textures and colors in it. It speaks to that part of me that likes to dress a bit like a highschool art teacher.

1 & 10/11 are keepers love the fit of both.

not liking 3/4 but i might have a poison eye

Really liking the suede moto jacket on you... It looks really cropped on the model but I like the length of it on you much better...may have to check that one out.

Thank you Ledonna and AM for the honest feedback. It's always a process to work through how it feels, then how it looks to me, then how it looks in pictures, then how it looks to all of you, then full circle back to how it feels. I appreciate the help.

Traci, holy wow. These are great on you! The suede jacket is everything you want a moto to be and more. Love the orange blouse; such a pretty silhouette on you. ADORE the Michael Kors; you've got me asking myself don't I need a new raincoat?

The big check oversized really reads like too too much to me -- not just the size but the scale. But if you love, for sure, why not take a look?

Caslon moto sweater -- It seems as if a petite would be better for you. But it never hurts to try another size if you like something. (Or at least, let me amend that. It doesn't hurt YOU with free delivery and returns. Me, it hurts like crazy because I have to get it right or pay for the privilege of getting it wrong.)

Agree with you about the shirt.

You did SO well, Traci. That suede jacket is sublime, isn't it! And in the juniors dept to boot. It's a top pick. LOVE the trench coat too - another top pick. Killer x2. Did you keep the tan one from a few months ago?

Twist front top looks gorgeous with the skirt. Very clever of you.

I am a bit confused with thw numbering.
I love the first photo, everything works there, the jacket, skirt and top.
The trench is a keeper.
The jeans are ok. Neither here or there for me.
I have no love for the button down.
The oversized cardigan is too big, I would like it if you can find it in petite porportions.
The last cardigan seems like a gopd fit to me.

Thanks, Beth. I'm only 5'2" so I often look for jackets that look cropped on the model so they don't hit below my hip. I would definitely try this one. It feels SO nice!

Thanks, Suz! I'll have to check if the gray sweater comes in petite. I tried to order petites where I could. You're probably right about the oversized cardigan. If they have it in store to try on I'll give it a go, if not I'll let it go:)

Angie, I kept the trench from a bit back, with tags on and receipt and box handy to return. The more I look at it and pictures of me in it I recognize that it is a classic style that I love, but classic doesn't feel like me. I love this burgundy trench so much I'm going to return the one I bought earlier and cancel or return the other two trenches with my NAS orders.

Traci

Veteran

Celia, thank you. I agree with everything you said. I think I made the numbering confusing because I kept on many of the same pieces in many of the outfits even though in one pic I was focusing on jeans and another on the jacket. I was fogged with excitement as soon as I touched the suede.

YES. The burgundy trench is a beautiful colour on you, Traci. And what a phenomenal fit. SCORE.

Love the suede jacket, drapey twist top, and trench coat on you. Maybe we'll be trench twins! You look so good in earth/warm tones.

Thank you, KL! I laughed at my shopping cart because it looked like a thanksgiving cornucopia! I lucked out.

Love the Lush twist top on you. Great style and fit. I'm having trouble seeing the others on my small screen so can't comment.

You did great! Love the suede moto and MK trench on you! And the orange blouse with the skirt is brilliant.

I love the jacket and the trench on you. Perhaps size down in the jeans. I wouldn't size down in the blouse. When light colored items like that are closely fitted, there's more show through.

Traci

Veteran

Thanks, Amy. I think I'm going to try to find jeans in store to try on tomorrow when I do returns. There are so many online I'm overwhelmed.

I love the suede jacket and the trench coat. Great colours on you.

Looking through your photos before I read the post, I liked everything except the oversized cardigan on you. Including the button-up blouse, which I think looks good. But photos don't tell the whole story, do they? I don't know whether the cardigan would work better in a smaller size; it swallows you up so much in this size, it's hard to tell. But if you love the feel of it, it's worth a try.
The jeans may be worth trying a size down. I've had the Diana style in corduroys and loved them--I've bought them a few different years--but I tried on the Diana jeans once and didn't like them at all. Pretty odd, huh?
I'm so excited for you, that you found so many winners!

Some really nice items - esp. the jacket and trench! I think you've made great decisions on what to keep/return/try in another size.

Anna

Love 1 and 3 on you. So flattering and great colors. The top looks really good with that color of jeans but I agree you need to size down.

Anonymous

I'll be the outlier and say that I really like the tan cardigan. It would look so great with light clothes on underneath. But you'd have to find a better size.

Love the suede jacket.
Love the skirt.
Jeans, I'm with you on those. I think you could find something better.
White shirt, I'm with you on that.
Trench - So, so awesome on you! Beautiful colour and fit.
The t-shirt and grey top are both good.

Smittie, my husband really liked the oversized cardi too, so it's definitely still in the mix. I think it could be cute over a column of cream or pale denims?

Questions about the twist top (which looks gorgeous on you). Size: True to size? Runs big? Small? How about the neckline (which I'm having trouble seeing in the photo). Revealing or modest?

Anonymous

YES!

Traci

Greenjeans, I think it runs true to size, or a little generous. This is my first time shopping since losing a bit of weight, so everything is seeming generously sized to me and I'm wondering if that's my perception not catching up to my reality yet, or if things are really big this season.

In the front middle it dips down right to the edge of my bra. I may wear a matching cami under it so I don't have to futz so much, and it's probably futzy enough that I wouldn't wear it to work where I'd be mortified if I had a conversation with the edge of my bra showing. It's possible it could be pinned to bra straps to hold it in place.

I am especially fond of the tan suede jacket and rust twist front top. You look very good and so stylish in these.
