So in the two to twenty-one day eta four days it was! They knew who I was when I walked in, I got excellent service and when I tried them on they asked if I didn't want the smaller size after trying the 10. Absolutely no pressure to get them or the smaller size and of course my deposit would be refunded. Funnily enough they had dropped another ten dollars in the meantime... Got them but sizing issue is a question.

While there...egads...I took another look at the necklace i noticed on a shopper last time I was there and decided against. Still thought it was too much for me but the SA picked out another one for me. Dithering about it but it is lovely and subtle while still having impact. Seems to hit the spot, why do I question it?

I also picked up another pair of gloves. They are these but in a red.

While I really want a nice pair of leather ones it seems that the wool fits me much better. The buttons on these are hidden by my coat and don't interfere with the cuff which is lovely. I would have paid full price on these but also got them on sale. They are warm, comfy, can be handwashed and add a bit of zip to the otherwise boring black.

Great shopping trip! I am on the ebb and flow style wise at the moment and think no matter the result this will be an awesome progression. Thanks to ylf for opening my eyes so much. While the deciding factor did not depend on the sale prices of the items at all it is a lovely bonus. I have been looking for pants all winter, have wanted to update my jewellery since joining ylf and always need gloves.

Thank you Angie and ladies.
