I just shopped online this year. My regular sales person moved on last year and though someone at the store emailed me to set up an appointment she never got back to me after I replied. The plus size selection is woeful in coats and oddly also in athleisure. It surprised me there was no Zella or Nike as in past years. So my goal of a long puffer was off the table.


I focused on known wants or needs. Here’s what’s coming my way. These were the only jeans that seemed at all remotely on trend in my size range and I’ll send one or both back if I don’t love them. The denim jacket would make a fun suit if it works and the matching jeans work. I work in tech so I thought it would be a different way to wear my company tees. I love brown so picked the most appealing of the four or so styles of brown slacks to try.

I’ve been wanting a pink sweater as my last one wore out. I’m a sucker for a white shirt so trying this in both misses xxl and plus 1x. And the wild card is this jump suit in one of my favorite colors.


I also got this watch for my mom, since she love bees, and the earrings for a friend who makes sparkling wine.

Since I figured I was saving on impulse purchases I splurged on expedited shipping so will have most of these here tomorrow for a try on. I’ll be picky and return things that aren’t perfect and practical! I’ll update here on the winners.
