This is how I spent the morning — trying on some of my wish list items. Sharing it here in case it will help someone else. Feel free to ask questions about sizes and I welcome your opinions. In many cases I tried two different sizes of the same item. Tried a lot of things and came home with two. There was more to see, but I ran out of time. I did have a quick look at the footwear (meh) and handbags (I will dream about the Veronica Beard bag) as well as jewelry (which I thought was much better this year).

1.Caslon mixed stitch polo sweater. I’m in a S.
Very nice piece and great color but it just didn’t grab me. Runs BIG.

2 and 3. Caslon stripe button shoulder long sleeve rib.

Red is a M. Blue is a S.
Went in wanting the blue but after trying it I prefer the red. It’s a substantial tee and rather long. I didn’t buy, but am still considering it.

4. Nic+Zoe textured stripe button cardigan. Size M.
Loved it right away. Then worried it was too cropped. Then decided it was fine. This one came home with me.


5 and 6. Vince Camuto cape sweater. Size S and M.
It doesn’t translate to the photos, but I felt overwhelmed by this sweater and did not feel fab at all. I had fully expected to love this one.

7. Nordstrom crop puff sleeve cotton button-up shirt. Size M.
I ordered this in white last night and didn’t know it came in blue. I like it, especially since it has short sleeves, but not as much as I expected to, and didn’t buy it. We’ll see how i like the white version when it arrives.

8. Caslon long sleeve drop hem button-up shirt. Size M.
I need a white blouse and this one came home with me. I’m in a M here and came close to getting the small instead. It runs big. It’s longer in the back with an interesting pleated detail you can see online.


9. Nic+Zoe long-sleeve cotton shirt. Size M.
This is so pretty, with a textured floral design and scalloped hem. I love the structure of the collar. I really liked this top and am still considering if it’s something I need and will wear.

They did not have the L’Agence Odelia Blue Lace Crop Button-Up Shirt I’ve been eyeing, which is just as well, since it’s not something I need. But, boy is it pretty.
