Thanks for all our help sorting out my moto. We had good arguments for and against - I finally decided it's just not me. It's going back, but I'm getting a skirt and blouse instead. But I wanted to share the winners with you, as who else really understands the feeling of success at filling wardrobe holes? And getting a bargain, too! I'd never ordered from Eloquii before - they're the plus size arm of The Limited and I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of fit and quality.

So here were the keepers from my shopping. The purple shirt, leopard belt and faux leather cream colored jacket. I adore this jacket and it was both a bargain and a risk - a bargain at $27 and a risk as it was a final sale, no returns. Fortunately it's very nice and fits like a dream. I am going to try to train the collar to spread a bit more and/or lower the fold - the way it folds right now it's a bit tall for my neck.

I'm chuffed with the purple shirt as well - nice heavy fabric, and tailored well. The purple was marked down to $16. Score. I've ordered the version in white (less of a markdown there), hoping it will be my elusive opaque button down! Last pic is goofing off and trying the purple shirt tied over a sheath. Just for fun.

The leopard belt is exactly what I've been looking for - on the thin side, and long enough to wear with jeans or belted higher with a dress.

As I said I'm keeping all these, but I welcome your thoughts on how to style! This was just my quick and dirty to make sure they will work in my wardrobe. Bonus: I'm wearing my new Fluevog Stop It! Stad boots for these pics.
