I've been shopping on and off all day as I've had a few minutes. I was up early this morning so started perusing while I had coffee. I was deliberate in shopping the categories that I had in mind for my needs/wants list and pretty much stuck to it. The site was glitchy all day as others noted and I couldn't get it to take my order for the longest time. I gave up at one point and logged back in later and then I saw my order had gone through...hopefully only once!
I focused on tops/toppers that aren't too heavy, shoe/boots, a coat that isn't black and possibly a bag (also not black.)
I don't think I have finds for everything but I ended up ordering 9 things to try:
Coats- DVF in light blue in finds plus a wool blend boucle in burgundy.
Shoes- IFranco Sarto loafers in the burgundy patent (navy velvet in finds)
Sneakers- my style isn't sporty but I do like to have a comfy sneaker for walks etc. I thought I wanted slip on but the Ecco Soft 7 appeals to me...I like the toe cap and the mixed texture. (I ordered black.)
Jeans- not on my list but petite jeans aren't easy to find and I've had wit and wisdom before that fit well so hopefully these will too.
Tops- two from Ted Baker- black with bell sleeves and the gray lace trim sweater. I also got the lace up sweatshirt in light blue just for casual fun. Hopefully the blue works well with jeans. I have a few more tops saved too.
Topper- Helene Berman navy (not black!!) and white fringe tweed jacket http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/he.....ting-46129
I considered several bags but none jumped out as a must. I'm still undecided about boots....I might wait on those for now. Fall is so far off!
