This was a much lighter year for me than the past two...the things on offer just weren't what I was looking for. It seemed to be a great coat/jacket/jeans sale so a good year for those with that wishlist. I went in to this year's sale intending to focus on fewer but higher end items, but it didn't work out that way. I went with the fewer, but not the higher end. My main hope was a bag, but none of them stole my heart. Next!

Here are the things I am keeping. The ruana is the one I'm happiest about. My rule was no cashmere unless it was a wrap in a color I loved. This one was a happy surprise...the color is a bit deeper and more heathered than the picture appears and the ruana style is different from my other two wraps. The green sweater is a beautiful color and the finish is a bit silky. I could do without it, but since it had so little competition, it won. The blouse in nice, and the leopard T...I got it in green...is a fun wildcard for $15. Green leopard, very wild!

I also got one pair of shoes...the Ecco Soft 7 in bronze, another wildcard. I love my "chanel" ones from two years ago so I know I will like them, but the wildcard will be the color. I'm hoping bronze will be a sort of neutral, but I'll have to see how that works out!
