Hi. I got it! And mostly feel more excited now that it's here

1-5 Madewell shirt dress. Expected it to look awful on me but I'm liking a lot and poised to keep it. Great color and quality, as I expected. It somehow doesn't make my bustiness look horrible, and I think it'll look fine now, and also if I lose weight. Fits fine around the arms and back. Really fits well. I'd be wearing it as a tunic.

6 Ted Baker. I dunno. It's sweet, but I'm not feeling it.

7-8. Halogen kimono sweater. Again, it's nice but I'm not excited by it. BUT I will be happy to be argued with if anything seems really wonderful (like at least a 9) in your esteemed opinions. Or conversely, I think I look great and I don't.

9-10. Paige t-shirt. It's well-made, color is good and fits well. BUT the edge is unfinished. Not acceptable. Back it goes.

11-12. Eileen Fisher cap-sleeved tee. It's basic but I need it, and her cuts almost always work well for me. I wish I liked, or needed, the other colors as much.

13-15. Lush Strappy Long Sleeve Woven Blouse (why the caps all of a sudden? : ) I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did: material, cut, color. I am going to keep. It's a little low-cut, though.

16-18. Nordstrom Collection cashmere sweater. Another one I wasn't expecting to really like as much as I do. I have one or two other cashmere pieces, but this has a better quality. I think I will keep it.

19-21 Eileen Fisher ribbed merino wool pullover. I just am not in love with this, though it's a perfectly okay piece. Not keeping unless you are very very very persuasive. Probably still not keeping.

22-23 Halogen Lace Overlay Shell. I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I do. It's sturdy and has a beautiful color and texture. (It's showing up too light in the pics--it's kind of a cross between a burgundy and a plum. Luscious.) Sadly, it is too tight. I will see if there is an XL, but likely not, or I would have ordered it.

Looking forward to Round Two! xoxoxoxo
