I am grateful to have a spare bedroom that can hold all of the boxes I've got stacked! I already have one big box filled with returns and will be packing up more items this weekend.

Here are a few things that didn't work and will be going back (some I have already mentioned on other threads):

Lafayette olive coat- I ordered both a L and a M (I almost never can wear a medium) and the M is still big all over. I didn't love it enough to go down another size so this is going back.

Donald Pliner grey boots- These are beautiful...I love the color and the texture of the leather. And the heel height is nice. They were snug in the width in my regular size but a half size up would probably fit well. I do really want a pair of grey or taupe boots but I would like to find one that is a bit less casual. Grey leather is tough to find and I do like suede so I am trying this one:

KUT Diana ponte knit- I prefer the fit and the fabric of the NYDJ Ski pant so I am keeping that one instead.

NYDJ skinny in wine- I often have to size down in NYDJ and I did with the first pair I ordered. They were a bit tight all over so I re-ordered these in my regular size. The color is lovely for fall and the fabric is very soft so I hope the larger size works.

NYDJ leggings- not a good fit for me as they had a puckering, bagginess at the thigh (probably due to my apple shape, pants are often too big in the leg when they fit in the waist. )

Curio colorblock poncho- the wide neckline didn't work for me as I just couldn't get it to lay right. Fun sweater though in a nice color combination (the back includes a big block of olive).

NYDJ ponte bootcut (1st photo)- I had high hopes for these but didn't like the fit at all. And I didn't care for the faux zippers and pockets.

Paige bootcut jeans (photo 2 and 3)- I was thrilled to find bootcut jeans in petite and I tried two styles, the Skyline and the Transcend Hidden Hills, but neither was a perfect fit and the fabric was more stretchy/thin than I like. I am going to stick with the pair I have for now, from WHBM. They are a bit big at the waist but the denim is substantial, which I prefer.

NYDJ 'Clarissa' colored stretch ankle skinny jeans (photo 4)- I got these in "bluebonnet." When I took them out of the package, I was thrilled with the color, a perfect shade of light blue. But the fit was very "Mom jeans" on me. I couldn't get them off fast enough!

So, a lot that didn't work but still quite a few things that I am planning to keep. And I am waiting on a few things yet, plus some other things at home that I need to evaluate, including the Lafayette ink pants and jacket. I will try to post pics tomorrow.
