I only had time for a very quick try on so far and didn't get any pictures. I plan to spend time on Saturday re-evaluating everything. Plus I have already ordered some additional items, different sizes, etc. so I won't be able to make final decisions on some things.
On my list were black slim leg pants, replacement bootcut jeans, black bootcut pants, boots in gray/taupe/pewter (in other words, non black!), toppers, tanks or tops to layer, lighter weight sweaters and colored jeans.
The finds show some of the things I tried...
The Lafayette silk tank is really nice and it fits very well. I got it in petite and took a size smaller than usual.
The Caslon long cardigan is a nice shade of charcoal and really soft. I like how the open weave adds texture and it's is a good choice for my climate.
I got a pair of Paige skinnies a couple of years ago that have been winners. So I ordered the plum ones and they are way too tight and a really skinny fit. I've ordered another style (NYDJ) in a more burgundy shade; hopefully those will work better.
Not all florals appeal to me but I really like the colors, fit and weight of the Halogen sweater enough that I might keep both of them. Is that too much duplication? I don't have a whole lot of pattern in my wardrobe.
The Diana ponte pants are very nice. I also got the popular NYDJ "ski" pant so I plan to keep one or even both of these since they are such a staple for me. I also tried NYDJ leggings but they didn't work as well, as they were a bit baggy at the thigh.
The tunic was just an impulse addition and I love it! (I got the black). It is long, very fluid and so so soft. I don't usually wear turtlenecks but it's nice and loose. Just a comfy, useful casual piece.
Stay tuned...
