I often plan to sit NAS out... not because I plan to sit it out, but have such a hard time thinking of fall clothes when summer has JUST arrived. So I sit back and watch, and see what Angie picks, and what people post, and see what tickles my fancy. So I guess for me, NAS is a bit of a wildcard purchasing opportunity.

This year I ordered two things, and they are both winners. The Halogen jacket, and the EF jeans. Both from Canada, so no shipping or duty.

I am also interested in a couple of items that are available only in the US, and have yet to decide if I want to pay the price (and take the chance).

I think the Halogen jacket looks better in person than it does in this pic, but it's just too hot to try it on again to get a more flattering one :). Should have also taken one with it open. I think here it makes me look very wide, as you have plaid across my mid section plus my arms. I will be replacing the buttons with black ones. I can see wearing this a lot, with black bottoms, navy bottoms, red bottoms, and of course jeans. I really like the EF jeans, and this pretty much completes any black jean look I might want, as I also have slim ones, and wide leg ones. And not tight in the calves!!!!

Keeping both unless combined YLF wisdom says otherwise...
