The rest of my orders arrived on Friday. First up, the Sweaty Betty After Class top. Super fun! Wearing it here with some old cropped jeans and my inside sneakers, but I'll also wear it with black athleisure bottoms and athletic sneakers, and probably full length jeans and the floral Danskos I bought last year (4th find). I sized down, based on the reviews, and like the fit. Thoughts/votes on the color?
The Vince dress is great quality for the price, very dark blue, washable, 100% cotton- ticks a bunch of boxes. I sized up, based on the reviews, and that I wanted it to have a more fluid fit, like the model. Leaning towards "keep" because I'll be able to wear it both now and post-pandemic. My only hesitation is that I usually like to buy at the beginning of the season, but given that I have 3-4 summer dresses that I'll likely retire due to wear, that's probably a silly reason, especially since I wear dresses and skirts almost exclusively in warm weather. If I do keep it, I'm thinking of getting these coral sneakers (fifth find) to wear with it, given my soft spot for brightly colored footwear with thick soles. Are any of your familiar with the Asportuguesas brand?
My boys and the house did really well at NAS this year. Nearly everything I bought for them is already in use!
I think the more limited selection actually helped me focus on our needs. It's been a great NAS for my entire family.
ETA- The top is for fun weekend wear, not for work. I work in academia, so maintain a “little bit of everything” from dresses like this one for casual summer days, to a couple suits for fall/winter conferences and meetings with upper admin.
