Suz and RobinF, thanks!

YES! All an easy integration into my wardrobe, style, and lifestyle.

Regarding the cranberry Theory vest - I don't have the pants yes! Shoid be here today. I need to fit, try, and play with the set before I make a final decision

Regarding the rest of the shoes - ALL EXCELLENT. Figuring out how it fits into my budget. I will need to make a decision!

The keeps are a sensational collection. I was surprised by how much I loved the brown suit when it was on, a nice dark base to work with your signature winter brights.

Great "keep's" so far! No dresses for you this year?

Bijou, as long as I wear the brown suit with brights, whites or light blue - it feels dead right with my new hair.

Laura, no NAS dresses for me this year - but I WILL be adding Winter dresses to my wardrobe now that I HAVE THE PERFECT BOOTS!!!

Winter dresses and new boots - love the sounds of that!

I noticed that not a single dress made your NAS recommendations this year. That does not bode well for the two dresses I ordered, but here's hoping!

Sweet Laura, there weren't many dresses to try on at the NAS, unfortunately So I couldn't vouch for any strongly enough, IYKWIM. Many too short too.

But you always make great dress choices, so let me know which are winners, and I will make them top picks!

Too bad about the lack of dress selection! The two dresses I ordered are due to arrive today. Fingers crossed and holding thumbs!

Yay! Keep me posted

Finally got the pants of the cranberry Theory gilet suit. It's GORGEOUS

But I'm not keeping it. Ideally, I need a size down in both items. I don't want it enough to chase sizes or have this size altered.

I got the Save the Duck hooded puffer on your suggestion and it’s so wonderful. I never would have noticed it unless you had highlighted it so thank you!!

Had been holding onto two not great on me older jackets to fill the need - out they go!

That is fably WONDERFUL! Happy for you. Save the Duck makes the best Italian puffers in my experience. Chic! And no down - which is what drew me to them first
