It’s almost 90 degrees Fahrenheit with high humidity, so it must be time to try on wool and lined NAS arrivals!

First up is the Nordstrom crewneck sweater, in black. I haven’t had a basic black crewneck for several years and think this sweater will get a lot of wear.

Second is the Treasure & Bond mixed plaid jacket. It’s less of a huge statement piece than I’d feared it might be, and even though I’m not much for shoulder pads, I think I can live with these. It’s soft and warm at the same time. My only concern is the sleeve length; I wish they were a tad longer. I might use my Nordstrom alterations credit and have them lengthened, if possible.


I just threw on blue jeans and navy espadrilles to try both items; neither are styled. I can imagine wearing the blazer with black leggings and ankle boots, among other ideas.

The dog looked so sad that I was going outside without him that I had to include him in some of the pics.
