Kathie - I think you look stunning in the theory blazer and mackage coat! You look gorgeous in red. But only you know if you love them. Both too expensive to settle, of course. Also love the aquatalia boots. I have the Aquatalia undy boots and adore them. Almost identical to their replacement pair. I got my first at NAS many moons ago. Almost identical style but braided leather upper.

You look fab in the items you tried on but if they are not what you want, you are absolutely right in not keeping them. I agree with what you say about the boots although they do look lovely on you and I also prefer shoes that are lined with leather as that makes them more comfortable.
I must follow your example and be more discerning and organized with my purchases. This year I am doing a lot better with that though.
I also have the laundry net, it is very useful and I am happy that I bought it last year.
Thank you for all the reviews. Your post is a very good read.

You made some beautiful choices. I love that you know what works for you, and are willing to walk away from items that don't meet the grade!
