I approach NAS with 3 primary goals each year:
1. New Suit/office outfit
2. Fall/Winter gear for N. California
3. Casual clothes update.

This year #3 is the priority as I'm working remotely more often, and need alternatives to yoga wear.

Round 1 winners:
Classique Charcoal Grey Suit - the color is a strong neutral, and needed. Waiting on a size option on the blazer before making a final commitment.

Kate Spade blazer. A splurge, and I LOVE it. Can already think of multiple ways to style, and can see this staying in the wardrobe for years.

Hinge booties. Love the low profile, and the detail. Will be perfect for fall.

Cocoon sweater. Slouchy and soft. Perfect for morning walks with the dog.

Round 1 losers:
Jen 7 Sateen jeans - rise didn't work for my curvy hips http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/je.....wordsearch

Halogen cashmere sweater. Liked, but didn't love.

Classique skirt suit. I wanted to love this, but the blazer proportions weren't working for me - button at wrong point, peplum at wrong angle..just not a good choice. (Also need room for the Kate Spade blazer)

Spanx Leggings. Liked, but didn't love

Halogen sweater/blazer. Looked messy, not intentionally slouchy.

Vince Camuto top - ok, but not setting the world on fire.

Round 2 due to arrive tomorrow/Weds. Looking forward!
