I placed a huge order, all based on Angie's recommendations. I won't be able to keep everything, so will need to do some triage.
Items are trickling in--and so far, so good:
#1--striped v-neck tee in burgundy/navy. This is fabulous--wonderful fabric, great fit. TTS. Expensive for what is basically a tee? but I think it's a keeper regardless.
#2--ribbed sweater in black multi stripe. Wow. Very flattering, very comfortable. The husband loved it. TTS. Can't beat the price. I think I have to keep this, too.
#3--ribbed peplum sweater. This is something different for me--I'm a pear and don't normally look for any extra plumage around my hips. But Angie described it as "best on a longer neck and regular or smaller bust"--that's me--and also said it was "too short for long waists"--well, I'm short-waisted. And it's navy, not black. So I thought, why not? And I think I love it. It fits me very well. It is definitely not for a longer waist--it fits more like a petite top in overall length and in sleeve length. It's really quite flattering, much to my surprise. I think I might have to keep this too!
#4--summit jacket. I got this in petite. Also TTS I would say. I like this a lot, but I'm on the fence about this one. It's definitely fleece material, and I'm not sure whether I'm okay with that for the office. Still considering.
#5--crewneck sweater in pink compact (solid). This was not my first choice color, but I like it okay. I sized up, as Angie recommended, and that was the right thing to do. Even so, this is rather short--not sure it would work well on a longer waist. This fits well, but I don't love it. OTOH, I could see getting a fair bit of wear out of it--it would work both with jeans and with dressier pants for work. This is a maybe.
That's all for now--will post more as more items arrive.
Thank you Angie!
