This is the first year that practically my entire wishlist has NOT sold out before I could shop. The only thing I was unable to order was the caped cardigan.

I ordered 5 items:

Halogen Raglan Sleeve Top in Burnt Henna (not sienna!)
Halogen Wrap Top
Madewell Pointelle T-Shirt
Madewell Cotton Crewneck Pointelle Sweater
Zella Strappy Camisole in Red Jelly

The package was delivered well into the evening, after a long, sweaty day, so pictures are in yellow electric light and very much unstyled.

1. The Halogen burnt henna top was too small. In the past I've sized way down in this brand, but this one was definitely fitted. I've reordered a size up to see how I like it in a better fit. Overall, it felt nice but didn't wow me. I have lots of good fitted long sleeve tees so I'm not sure this one is a keeper yet.

2. The Halogen wrap top was similarly too small, but also had way too little coverage. Even sizing up two sizes will not be enough to make me comfortable with this.

3. The Madewell pointelle t-shirt I'm not sure about. It's shorter than I expected; I like the shirttail hem with jeans, but not sure about this length. Again, this particular size was too small. The sleeves were also too short, which is unusual for me. But I love the material and I do like the neckline. I haven't reordered yet but I'm still considering.

4. I did like the Madewell pointelle sweater a lot, though the picture's not very flattering. Again, I want to size up. (I really missed my size guesses this year.) But it doesn't feel crazy small like the Halogen pieces. I've ordered a size up and need to do a try on with a skirt. It may be in the area where it's too long for a skirt (untucked) and too short for jeans.

5. Unexpectedly, the Zella camisole is a no-go. At first when opening the box, I thought there had been a mistake and they'd sent me two Burnt Henna tops. The colors are THAT close. Side by side, the "Red Jelly" color is very slightly more pink and a little lighter, but that's it. Not at all the warm dusty pink it looks online, it's more a brownish burgundy. I did give it a shot with my new Lands' End pink jacket (last Find) to see if they pair well, since I love light/dark tonal outfits. It's okay, but not amazing.

But the biggest problem is Picture 7 - after walking around the house a few minutes, it rolled and slide all the way up to my high waist. THIS is why I'm very leery of camisoles! Picture 8 shows me tugging it back down. But it hasn't a prayer of staying, even if I size up 3 sizes and wear a separate bra.

It's a cute top and I still wish it worked. And I'm glad I tried it. The Lands' End jacket (and hopefully the pants I ordered) are the exact right pink ("Dark Rose Clay"), so I'm also glad I got to choose.

This may be a small NAS for me, but I'm okay with that! I've really got a pretty good wardrobe already. I'm debating a couple of bras right now and the Madewell t-shirt, and still sort of stalking the caped cardigan, but I'm not terribly confident it will work for me anyway.
