I’m not sure whether my *normal* size has gone up or if the gods are teasing me when I don’t order two sizes.

I ordered the cream sling backs in my normal size and 1/2 size up due to the pointy toes and my bunions. My regular size fits and the sling falls down on the larger size. IMHO, they do not feel like *heels*.

The gray suede boots are a true fairly neutral gray vs a warm gray. I didn’t order 1/2 size up so now I have. These also do not feel like a heeled boot. To refresh your memory, I have very limited motion in one foot so I can’t wear heels.

The Halogen cashmere pullover is a much prettier color than the same color in the layering funnel neck top which is very flat. The funnel neck is going back. The sweater actually fits under the CeCe puff shoulder jacket that I am still considering.

I sized down my on the black button down per their instructions. The sleeves are slightly long on me but not enough to alter. The buttons are fabric covered which makes them a bit difficult to button and unbutton The small shoulder pads snap out, and in general I think the puff shoulders make for a forgiving fit and less likelihood of gaping at the bustline.

I thought I would also add photos of the dress with: My new 55% off Miz Mooz boots that I can actually zip over my calves; my NAS Sam Edelman sneakers (1/2 size up) chosen because I needed a lighter silver than Angle’s Top Pick; and that corduroy vest so you can see where it hits a 5’ 1” person.

Lemme know if you have questions.
