Gosh you really do look fabulous in every photo.I can’t pick a favourite.That s freaky how much Mr. Suz resembles Mr Cohen,has he thought of an alternative career?

This is all great, but I agree with Angie that the bright red looks are particularly awesome. Love that red scarf!

Such a plethora of fabness! I agree with you that sometimes you just have to get out of the house and actually SHOP! I've found pieces in the actual stores that I would never have dreamed of buying online! Well done, Suz!!

Wow great looks

What great finds, Suz! They slip so seamlessly into your wardrobe and style... hey, much like Angie's bog post today. I'm intrigued by this brand, and must keep an eye out for it around here. I wish it was easier to find out where lines like this are sold.

Looking forward to Part 2

Thanks, everyone!

Some notes:

Sandwich is available in quite a few Canadian boutiques as well as this main stand alone store in Montreal. They cater to over 40 women, which I guess is me but I actually liked some of their stuff when I was younger, too.

Mr. Suz (alas!) has an awful singing voice. He sounds more like Neil Young than Leonard. But yes, he is the Prepster Chief in our family.

Wonderful all around! Smashing in red, as usual. Hope my own DH ages into wearing colour as well as yours does. That lavender shirt!

Your shopping skills are amazing! I'm in awe. All pieces have a modern classic Suz vibe and you have styled them wonderfully. Red is a gorgeous a colour on you.

I love love love your military jacket. The dress is cute too. I always love your outfits. (I've copied you several times.) Mr Suz does look like Leonard Cohen.

Suz that's fantastic shopping. The outfit in #7 is perfection. Love what you have bought this season and the jacket and dress are both great items and I can see you wearing them to death It's such a lovely experience to buy in an actual store. To be able to try on, touch the fabrics, chat with the SA... I think it all adds to the experience of purchasing. Like you tho, I am now actually purchasing on line 99% of the time. Our shopping options are SO limited where I am. Ok if you like fast fashion and chain stores but so little else. I think the last significant purchase I made in store was in September.

An update -- Sandwich is sending me buttons to replace the ones that I have lost! They were super quick to respond!

That's great! I hope you get a few extras as well...

You lucked out with the military jacket. I love the details and the fact that it’s BLUE! Yay!
Super dress and boots.
I am wearing the heck out of my LaC’s and developing a strong loyalty to this brand.

Wow! Nothing tenative about your fashion pursuits, Suz. Each look sings for its purpose and is so you. Love the read and the military jacket. The bonus pic of Mr S is terrific.

About waterproof suede: Aquatalia does an amazing job- my black suede ones look new after 5 snowy winters. I was confident enough to try a pair of light gray suede ones this year; fingers crossed. About the price point, options likely vary in Canada, but the Aquatalia brand is now often on sale at Nordstrom and I have found some pairs at the Rack (including online) at 50% off. Still an investment, though the longevity compensates somewhat. Years ago, I rarely saw a good sale on them. Now, it may be worth an occasional search.

I agree, Eliza. My Aquatalias were a deep discount at Rack maybe 2-3 years ago and they are fantastic. It's definitely worth keeping an eye on the sales for Aquatalia. I've never done a thing to that suede and it's weathered (literally) all kinds of conditions.

Thanks, Eliza and Janet. The Bay sometimes puts them on sale at end of season for a really good price -- and then there is always NAS, where there are usually at least 2 stellar pairs of Aquatalias on offer -- if they happen to be the style one is after, it's a lucky day!

Deborah, thank you -- so nice to see you!

Smittie, many thanks, and YES -- the LaC's really inspire loyalty, also. I love both brands!!
