Can't help noticing that you look more sophisticated every year! I always avoided NAS--sales like this make me anxious for some reason. I guess I prefer end-of-season sales because they give me lots of time to decide what I really want, and bargains on expensive items can be outstanding. With most things I'm willing to take the risk that it may not be there when prices go down. This year, though, I jumped at something I saw in the sale: the Halogen petite cascade- front jacket in navy/black herringbone tweed. It arrived today, and I love it: excellent quality and easy fit, with an elegant, not too voluminous, asymmetrical drape. Best of all for a petite, the sleeves are exactly the right length! The tweed is not heavy or wooly, and the sleeves are very fitted, so I will probably wear this as a more polished alternative to a cardigan, alone or under a heavy coat, with black pants or jeans. A great buy, too, so maybe next year . . .
