Hi, all. I was out of the country during the start of NAS and probably missed out on the best selections, but today I decided I needed to go. I have more holes than actual wardrobe in my wardrobe, I often feel. So on the plus side, it means I'm very likely to get stuff I can use!

I had only very briefly glanced at some of Angie's recommendations, and I am planning on reviewing them and spending more time online in the next day or two. My local store didn't have incredible inventory, but I was quickly able to buy some jeans and t-shirts I really needed. Sale items are the two pair of NYDJ jeans. I also fell in love with this black cashmere hoodie that I haven't bought (maybe you should enable me...it's kind of pricey and maybe the moths eating my nice new sweater phobia plays into it...but it looked and felt amazing.)

But the real prize for me wasn't even from the sale, and I'm still convincing myself it's worth its pricey tag. (I'm not returning it.) A lightweight travel raincoat from Mycra Pac that has the most beautiful olive shimmer and is cut perfectly according to my playful arty highwayman sensibilities . It's reversible, big enough to accomodate almost anything I could wear underneath, and it will fold up into a small bag (which is included in the price). I love it so. I am besotted with it. It's so me.

So I probably will pick up a few more things, and if I do, come back and post them here...I miss doing that!

Thanks for reading.
