The Amalfi T-strap pumps I ordered arrived, and I went to pick them up and try them on today. I ordered three sizes to try, since they come in widths, and ended up with the 7W. (This is the size I would usually wear in Munro, for comparison.)

I also tried on a pair of Rag and Bone jeans I saw the other day but didn't try at that time (featherweight Logan, in plum). I ordered a different size. They are not on sale and are a splurge. The color called to me.

I tried on and bought the Paul Green Balboa boots that Gryffin posted about. The heel looks very high, so I wasn't tempted by them until I read her glowing review of them. They do not feel like a high heel, and in fact, compared to the Vionic wedge booties that I also tried, they felt a lot more stable. I felt the Vionics pitched me forward a bit. For sizing, I took my usual Paul Green size (1/2 size down from my most common size, which is 7 1/2), and I also found the Vionics to run a 1/2 size larger than I expected.

Finally, the Bedhead pajamas arrived, and they are even cuter in person. The pencil-lines in the print are dark brown, not black. Very nice quality fabric and construction, trimmed with light blue satin piping, and the fit is roomy. I am usually between an XS and S, and the XS is just right.

Today's shopping outfit: Brown cotton pleated Bermuda shorts* (Mango); Anna crew t-shirt, Caladesi print (AllSaints); cropped lightweight denim jacket (OSKA); olive and brown Costa sandals (Cydwoq); sage Transport camera bag (Madewell); hexagon earrings with chain (AllSaints); mixed brass and silver link bracelet (AllSaints).

*I kept the larger size in these shorts, which I posted about here. There is a button-tab at the waist, and I found I wanted a button between the two existing ones, so I moved one of them over on each side. The fit is now perfect!

NAS is good for me this year; I've gotten some really good finds and I feel I haven't gone overboard.
