My NAS stuff so far. A few keepers, some going back that you won't see, and one Is there hope? And a resolution to quit fooling myself and stop taking in so many carbs.

#1 is Nik +Zoe sweater and NYDJ straight leg plaid ponte pants. I like, but it's a good thing it has the zipper on one side, otherwise too tight in belly. (See resolution.) I like the straight leg better on me and I like this plaid better. Both are keepers.

#2 NYDJ ponte--hard time getting a good shot with plaid and Munro slip ons. Also keep

#3-6 I love the color of this Theory jacket. I like the fabric. I used to wear lots of Theory blazers and pants--not sure why I stopped buying them. Maybe the body change is why.

I'm trying to convince myself that even though it doesn't fit well it is still salvageable with different bottoms. It is too fitted for my current body, which is now more apple than ever in my life. I used to have a much narrower mid-section. The lower jacket flares out from my belly and muffin top. Still wrinkled, and I didn't realize the collar was up in the first self-timers. Took one outside.

Any hope? Even on sale and even though I can afford it this year I don't want to spend too much on something that doesn't work. I could drag myself to the store to try on other things next week.

Wearing it with Diana Kut plaid skinnies. Will keep these. They are so comfortable, but I am about to swear off skinnies because I don't like the way my legs look in them. They don't look right here.

Could replace it with the Nik+Zoe fringe tweed jacket.

#7-8 Eric Javits hat. A keeper. The band is same blue as Munros. My favorite hat of all time was a panama men's hat I bought at Penney's ages ago. I left it at the lounge at JFK on the way to Europe and never found a replacement. This is it.

Going back: Paige jeans. I love the slight bell bottoms. The pairs I bought last year in 30 are too big even now, so I got a bell and the higher rise skinnies in 29s and while they look good from hip down I can't button them. Darn.

Munro booties come today. EF top and underwear next week.

Updating to add Munro booties. Sigh they fit well, worried about long narrow toe, but checked and they aren't that much longer than old Munros.
