What I Wore

First, you look enviably great in leggings. And second, what a great haul of new items. I love the new tunic; such a rich autumnal pattern and colours. Also love the LuLu leggings. Very interesting about the sizing also. I need to update some winter workout wear so I will be checking those out. Thanks!

Great haul! And always fun to discover or rediscover stores. These all look like nice additions for your "finished casual" capsule, with some carryover to "comfortably dressy" with minor styling changes. I must insist that we see an outfit with the twist topper in #5 as soon as it's cool enough

Yay to new items

I like the long tunic over the leggings. Looks like you got some really nice items.

I hear you on H&M. I can't stand to go in myself anymore and I used to get a TON of things there.

Chiming in quickly to say that you look GREAT in #1. What a fab top on you, Carter. Colours are gorgeous with your complexion. Killer.

Thank you, Suz. I had forgotten how comfy leggings can be. I'm thrilled to have rediscovered them! Absolutely try those Lulu pants. I would have worn them on the 11 hour drive to and from Cleveland, but I was terrified the dog's nails would ruin them.

Aida! I am seriously impressed that you remembered my capsule names! Just for that, I will definitely post a WIW with the twist topper very soon.

Thanks, abc! I know quite a bit of planning went into your recent shopping and will certainly pay off in how the new items work for you. This was completely unplanned, but I'm easily corruptible by my FIL's wife;-).

Thanks, Angie! I do love the jewel tones in this top. They're deep, but more muted than bright. Just how I like them these days.

Carter you need to wear leggings more often because you look great in them! I love that twist top. I've gotten the soft surroundings catalog for years but I don't think I've ever ordered anything from them. It's always fun to discover new stores.

Where in Cleveland did you stay? I was returning to my home on the west side as you were leaving. I like all the picks.

Thanks, Susie! I'm so comfortable today, I will definitely be wearing leggings more often.

Shedev, my in-laws just moved back to Cleveland. They bought a place in Westlake, so we shopped the wonderful new Crocker Park. Are you anywhere near there?

I think they really suit you! I've been a no leggings ever proclaimer but posts like this one are making me curious. Hah...never say never.

I'm also glad to hear about your Soft Surroundings experience. I've always gotten their catalogs, picked out things I was interested in, and then never ordered. I may look more seriously next time!

I love your tunic and leggings outfit. Agree with Suz, this is a fab look on you. Can't wait to see posts of your new pieces. I'm particularly intrigued with the twist topper. It looks to have gorgeous drape and drama.

Peri, if I can take a $15 legging leap, perhaps you'll give them a shot! I will say, that if I didn't have any long tops to make these acceptable out and about, I would now be wearing these as loungewear. Instead, I'm sitting here curled up on the sofa realizing there's zero need to change until bedtime. Unlike my comfy EF pants, I don't even have to worry about the dog ruining my $15 pants with her nails:-).

Thanks, Sadie! I'm glad you found something you like at Chico's. They do have gems hidden in there!

Thanks, Aliona! I'll post more WIWs with these items. I couldn't find a full length mirror at my in-laws, so I don't have any pics yet.

Thanks, Sterling and Karie!

Super look in #1, Carter! That tunic is gorgeous on you, with the rich autumn colors. Your new retail sources have provided some winners here. It's especially great to hear about good leggings for street and gym wear.

I've wondered about Soft Surrounding myself -- I like the fact that they carry "different" things. You look beautiful and relaxed in your new outfit, and I love seeing the rest of your finds!

Your legs were made for leggings and the tunic looks great on you. Looking forward to seeing your other goodies modeled!

Love these post around styling the leggings with extra long tunics lately and you styled your new ones so fab-but you are Queen od Styling slim pants with tunics anyway:-)!
Particulary love the tunic in nr 1 as it is long enough and quirky hemline but still not a dress! Can't wait to see nr 5 in your wiw's, too!

Thanks, Sharan. Have you shopped Soft Surroundings before? Some of the tops have that "Firecracker" feel to them.

Thanks, Beth Ann. I actually thought of you when I first saw the tunic. I think the colors would be fantastic on you and would play well with your wardrobe.

Aw, Shevia. You're sweet! Off to gym class in a few to work on those legs!

Lyn67,you're right, the long tunic over leggings really is kind of the ultimate in the long over lean silhouette I love so much. I may have to find some more extra long tunics, since I was so very comfy yesterday.

Oh, I love the colours in your tunic. Just my cuppa and it looks great with your leggings. Lovely finds too, especially the sweaters.

Carter, I haven't shopped there, but I have received the catalogs from time to time. I agree, a lot of the looks are very me!
