WIW plus what happens when you’re foolish and buy final sale

This is a kitchen sink post, covering an online final sale fail, a NAS purchase, and WIW including the red dress that is practically my housedress, I wear it so frequently.

I am fully in dresses/skirts over the last several days due to a small and uncomfortable surgery that has me out of commission for pants this week.

One of my favorite online merchants, Need Supply, is closing. I’m sad. Got two nice pieces (a red tie dye slip skirt and a lace blazer) , daughter got two nice pieces (not shown but she’s so pretty ❤️). And I got a dud of a weird gold tent fabric skirt that I wasn’t expecting from the stock photo.

From NAS, I ordered ALO exercise wear that I have not yet received. And this Theory faux leather mini dress. It’s a lot. I know. And these ridiculous quilted mules that still I kind of love. Let’s just say I might have off-forum fans. Finds are not working for me anywhere now. ☹️

You look gorgeous in everything! Though I agree the skirt is a funny shape on. It almost hangs like culottes. But back to the winners. I love the leather dress--what a knockout piece, and a great LBD to have on hand. The Veronica Beard dress is very pretty on you. The olive tie-waist t-shirt dress is so cool looking, and something I would enjoy wearing, too. You have a lot of good finds here.

Love your skirts and dresses!

Wait is the last picture the "dud" skirt? Because I like it! Clearly your daughter gets her pretty from her mom. You look gorgeous in everything!

You look cute in everything. Wear that gold skirt casually with sneakers and a graphic tee.
I really scour the reviews of items that are final sale. Often the fit is off or the fabric is a problem. If it is a brand I know and if someone I know would wear it if I can’t, I may order anyway. Sometimes it can work in your favor. I was able to score several EF pieces this way as they often run large and I know how several items fit me. If they are still too large, I know several people who would love them.

I'm with Shevia. I *love* the "dud" skirt. I agree with Firecracker -- though I wouldn't say culottes -- it hangs a bit like those sarong shorts Janet and I have. Anyway -- maybe it's worse in person but I wonder if it will grow on you.

A house dress is a fabulous thing -- and a red one is even better.

You look fab in all the dresses and the faux leather is sexy and fun.

I hope you are healing up well. But in any case, we need to enjoy skirt and dress weather to its fullest while it lasts.

I like all your dresses - especially red and olive ones ( all are fab on you! ). You have pretty gold jewelry collection - works so well with everything!

Love the house dress! Love the dud skirt... unless it’s sorta stuck wrinkled?

unfrumped

You can wear almost anything and loo great! I live all the colors- Poland red are great on you. And cool LBD.

Liesbeth

You look great in all those outfits! I understand your reservations about the gold skirt but I'm with Suz on them ;).

RobinF

You look fabulous in dresses! I also like the gold skirt, very fun.

Janet

Yeah, you look great in everything! I agree with the others about the gold skirt -- I don't see "dud" but I get it. Sad about Need Supply.

Laurie

All of the above, plus you look way better in that gold skirt than the stock photo would suggest, in my opinion. I like the slip skirt - different color tops will be fun with that.

My faves are the red dress, olive dress, and patterned skirt! KILLER on you.

Nice that you got some fun pieces from Need Supply before they call it a day. And your DD IS pretty

I hesitated to comment until I looked at your post on my desktop. Love the gold skirt as much as I love everything else! You look fab!! So gorgeous!

Brooklyn

Love the tie dye skirt especially. And you look sensational in the pleather mini. Sad about the gold skirt. Maybe it could be altered in some way? I like the idea of it, so I can see the appeal.

LaPed

Oh, I hadn't heard about Need Supply closing! That is sad.

All your outfits look great, even the dud skirt. Glad to know I'm not the only one who takes door reflection selfies!

I think everything looks really good! The colors and pattern of that red print skirt are really gorgeous. I agree with the hive mind - that gold skirt doesn't look like a dud. Maybe try it with a black long sleeved blouse and booties once it gets cooler? Or alter it. Of course if you don't like it that's the end of it it
