I’m just wondering what it looks like in person. My stylist sent me a photo of the first one maybe I can get her to tell me what the gold one looks like in person and then I could have her send that out as well.
Oh ok I misunderstood and thought you saw it in person. Personally, I no longer buy gold plate jewelry because it doesn’t last.
 
Thanks! It’s called antique gold. This sweater is sold out online and I haven’t seen any pop backs in the gold color. My local store has all colors in stock but none in a small. I asked the SA to source one and she said the system only shows mediums. My state only has 1 store, considering driving a couple hours to another state that has 3 stores since I k ow they do have some in the stores. I just won’t know what size and color.


Just so you know, I bought this sweater in both the small and medium to see which one I liked better and there is almost no difference in sizing. My husband in fact swore that the small was bigger than the medium. I ended up keeping the medium, but it was really hard to tell the difference. i suggest that if you really want it and the medium is available, just go for it.
 
I ordered the faux leather joggers from Spanx, they are in the sale, not sure of my size I ordered two sizes. The package shipped from the Spanx warehouse here in GA, they only sent one size... don't you think the vendar would have two sizes of their own stuff, or just cancel the other order... i don't understand.
I know, right. Let us know how you like them. I was thinking of ordering them myself.
 
One of the surprise items I really liked from the many that I ordered is the Eliza J Surplice Jumpsuit. I got my usual size 6, though I will need to get them hemmed since I am only 5'3. I would say I need about 3-4 inches hemmed, depending on the heel height. I got it in black, and now ordered the navy. I might need to get the shoulders taken in a bit so the v-neck isn't so deep on me (you can see the attached cami underneath that is not pictured on the model).

My Keds platform sneakers finally came, and I love them! I got both the white versions and black ones. I returned the white/vintage indigo one since I prefer the white/gold combo. However, I had to reorder the white/gold and black ones because each had a spot at the top by the toe area that wouldn't come off.

I also bought the Converse platform sneakers that are basically the same as the Keds white/gold combo except for the leather upper. So do I really need both? No, but I want both, haha.

I'm still stalking the Nike Sportswear Essential Fleece Pants in red in XS. I ordered a small and didn't realize they run big. They are very long on me, so I will need to get them hemmed, so that's my only hesitancy about keeping them. But also, do I really need any more sweatpants? That is a definite no.

I received the https://www.nordstrom.com/s/zella-peaceful-relaxed-pullover/5825653 in green today. Meh. Will probably return. It's soft, and flow-y with fitted arms but a dolman (I guess) sleeve? The kind that hangs low under the armpit? I don't know if its me and my new covid pounds or the cut of clothes this year but I can not find shirts that hang right this year. It's like oversized but short and if you size up to get long enough then it's way too oversized..... Is it only me? Maybe I'm just ordering everything in the wrong size. But at least I won't have a huge bill come August.
 
The order arrived! Here are thoughts and observations:

KUT from the Kloth Catherine Boyfriend Jeans (Quicken): warm dark blue shade and tons of stretch. I am struck by the range of stretch in Catherine jeans. These are super stretchy and I might suggest sizing down if they come on stock.

Caslon Long Sleeved Tee: the black and white stripe is super cute! I got the yellow and blue stripe and it’s nice but not joyful. The b/w is crisp and clean. I bought a medium and it fits my 5’10”/145lb frame well—a bit snug in the forearm. I bought a large in the green for lounging.

Halogen® Absolute Camisole: Speaking of lounging I got two in small. It’s a snug fit which holds ‘the girls’ in place well enough for lounging. They are really long in the torso though. And oddly wide at the arm pit.

Nordstrom Rib Wide Leg Lounge Pants: the fabric is really plasticky and feels cheap even though it’s soft. And it grabs easily making smoothing over any lumps and bumps difficult. Both pairs are going back.

Eileen Fisher Boxy Open Front Cardigan: I could go down to a size XS but it might lose its ease. Also the stitching seems to have pulled where it was folded. I’ll take a closer look but it might be too pricey for what it actually is. It is comfy and easy and it’s a nice shade of camel.

Continuing:

The Clinique and Aveda things are as expected.

UGG® Genuine Shearling Slipper (Women): meh. It fits and I think I like the Tasman style better. On the fence about keeping it.

Merrell Zion Hiking Sneaker (Women): it’s a heavier shoe (although still light) and the support is quite good. I wear the UA Charged Bandit trail shoe and I think that’s still a better shoe.
