I was planning not to participate in NAS and go on SYC if I had bought a 2.55, but since I bought a less expensive Chanel purse and I just got a refund from the IRS from my residency days, I now can throw my hat in the ring! There is no way with my schedule that I can get out to shop in person but I ordered some things online. My keep rate for online orders is usually about 10-25% but that's OK. Here is what I have on order:
1-3. Lafayette 148 New York Velvet Lambskin leather jacket in vino. This is the one I'm most hoping will work out. I have a L148 leather jacket from 2 years ago in cognac that I wear a lot, so I'd love to get one in a darker burgundy. I ordered a 4, same size as my other L148 jacket. I would have ordered a 4 and 6 to make sure, but it's rather expensive, so I'm hoping it will be the right size. I would wear this like a blazer at work.
4. Lafayette 148 Gayle matte silk tank in black
5. Lafayette 148 Christina tweed skirt. Probably won't keep this because I already have two tweed skirts from L148 and Halogen, but I like matchy matchy and buying whole outfits so I thought I'd order it just to see. I really like using tweed skirts and leather jackets as a "suit".
8. Halogen Leather & Ponte Pencil skirt in black--I'm going for the look in #9, but thought the leather jacket in #1 would be more versatile than the leather shirt. I have a cinnamon leather A line Leith skirt that I wear to work, so I'm sure I could wear this leather skirt to work as well.
10. Trouve Corrugated High/Low sweater in black. Loose drapey top to go with the Vince Camuto midi skirts.
11-14. Vince Camuto Midi tube skirts--Angie's pick. I already have one of these in black from last year. I sized up to a M because of my apple belly, so I stuck with that size. They were supposed to be 2 for $79 but it didn't work on my order, so I'm going to have to call to get a credit back. I will probably keep one of 11-12 and one of 13-14 if they work. Too bad the cherry red is sold out in regular sizes--I would order a petite but am worried it would be too short.
15. Kate Spade Deborah Dot iPhone case--to match my diaper bag!
