I made final decisions!

Did a fun fashion show for Greg, Sam, and Jo yesterday and this was the cream that rose to the top. I much appreciate how my hubs takes great interest in my style and is very supportive! 

Scored 9 KILLER-to-me items. I had a great NAS!  

Some of the items were on my shopping list. Others are wardrobe essential no-brainers. The rest - unexpected wildcards! I would never have ordered these wildcards online. They found me in stores in person as I passed them by. 

I got 6 items on my original NAS 2024 wishlist. I tried everything on the list - apart from the red Reiss pants (still sold out). The other items are great for someone else ;)

Excuse the terrible pics in our rental unit. Awful light and mirror, but you'll get an idea. I integrated the two pairs of shoes and belt into the outfits:

1. Navy L'Agence Patterned Silk Blouse: This is my 4th patterned blouse from the brand because I feel magical is this type of punchy classic top :) Very fluid fit. #Greg's fave!

2. Blue AllSaints Mesh Top: My 2nd one. I love alluring sheer tops! Great with suits too.

3. Whiskey Paige Ruffled Sweater: Wildcard. Layers well as seen in the photo with the jacket. Decided it's not seasonally confused! #Greg's fave! 

4. Toffee Dressy Pants: Unexpected wardrobe essential. #Greg's fave!

5. Pink L'Agence Tweed Jacket: Wildcard. I adore neon! And the playful colours in this classic silhouette had my name on it.  Very fun neon lining. #Greg's fave!

6. Gold Mary Janes: On my shopping list. Wardrobe hole. Worn them four times already! 

7. Cream Loafers: no-brainer wardrobe essential. 

8. Cream AllSaints Belt: no-brainer wardrobe essential.

9. Blush Cashmere Scarf: to replace a blush scarf that's itchy.

My 2024 NAS is done unless the red Reiss pants come back into stock. 

Thanks for looking! xo

UPDATE: More walking around in the boots today. Threw the box in the bin. I'm keeping them. Let's hope I made the right decision!

.....at least I hope so. Walking around in them to make sure my long toes have ENOUGH room.

If they work out - it's another item ticked off my shopping list. Fingers crossed! $70. 

Had dressier rubber rain boots on my list for 2 years. I've tried many pairs. They are hard to fit when you wear a half size. Also, my narrow feet slide around in rain boots and slip off! Not ideal when you're running and playing on the beach with doggies..... 

These run small and snug which is just what I needed. I wear a US6.5 and these work well in a US7 (so far, anyway). No sliding around. The inners are warm and insulated. In fact, they feel a bit fleece lined. Excellent for cold PNW beaches :)

I got the white, which is a rich cream in person. Personally, I don't mind the logo branding. It looks like a geometric pattern, and will be mostly covered by pants and jeans anyway. They look polished on the foot! 

Size up, and not suited to wider feet. 

Grabbing a minute to rest between clients!

#OOTD: a 10 year old pinstriped Theory suit that I hemmed for flats. It looks current enough FOR ME with the longer blazer and mid rise. Wish it wasn’t grey but it’s sooooo beautifully made and impeccable all these years later. Can’t pass it on. Making it work this way. My way :)

Fashion Message Today: REPURPOSE AND REMIX OLD FAB CLOTHES

I carry two Furlas on days like this. One for my phone that is on me at all times. And one for everything else.

And finally found my trendy belt bag! Had to be white, cheap, not too big, and with gold hardware. It’s VERY practical for my lifestyle.

And how badly I eat during the NAS. No time to sit. Have to grab and not make mess.

Off to fetch the next client at concierge...

Darling Anna is not the only one wearing “Dad Sneakers” - although we have to find a better name for them, right?

Love their ‘80s vibe - but get if you think they look awful. It’s all good!

I’m having fun wearing them :)
