No no no no no no no....

Kindra, I'm not sure I like you anymore.

Hahahahahaha! It didn't take you too long to catch that. Better sales in store, by the way.

I'm slow to posting due to waiting for sales. I did a big wardrobe overhaul last year so I have to reel it in a bit this year. Thus far I'm in for:

I have tons of additional things I am lusting after, but my goal is to do what I did last fall and go down one more size before investing in a bunch of things. I am happy to say most of the pants I bought last year are too big and I've kept off the weight - so I'm very happy I stuck to ATL for those. If I make my goal size, I will invest in some long lasting high quality basic and keep building with the fun stuff too.

The boots thread reminded me that I've been eyeing the Ugg Jillians so I ordered them yesterday in charcoal. They arrived today and are already sitting in my closet waiting for fall.

I also received my Boden order from the 20% off sale and I'm keeping the following:

Contrast Mary Janes in pewter

Pimlico dress in slate. Great with the Mary janes and a jacket for work.

http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens...l?NavGroupID=4

Casual belted dress in navy.

http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens...l?NavGroupID=4

Also ordered a denim mini and am waiting on the sixties skirt in petrol.

I have been buying and returning a lot! I really feel like I need to go through my closet closely before I buy any more. For example, I have a couple of animal print pieces, even though I am itching to buy some new ones since they are everywhere!! But of course there's no need to have like a dozen of those, LOL. And I keep seeing outfits that I could put together with what I already have, especially with jean skirt, sweater and boots.

Returns:

LLBean Cord Trench, although the weight is exactly right for New England fall, it's really huge.

Gap belted Jacket. Not quite right.

A - love the Citizens on you, especially with your Anthro top - so stylish! I'm living in mine - they are so comfy and I don't feel like a slouch when I wear them either. And LOVE your Boden purchases too, esp. the red dress and the tweed jacket - can't wait to see how you like them.

Anyone have any feelings about the coated jean trend, especially the ones that look like leather? I don't think I'll ever get leather pants, but I'm thinking this might be a good way to get the look, without shelling out lots of money and being uncomfortable and hot.

Here is a pair I'm thinking about:

TxCat - how tall are you? i love the cropped citizens but one of the reviews said that they are really long with a fixed cuff.

i have brown coated jeans (paige i think) that i picked up during the anniversary sale. i like them!

5'8", and as you could see in the picture, they hit me in the bottom third of my calf.

I so should have looked for coated jeans during the anniversary sale! I think I need to try them on in person before ordering online.

Shoot. I'm 5'3". There is no way that those will work on me. Too bad, as they are on sale and so cute!

Yes. I have a pair too, and I am 5'7". I wouldn't want them any lower because they would just look like too short pants!

The Boden tweed jacket was a total fail. Boxy, itchy and way too stiff.
