This would be a great post/thread as we come to the new year. I know I'd say shoes were a high point for me- the tweed Averys, paisley printed heels for sure are loves. I also started wearing the lookouts which was a switch from toothpicks and am finding the higher rise so much better. <br />I'm going to think about the rest. I do need to stop buying as much as I did lately. I kept caving to the promos. <br />janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257918991247030517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-25477344779000062492016-12-27T19:15:13.530-05:002016-12-27T19:15:13.530-05:00Thank you for those updates!

I think that skirt seems like such a special, statement piece and I've seen a few JCAs style it wonderfully on their IG accounts. IKWYM about not being able to justify the full price paid especially if it's not a TOTAL love though. Sometimes when I'm on the fence like that, I just quickly return an item just so I could stop driving myself crazy with the 'should i/should i not' keep it decision. However, sometimes when I feel a piece is unique/hard to find something similar (in my world of shopping), I prefer to hang onto it, even if it doesn't get THAT much wear. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

The material is substantial, and I understand where comments about it feeling rough are coming from. I'm trying to decide whether to keep it-- I know I can wear it to a formal event next month if I have it hemmed in time (pair w either navy or black cashmere t), but I'm not sure whether I would wear it casually. I'm 5'4" and 115#; the 00 fits my waist. <br /><br />Oh, and he paid full price since he didn't want it to sell out, but I know I saw it marked down/promo eligible leading up to Christmas, and I dislike paying full price for something that I'm not totally in love with, especially when alterations are required.

After all, how many pairs of glittery shoes, black turtlenecks or coats does one need.
