Shopping finds

~ Winterwear ~

It’s been a real task to shop for winter clothes this year. Seems like retailers positively refuse to offer warm clothing. I pretty much gave up on trying to find sweaters and focused on layering.

Target thermals size XS or Small

I pick up a few new target thermals each year. The quality is crap and the colors are questionable lol, but they work for a season or two.

J.Crew vintage thermal henley size XS

I had high hopes for this and was a little disappointed. The fabric is nice, much thicker than you’ll normally get from JC. The purple is beautiful, that impossible to find elsewhere shade. But the sleeves are a bit strange. They feel as if they were sewn incorrectly around the shoulder and the sleeve length is shorter than I would like, with a tight cuff. Not a great layering top, more a wear on it’s own. I think this will be cute in the spring with a pencil skirt. I’m glad I did not size up to try and gain length because the body stretches out with wear.

How many are too many: black booties

I already have a pair of Kelsi Dagger and Chie Mihara black booties. But, I am starting to love these by Rachel Comey…..

Example of the fit

Should I sell the two pairs of boots below and buy the Comey’s above? Or save, save, save and keep all three? The booties I have are fitted and I realize I don’t have the thinnest legs. Something I like about the Comey’s is that they are more open around the ankle and have a lower heel.
