I also am surprised by how much I like everything I ordered. I ordered way too many things, so that makes it tough for me because I'll have to decide what to return! Good for you though, because I have a lot of gems to show you.
So let's just dive right on in!
Dress - Halogen, wearing an XL. Currently $65.90, after the sale $99.00. Still available in 3 colors/patterns. I love this style of dress because it's one of those things that will work for so many occasions. You could wear it like this for date night, church, or a wedding. Toss on a jacket and it would be perfect for work. Or you could add sandals and a denim jacket and wear it out to brunch or running around on the weekend. The micropleats in this are so cute, they start smaller at the top and are bigger at the bottom. It's a loose, swingy cut so you could drop down a size if you prefer it to fit closer to the body. I like it at my normal size though because it's really comfortable. Definitely a keeper!
Pants - Leith, wearing an XL. Currently $45.90, after the sale $69.00. Also available in tan. I have been wanting more dress pants because I currently only own black skinny pants for when I need to dress up. These are a little hard to photograph but they're really pretty in person. They are high waisted, which doesn't always work on me. You just have to find the right top to pair them with - something simple that lets the pants shine! Online and in this photo they look more eggplant, but I thought they were a bit closer to brown in real life. I think I will be keeping these.
Jacket - BlankNYC, wearing an XL. Currently $58.90, after the sale $88.00. Available in 3 colors. I freaking love this jacket. It's a faux leather that's really light and not bulky, and the lining is super soft. I love the cut, it's really flattering. I have a black moto jacket that I bought nearly 10 years ago that's a cotton twill, so I'm excited to replace it with this!
Skirt - BP, wearing an XL. Currently $31.90, on sale $49.00. Almost sold out, just this color. I used to own a bunch of skirts like this so I'm glad to have a new one in my closet! It will be great for transitioning into fall weather, and the brown is a pretty neutral that will go with a lot.
Sweater - Caslon, wearing an XL. Currently $38.90, after the sale $59.00. Not in stock in blue, but in two different stripes and a yellow. This sweater is going to be a great basic for fall and winter. It's a really pretty color, it's got a good high-low length that will work great with leggings too, and it has a tulip rounded split hem that's really flattering. I can definitely see wearing it for work or the weekend!

Booties - Vince Camuto, TTS. Currently $79.90, after the sale $119.95. Available in 8 colors. I always am on the hunt for a good inbetween bootie/sandal, that will work in weird Chicago spring and fall weather. This is the pink color ("Precious Suede") and they actually look less pink in person, they're actually a pretty good nude for my skin tone. The heel isn't too high, and they have a velcro closure so they're easy to slip on and run when the baby is screaming at me. I haven't walked too much in them so I'll have to make sure they meet my impossibly high bar for comfort, but so far they are keepers!

Boots - Vince Camuto, TTS. Currently $159.90, after the sale $239.95. In stock in 3 colors. These were the thing I was most excited to get in the mail, and I am so bummed because the shaft height doesn't work on me! They hit right at my knee, which means they're uncomfortable to sit down in and look super awkward with skirts. I have crazy long legs though (I wear a 35" inseam in pants I want to hit the floor, 33" for skinny jeans) so on most people they would hit over the knee and be fine. They are really comfortable though and have only a 2.5" heel so I'm super bummed to be missing out!
Sweater - Topshop, wearing an XL. Currently $44.90, after the sale $68.00. Still in stock. I ordered this thinking it probably wouldn't work on me, and I was right. It just isn't very flattering, especially in person (I actually think it looks fine in the photo). It is really warm and soft and cozy though, so if you aren't as busty it may work on you.

Fleece - Patagonia, wearing an XL. Currently $89.90, after the sale $129. Available in 3 colors. I have a bunch of pullover fleeces, but I wanted something zip-up that would be easier to toss on over things. It is so soft and cozy, and really warm. I don't love the white on me though so I think it's going back.
Jacket - Patagonia, wearing an XL. Currently $199.90, after the sale $279.00. Still available in 3 colors. My work teased me last summer by giving me this jacket and then took it back and said our team was supposed to get a different black jacket that they were ordering. I still haven't gotten the black jacket, but the tease of the white one made me realize I wanted a white coat to wear in Chicago when it's 40 degrees in May. This is a good weight that I think I'd wear down to 25 or 30 degrees. I love that it has a hood, I always want to wear something hooded when it rains or snows so I don't have to worry about an umbrella. It's super cute and cut well so you don't feel like a snowman.
Pajama Top - BP, wearing a 1X. Currently $25.90, after the sale $39.00. Currently available in 3 colors. I bought the 1X because it was the only size available when I ordered. It's a little big but actually not that bad. The matching shorts are sadly sold out, but I would actually go down two sizes in these, they are cute as a part of the set but look weird by themselves. While the shorts are sold out, there are still matching joggers available.
