It has been a while since I've posted...here's what I've been up to in my eternal quest to find something that fits me ;).
While Christmas shopping at Saks Off Fifth outlet, I came across some nice cashmere blend sweaters by 7 For All Mankind. As you know, you can't find their jeans above a 32" waist. So I wasn't hopeful the sweaters would run true to size. I picked out a short-sleeved, oatmeal colored sweater in L and when I tried it on, it fit perfectly. The sweater was $79.99 but with a discount coupon, I got it for $59.99.
I got an even better deal on a Tory Burch long-sleeved top at Nordstrom Rack. It was $39.99! And again, the L fit just fine. There was a cute TB dress in a size 14, but it looked like it was still a little too narrow for me.
Then today, while at Loehmann's, I saw that Paper Denim Cloth actually makes tops up to XL ("4"). I never knew that it did, since the biggest size I'd seen in any of their tops is L ("3"). How 'bout that?
Not everything I've acquired this yuletide season was discount. There was a way cute jacket from Anthropologie I initially tried to order from its website, but when it was backordered, I called the closest store (20 miles away) and it turned out there was one left in L and in the color I wanted. Woo hoo!

I saw your mention of Tory Burch, and at the end of December, I found an orange Natasha henley T-shirt at Loehmann's near the Beverly Center. I was wondering if a L fit me, and it did, so it's in my closet now.
Another good bargain came from a nearby resale store -- pink Manolo Blahnik sandals, barely worn, for $110. If I can find MB 41s for less than $150, I'm generally open to purchasing them.
