Great capsule. When I attempted to order two particular pieces, they are sold out. Why do so many of these articles on fashion post items that are no longer available?

  Jo Ann,
  I’m glad you liked the capsule. And, I feel you…it’s frustrating to do all the work to find the right pieces, then to have them sell out so quickly. I try to link alternatives in that case. Best wishes.

Lovely wardrobe but sizes are too small for me. I’m a plus senior.
