First - I didn't make any effort to style these - I didn't have time to change everything (I wouldn't wear those jeans with any of these).

(I think I've answered my own question. I tried it on at the store over this dress: http://www.nyandcompany.com/ny.....cat2100002 and I loved that look, but I'm not sure about it in a "normal" context and I don't think I'll be getting an orange sheath any time soon).

White wedges (my feet are not sandal worthy yet, please ignore)

These aren't the most comfy shoes in the world, but for $5 I think they'll work as church shoes, specifically with my Easter dress:

What do you guys think? (Thanks in advance!)

Great haul! I like everything. The wedges are really nice and will be so versatile in both casual and more dressy settings. Love the Easter dress... very flattering. I really like the style of your denim shirt and I think once styled it will look great. The red tunic is also sweet and will look nice once styled in an outfit. Let's see outfits.

Fab finds, the wedges are particularly great. The shirts would look great belted x

ooh, my favorite game!

I like everything too. just keep in mind that you'll want to wear those tunics with straight leg or skinny jeans.

You have made some fabulous purchases. I love the wedges best of all - I can see you getting heaps of wear out of them over summer!

Those wedges are so cute! I also love the red tunic. It's hard to tell about the denim shirt since it's not part of an outfit, but it doesn't look bad.

Dusty, I can't tell if it's just the way your arm is raised to hold the camera, but the denim shirt looks a little wide in the hip area for slender you? In the photo, it kind of curves outward, whereas the red one looks like it skims your body.

Anyway, love the dress, shoes, and red tunic and if the denim one is just askew from camera-holding (haven't we all been there) then I love that too. I think the length, color and fabric are great -- just questioning the fit.

I love the red shirt, the dress, and the wedges on you. I love the denim shirt, but I wondered about the size too.

Compare the pic of it to the pic of the red shirt and see that the denim looks too big for your slender shape. Your arm appears to be in the same position in both pics. Did you try the next size down? It does seem to have a great fabric and color to it. . .

Thanks guys!

I'm thinking the denim shirt may be a little big in the hips. The next size down was a little tight in the shoulders so I don't think I can go down a size realistically. I'm thinking that one is going back.

I was thinking the same thing about the denim shirt but you can't really be sure without properly styling it. Have tried it creating a couple outfits with it?

See now, I liked the denim shirt, but maybe that's b/c I'm kind of an apple, so I have a tendency to pick things that don't "skim." I thought it was über cute!

dusty- let's see the denim shirt with skinnies and belted...

Okay, here we go - outfits with the two tunics.

The denim with skinnies and a belt

and with belt

(I think I'd like it better if I had a skinny black belt, what do you think?)

I think I'm wearing the red tunic outfit for our family pictures tomorrow. Now I just need to figure out what everybody else is wearing.

I love the red tunic and think a size down with the denim shirt would look great.

I love the white wedges BTW.

The red tunic is oh-so-flattering -- the denim is ok, but agree that it doesn't particularly accentuate your trim figure.
Love the happy green Easter dress, and the new shoes look very cute with it.

Love the denim shirt, but wonder if its a size too big? Looks it in the shoulders to me anyway!

Red tunic is amazing. The way you have styled it is FABBO!!!!

I know that denim on denim is the latest and greatest, but I think that denim tunic would really pop with white jeans and a belt that doesn't give a western vibe. Maybe you do need to size down...
