Alright:
I've decided to sell the jacket - indeed, I'm not used to having something "too long" and I'm not in love with it, so trying to make it work doesn't excite me. It was an impulse buy a few years ago. Off it goes!
I'm keeping the blue blouse, and will wear it later this week with a cardi or something to show you all - I put it on this morning put took it off, mostly because puff sleeves are a little new to me. :) I'll play around with it to find a fun look.
I've asked how much it would cost to alter the size of the cream blouse, and the seamstress thought it would be at least $50... I'll hold onto it so I can get a second opinion (I will NEVER return to the place I asked because of the terrible hemming that was done) and alter it later in life.
I'll get my skirt altered and wear the last blouse with it.
Huzzah! Thanks for all your help!
