Honest opinions needed!!!!

Ladies,
I always appreciate you comments, so I have some goodies waiting for your approval. Sales are about to finish and even good stores have everything with 50% or 60% off.. I couldn't resist but I can return if I don't like it!
1. tan dress - I like it, it's girly and fun but really different from what I use to buy. Is it flattering?
2. faux fur vest - It was so cheap and the quality is excellent, it's warm and gives a touch of sofistication to any outfit, please say yay because I'm in love with this one.... just kinding... honest opinions!
3. Chunky cardi - I'm really not sure about about this one, it's so soft, but I'm not sure is it is flattering...maybe to wear on weenkend, to the grocery?
4. Dark purple dress - I really like it. Is it a 10?

Rute- I really like it all. If I had to choose between the 2 dresses I'd choose the purple one, but if you like it all, I'd keep it all.
the cardi looks like a great casual piece for you. You have really scored the sales!

The purple dress is my favorite, but I'm with Queenie. They all look good and have remix potential!

I like the two dresses as the best looks - but would also keep the cardi for remix. Love the purple dress with the necklace!

Rute, both dresses are lovely and versatile. If you can only keep one, then the purple gets my vote.

Chunky cardi - perfect for fall. Keep!

Fur vest - Angie's seeing a lot of fur on the runways for fall. I'll be curious to see what she thinks.

You are so lovely!

I like all- purple dress- most!

Vest -I think I would like better with less volume in dress or maybe jeans.
Not sure about color on tan dress- can you do earth tones?

Great finds, Rute! I love the swooping shape of the cardi. Very cool. Purple dress is a definite keeper.

The black furry vest seems like it has potential, but I have no idea regarding how to style it. The one I have reservations about is the tan dress. Like greenglove, I am wondering whether earth tones work with your complexion. Perhaps you can wear a jewel-tone scarf or something next to your face with the dress?

The purple dress and the cardi both look very, very nice on you! I think the fur vest needs something slim underneath, imho it does not work with the dress. As some of the others, I'm not sure about the tan dress, especially with the bare legs look and the tan shoes. I don't know whether it might be styled with a bit more contrast?

Don't you already have a faux fur vest? Do you need two? Just a thought!

I prefer the purple dress over the tan. The cardi is great!

1. tan dress - I really like the cut, but I'm also unsure about the color on you.

2. faux fur vest - I'm not a fan of this with the dress, it looks entirely bulky, as though you're hiding underneath. It would be great to see a picture of it with pants - my fear is that it will add too much bulk to the top and look unbalanced on top of your pretty legs.

3. Chunky cardi - I really like this one, it seems like you could throw it on over almost any shirt and pants combo, and maybe even with the right dress or skirt! The shape is very cool. I say keep!

4. Dark purple dress - Love it! It looks like a 10 from this picture at least!

Well it seems that everybody likes the purple dress, I guess I'll use it tomorrow!

As to the faux fur vest, Marianna, I have a small faux fur vest but it doesn't close at the front, it's just to put on the shoulders to spice up a special outfit.
This one I was planning to use for the day (perfect for my office which is terrible cold)... I won't use it with the tan dress (after taking the pictures I saw right away that this outfit has too much volume.. photos are such a help!), maybe with jeans and a white shirt?

Oh.. I forgot to mention:

it's not a question of money because those items were really cheap (they were such a find!), I can keep all or none, its a question of keeping only what suits me best!

Greenglove, I'm not sure about the color of the tan dress either, I do look great in brown and orange.. but this one I'm not sure.

#4 and #3 are my faves and I will give them each a 10, but #1 has too much volume in the front for you and #2 makes you look much bigger, I'm actually surprised you like that look on yourself, because it hides all your wonderful curves!!!

I like the shape of the first dress but I am not sure of the color.

The purple dress is a 10! I happen to like the rounded hem cardi. It looks great with skinny jeans.

I'm not a fan of the fur vest, but I'm never really a fan of fur vests. They remind me of Sonny Bono, so I can't be objective :\

Thank you ladies!
So I'll keep 3 and 4 and return 1 and 2. We don't wont too much volume, that's for sure!

Rose

I know you've decided, but I agree with you and the majority here: I love 3-4 on you, and vote for return on 1-2

I'm not going to look at the other comments yet...

The first dress is cute, I really love the flirty skirt on it. I'm not so sure about the empire waist and the color. So I would vote no, but maybe you could style it for us in a few different ways?

You can make anything look good with skinny jeans and heels, but I'd vote no on the sweater. I think if you're justifying it for grocery runs you probably know the answer.

I love the vest and the purple dress!! Definitely keep those!

Kristine You are so right!
After all I decided not to keep the chunky cardi, I experimented on the house and it make me felt big, so I knew I must send it back!
I kept the purple dress.
Thank you for your compliment on the skinnies! Everytime I use it I feel so insecure.. I'll have to deal with this phobia!

Fab purple dress, Rute! I vote keep the empire cut fatigue dress too. That type of look and colour goes down well in Southern Europe :0)

You rock the skinnies and heels look. Yay for you!

Thank you so much Angie! I will keep the empire cut dress too! I'm glad you liked it! It's comfy and well made and I really liked it!
