Tweed pencil skirt - keep or return?

A tweed pencil skirt I ordered from Talbots just arrived. I would appreciate feedback. I think I like it, but I'm not used to this style and so I don't know if it really looks good. I don't want to keep it if it's not fab.

I'm unsure about the best way to wear it, so I posted three options,: blouse untucked, blouse tucked, and tucked with skinny belt. Which do you prefer? If you have other suggestions about how to style this skirt I would be open to them.

Love it. I'm not keen on the shirt tucked but think it's a tad long untucked could you try it untucked with the skinny belt over it? x

It's a beautiful tweed skirt and I think it would look nice styled with a sweater, jacket, or vest over it. You are looking sharp!

Keep! I love tweed and this skirt is great for a tenured professor such as yourself. :)

I like it tucked with the skinny belt!

Shape is great. Fit is great. Wonderful Mad Men vibe--you can have a lot of fun with tops--a keeper!

Agree with Marianna and San on styling - tucked, belt with a cardigan or jacket. Looks fab!

I think it looks great- KEEP!! I like it with shirt tucked in, would love to see it with cropped jacket and boots.

KEEP! I also love it with the shirt tucked in, both with and without the belt.

Great skirt, I think you can do a lot with it. My favorite is tucked in with a belt, because it looks the most balanced, but when you start adding layers it wouldn't really matter.

I love it, keep it, it's a great skirt. I especially like it with the blouse tucked in and with a belt.

I have such a soft spot for tweed, so I say the skirt is a keeper. Have fun with it! :-)

Thanks for all the comments! Everyone is so positive, I think I have to keep it. :-)

I really appreciate all the suggestions for how to wear it...that is my next challenge. Fitted sweater, cropped jacket, vest, biker jacket...these suggestions are giving me great ideas.
