Wow ladies! Thank you ALL for the fabulous comments and feedback, I really appreciate it Lots of orange blazer+denim love, and I'm so glad to hear that because I wasn't too sure about it when I wore it!
Sarah, oooh I bet your purple plaid gingham would be awesome to mix with polka dots! Are you still wearing it? Seems like a great spring top!
AJ, thanks for the detailed comment! About the necklace in #1 being my first statement necklace, I KNOW RIGHT? I have lots of fun pendants and long necklaces, but nothing that packs a PUNCH like this one does. I'm officially smitten with them now! The top in #1 is super duper comfortable, the knit doesn't seem to make it pull but the blouse is a bit loose all over which probably helps.
Krish, thank you also for such a great detailed comment! The ivory booties are very comfortable, all day walking shoes for me and I'd definitely recommend them. By Ciao Bella, style "Glorious" and are still for sale by Sears, though I purchased mine maybe 2 years ago. Skinnies+heels are a signature look for me, I'm really into my kitten heels right now so I'm glad to hear you think they look fresh!
Kelly, another great detailed comment I think the orange+denim column will work with denim walk shorts, if it's too hot for long jeans already for you. I wonder if long-over-short with walk shorts would work with high-low tops? If the walk shorts are really tapered I would think that they'd work well with high-low looks if you could keep the footwear dark to draw they eye down.
