I adore cobalt so I am biased in favor of those outfits and #3 has a slight edge because it has the white jacket that looks so crisp against the gray patterned top.

The top in 2 doesn't look too short to me. I think the jeans are close to being perfect--it's hard to tell from the photo but I can see on the back leg how the fabric buckles a bit. That happens with some of my straight leg jeans too and I'm too lazy to hem. Perhaps with washing they will shrink up a bit. Love the high contrast skirt with booties in 1. LOVE 3 and 4 too. That Spiegel looks amazing on you!

I like the booties with the tapered midi also!

This is the first time for me wearing a skirt with high contrast booties, and I was surprised how much I like the result.  It is getting colder so pretty soon I will need to figure out the hosiery issue but for now I was good with bare legs. What do you think? The second outfit I liked in the mirror but when I got home and took a picture I realized it wasn't all that good.  The grey in the bag does not quite work with the top (I think I need to pair my navy or red bag with this top for a more contrasting look), and the length looks borderline too short for pants.  I guess I will continue wearing it with skirts (as in another WIW from a couple of weeks ago, #3).   My main question is what do you think about the length of the jeans - should I hem them shorter, is it too much scrunch?  I have another pair of these jeans hemmed for flats (#4) - are these better with booties or too short?  Do I need an in-between length?
