What a way to start the celebrations!!!! Happy early birthday !

Lovely pieces and can see them all fitting nicely in your current wardrobe! Can't wait to see the velvet duster!!!!

Jenn, I wonder if the skirt would be better NOT in black?

That's a thought, Angie. It comes in a lot of colors and there were several that caught my eye.

I really prefer my black clothes to show some skin for balance, so that would explain why I like it worn as a dress so much better than as a long skirt...but I have plenty of black dresses already! i woke up this morning leaning towards returning again. Maybe I'll just keep another color in mind for the next time I do a GS order. This is more a whim than a need, anyway.

Something about the black feels off for that skirt! And YES - return it.

You know your wardrobe and thinking are in a good place when you can easily make the decision to return items that fit, are very you, look good etc, but aren't quite good enough to earn their place. The dress makes the cut (love the palette with your hair!).
