Goodwill and sale shopping - keep or return(toss)?

I've got a few things I need opinions on, girls

1 & 2. JcPenney clearance blouse. I love the slit sleeves and the color but I'm not sure on the fit. This is a small and I'm afraid it's too small but they were out of mediums and the large was definitely too big. I'm thinking I'd like it better with a different color skirt. Keep?

3. JcPenney clearance top. Super batwing sleeves with slits. The dots on the front are gem cut silver studs. I'm thinking about wearing this to the roller derby next weekend.

4 & 5. Goodwill velvet dress. I'm 99% sure this is actually vintage because it only has a tiny little tag with size and color, but I can't be sure of the year. I love the trim and the long-tailed bow on the back. Is there a good way to dress this down a bit so I can get more use out of it?

6. Goodwill skirt, Target clearance jacket. I'd definitely wear this skirt with dark hose or leggings and most likely with my knee high lace up boots when they arrive.

7. and just because I can't resist, the Princess in her Christmas outfit.

Thanks girls!

I LOVE the 80's cobalt blue top in #3! It's KILLER.

Of course Angie would beat me to saying it, but the one that really popped out to me was #3. Wowzer! I'm ho-hum on the others. One idea to dress-down the velvet dress is to try it with a short denim jacket and a studded belt (under the jacket). It looks a little big on you though and I don't love it.

ha- the only thing I'm not loving is the blue blouse. But Angie has spoken so carry on

#3 is clearly the FIND. I'd like to see a different shot of the velvet dress. The others are nice but don't seem amazing - that's how thrifting is, though, so if you're going to play around with them, at least they were cheap!

Hard to tell about the fit of the first top, since it's tucked into that high-waisted skirt. I certainly do love those colors on you. The blue bedazzled top seems perfect for roller derby! I like the black velvet dress, but I wonder if it's your style? The black blazer and skirt look cute--how is the fit on the jacket? (hard to tell because it's black and your arm is holding the camera) Is it a bit oversized like a BF jacket? Could be a versatile piece for you!

Daughter is adorable, it goes without saying :)!

I think the only one that really does you justice is the blue top. I'd keep the blue top and donate or return the rest.

I like #1/2 but can't see it well enough to say about fit. I like the sort of watercolor peacock feel. #3 is a bit too 80's influenced for my taste, but that's just me.

Like the blue top - nothing new here.
Something is off for me in that velvet dress - maybe too high neckline... I feel it does not do you justice.
The skirt seems nice - maybe not exciting but a nice basic if you neet it.

Keep #3 and #7.
