keep or return (updated better pics and more items)

I went thrifting today and got several things I wanted to get everyone opinion on if these are things that I should keep or take back to the store in the next few days. Sorry about the poor pic quality I had to use my phone the camera was dead opps!

#1-Purple dress - I went ahead and threw this pic in there but I think this is a poor fit for me so it will probably go back
#2- Blue and white stripe top this is a tad big but I normally have to size up with button down shirts
#3- red & white polka dot skirt and white tank
#4- black and white polka dot skirt-
#5- Green button down shirt and yellow flowered skirt- is this skirt too dated? (see pic #8 for better look at pattern)
#6- red patterned tank top- I thought that this would be good with my black skirt
#7- 2 scarfs that I picked up I really love the blue and white scarf and the red and blue is just kind of a fun pattern I think.
#8-skirt from #5- since this pattern is not very visible in the pic I added a close up of the skirt.
#9- black tank top

So how did I do? Please ignore the lack of styling in the pics I was just throwing stuff on to get a better idea of fit etc...
If anyone has ideas on how to style these things please feel free to give suggestions.

It's really hard to tell with these pics honestly. But I don't think the purple dress is the best shape - it seems short and square From what I can see, the skirts in 3 and 4 seem fine and 6 looks like a fun print but not sure about the length . . .

#1- like the color- too small

#2-too large

#3- keep- pretty

#4- skirt keep- cannot tell about the fit of the shirt from the picture

#5 I do think the skirt is too dated

#6- yes

scarves look lovely!

Mo - I agree with you the pics were not the best I managed to con my oldest into taking some new pics for me! Hope that the new pics help! Yes the dress is too square and short for my comfort and it is the wrong size that is a deff return.

greenglove- I was thinking the same about the 1st dress but thought I'd be brave and post it anyway. I'm very bad at judging how things fit me in general in the not too distant past the shirt in #2 would be a norm for me.

3 and 4 look great! I agree that #1 is not a great fit. I'm not wild about 2 or the skirt in 5. Love the pattern of 6, but is it long enough? 9 looks nice, and the scarves are fun!

I think the shirt in two could be made to work if you really like it but you may need to belt. I really like the skirt in #4 and the white t-shirt looks like a good basic. The scarves look great too.

The first dress isn't working but you know that already.

I like the shirt in 2 and the skirt in 4. Very flattering.

Thank you everyone I hid all the items that I returned to the store. I ended up with a store credit and got some other things to replace them and still have a credit yippee.
Here are some of the things that I picked up. What do you think did I do better? I also wanted to say thank you to everyone that posted their thoughts I tend to be my own worst critic. The 1st dress I think looks a bit little house on the prairie as is but with the right accessories like a great belt do you think it will work?

I'd love to see the dress with a wide belt, the collar popped and the sleeves scrunched or rolled up. I really like the blue and white stripes!

Bionda I was thinking the same thing for the dress
