Keep or Return -- NAS and other -- need help!

Here are the things I can't make up my mind about. Your input is needed! Thank you.

1/2/3 -- Laundry leather jacket, zipped, unzipped and side view. This is to replace a black leather jacket you thought was too dark for my complexion. Is this better? It is a little tight around my bust but the bigger size didn't fit as well in the arms and shoulder.

4 -- Black leather jacket for comparison which I already returned.

5/6 -- Cashmere sweater purchased during NAS. I thought it would be good to go over dolman sleeve tops. It seems to look crooked from the front, even if I try and adjust it. It is now even cheaper than during NAS! I'm not sure how I feel about this sweater, although it seems practical.

I like the new jacket and much prefer it to the black. It's a nice style and color. Still has an edge, but is less harsh. I don't care for the cashmere sweater. It just doesn't do you justice in my opinion. Lastly, you look great today.

I vote yay on the leather jacket (as long as the flap up at the top doesn't tickle your neck), and nay on the cashmere sweater. You look good in the jacket! But the sweater seems too baggy on you and I don't like how the front is shorter than the back. Nice dress though!

I tried on that sweater and although it's something I would live in at home, I didn't feel I could style it well for other uses. And you know I'm all about surrendering the waist. If you can figure out ways to wear it, keep it - so soft and cuddly! In fact, I think it's one of the items I ended up returning.

I am not a big fan of scuba style necks on leather jackets because of the way they can't be folded back. That said, this jacket is a much better color and fits you really well.

I think you look fab today.

Love the jacket. The sweater could be good, but it's almost in Eileen Fisher territory.

I love the new jacket!

I vote return the pullover.

I really like seeing your leg through the slit of your maxi today

I agree with everyone else. The jacket is very flattering on you, both in terms of fit and color. The sweater not so much...

Vix

Love the color of the newest leather jacket on you and the bust fit seems this side of fine to me.

If you are still wavering about the cashmere you could try it over very slim jeans -- I think you MAY just have a pair or 10 -- to see if the volume is in any way do-able. Right now it's all blending with the skirt and looking rather...not up to your standards!

Jenava

Yes, the jacket looks good to me!

I like the sweater but admit you look a bit like an alien monk in it...

I love the maxi (the shoes are pretty cool, too)

Aida

Another vote to keep the first jacket! Not a huge fan of the sweater, I think it needs to be a size down and the sleeves are an odd length (not quite full, not quite bracelet like on the model). Love all your necklaces and the belt with your maxi

Deborah

Love the jacket but not so keen on the sweater. I do like the idea of the sweater but in reality I think I think the shape and the way it hangs is not the best. And you look awesome today.

Freckles

The new jacket is gorgeous on you. Not a fan of the cashmere either.

I adore your outfit today!

Aunty

I have to agree with everyone else. Jacket keep, Cardy looks to big on you. Your WIW is stunning

rute

Love your look! All black and trendy! Love the sandals and the maxi!
Love the jacket but I'm not feeling the pullover..

CocoLion

Thank you for your help! The votes are unanimous ... keep the leather jacket but return the sweater.

I feel that since joining YLF, I am returning more than I used to. My standards are higher.

Glad you are keeping the jacket--you will be able to do a lot with it in cooler weather.

I just had to add my observation to your outfit today. Chic, stunning--I love it.
