Are these potential new items for fall (on sale at 6pm.com) worthy of adding to my wardrobe?
Please note: It's HOT; it's the end of the day so I have flat hair, itchy eyes, and no lipstick; and nothing is styled (i.e. the blue camisole is simply what I had on, not what I'd actually wear with these pieces.)

#1: BC low metallic loafers. I feared they would be stiff as the material is pretty heavy, but they are actually pretty cozy once they are on. They are more or less flats with a slight "lift."
Backstory: I've wanted a pair of metallic shoes but couldn't find just the right pair - the metallic Me Too Kaden was pretty sparkly. Cole Haan wedges were more than I wanted to spend at retail price and sold out of my size in the metallic colors I liked by the time they went on sale. I spotted a cute pair of Born flat loafers, but I find a slight heel is much more wearable with my dresses (and more comfortable to my feet) than a totally flat shoe.
I'm thinking these shoes are a KEEP unless I'm convinced otherwise.

#2: Tahari animal print dress (purple and brown.)
The fit of this dress is very similar to my white and red coral patterned Tahari wrap dress, which was my reason for trying this out. (My wrap and poly-knit dresses are getting SO much wear!) I love that the purple is so prevalent and think the mixed scale of the animal print is fun, but I'm not sure I love the print placement in the front. Does it over-emphasize the tummy? Are you seeing "maternity dress" here? That's the LAST thing that I want.
I'm undecided on the verdict for this one.

#3-4: Tahari purple wrap dress; small digital print to look like sequins, though the material is actually a flat poly-spandex knit.
Again, the fit is quite similar to my existing Tahari wrap dress and to #2. I didn't think too much of this dress when I saw it in the small thumbnail on the website, and I do have other purple dresses. However, when I saw the close-up of what the print actually looks like (#4) I was REALLY swayed. I'm convinced that I can play up the bright colors with my magenta cardigan or pumpkin shoes.
I'm leaning towards KEEP.

ETA: I should also mention that part of the reason that I'm stocking up so much on poly/spandex knit dresses is not only do I find them very comfortable, but I'm also going to be moving to an apartment soon with a communal laundry room (insert frowny face.) While I'll certainly use the washing machine, the fact that it won't be in my unit and will cost money means that I'll probably try to make use of items that can be re-worn often without frequent washing (jackets) or that can be hand-washed and hung to dry easily (modal delicates and poly/spandex dresses fit in this category, and of course my bras do too.) So that's part of the method to my madness.
