I'm no help if you are wavering on anything because I think you look great in all of it - and love your haircut!

I love the cardi and the yellow dress, and I think the scuba jacket, too, altho it's hard to judge the fit from the photos - I *think* it's good. I'm not as sold on the other two dresses, I'm afraid - they look a tad poorly made.

Love the KS blackberry case : )

LOVE the scuba jacket and the yellow dress, particularly. I like the blue dress, but I'm not wild on the patterned dress. You are an expert at styling, however, so your vision may certainly win me over to this one, too! And the haircut is amazing!

BTW -- where'd ya find that scuba jacket, and is it lightweight? I'm on the prowl for leather.

My faves are the scuba jacket and the blue dress! How many can you keep, though? They are all cute.

Nice picks, Lyn! I am loving the yellow dress and the scuba jacket. I agree that it's hard to judge the fit of the jacket in the photos. It looks perfect in most shots, but kind of big in another. And the KS phone case is awesome!

I vote for (in order) the Scuba jacket, the yellow midi dress and the navy cardi. The other dresses looks a little girlish for a professional woman of your standing. *winking*

Love the jacket. The navy cardi looks like a nice fitting basic layer which we all need.

I like all of the dresses but none of them are "grabbing" me. I do like the pic with the last dress and the jacket done up and boots. Very cool outfit.

@ Beth Ann - the jacket is not real leather but it is only $12 (Marked down from $78)!!!! It is lightweight and the only one left in the store (Smart Set)... there is a similar one at Guess that is leather, but I didn't check the price.

@ All; I went to return the blue dress and the printed one - there was some kind of weird clerical error, and as a result, they didn't have the code for one or something, so I got the printed dress for free (I don't get it; but they said free; so I was like, okay?) - so I can technically keep the yellow dress too

If I had to say no to any of the items, I'd say I'm not as wild about the patterned dress. But realistically, you look fantastic in everything. I especially like the yellow dress, the scuba jacket and the navy cardi. Great choices!

I like it all with the exception of the blue dress which I do like the look of but it looks a bit flimsy. Great haul.

The yellow dress is nice. Prefer it without a topper, since the scuba jacket (and the boots) looks too heavy/wintery with it, and the cardi goes "frump" in my eye. ??? Maybe it's the combo of flowery print and midi with classic sweater that makes it look a bit granny. No offense, and pictures often look a lot different than the real thing.

However, the yellow print dress is a keeper. Maybe with bare legs and strappy sandals? A lighter look is how I picture it.

The other two dresses I agree with other posters look kind of young and flimsy in construction, but of course I am not seeing them in person.

Your hair looks great! Have fun getting ready for your grad coming up! Did you ever find a fancy dress to wear to the formal banquet?

@ cjh - unfortunately; I'm not going to go to the formal banquet, it's totally priced out of my accessibility range, so my friends and family are going to have a family affair instead! It will be much fun!

I ilke the jacket and the last dress best - there's something about the trimmer skirt of it that I like better on you than the floatier dresses. But I agree that styling will make a big difference too.
