Are you kidding me? That blouse looks amazing on you. I love picture 1 and 2. LOVE.

Thanks everyone! Looks like the blouse is a keeper. I agree it's too long untucked with the skirt, I just needed to show you all the length. I'm hoping it will work as both a casual and a formal item for me.

Ornella, I do need a truly non-UWP wardrobe for work. I'm not sure there are any UWP looks suitable for court or professional meetings - though I'd love to know if there are!

Mochi, thanks for the tip! I am worried about tearing this - between kid, dog and cat (as well as general clumsiness)! I figure it's as good a bargain as I'll get on one of these shirts, and if it gets destroyed, I'll have learned my lesson.

The sweater may not be a great color for me - I'll post some new photos. I am excessively pale (for me) right now, at the height of the winter season.

All your thoughts are much appreciated, as always!

The blouse's colors look gorgeous on you and as others have said, this will be sharp for work with the skirt (or play with jeans).

It's pretty sheer, so for work I'd try layering a long-sleeve T under it unless you're topping it with a jacket/sweater. Bonus: warmer!

Generally, people who look amazing in colors like those in the blouse can't wear things the color of the sweater whether they are "winter pale" or not, ha.* I know it's cozy, but I vote "no" for this color on you...maybe it comes in deeper neutrals?

* I know it's all relative, but this struck (super-pale) me as super-funny given your lovely rich skintone!

I saw this blouse irl and it's gorgeous. Plus, you can't beat that price - I vote keep! I like it best tucked into the skirt and agree that it would look great untucked with jeans.
