K/R me on spring pieces. If spring ever comes

Okay, hive mind, what do you think? think most of it is going back but there are two pieces I like. Won’t say more that that for now.

Most of the clothes are new except basic tees. Shoes are not I made a marginal effort to pick suitable ones but please don’t consider any of this a fully rendered outfit.

quick ETA: I've actually had the Bing jeans since last year, so they're not new accessions. I'm just glad my daughter didn't steal them as she wished.

This is fun

I like the Parker blouse, the Vince pleated skirt (which surprised me) and the lilac Pilcro jeans . The Vince henley top is good too. Could you size down in the Parker blouse? Also like the Anine B jeans.

Like the jeans blue and lilac,white boots,blue flouncy top,I think the 2tees are a little large for you,not keen on the blue skirt.Hope this is helpful!

My pick is the green pleated Vince Skirt - it is very fresh and flattering and looks great with the footwear. The other skirt is not as good proportions wise in my opinion.

I also like the jeans - both pairs. I like the lilac ones better though.

I am torn on the jacket and the first blouse - the first one is quite a statement and looks a bit more of a "romantic/theatrical"style than you usually wear... The jacket I do like but I don't love.

I like the green skirt and the dark slides.

Hmm well I like everything here, except the striped tee.
I especially like the green skirt too :).

Love the flowered top and butterfly jacket- great statement pieces.
Pants in 6/7 are cute (love hint of color)
I know others are not- but I am a big fan of 3/4 sleeves so I like the tee & henley. It is not your average SS or LS look. That said- exception is always a boat neck whether or not it is a solid or stripe. Love boat neck look....my favorite neckline in knit fabric.
I love teal and its a super cute skirt- I am just not a fan of the mid length on most people (and especially on me). The black skirt is a classic and you would probably get a lot of wear but again I am not loving the length. I think you have a great looking body and I think the length of skirts do not do it justice---- ( Crazy me would get them and shorten them- totally defeating purpose- lol) but that is just me.
Footwear is fab....all of them.

I love the floral blouse - it’s fab on you. I also like the green pleated skirt - looks great especially with the long sleeved top and the mules. The jeans are nice too. I am not so very fond of the jacket.
It will be interesting to know which pieces you like, please let us know what you decide.

I love the flower top but maybe you need a smaller size. I also love the embroidered white jacket and the lavender jeans on you. Let us know which are your picks.

I like the floral blouse and the teal pleated skirt. I'm surprised by the skirt - other than the color it's not a shape that I'd gravitate toward, but it's surprisingly elegant and flattering on you!

hmmm...
i love the jeans, the green Vince pleated skirt, the Parker silk blouse. i like the the Zadig & Voltaire jacket, and vince mules (and will be honest, i own them but have struggled to style them; but in fairness we also haven't had the right weather)

So, the two items I like best are the floral blouse and the emerald skirt. Both are outliers in shape for me, but I was drawn to them because of the colors.

The floral blouse I really want to keep, but it's the smallest size. This is the reason I don't have any wrap-front blouses: small and don't fill them out! But I love the color and the sleeves and the tie. Can I keep it?

And the green skirt I kind of love. I am short and usually long things just swamp me but I think the way this one drapes makes it ok.

I thought the lavender jeans were pretty good but was on the fence. Maybe I'll keep after all.

I wanted to love the white butterfly jacket because it has a really nice subtle pastel color palette and embroidery, but I don't think the shape is flattering enough.

The pink ballet tee I might exchange for a larger size because it's definitely too tight. The white henley I'm still thinking about -- it's a little transparent and I'm not going to wear a cami under it in warmer weather.

I like the floral silk shirt, the Vince skirt and the lilac pants ( a LOT). The silk shirt does look a little big but it's very fun. Could you hem the sleeves a bit?

UmmLila, you and I have similar taste sometimes despite what I assume is the big difference in our height and body type. You look so petite in your pictures! I was also attracted to the Parker blouse because the colors work perfectly with my wardrobe. I found the shoulders possibly too narrow, and liked it better when the snap was undone, but then of course it becomes much too low a v-neck. I think I need to have the snap moved but want my tailors opinion to see if it can be done easily without damage to the fabric.

I’m still waiting for the Vince Skirt. It looks great on you. I love the length and the color. I wonder how long it will be on me? Probably a few inches below my knees? LOL! (I’m not that tall.)

Shortening the sleeves on the blouse is a good idea . Does it stay put on your shoulders , or try to fall back ? If you know what I mean....

From just the pics in the OP and without reading any responses, I like the green pleated skirt the best and the lilac jeans second best. I'm pretty partial to the boxy striped tee, but I'm not sure it's your style. The Z&V jacket does not wow me, though the back detail is lovely (I think it's the sleeve fit that bothers me). The floral blouse is probably lovely but so far outside my wheelhouse I can't even judge. The two tees -- white and blush -- enh. I have a personal poison eye for white tops where the doubled-up parts are obviously more opaque than the rest of the shirt. I have returned many a white top for that reason. Blush one is hard to see under the jacket. The black skirt is okay but nowhere near as special as the green one.

Love the floral blouse, local jeans and green skirt. The stripe shirt and the blue skirt are the ones I like least. There is no contest between the two skirts!

I like the floral blouse best - if the sleeves are workable. Also like the blush jacket, and the lilac jeans.

The floral blouse is a keeper for sure.

The Parker blouse is gorgeous on you.

Staysfit, I'm not that short. 5'4". And I've noticed that you and I often like similar pieces and colors.

I can deal with the long sleeves on the blouse, I think. I have a couple of bell sleeve sweaters that don't trouble me over-much (though I do not cook dinner in them.)

My favorites are the first blouse and the green skirt and I see they are yours also. Not crazy about the fit of the jacket or the black skirt. Love the shoes if they are up for discussion.

Yes to:
Blouse (and love the already owned Bing jeans) in #1.

Cropped jeans in #6 (top looks good too)

Entire outfit in #8.

No?
Not wild about the jacket in 3, have no idea why either.

And not wild about the Vince outfit in 12, looks too big on slim you.

Went back and read the comments. I don't think the Parker blouse is too big, it's supposed to be floaty.

And you were right, the lilac Acne belt was huge, even on the new and improved bigger waisted me. I would have to add at least 2 notches for hip wear, and not sure where I can find a leather worker to do the belt justice. Sad because the leather is really nice.
