K/R several recent purchases (pic heavy)

Finally home from work travel and would love your opinion on some recent purchases!
1 - 9: VC tube skirt. K/R? Inclined to keep, as it is pretty versatile and also on the casual side, and it somewhat mimics the look of a black and white striped Burberry Prosum skirt I love (but is $3000). (Skirt shown with Rag&Bone top, Jcrew citron tunic, JCrew black tippi, Tory Burch leather jacket, black crepe bomber, CM Franny sweater)
1-2, 7: also shows a hi/lo Rag & Bone T that I got on deep sale at Christmas for my daughter but decided against giving. It's an XS and I might have bought myself a S. Should I keep or consign? (She will not love or appreciate this.)
3-4: Also shows JCrew citron tunic. I love the feel and color of this sweater, but I realize now how sheer it is. I am wearing a dark taupe cami under it (all I could quickly grab). I could wear a white muscle tee in the summer for more casual. K/R?
10: Just for fun and apoplexy. A pair of my JCrew ankle pants, not tapered.
11-12: Recent impulse consignment purchase. So not me because it is drapey but it will be practical. It's a silk tunic dress with a tiny elephant print, super easy, and perfect for Puerto Rico in June. May give to my more eclectic older daughter after the vacation. What do you think?
Thanks for looking and chiming in.

The skirt is perfect on you! I am not moved by the tee. The citron tunic is a great color and I like it with the skirt. Would it be versatile enough to keep? The dress doesn't seem your usual style, but it would be nice for vacation I'm sure.

The VC tube skirt looks fabulous on you. I love the ways you have styled it. (I have the same skirt and have found that it is, indeed, very versatile… and so comfy!) I adore the citron tunic and would not personally mind the sheerness. I would do just as you did and wear a camisole or tank underneath. Those sheer drapey fabrics feel so wonderful on the body, especially in the warmer months. I also love the butterfly style silk tunic dress. It is lovely on you and will be a perfect vacation dress.

(Forgive me that I cannot comment on the trousers in #10, although the shoes are absolutely killer, Viva.)

Wow. Amazing haul.

#1 - Striped tube skirt is brilliant. Especially killer in #5 and #8.

#1 - The grey high-low top looks a dash small. I vote consign.

#3 - Love the citron tunic. Wear it over a column of colour and you are set.

#11 - Perfect for the setting it was bought for.

Well done. xo

Thanks for guiding me so correctly to the Vince Camuto, Angie. I just love its length, quality, and fit. You were so right.
And thank you for all your comments as well (and for witholding on the pants). I know where you stand.

I can hardly get past the fab shoes! What are they? (Am trying to come up with unlikely occasions that would justify buying them).

Ah, the clothes...love the skirt on you, like the tee and the citron tunic. The dress looks fussy and not like your usual style.

marianna

I love the whole lot! Everything looks really nice on you.

I love the skirt on you, and I really like the citron tunic and hope you can figure out a way to deal with the sheerness. I actually like the pants, the way you styled them (which surprises me, I am not a big fan of cropped pants).

Ginkgo, the shoes are Nine West Graphitos, from last year, which may no longer be available.

I love the skirt (and have one similar) in nr. 6, 8, 9(wow). Then I like the cirron sweater but not really with this skirt as the skirts is grinning through it. But would wear it with white or light grey bottoms. Then I almost liked nr 10. But still, I find them too short, with those heels. Maybe with some flats?

Haven't read any other comments yet...

Keep the tube skirt and Rag & Bone top (it does not look too small).

I'm not sure about the citron top but I think it's because I have owned tops just like this (mine is from T by A Wang and cobalt blue), and have been perplexed about making it work. There's something about the sheerness and length that I find challenging.

The J Crew ankle pants I would prefer seeing in a size up as a slouchy ankle pant. But I'm not sure that's an option. The fitted style is more classic. I'm just preferring my ankle pants loose for the past few seasons.

Love the consignment dress, it does say "holiday." I love how it's loose and cool but you are covered (arms etc.). I would say this was an excellent impulse purchase and I like how you have a future plan for it!

OK .... I love the shoes! If they were current nine west they would have been home by now

I actually love your ankle pants! I am OK with the tapering too. The VC tube skirt is a definite keep.

I am not very sure about the sheer citron tunic. I find sheer tops annoying because the base layer just changes the beautiful color of the top.

The dress is gorgeous too. Although I understand it being not your style. Great finds overall Viva!

The tube skirt is perfect. And obviously versatile. Looks great on you - I'm guessing your legs are much longer than mine, since I think it would stumpify me even if I got a shorter version.

And yes, I love those shoes so much that I might be convinced to try peeptoes.

I'd consign the Rag & Bone tee. I like the citron tunic but I don't have any clever styling ideas. And the dress is such a "beach vacation" dress - great find!

Vicki

Hello VC skirt cousin (I have the wider stripes) and you have such great style. I think all the tops work equally well, and for the citron, perhaps a nude cami or if you want contrast, a white.

Your leather jacket is beautiful and that "impulse" is one of my favorites here! I love everything about it, from the small print to the sleeves. My vote is for you to keep everything. Btw, I love your shoes in 1-2.

Jaime

Love the tube skirt and the shoes with them (did not read carefully enough to see what they are), love the tunic, really look look fantastic and your hair is icing on the cake.

Karie

The VC tube and citron tunic are my favorites. The drapey dress will be perfect for vacation and hot summer evenings. I'd like to see the ankle pants with a bit more tapering at the ankle. Fantastic purchases!

Tube skirt must stay and be worn often!
Sheer tunic tops drive me mad due to the grinning -- with the longer lengths I can't work an underlayer. In general for those modeling the bold stripes I prefer a bold solid color, whatever fits your coloring.
Is it the asymmetrical top that is in question? I really like that hem with the tube stripes. Is it really too small?

Thanks unfrumped. The top in question is the grey short-sleeved t in pics 1-2. (The black asymmetrical hemmed sweater is a definite keep.)

Glory

Some great items here. I love the tube skirt and am waving at my skirt twin! I think the tshirt looks good as well.
The dress will be wonderful on vacation and can even perhaps double as a beach coverup.

Oh, good. I really like that sweater and was worried!

I love the skirt, and citron tunic, and I think the dress is a perfect holiday dress.

Great haul!

April

Oh my goodness -- wouldn't those Graphitos look divine with the Helmut Lang dress that we both don't need?

Oh, April, you have got to stop leading me back to that dress!!!!!
