Hello everyone.
I am trying to decide if this is a keeper.
If so, does it fit?

I would roll up the pants or wear ankle strap sandals.

New shirt from Zara, many of my tops would work with this, it is an all season fabric.

I tried up one size on the blazer and it looked sloppy.
The pants are fine, up a size they fall off, down too tight.
I have linked the blazer.

Thank you!
Should I just keep the pants?
I do not own a suit of any kind

It is hard to see the neckline of that jacket in your pic, but I love the notched collar and know it must look fab on you. I think this is really nice from what I can tell, and I am strongly in favour of a suit. Where do you envision wearing this, Jean? It would be a spring/ summer/ early autumn piece with shorter trousers, correct?

Thank you Suz, I see my hair is covering the collar.
Yes , 3 seasons. I can see it with booties in the fall and spring.
I could wear it to openings, appointments, school meetings, church. I could also dress it up I think for some special occasions.

I like it, but also note that it's a RATE fit, not a sharp and polished one. I don't know if you have leanings and feelings about that when it comes to a suit.

I do like this one...You just look special in the suit with your lovely hair...I would keep the jacket and have a suit...There are times that such a style is appropriate and necessary...

That's a fun look with the Birks (despite my poison eye for same...)

And now we see the collar detail.

I think you should keep it. It's a great jacket that will also look fantastic with jeans. Did you know I bought a suit at our Boston meet up? Well, I have been wearing the jacket (which has some similarity to this one) with alarming regularity. I wear it mostly with jeans and white denim. And love it.

Thank you everyone,
The jacket is a very different cut for me, I am used to a more fitted type.
I do not mind RATE, actually this seems quite polished for me.
I only wonder if I should hold out for a more flattering cut and just keep the pants although the color is one I will never find.
Maybe it is just flattering enough?

Jean, here's the jacket of my suit -- you may see the similarities. Also looser than I was used to. But really love it on.

How is the fabric on the jacket you've chosen? If the fabrication is nice, that's another reason to keep.

Oh , that does look great on you Suz, you are so helpful and generous.
The fabrication is quite nice and it is so hard to find suits in unusual colors, for me anyway.
It does look quite like the one I bought.
Have you heard of Trouve?
I do not know the brand.

Love that taupe/mushroom shade on you Jean. So beautiful with your coloring. And I adore the "individuality" of this suit - the drapey trousers rolled, the notched color - these things make this your suit. Love it!

The suit is a definite keeper. The color is a nice neutral and once you have that jacket in your closet, you'll find that you probably have a number of items that you can wear with it. The pants look fabulous on you as well.

Another vote to keep! Though probably moot after Angie has ruled ^^ The color and fit look spot on, and the pants are super rolled up. I think the softness of the suit, both coloring and fabrication, along with the clean slightly oversized lines will make it work beautifully for your casual style. So nice to see you Jean

I love this on you, Jean! I tend to have a poison eye for this color and it so clearly works for you that I'm really drawn to it. The shape is modern, but easy to wear in a lot of situations. I like the smaller size best.

The color won me over right away. And the notched collar in the second picture. Keep!
