I ordered the BR tweed jacket I tried on here, plus the pretty patterned bomber jacket Suz recommended, and they're both here!

First of all, I threw in the top in #1 with the Loft order, decided to keep, and wore it today.

Next, here are the jackets.

First up is the bomber. #3-5 are a PM and #6-8 is a PL. Love the print. It's exactly the kind of non-cutesy floral I like, but also nothing like anything I own, and the black background makes it especially versatile. And I think I like the shape, but am not 100% sure this looks like it's supposed to on me. As for the size, I think I like the PM better open and from the back because it looks less boxy and hints a little at my shape, but the PL looks better closed, which I probably wouldn't wear as much.

Next is the tweed jacket. I loved it in the store and still love it. #8-10 is a 10P and #11-14 is a 10 regular, which is what I originally posted the pic of from a store try-on in the last thread. I might actually like the non-petite one better since it's a little longer, which seems like it would be more versatile, and it looks better closed. About the back view on the regular: After I saw #13, I wondered why the pic of the back I snapped in store looked so much better when it's the same exact size. I honestly think something about the angle where I take my back pictures makes it look worse than it is. I balance my phone on a low dresser, so it's not really level with me. I think that I stoop a little to make sure I get what I want in the view, and also that the camera angling up at me somehow makes the folds in fabric look like rolls of back fat when (I promise!) it's just the fabric itself. So I realized that, if I closed my closet door to make a nice backdrop instead of showing all the messy clothes hanging in there, I could take a picture with the phone on my other, higher dresser. So that's #14.

#15 and #16 are a pair of black drawstring pants I thought might be nice to have as an alternative to jeans for casual weekend stuff. #15 is a petite, which I can wear either rolled up to ankle length or unrolled. #16 is regular, which, I need to wear rolled up to wear at all. Shown with a Gap sweater I threw in with the BR order because I thought a lighter-colored sweater might be fun for a change. I thought I liked it at first but, the more I look at it, the more it looks like something to wear to an eighties aerobics class.

Thoughts on whether to keep any or all of these and on sizing? All comments welcome! Thanks for looking and for your continued patience with me and my attempts to crowdsource jacket fit.
