Love it on you, and I definitely prefer the larger size. Keep, if you’ll wear it.

Great update! Good choices.
Sized up top is fab.
I agree, be PPP on your lavender coat— I kind the idea of a more structured reefer coat if one turns up.

MUCH better in the larger size. SUPER CUTE. Keep and enjoy.

That suit is one of the most amazing things I've seen lately. I don't have the life for it; as it is, I feel a bit overdressed for Portland on many days, and I don't have anything nearly this interesting! But if you have occasions to wear it, I think you should keep it. It would be SO FUN to wear (I'm imagining a life of long lazy days at a museum and meeting friends for lunch in the lovely museum cafe).

And the larger size looks fab.

The suit is so mod and fun. The bigger size looks great. I hope you keep it!

OMG, I LOVE it. SOOOOO wishing I had a need for such a thing.

Thanks everyone! I am leaning heavily toward keeping it.

Viva, I love the picture you paint of me wearing it for museum visits. I’ll have to make a point of doing just that! Realistically I think it will see me through job interviews (it’ll work just fine in my field), bookstore events and conference presentations.

Meanwhile the cream Pikolino Oxfords have made it onto my (so far quite short) list of definite keepers. They are just great — beautifully made, versatile and I don’t have anything else like them. They got their first outing today (photos below) and I’m in love with them.

The other definite keepers so far are the copper raincoat and the slinky lavender grey dress. I’m still culling and considering the rest.

Love the suit on you in the second round of photos. I thought the suit looked particularly smashing with the grey flats you're wearing with the first set of photos. And your hair looks great when it's up, which, as you said, is a requirement for this neckline.

I like your color palette and taste in clothes. The soft colors of the outfit in the picture above are so flattering on you.

I LOVE YOUR LAST OUTFIT. KILLER. Smashing Pikolinos too.

Hey copper coat twin! Any solutions for all the extra string-age?
Nice color palette! Not sure about the neckline for suit though, its standing up over your shoulders quite a lot (maybe its from holding the phone).

Definitely keep that stylish suit..head turning! And same for the raincoat.
