New blouse, dress & jacket on order - OPINIONS REQUIRED

Hi all,
Just went a bit mad and ordered the following:

Hobbs - Silk navy short sleeve blouse with multi colour horse print
Hobbs - Navy pin stripe fitted Blazer/Jacket (wool)
Henry Holland - Eiffel Tower Print shirt Dress

Now, as you may or may not be aware, I love a quirky print (and can often be found wearing a few at once). What is the opinion on the dress &/or blouse?

MORE IMPORTANTLY:
I've ordered the blazer in my quest for the holy grail (a good quality warm fitted jacket to wear with jeans/leggings/dresses for my layered look). I am a slight pear shape, small busted & hope this may suit my style - while not looking too formal?
As a side note I LOVE Angie's Smythe jacket she wore recently with the equestrian feel - cannot find anything like it in the UK unfortunately - unless anyone knows different.

Any opinions/advice greatly appreciated.

All three look great to me! I especially love the navy top! Blazers can be a little tricky to fit on me, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this one works for you

So cute and quirky! I would love to see you in that dress! Adorable.

The blazer is perfect for the casual look and can be fun with work as well!

Great picks, thumbs up here

I can see all of these in your style, will reserve final judgement for fit and feel reports (and photos), but I think you chose great items.

I love a quirky print, too, so full support from me. The jacket is also quite cute and I think it should be versatile, both for work and casual. Hope it all fits you well!

Jem

Those are great prints! I love the blazer, too. Fingers crossed that they will all fit!

I love your quirky taste Andrea.
I wonder if you've ever seen Joe Brown out of the UK http://www.joebrowns.co.uk/
They seem to have some interesting stuff. I've ordered the catalogue (sent to Canada) just to look at- LOL.

These all look fantastic Andrea - can hardly wait to see them in action!

I really like all of your items, especially the blazer. I hope it fits, because I agree it would be a great layering piece - good luck!

Thanks for the honest opinions everyone.

Patty - ref 'Joe Browns' Clothing - I have a few of their pieces (as I'm based in the UK). The catalogue usually makes me drool over the clothes - so I'm sure you will be too!!

I love the prints and shapes of their clothing (one of my dresses from there is chiffon and has a subtle graffiti/skull print on it). Their sizings can be strange & sometimes the quality varies but overall they work with my style.

I really like these prints. Can't wait to see them on you. I think they'll really work with your style.

They all look pretty. The printed top and jacket have nice waist definition and that jacket should be a go-to piece that works with almost anything including the dress. Great choices.

I like the jacket and the dress!

I love 1 and 2, not so sure about 3. You'd have to style it right so that it doesn't come off as juvenile.
