I have to agree with Lisa in that the pockets on the Smythe jacket are too large. The stance is a little high on you, but not unwearable. Love the colour, but find the design features on the from (high stance/collar, huge pockets) take away from the beauty of the fit and tailoring.

@Minnie, I am not really sure what to say regarding the sizing of the DVF dress. I think the Linda wrap runs true to size. I went by the size chart and it worked out well.

The wrap dress looks fantastic on you. I don’t care for the jacket very much because of the ginormous pockets, sorry.

DH returned from a business trip, and left again, but while he was home (its his travel season) he rendered his opinion, and so did DS and DD. They all hated the pockets on the Smythe blazer. Suz was right when she noted that the shoulder fit was slightly off. My wardrobe is in good shape and I have no need to spend a lot of money on an item that isn’t quite right in ways that will make me pass it over in favor of something else I like better. Those qualities will lead to it sitting unused. I decided to return it but to look for another topper without these design issues in the same color ——if one exists.

I kept the purple wrap sweater and the wrap dress. The wrap sweater works with most everything and I think I will wear it frequently. It’s the sort of item I gravitate towards on days when I want to feel pulled together but also comfortable.

I found a pair of grey sock boots, not on sale, which I am waiting for because I wonder if that color would work with more in my closet than the navy Aquatalia. I don’t want to buy them just because they are on sale. I want to make sure they are going to be the most flexible color for my wardrobe.

I'm glad you decided to keep the lavender cashmere wrap. It looks wonderful on you. I especially loved the second outfit, with the jeans. Gorgeous. The wrap dress was amazing also.

Everything looked good, so I can imagine how tough it is to choose. I'm glad your family was able to weigh in with some insights.

Echoing others, everything looks great on you. Wow.

My far-and-away favorites are the lavender wrap sweater and the grey wrap dress. Both are stunning pieces, and very flattering.

I'm glad you're returning the tulip blouse, that's my least favorite of your collection.

The blazer is just okay. Great color but as others have said the large pockets are a bit odd, and just in general I'm not a fan of the conservative style so unless you need a piece like that for your wardrobe I'd look for something more fun.
