Wow thanks very much, ladies!! I really appreciate all the comments. Happy to hear #9 going over so well, that's the kind of 90s influence I'm looking at for this coming fall.
Diana, working trousers in casually is an ongoing pursuit of mine. I've been headed towards less jeans and more trousers the past few years, but the transition is definitely slow going.
Kelly, to be honest I think that fluid fit is almost too easy as an IT! If a top fits the shoulders, the body is almost always looser
Rachy, what's the fear with pinstripes? They're fun and oldschool rude
Viva, I hope the jeans work out for you! The proportions in #4 are an old favorite that seems to be coming around again, wearing a cropped or almost-cropped top with flares and pointy toes. I'm on the hunt for another similarly short top!
Latana, the wardrobe editing is primarily for fit issues. Much of my wardrobe, especially basics, were purchased 2+ years ago and I'm a different size now so some half my things don't fit quite the way I'd like. I can still make them work since oversized is currently in, but I'd definitely be happier in the right size. And of course, there's always the continuing style refinement edits. I'll try to get some weekend outfits posted later this week ^^
Isabel, I got a good feeling about your blush leather jacket this year, blush is getting more and more popular!
SarahTheWhite, big thanks for the detailed comment!
MsKatieKat, yes I'm wearing heels with all the wide pants, 3" for all three of those. I don't wear flats with any of my flared or wide leg bottoms, usually between 2-3".
