WIW Summer outfits + new finds

Working on a style refresh, I took everything I did not love out of the closet and hung the remaining favorites together. I discovered a lack of tops, jeans, pants and easy dresses. I got a hair cut and bought some new summer/early fall pieces to fill in. The new pieces are Nordstrom but not Anniversary sale.

Wiw:
1 - working from home, leith dress (old). I don't like the these shoes with it (old) but still like the dress.
8 - dentist appointment and working from home. Looks too conservative to me. (Joe's jeans, banana republic shirt, Sam edelman flats. All old)

New pieces I bought home:
- New haircut but not styled after lots of trying on clothes.
2- Caslon Sweatshirt dress and Adidas, for work from home or weekend
3- Casual date night Vince Camuto blouse and Caslon shorts. I plan to shorten the straps on the top, it is a bit bare.
4- Halogen work dress (not sure I love this, what do you think?)
5- Wit and Wisdom jeans and Caslon tank top weekend outfit
6- Wit jeans and topshop sweater- (don't like the sweater, what do you think?)
7- Mavi pants and old Banana republic top. These pants are a soft and thick fabric, highly recommend if you like this style.

I welcome any suggestions on how to style these, toppers or accessories that might look good. Thanks.

OMG: I am CRAZY for #s 6 & 8! You are gorgeous, btw!

Scarlet

5 is my best. You look happy in it and up-to-date. I like 1, actually. The blouse is pretty on you, but if it's not the look you are aiming for, there you go. 2 is a completely different look and very cute. If there is anything you don't love, I wouldn't keep it unless you can't get out the door without those items. Ideally you should love everything you buy. Great Mavi jeans! One thing that comes to mind as a suggestion is that you could choose colors and accessories that play off your striking blonde hair. I think that is something Angie does to great effect.

You have a pretty, feminine style that suits you. My favorite is 5. Agreeing with Scarlet...return the pieces that you don't love, After all your hard work with your wardrobe, you don't want to add anything that does not have a high happiness factor.

I'm sorry but you look fabulous in everything and have styled it to perfect!

The only thing that is "off" is the first outfit, which is very conservative compared to the others, as you mention.

I love your olive pants and will check out Mavi.

Thanks for the nice comments and suggestions.
Scarlett, you're right. Anything kept should be loved, good idea about looking at the colors and accessories that work well with your hair color.
Thank you!

#2, 6 (I actually really do like that sweater... love the color and diagonal hem), and 7 are my favorites.

I'm with you on #4... I don't love that dress on you as much as the other looks. It's not bad, but I'm thinking it's not the most flattering shape on you... the other outfits suit you much better, to my eye.

You're absolutely gorgeous and have great style across a range of looks. As rachylou pointed out, you've got a bit of rock n' roll edge in some of these outfits, and I love it. Works great with your hair, too.

Wow, everything looks good when you're built like a model!

Since you look great in all of it, the only suggestion I can make is buy what you love and what feels like *you*.

You look FABULOUS. WOW. It's wonderful to see you post again. Fun to see your NAS stuff working well too.

#3,4 and 6 are my KILLER faves.

Hair looks good. Everything looks good, actually. Some gold shoes with the last dress maybe?

Thanks everyone for the nice comments and the confidence boost. You are so kind and your suggestions are much appreciated.
@skylurker, thanks for the idea. It seems like figuring out the shoes is such a big part of this. The outfits that feel a little off could be improved with the shoes.
@Angie, thanks for the boost, it feels good to focus on a style refresh and its making sense, thanks to so much good advice here.
