Thanks, shevia!
Caro, I tried a semi-tuck but didn't photograph it. I like the tuck in front and untucked in the back, but it was the in-between part that I didn't really like with the jacket.
Thanks, everyone, for your votes on tucking versus untucking the blouse. I wore it tucked, because I thought it was probably more flattering. But I kind of liked it untucked, and now with your encouragement I'd wear it that way next time, for a change and a more casual look.
Aida, yes, no rain is nice. It made outfit 4-7 possible! I've been wanting to wear that one for a while and needed the right day.
gauche, I have been wanting to wear the vest with that dress in outfit 1 for a while, too--but I had to make the vest first! Finally did it. I'm flattered you thought the jacket was a vintage designer piece. You can't see it in these photos, but the trim on the yokes in front and back is zipper teeth from a zipper that matches the one down the front of the jacket.
AM, glad you liked the first one. I adore the print in that dress, too. I was much more into scroll prints when I got it several years ago, but I still like it. In the last outfit, maybe there's just not enough contrast. The colors, per se, are typically good ones for me.
