  Your make up looks lovely :) The pants look too big imo.

  They look big to me too. I don't care for the jacket but I like the blouse on you!

  Oh - - I hadn't thought about them being too big - I think you might be right!

  Here's  a pic of the same pants (from last year), to see them with no wind.

  And, considering that I need to downsize my clothes, that may be the end for these.

  I'm kinda thinking I'm not a fan of the jacket either. I liked the idea, and I like the color, but it doesn't quite work.

  Yes, too big. Wide legs are tricky to get right, and in my opinion they look best with a fitted topper. You look petite...even trickier to pull off wide legs.

  Lol Aquamarine - in those boots, I'm pushing six feet tall.  Those jeans are so purged :)

  Yep. Yesterday's winners were so much better. You're swimming in these.

  Too bad, I thought the pants looked nice with the top. I really like the top! I don't care for the jacket for some reason.

  In the mirror I thought they did too JAileen.  But that's okay - I'm trying to reduce the number of clothes I own, so if these are less good than others, I'll wear that top with other bottoms :)

  I like the top but want to see some arm. I can't honestly say about the jeans but I think the blue jacket is too big.

  I think you need to size down, Ami.  And that is saying something coming from me - but I don't think this outfit does you justice.

  I agree, all of these pieces seem a bit too oversized. I like the top, but I'd like to see it with perhaps the sleeves rolled a bit, and/or the neckline unbuttoned, and/or a semi-tuck. Right now it is giving off a boxy kind of oversized appearance, and I think one of those adjustments will help it look more fluid.

  I meant to add that I also think your makeup and earrings look fantastic!

  First -- I want to say that you look particularly lovely. Your hair and makeup are just fab! And I love your circle earrings. But I will have to agree with the other ladies that the pants are simply too big on you. Are they worth taking in and narrowing just a tad? If not, I say pass on to someone else.

  Agreed, I like the shirt, but the pants are a bit big.

  Your make-up is gorgeous, you look so cute.

  Amiable, I love how you did the colors in this outfit, but overall I sense too much volume here.  The blouse is long in the arm, the pants seem too large.  I feel like I want to see something adjusted to "shrink-wrap" your clothes around your figure a little bit, like you could do the top with a skinnier pant silhouette, maybe tucking the blouse and belting the waistband of the pant.  Or, I don't know how you feel about waist belts on the outside,  but you could do a low-slung belt over the top and skinner jeans. A silver buckle would be cool with your silver earrings. 

  If you open your shirt neck you have a whole other opportunity to pop in another print or color if you want. And I think a solid back or smaller pattern would be better against the horizontal stripe in your top.
