WIW: Serenity Blue Column

When I posted my blush and pale blue ( serenity) capsule, there was some interest in the crops that I had recently added and not photographed. Here they are plus some other pieces from the capsule.
They are actually a little longer but I thought this length looked more deliberate. What do you think of the length? Would longer be better?
Do these blues look ok together? The pants are a combination of five grey and blue, but next to grey they look blue.
White flats are Steve Madden and bag is thrifted as is the EF cardigan.
Pants are an off brand from Marshall's.

Cropped pants and tunic top

An outfit inspired by Angie's ensemble post today. I rarely wear such open shoes, but liked these with the outfit.
The last photo is to show the side slits of the tunic. In motion they seem to help leg length by revealing more leg. The jeans are my DIY frayed crops.
Tunic is an old silk Citron of Santa Monica piece. That I had been going to shorten until realizing that variety in lengths might be a good thing.
Shoes are older SE wedges that reminded me of Oakalas
Does this look ok?

Capsule for my citron ankle pants

Angie's post inspired me to do a small capsule for my own citron or light yellow gold ankle pants. I wish that I could like directly to my capsule but will try to put it in Finds on this post. Theses are the items that seemed to work when trying things on. I stuck to white as the neutral. I am posting this in hopes to inspire others to make capsules. Would you make any eliminations? Do you see holes?

My Rose Quartz (Blush) and Serenity Blue Capsule for Skylurker

I need to update this capsule but maybe this will be helpful. These colors feel fresh worn together. I've recently added a silky blush pink blouse and pale blue ankle pants.

My Blush and Navy Capsule for Skylurker

It looks like this is only part of it. I tried to fill in some missing pieces.

WIW: Sunday pale green and black

I'm not sure this works so am posting for your thoughts.
1-5: Worn to church. A pale green thrifted suit ( I wore the jacket too as it was needed for warmth at 7am.), Silky print blouse with greens and black, and tan peep-toe booties. 3 is to show the flounced back of the skirt.
4 is a necklace made by hand at a women's shelter in Denver, 5 is a different jacket, an old EF unlined cotton Keep or Toss?
6: Changed out skirt for old silk slouchy EF pants. Pardon the bare feet. We were walking in the Arboretum and I needed to find good walking shoes that could take some mud. Too much contrast?

K/R: Two Eileen dresses, Now with finds added

Dresses with sleeves are almost impossible to find, so these two EF dresses on sale followed me home. I need your objective eyes to decide what to keep..both, one, or neither.
On the plus side, they are both not black. The first is EF color "ash" or a medium grey. The second is an olive or EF color "oregano". Both could be dressed up or down and could be worn for at least 3 seasons. The shirt dress could be worn open as a duster. It is linen, viscose and spandex woven fabric. The first is viscose and spandex. It is hard to tell if it is woven or knit, but has a nice non-cling drape.
On the down side, I have a casual life so don't wear dresses as much as I'd like to. What I buy needs to stay in my closet for 2-3 years.
What do you think of these? Keep or return and keep looking? For styling I have bootie type footwear that I could wear with either and would probably wear a scarf. The second dress could be worn over slim pants, open or buttoned.
1/2: ash grey dress
3-5: oregano green button down

Finds.  I think these are the same dresses although I can't find the grey one in ash grey or the shirtwaist in oregano.  The first is available in the red, smoke grey and a deep blue; the second in black.  I gave much less for the ones I got so those colors in these dresses may be discontinued.

Taking a Stand: Spotty legs and aging skin

Getting it real. The first photos of WIW today show my spotty, veiny legs. The next two show me wearing a more scooped neckline top than usual. It is cooler for summer heat but also reveals spotty, crepey skin and flat chest. I hope others will wear what is comfortable in hot weather even if not very flattering.

WIW: Many Neutrals, Spring Version

This outfit was inspired by a outfit at unefemme.com for which I have some pieces that come close. It is called ' Wear it again, Sam'.
Olive pants, black tee, lighter long linen cardi, black ankle straps, and very similar animal print bag. Does this work on me? I welcome all comments, thoughts and suggestions. All pieces are from my closet.
