BB Dakota assymetrical jacket: thoughts?

My order of the Angie pick B.B. Dakota faux leather assymetrical jacket arrived.
I ordered my larger size of small regular over XS and was glad I did. The sleeves are very narrow, fine for me and adds structure, but I have long skinny arms. Zipped up it just fit on my non curvy bust but I think it would stretch some to accommodate a more average bust. (ETA; Angie has this jacket in her top picks and says it is fab on a full bust and works on an apple figure). I doubt that the tight sleeves leave any room for layering anything but very thin fabric sleeves.
The jacket seems well made, looks like leather but does not have an odor. I got the taupey color because I love that color for a neutral. I am wearing it just over what I had on, sleeveless EF silk shell and Joie silk joggers and would probably never wear it zipped up. I have some compliments in my wardrobe for the color: SE Putty booties, a taupe EF flat shoe with wide ankle strap, and some suede OTK boots and the bag shown.
Your thoughts? K/R? Should I try for a bigger size? Is the color ok on me from what you can see? It brings out the taupe in my hair. Styling suggestions?

NAS: Help needed on vest

I ordered this TTahari Loey vest I two sizes and keep waffling as to which I should keep.
1-3 are an XS, front unzipped, sides zipped, sides unzipped.
4-6 is the S, front unzipped, sides zipped, sides unzipped. I have on grey Kut Diana jeans, also NAS, and a light weight turtleneck,but it is hot and the vest is warm, so these were taken in a hurry with no shoes. Do I need more photos?
What do you think works best? The XS? The S? Or return both. Yay-XS, nay-S.
What do you think of the jeans? Fit ok? They are very comfortable
I welcome your help. I don't know what to do withthe vest.

Ask Angie: Foxcroft Shirt? ETA shirt photos

Have you seen this Foxcroft shirt?  I have been looking for a replacement black dot on white shirt.  This one seems to fit well but isn't really a polkadot.  Should I keep this one or keep looking?  It's different, but is it different in a good way?
ETA photos: 1-4 is the Foxcroft shirt under consideration. 5-8 is my existing Liz Clairborn shirt. My old one is a tailored fit and old enough to have darts! It is used most for layering. I thought I'd like a more fluid fit that could be worn alone.

My NAS Stuff Arrived

What I received is in finds below. I got the Paige high waist skinnies in two sizes to try, but think I'll return both and keep looking. (1-5)
I really wanted the Chantelle bra and undies in grey, but my size sold out. I'm happy with the fit and comfort of the Betsy Johnson and the Hank Pankys are a good match. These both look more grey than lavender.
I got a medium in the plaid shirt and it seems a good fit. They run small. It is a replacement for a flannel Target shirt I got last year that is really too big, but similar colors. (2-3)
I bought a size 2 in the Ted Baker tee and it is generous. My store doesn't have them to try a smaller size but I like how fluid this is. I'm not sure that I'll keep it though. (4-6)
I love the EF skirt but hope to size up. The XXS fits and may stretch out a bit but I want to try the XS to compare. It looks much better than the online photo. (6-10).
my photos were taken quickly after I got home from working out and am a mess. Sorry about the bare feet.
