Eclectic Joy

The BR ivory jeans and sweater finally all arrived and I'm not sure which size to keep, so need your eye.
Photos 1-3 show the smaller size at full length. 4 is the same size tucked to shorten.
Photos 5-7 show views of the larger size; 8-9 that size shortened.
Neither pair is tight or uncomfortable. For those who have these, do they "grow" on wearing? At first I liked the smaller size. Now I'm leaning toward the larger ones. Would the smaller size be best with a longer sweater?
What do you think of the sweater?

This dress is one of Angie's finds

I have been stalking it for awhile and when the Eileen Fisher site had a big % off sale over Labor Day, I pounced. I also ordered a matching colored (firefly) cardigan. They came late yesterday and I'd like your opinion. This is a want, not a need.
1-3: this is the basic dress. I like the color on me, the fabric (same as lantern dress), the length and high neckline. I wonder if it is too fancy for my life. Can I wear it to church?
4-7: The cardi I ordered, which was also on sale but still pricey. It is a different texture from the dress. Dillard's has a longer sleeved cardi this color I may try if you think this one is not flattering. It is more expensive. What do you think? It comes with a big pewter pin but I couldn't remove it without damage to the tag. Think #7 with a pin.
8-9: a cardi already in my closet. The color is an excellent match but is it too long or can it be worn to make the dress more casual?
A friend I sometimes shop with saw me in this dress and has also seen me in the lantern dress. She really wants me to get this dress and also the same one in pine needle (at Nordstroms )

I found this jacket at the Rack and need your wisdom as to whether or not to keep it. I can get very sidetracked by the 85% off price.
I took some quick photos with various other things. The color shown is pretty accurate. It is a dark navy but has some contrast with black. I can think of lots of things that I could wear with it and the butter soft leather could be worn almost year round as an indoor jacket.
However, even at it's much reduced price ($119 from $800), it is pricey for me. As for need, I was hoping to replace a wool navy blazer this year and I think this piece could fill that spot.
The fit feels good but my eye is not good at knowing. I could not layer anything bulky under it. Can this be worn with pants, dresses and skirts? How is the fit? Is the length good? It is collarless but my shoulders are pretty broad and neck is average length. I don't want to keep this if it is not a 10. I want it to be but am easily swayed by a bargain.

You may have seen my post on the Eileen Fisher lantern dress. I liked the deep blue so much that I ordered two more sale versions to try and then saw one at the Rack. I need to decide if I should keep any of these and, if so, which one. The first is rhubarb, which is a cherry red, which Debbie got.
Second is another red, strawberry. It is a coral red. Third is sweet plum, which is not pastel but a rich midtone. All are rich saturated colors. Included are some toppers I am also trying for a tone-on-tone but I have other toppers I can use.
1/2. The dress I kept in Sapphire.
3/4. The Sapphire dress with sleeveless top in same color. Does this add anything? I'm thinking of returning this top.
5/6. The dress Debbie has in Rhubarb.
7/8. The dress in Strawberry ( a bit more coral than Rhubarb)
9/10. Only other piece I could find in this color, a long sleeved top in same color and fabric as the dress. Is this too much worn over the dress for cool weather?
11-13. Dress in Sweet Plum.
14. Same dress with open weave linen blend boxy sweater
15/16 same dress with diagonal sleeve tee in same color and fabric for different look
17: dress with belt

I would love your thoughts and brutally honest opinions on any of these dresses and possible additions. I think the colors are pretty accurate, at least on my screen. What should I return? The only thing I'm keeping for sure is the dress in blue. It has already been worn several times.
