NO not my style at all.

YAY, with one exception -- get rid of the tweed pockets. 

 

I love the drop waist, the different take on tweed, the exposed zipper in the back, and the thin line of tweed around the neck.

Conflicted with this look. The shorter than short but longer than cap sleeves evoke a "light" feeling while the Tweed skirt feels "heavy". My balance-loving self would pass on this dress.

This one is a Nay for me. Not a fan of how the two different colors and textures are placed....it would cut me in half, with way too much attention brought to the bottom half.😉

Not on my body.  The drop waist would go right across the absolute widest part of me.  Besides, this dress is too short for me.

 

I don't hate the black ponte top and tweed bottom but the style/cut just wouldn't work for me.  It needs tweaking.  LOL

Not much else is better than great tweeds in fabrics. When I worked I had a number of beautiful tweed jackets/blazers, some came from right here too.  Ahh, those were the days shopping here....

Yay, it's a classic. Too short for me because I'm tall, but I like it.


@Greeneyedlady21- You mentioned you were 5'10" - I think this dress would look great on a tall person!    Smiley Happy

 

(As I posted earlier, if I had Tina Turner's legs, I would so wear it.  I'm 5'9).
