It reminds me of the time I needed to hem a grey skirt and somehow managed to convince myself that staples would blend in seamlessly. My only defense is that I was still in high school, but still, ugh. I actually think it would look best on a curvy figure, although perhaps a bit too sexy for the office. Maybe it would work for cocktails or something? The jacket would probably enhance an hourglass figure, but the skirt may hug curves too much. Love the shape, HATE the detailing.

The style is a bit more casual, so in colder climates you might be able to pull off wearing the pieces as separates. Even if you decide not to wear it at all now, if you got a good deal and it's flattering, there's no reason not to keep it because you can't wear it until spring.

Right? I'm trying to decide whether to keep it. http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=26500&vid=1&pid=619427 Off topic – I bought this suit in “Moonlight” from Banana Republic last week, but I’m thinking I can’t wear it until spring because of its light color.

I have a suit that has sleeves that length and I never wear it without a long-sleeved shirt under so that I have something covering my wrists. I think they do seem a little short.

The darts may even be raised--can't tell. I like it, but...
