HELP!

Okay, I need help making a decision. I am so undecisive. I went to Goodwill today to buy a few particular things while Ana was at Activity Days since the store's right by the church. And I hit jackpot. So I need to decide what to take back (since I bought it all to bring home to try on). So help me decide what I should keep and what I should take back. Bear in mind, I should probably take it ALL back.I think this one's a keeper actually, no decision needed to be made there. (At the time I took the picture it was still a debate.) $12.99 Lord and Taylor leather jacket/shirt whatever--it probably cost over $150 new. It's not something I would ever think to buy, but it fits perfectly and looks really cute. Banana Republic $9.99 dress. I love, love, love the material. However, this is one I've since decided on. It's going back--unless someone wants it?? Anyone? Size 12. Adorable. Not faltering to my shape though. This is a cute maternity top, perfect to wear with my black maternity skirt to church. $4.99. This one is still in debate. I have lots of maternity clothes, mostly hand-me-downs and a one time garbage-bag-full buy at a garage sale--so none of it is particularly what I like. Actually, a lot of them I've never worn, because I just don't get that big (well, they took Isabel a month early). Anyway, so this is a truly Kami shirt. Pink. Three quarters sleeves (my favorite). And I love the rouching (sp?). Another maternity top, sort of, it's a dress, but I'll cut it off and hem it to make a shirt. $6.99. I adore it!!! Plus side: it's warm, and I should be pregnant next winter, and it's RED!!! It also doesn't fit like a tent like a lot of maternity tops. Down side: I have to cut it off and hem it and who knows if that will turn out or not.
Maternity jacket. $4.99. Love it. I would love it more if it were red or pink though. Do I really need a maternity jacket? Again, I should be pregnant this winter/fall. But who knows where I'll be living. Hopefully someplace warm. Or Utah. In Utah I could use it. Umm, it's really big though, so it would only fit the last two-three months of my pregnancy. On the other hand, if I get that big, NOTHING else would fit me that I already own.

So there you have it, please vote in my comments section. I have to make any returns within ten days.

Hey and just for the record there were multiple, at least another 5 items I already decided to return despite them fitting and looking good. These last ones were just my favorites and I can't decide between them.

By the way, I did get the things I wanted, with one exception. I bought Ana a sweater to wear to church with a particular skirt. That was a perfect match. I picked up for my mom a few platters and a bunch bowl in her style of cut glass. I picked up a random butter knife to use for crafts. I wanted a shirt to match a teal skirt of mine to wear to church and I found the PERFECT one, only when I tried it on at home it was too tight. That was my exception. Ruff. I love skirts, and I have tons of them, but I really don't have hardly any blouses or sweaters to wear with them. Oh well... maybe another day at Goodwill.

Oh, and as a perk, you all get to see my new haircut I got a week and a half ago. I left it longer for Leo, but I think I like it better than my last shorter style.

Keep it all. I love the jacket. If it were my size I'd take it off your hands. Except the banana republic dress. But definitely keep the pink and red.
I like your hair too.

I think I need to go to the Chicago Goodwill next time I'm there.
