Lookbook: Two Outfits With One Top

Happy Wednesday! I was torn on which outfit I wanted to post today so I just included both! I have on my new LOFT flutter trim blouson top  that I got this past weekend and couldn't wait to wear it! Here it is in Pebble Melange Gray, also available in Ribbon Pink (which I also got). Up first is this top paired with the LOFT jacquard skirt in fresh navy:
Top: LOFT Flutter Top- size XXSP (sold HERE)
Skirt: LOFT Jacquard in Fresh Navy- size 00P (sold HERE)
Shoes: Tory Burch Angela Pumps- size 5

I tried to throw on my LOFT navy jacket here in size 0p: (similar HERE)
Too much or does it work? I kind of liked it and it tones down the shimmery skirt...thoughts?
Here's in different lighting and a close-up:
This top surprisingly fits quite well. It has an elastic band on the bottom which I think is meant to be worn with jeans but it's tiny enough where you can tuck in w/no bulge. I cannot stand bulges when tucking in tops! I tend to tuck everything in so it has to be fitted enough so it doesn't look weird. This top reminds me of the Ann Taylor petal shell from months ago that I missed out on the small sizes.
I was really suspect about how this skirt would fit and how I would deal with the shimmer of it (especially) in a business environment. But the waist fits perfectly and the length was a perfect!
And then I tried a totally different outfit with cashmere sweater and pencil skirt:
 
Sweater: VINCE cashmere- size small
Skirt: Banana Republic Pencil Skirt- size 00p (similar HERE)
Belt: Random black belt (skinny belt sold HERE)
Necklace: Multi-Gray Colored Pearls (AFFORDABLE or SPENDY)


Which outfit do you like better? Or is both good choices for this top? Here's some shots up close w/the top so you can see the pretty detail. I think this is supposed to be worn casually due to the cotton body of the shell but I like to dress it up for work and wear it underneath cardigans or jackets.
 
Good golly the camera is close....its rare I take one this close-up! None of my photos are edited since I don't know how and simply don't have the time so sorry if it scares anyone :)
I am super excited because I am going to be doing a review and a giveaway in the near future so stay tuned!!!! It's going to be soooo good!!!
