Fabric Mart purchase

I have fallen off the wagon on buying fabric.  Probably due to change of season and not really liking anything particular in my stash.  Here is collage of the fabric I purchased this month.
Top right is silver metallic boucle fabric.  This was not what I expected and I will have to ponder on what type jacket I will use to make this.  More glitzy than I thought it would be.  The left top, second and third from left top are free fabrics from Fabric Mart.  The second from right top is a cotton suiting fabric in lemon, white and gray.  The iris/orchid floral print is rayon challis.  The bottom right fabric has been sold on various websites and I finally bought it.  I have seen dresses and skirts made from this fabric; my thought was dress.  The bottom left is teal, gold floral rayon challis.

      It just did not look the same when I took it out of the box as when I was looking at it on the monitor. Inspiration will come as some point, I hope!

      It is really nice and interestingly I have a skirt I made in a pale lemon/yellow that it goes with very well. I have yet to wear that skirt ; adding a jacket to it may be just the thing I need to do.
