Vraiment?

I'm wondering why the colors do not agree with 'La jupe'. I would have thought it would be 'bleue, blanche et rouge'. Is 'bleu, blanc et rouge' invariable?

You explain that following au cas où, you would be tempted to use the subjunctive, but must use the conditional, but you do not say why?

quick question: in French you say "ce sont NOS livres". Why is le pluriel of "le nôtre", written as "les nôtres" in this lesson?!

I'm perplexed. My answer to a quiz was marked wrong when I translated "by tonight" as "d'ici soir". Apparently it should be d'ici ce soir. But by tomorrow is "d'ici demain". Could you please explain the difference because the lesson doesn't address this. Thanks.

About 'face the facts', is it also correct to translate it as ' faire face aux réalités'. 

I think 'faire face à ' is a very common expression.

Could someone explain the phrase: "marechal des logis chef..." ? 

If he is the chief or boss shouldn't it read: "le chef du/de la/d'...." ?

Merci !
