Knits will work too.</p> <p>Skirts look good with shorter jackets – flop proof if you are hourglass-y. However baggy BF blazers are being worn with tiny skirts and dresses as a salute to the 80’s, but often with a waist cinching belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-ways-to-wear-certain-new-purchases#post-106030 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:35:33 +0000 marianna 106030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear all sorts of collars with my jackets and I do think you can wear a button-down collar with that jacket! I think it would look quite smart and draw attention to your gorgeous face! </p> <p>I am totally inept when it comes to skirts so I can't help you there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-ways-to-wear-certain-new-purchases#post-106016 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 20:09:58 +0000 medusa 106016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, I think you can wear a button-down under that jacket. I do, and I keep the button-down collar under the jacket collar (rather than over), so it doesn't look busy around the neckline. I wouldn't say I'm expert on this, though, maybe I'm doing it wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-ways-to-wear-certain-new-purchases#post-106009 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:58:52 +0000 RoseandJoan 106009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to see the jacket worn with either a scoop neck or polo neck top. If wearing your scoop neck I would definitely add your pearls.</p> <p>With regards to the skirt and jacket question, I have not got a scooby so will look forward to other peoples responses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-ways-to-wear-certain-new-purchases#post-105985 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:15:39 +0000 Michelle 105985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know, I know, I haven't put up the pictures from yesterday's shopping spree yet, but those are coming tonight. IN the meantime, though, I have a couple of more general questions that will dictate what I do with some of the new purchases.</p> <p>One question has to do with the tweed jacket I bought:<br /> <a href="http://www.1-plus.com/addition-elle-Michel-by-Michel-Antoni-leather-trim-tweed-jacket_stcVVproductId81037344VVcatId545980VVviewprod.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.1-plus.com/addition.....ewprod.htm</a>\<br /> Because the collar is so broad, should I avoid collared shirts under it? For instance, I was thinking of pairing this with black pants and a fuchsia button-down (with pearls), but would that be too much activity around the neck? If button-downs are out, what's best?</p> <p>Pencil skirt: I finally found one that I'm confident you'll approve. It's charcoal grey and falls straight to my knee. As usual, though, I have a conundrum when it comes to top-lengths. I know you're supposed to wear shirts that stop at the hip-bone. Does the same rule apply to jackets? I always figured slightly longer jackets were ok with skirts, mostly because I know people often purchase suits that include both a skirt and pants to go with the same jacket. Would a shorter top layered under a longer jacket be effective over a pencil skirt, or should I just stick to the more cropped length? </p> <p>The results of this discussion will be implemented in tonight's picture-taking session. </p>
