#3 is my favorite- neckline of the top and the column of dark works well with the blazer. I also like 1 and 4. I think this jacket works wonderfully for you, keep!

Thank the lord the forum has spoken. I was about to take the darned Canal street bus to stop you from returning that jacket. lol. It is a classic piece but has edge. That's what I look for. Excellent purchase.

Wowza! Aren't you on fire! These are all amazing, and the jacket is a must keep. Here's to Fuddy Duddy pieces (lol)!

#1, 3, 5, 6 are it. Are you getting this jacket?!!

Your metallic bag was just waiting for that jacket to arrive. You look great in it.

7 out of 8 outfits get my vote -- and given how many others love what you've put together, I'd say this jacket deserves a chance to stay!

ps Did you know many style gurus think curly-haired folks look better in highly textured items like this jacket?

Are you kidding me? You MUST keep that jacket. That is final!

I picked up by nitpicking pen before opening the photos, what with the intro you wrote!... and I hereby conclude that this jacket can do no wrong!

Oh you could try a different bag here and another t-shirt there or that other bootie to take a 9.8 to a 10... MAYBE. In a competition. But your closet isn't competing against itself, is it?

I'll take that fuddy-duddy she's having, please! In fact make that a double!

Just chiming in to say I love this jacket on you and I refuse to pick a favourite outfit

You are a styling genius! The number of different looks, all fab, that you came up with is amazing. I especially like how your snake booties bookend the texture of the jacket.

HOLY CRAP MOCHI!!!! This jacket is AMAZING on you! These outfits are incredible and as Angie has pointed out, really illustrates the power of a classic piece. Look at how many outfits you've come up with already? So glad you are keeping this. And now I want one...

You would look over the top fantastic in this style of jacket, Shannon. The right one for you will be out there for sure!

I typed #7 but I meant #6 lol. Gorgeous!

Clapping with delight! #6 - WOWZA!
