boho chic or nono?

I just found this reduced at TJmax.
I cannot decide if it is casual cute or too frumpy or too young. It is longer in the back than front and has embroidery on the 3/4 sleeves. It is baggy in style but has a funky shape to it. The brand is Mrs Pepper. I like the color. Please be honest, no big deal if I am way off. I do like boho look sometimes, especially at school.

Keeping in mind that I'm no expert... I like it! The detail around the cuff is super cute. And I like the color, too. If I had this jacket, I'd wear it for sure!

I do not tend to like boho at all, but I really, really like the jacket on you, I think it is gorgeous and it looks great!

It is cute but even though it is supposed to be baggy, I think it is too big for you.

I love the detail on the jacket, but I think it would be less frumpy if it fit properly around the middle. We are loosing your cute figure, so if it pinched in snugly around the middle I think it would look worlds better!

The style is great for you, but I think it's too big.

I too really like the style, but it looks a tad big. I think it would look great if it was a bit more fitted at the waist.

I like the jacket a lot too, but I agree with everyone that it's too big.

Well I understand what everyone is saying but I do think it is a style issue and not too big. I am showing a picture if the back, it is buttoned in front. I don't know if it would be worth it to try and take it in or if it even could be altered.

What do you think?

I think you totally pull this look off! Not everyone could. To me it's very Paris 1920's artist. (It sort of reminds me of an artist's smock, actually!) I think for your casual teaching wardrobe it's very cool.

Tarzy,
I just read about this Mrs. Pepper line and it is supposed to evoke military styles from 1917, so you had the time period right. The quality is really nice, I am thinking of keeping it. I wonder what Angie thinks, I have a feeling she will not be wild about it but I could be wrong. I have never heard of the brand.

GG I'm with the others - like the style, but to me it does look too big!

Great coat, GG, but I think where it looks a tad big is under the armpit and in the shoulder, so even if something is "oversize" it hangs better if it fits in those two places. What size is it? I know it can be so dissapointing when you find something great and it's just not our size!

It is a size small.
