Keep this jacket?

Veteran

At 70% sale (because of something with the belt which you can't notice) this was a steal- but is it a keeper? It's super comfy and at that price I'm happy even if I only use it a few times (won't use it with this dress). I'm still in town for a few hours so I can still return it.

Mmm, not loving it to be honest. I feel like you're at the hairdresser. It also looks like a fidgety item. But I find the colour flattering...

I agree with rachylou. It looks smock-like to me. So I vote return.

Can I come right out and say "no" ? You're way too good for this piece .

I don't care for it, either. It's awfully hard to tell with items when they're not styled the way you would wear it (and of course, if you are totally in love with it, ignore us!). You're too beautiful for this!

I think it could be challenging to style well. My first thought is that I would like it more with a contrasting, obi-style belt. As is, it seems a bit bland.

I don't think this is fab enough for you. It is kind of a deathly beige.

I'm not a fan either - but love the hair.

Hair is awesome!
If you love the jacket ..I think it could be styled with some narrow legged pants and a shirt in a great for you color and maybe a nice bold necklace or earrings.

I was also a nay vote. Just not your best look.

Thanks everyone for your honest replies, I do appreciate it!

I don't love it (I think it was that I saw it online first and liked how it looked, and when I found it on sale I was so happy so I didn't really see how it looked on me), but I'll try it on with my black skinnies and a necklace or perhaps a scarf, and see if it's any better! Otherwise I'll probably try and sell it online.

Thanks again!

Color looks very good for you, matching your eyes and refreshing.
On the photo blouse may be not in its best condition since it's on the sale, looks crumpled, but I believe after it's ironed and neatly adjusted on the body it will work great for you!
V-neckline makes your neck look longer while it's not too deep. I think it will look very nice if paired with some necklace, or maybe pearl beads, and can be worn with contrast color bottom.
Also looks it fits your body shape well and length is very appropriate for wearing with pants (covering up areas which we usually like to cover). For me it doesn't look bad purchase.

I'll be interested in seeing it styled differently. Sometimes it is really hard to tell in the dressing room.

Thanks Real_me for seeing the potential! And yes RobinF, I'm hoping it'll look better at home!

I'm not feeling the love. It looks comfortable, but not that stylish.

How does it look left open? Maybe with your black jeans and a print scarf draped so both ends hang down the front? Maybe it just needs a pop of color?
