(Sorry, this isn't really Urgent. Once again, I posted from the app and forgot to change the default.)

After cleaning out my mom's closet, I have no doubt Angie would have dubbed her "Queen Blazer" because she had quite the collection. They all fit me, and I brought several home. These aren't sentimental items (they're mostly more recent Talbots pieces) but I think they're jackets I can work into my own style. My mom would have worn these with blouses and trousers or skirts. I'll wear them with graphic tees and jeans.

I tried them all on, just with what I happened to have on today. What do you think? With some styling tweaks, will they all work?

#1-2 - I actually wore this one for real today. I like the red plaid a lot, and showed you a side view, just so you can see those angled pockets Angie posted about recently.

#3 - Brown plaid blazer with elbow patches! I seriously tried this on a while back when it was in the store and decided against it because it was too pricey for how much I thought I might wear it. Always regretted it a little as one that got away.

#4 - This one is a subtle gray and black check, a little boxier than the others.

#5 - Purple velvet.

#6 - My mom's black leather jacket. I'll be keeping this one, even if I don't wear it, because it makes me smile.
