I'm glad they all meet with approval because there's no way I'd be able to choose which one to let go! I feel like they are all pretty different, but wanted some outside perspective, so thank you all for the comments!</p> <p>Angie, these types of jackets really have become a signature look for me, haven't they? </p> <p>JR, I haven't really experimented much with other colors, but one of these might work well with my cobalt blue pants as a transition into fall. I don't have many colored bottoms...but I do have a green skirt that I've had trouble styling and it just might work with one of these jackets. I'll have to give it a shot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-collection-of-black-and-white-jackets#post-703597 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 17:14:16 +0000 JR 703597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're wearing them, why get rid of any? Have you ever tried wearing them over more vivid colours? I personally love the column of black thing, but it could be fun to try columns of other colours too.</p> <p>And yes, I did see that purple blouse. A column of purple might be pushing it a bit... LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-collection-of-black-and-white-jackets#post-703567 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 16:21:02 +0000 Angie 703567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is your signature look. Keep them all. They are stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-collection-of-black-and-white-jackets#post-703490 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 14:26:34 +0000 Queen Mum 703490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look great. As others have said, if you're wearing all of them and like them all there is no reason to kick any to the curb. </p> <p>I did note that the two at the bottom of pic #2 are similar, but my pick to keep of the two would be lower left... just the opposite of Aprils pick.</p> <p>But again, you wear them all, so no reason to get rid of any yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-collection-of-black-and-white-jackets#post-703482 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 14:19:26 +0000 Transcona Shannon 703482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep all of these Christy - they are all beautiful jackets, fit you perfectly and all have a slightly different vibe. You love them and they love you back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-collection-of-black-and-white-jackets#post-703461 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 13:39:09 +0000 Suz 703461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all lovely, Christy, and seem to fulfill different functions in working best with different outfits. If you have space and continue to wear them all with pleasure, then keep! </p> <p>And if not, send them to ME, LOL!!!!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-collection-of-black-and-white-jackets#post-703416 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 12:03:47 +0000 Irene 703416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>keep them all!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-collection-of-black-and-white-jackets#post-703415 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 11:58:20 +0000 Vildy 703415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Often, as is the case with the photos, black and white in closeup, tends to resolve to grey at a distance, unless very oversized. So, to me it looks like you wear a lot of grey tones.<br /> Some things that keep their black and white distinctiveness also, at a bit of distance, tend to veer toward black and beige, grey or greige. You like them, they like you and I don't think anyone who saw you on a regular basis would be thinking anything was amiss.<br /> No Cruella Deville here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-collection-of-black-and-white-jackets#post-703413 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 11:34:43 +0000 April 703413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you'd like to whittle the selection, the one I see as expendable is the black and white plaid in the lower left of Photo 2. The other patterned one (in the lower right of Photo 2) is nicer to my eye, probably because it's lower contrast, whereas the stark black and white with the large plaid is busier.</p> <p>But since you're styling it with items such as in your last photo, it definitely works. I'm just offering it as the one that I think could go, if you really want more closet space. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-collection-of-black-and-white-jackets#post-703402 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 11:21:38 +0000 jayne 703402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>keep...like shoes we need a few jackets for all different occasions and you have found the pattern you prefer....IK has hers in black and I have color variation but overload on double breasted....each our own obsession I say...it makes us have a style we can call our own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-collection-of-black-and-white-jackets#post-703391 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 10:29:48 +0000 Mander 703391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all! Unless you are desperate for the space I think there's no particular stand out that looks like it should go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-collection-of-black-and-white-jackets#post-703388 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 10:28:36 +0000 Anonymous 703388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all different in a way. I'd keep them all. They are all beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-collection-of-black-and-white-jackets#post-703386 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 10:25:40 +0000 Mona 703386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THese are all nice jackets and fit you so well. i agree with Scarlet that If you must get rid of one of them, it would probably be the last one. But you still like all of them and are not tired of them so i vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-collection-of-black-and-white-jackets#post-703378 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 09:18:43 +0000 Deborah 703378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are still loving and wearing them so keep me all! And Christy did you really think I would suggest parting with any of these black and white beauties? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-collection-of-black-and-white-jackets#post-703350 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 07:16:11 +0000 Scarlet 703350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for you could keep them all. If you really want to narrow it down, the only one I would consider parting with is the last one. It seems not as sophisticated as the others--it's a bit more basic/straightforward. Having said that, it still looks awesome on you. I would rank the ones you have in this order, 5, 4, 3, 6. The new one looks absolutely gorgeous, and the leather makes it very on-trend this season. You have gorgeous style and all of these outfits are winners, so it's really splitting hairs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-collection-of-black-and-white-jackets#post-703349 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 07:05:22 +0000 Lyn D. 703349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them ALL!<br /> I would keep them all because they are different styles. They seem to 'play' well with lots of outfit combinations too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-collection-of-black-and-white-jackets#post-703336 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 05:37:47 +0000 catgirl 703336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really, for something you love and wear so much, this is a good variety within the category of black and white jackets - I'd keep them all, unless you feel something has to go, in which case I have no idea... The newest one is fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-collection-of-black-and-white-jackets#post-703333 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 05:32:52 +0000 christy 703333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Along the lines of Suz's "how many black booties does a girl need?" and IK's "how many black jackets does a girl need?" ... Apparently I have a thing for black and white jackets! I'm going through a closet edit and one of my purchases at NAS (Nordstrom Anniversary Sale) this year was a new black and white Classiques Entier jacket with leather trim. If I remember correctly, it was one of Angie's picks. I haven't worn it yet, so don't have a photo of it styled. I've also included photos of the other 4 (!) jackets I have that are somewhat similar as well as a couple of photos of them styled. Any here that need to be donated? Or are they all different enough to keep? I still like wearing them all, so it's not a matter of being tired of any of them. But I'd be interested to hear your thoughts!</p> <p>1. New Classiques Entier jacket with leather trim and a keep</p> <p>Up for dabate:<br /> 2. The other similar jackets in my closet</p> <p>A few outfits:<br /> 3. Classiques Entier jacket (NAS 2 years ago)<br /> 4. Vince Camuto cropped jacket (NAS last year)<br /> 5. Mac &amp; Jac jacket (maybe 2 years old?<br /> 6. No idea the name and I'm too lazy to go upstairs and check! (probably 2-3 years old)</p> <p>So...any thoughts on whether one or more of the jackets in 2-6 should go? </p>
