I prefer the jacket unbuttoned, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582953 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 14:59:14 +0000 rachylou 582953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just acquired a minty green blazer as well - and was also wondering if it was too bright for the office. I should try matching it with something "denim" colored as well; that's super creative of you and works well IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582912 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 14:22:08 +0000 Meredith1953 582912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya,<br /> That blazer is delightful on you! You really wear that cropped style so well and it is such a lovely color also! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582710 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 05:24:58 +0000 ManidipaM 582710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NICE find, Tanya! And like so many others, I suspect you should wear it to wear at least once, if only to help the goalposts shift towards your comfort zone (I know --- that pace can be glacial, and this is easier said than done). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582673 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 04:33:04 +0000 Tanya 582673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all once again!</p> <p>Una, I wish I were 5'8" Thank you for the compliment, but I can not wear anything, not even close to it. There is a reason why you have never seen me post a cropped pants outfit, for an example. The long torso is usually accompanied by very short legs. In my case, I think it is about 2" mismatch, that is, I probable have he torso of the the proportional 5'8" person and legs of 5'4" one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582638 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 03:42:21 +0000 Debbie 582638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya this a gorgeous color on you! you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582628 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 03:33:45 +0000 christieanne 582628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hard to go wrong with this color! It is bright but since apple green and other brights are still everywhere, hopefully the trend will grow.<br /> Wear it over something that can stand alone and then if it feels too much, you can take it off. Over time, the eyes will adjust. </p> <p>If I were your co-worker or boss, I'd want you to wear such a happy jacket to work </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582621 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 03:27:22 +0000 taylor 582621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous Tanya! I love all shades of green and this looks amazing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582614 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 03:24:43 +0000 catgirl 582614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah! I was putting you at 5'8" or so. I can see you have a long torso, but with your gorgeous hourglass figure, everything seems to look great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582575 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 02:55:20 +0000 Tanya 582575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all very much!</p> <p>I also prefer it unbuttoned, so wear are all in agreement. And I do have a neutral bag to complete the Angie's formula.</p> <p>Dianthus, I sadly do not own other green items for a tonal outfit, but it is a great idea. I do own a lot of blue though, which is how they styled the jacket on the site: <a href="http://www.express.com/ultimate-double-weave-ruched-sleeve-jacket-46199-701/control/page/4/show/3/index.pro" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/ultimat...../index.pro</a></p> <p>Jeanne and Angie, I will try and muster courage to wear it to work, probably on a day when I know that my boss will be traveling.</p> <p>Una, I am 5'6"; but I also have a very long torso, so tops/dresses tend to hit me much higher than other people of my height. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582573 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 02:54:27 +0000 sarah 582573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab, Tanya! I prefer it unbuttoned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582541 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 02:23:57 +0000 catgirl 582541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adore it! </p> <p>How tall are you, Tanya? I would like jackets to be this length on me but they are always longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582535 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 02:19:53 +0000 Aida 582535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute jacket! I prefer it unbuttoned since it's on the short side. LOVE the color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582512 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 02:02:36 +0000 Jaime 582512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it unbuttoned in the second picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582458 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 01:20:19 +0000 crazyone 582458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color and fit! I hope you do wear it to work--in my experience, eventually they'll get used to it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582450 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 01:09:17 +0000 modgrl 582450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!! I have been dreaming of a jacket in this color. I may need to check this one out!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582428 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 00:36:08 +0000 Angie 582428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fab! Love that you applied the formula and are wearing very on-trend green!</p> <p>I prefer the jacket un-buttoned - how about you, Tanya? </p> <p>It's great that you are feeling more comfortable at work sporting your looks. I realize that this outfit is out of your work comfort zone, but perhaps you'll be a devil and JUST DO IT. </p> <p>:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582419 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 00:20:55 +0000 Suz 582419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a pretty jacket, and it looks lovely with the blues! I like this colour...it's vibrant without being overpowering. Perfect for your own colouring, I imagine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582416 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 00:19:07 +0000 Jilly 582416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, that jacket is ADORable on you - you should have no qualms whatsoever! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582371 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 23:48:26 +0000 Makrame 582371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great jacket, and it is nice to add some "trendy green color" to your closet without breaking SYC/SYB.</p> <p>I was recently in a meeting that included mostly faculty-level scientists, and it was great to see all the women in the room, including full professors, wearing brights or patterns - there was a bright red blouse, a patterned blazer with polka dot lining on the turned-up sleeves, and a coral-striped shirt among us (and I am not even sure what I was wearing but it was also something colorful). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582367 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 23:44:07 +0000 Transcona Shannon 582367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous jacket on you Tanya - I love the colour and the fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582365 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 23:42:40 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 582365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely color on you. Do you have the pieces to do a tonal outfit in greens? It is a really interesting look and could work well with the bright green jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582359 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 23:39:55 +0000 Anonymous 582359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE this color on you! And it is so bright and cheery with the denim (thinking of Angie's column of denim formula--you're 3/4 of the way there)! I think that was a very wise way to spend the last of your gift card. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582354 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 23:36:51 +0000 Jjsloane 582354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya I really love the color. I prefer it unbuttoned in this combination. I dare you to wear it to work! Show those scientists what a stylish woman is like. Rock their world! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-rare-new-purchase-bright-green-blazer#post-582324 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 22:58:04 +0000 Tanya 582324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was very lucky to receive a very generous Express gift card for Christmas, so ever since I have been using it, in conjunction with coupons/promos, to alleviate my 95% SYC/SYB. Honestly, the remaining 5% is due to this card. I had a little bit of money left on it and some great coupons, so I decided to treat myself to two bright spring items (the second will be posted about separately as I am unsure about the fit).<br /> I fell in love with this bright green blazer, which is very similar to the Halogen one Angie posted a couple of days ago, it has the same scrunched sleeves. The outfit here is a direct interpretation of Angie's column of denim formula, including patterned shoes (both of which feature a multi color pattern with some green int hem). I am not sure if I would dare to wear it to work, as I recently wore a similarly colored (but less bright ) top under a navy striped jacket which drew a lot of comments. But I will happily wear it elsewhere as the color puts me in a really good mood. </p>
