Great find at TJMaxx! I too love TJX, but I usually go in looking for a sweater and come out with a couple lamps instead;-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sweater-and-a-jacket-kr#post-1746977 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 16:38:07 +0000 Elizabeth P 1746977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two great finds Chris!<br />I agree with Joy and Suz that the sweater would be nice semi-tucked to form less of a horizontal line.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sweater-and-a-jacket-kr#post-1746962 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 15:55:14 +0000 texstyle 1746962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two great pieces - the sweater is really great on you and I like the interesting color combination. The jacket fits really well and seems classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sweater-and-a-jacket-kr#post-1746940 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 13:52:36 +0000 Sara L. 1746940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colors of your sweater - slightly unusual but they go together so well. &nbsp;The tweed jacket seems to fit really well. &nbsp;I was in TJ Maxx recently and bought the polka dot pants that I posted today. &nbsp;I've found they can be hit or miss but lately I'm finding stuff I like there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sweater-and-a-jacket-kr#post-1746936 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 13:43:18 +0000 Suz 1746936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The stripes on the sweater do read casual but the fabric and cut do not. If this were my sweater I would wear it semi-tucked and I'd play with pattern mixing a floral scarf and the tweed jacket, as Approprio suggested, or other toppers.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sweater-and-a-jacket-kr#post-1746922 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 12:40:26 +0000 Chris987 1746922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone...approprio great idea about wearing the sweater with my grey herringbone jacket, and Rachylou good comment about the jacket pattern being super casual. I've got another similar item on order that might be a little dressier and I plan to compare the two before deciding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sweater-and-a-jacket-kr#post-1746697 Wed, 02 Nov 2016 15:28:24 +0000 rachylou 1746697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sweater loves you!!! I find the jacket pattern super casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sweater-and-a-jacket-kr#post-1746668 Wed, 02 Nov 2016 13:20:38 +0000 Zibbets 1746668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sweater on you! It sounds like the jacket is an upgraded refresher and will fall right into step with your wardrobe. Great finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sweater-and-a-jacket-kr#post-1746638 Wed, 02 Nov 2016 09:17:47 +0000 approprio 1746638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two nice pieces. I'd wear both together if I hadn't sworn off orange. I can easily the sweater under the classic grey blazer you posted the other day.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sweater-and-a-jacket-kr#post-1746628 Wed, 02 Nov 2016 08:14:48 +0000 Brooklyn 1746628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sweater-and-a-jacket-kr#post-1746627 Wed, 02 Nov 2016 08:13:57 +0000 Chris987 1746627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THanks Suz! I have one other joie sweater and it's quite nice, in a very lightweight knit. As with most of the higher quality designer&nbsp;brands they don't do petites so it's rare for me to find one that works but I keep looking. Vince is another one....I love so many of them but they are always too long. </p> <p>Sally I agree this sweater is a rare find in terms of colors. it will definitely work through to spring, in fact it probably is a spring sweater since it's so lightweight.</p> <p>Peacechick, you are right that these particular colors may not appeal to everyone, and thanks for the validation on the fit. I'm trying to be very picky about fit until it becomes second nature, and I still have a way to go. </p> <p>Karie, thanks, yes I am a huge fan of TJMaxx. </p> <p>Thanks Smittie, bj111, and shevia</p> <p>Joy interesting comments about the length of the sweater, I'm going to go try it on again with those comments in mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sweater-and-a-jacket-kr#post-1746599 Wed, 02 Nov 2016 03:11:23 +0000 Jaime 1746599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater is gorgeous on you. I like the jacket too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sweater-and-a-jacket-kr#post-1746597 Wed, 02 Nov 2016 03:08:58 +0000 Anonymous 1746597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is the new tweed jacket. A classic but sassy and modern as a moto.<br /> I like the sweater but would prefer it scrunched up just a bit shorter or semi-tucked to form a diagonal line. Love the Joie brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sweater-and-a-jacket-kr#post-1746590 Wed, 02 Nov 2016 02:28:50 +0000 bj1111 1746590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the sweater.  ETA-the moto is growing on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sweater-and-a-jacket-kr#post-1746579 Wed, 02 Nov 2016 01:31:12 +0000 Anonymous 1746579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sweater-and-a-jacket-kr#post-1746577 Wed, 02 Nov 2016 01:23:55 +0000 Karie 1746577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of these! You did well at T.J.Maxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sweater-and-a-jacket-kr#post-1746558 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 23:38:04 +0000 peacechick 1746558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't love the colors of the sweater but what matters is that you do, and I agree one doesn't always find a mix of bright, pastel and neutral like this. I like the tweed jacket a lot. The important thing is I think both fit you well </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sweater-and-a-jacket-kr#post-1746552 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 23:24:20 +0000 Sal 1746552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both Chris. &nbsp;A sweater in those colours is a rare find and it will be lovely right through to Spring. &nbsp;I like the jacket too and if the other one has been a workhorse, if you like this one as much, it will be a great addition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sweater-and-a-jacket-kr#post-1746549 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 23:13:04 +0000 Suz 1746549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweater is GORGEOUS, Chris. BBQuick!! &nbsp;Joie is a nice brand, I believe. I don't own anything from them but I know several forum members do.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the jacket, too, from what I can tell.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sweater-and-a-jacket-kr#post-1746535 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 22:13:59 +0000 Chris987 1746535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><em></em>I had a great shopping trip&nbsp;to TJMaxx today and came home with a pile of great stuff. Next&nbsp;I’ll try them on, make outfits, and decide whether to keep/return. I’ve&nbsp;been looking for more interesting sweaters in bright colors or light neutrals and toppers, among other things.&nbsp;&nbsp;I like the idea of toppers that are not traditional blazers. </p> <p><em></em>For these two items&nbsp;in particular I would love to hear some YLF-wisdom about whether&nbsp;to&nbsp;keep/return. Both worn with jeans and shoes as shown in finds. </p> <p>- Orange/grey/blush&nbsp;striped sweater. What looks beige in the find is actually blush. I absolutely&nbsp;love these colors together. The brand is Joie. &nbsp;I’m a little wary of stripes because I’ve had a few&nbsp;basic striped tops that I never wanted to wear,&nbsp;but this is very different.&nbsp; The model is called “Maine” which of&nbsp;course has absolutely NO influence on my decision &nbsp;</p> <p>- &nbsp;Lucky Brand Tweed&nbsp;Moto Jacket. I have a similar one from Banana Republic that is a little darker,&nbsp;a little shorter, and quite a few years old, but is a real workhorse so I think&nbsp;having another one would be good. Also the older one is getting a little worn. This&nbsp;new one has a slight burgundy thread in it.&nbsp; New one find #2, older one find #3</p> <p>I was not thinking of wearing these together but never say never &nbsp;:-) </p> <p><i><b>What do you think? </b></i></p> <p>Thanks! </p>
