Our counter is in and it's beautiful, and now it's off to return this at Gap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-the-gap-plaid-blazer-three-ways#post-796426 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 22:37:36 +0000 Deborah 796426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una. I'm sorry but I still don't this is a garment that reflects your style or personality. I'm just not sure anything can reduce the "prep" vibe of the jacket:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-the-gap-plaid-blazer-three-ways#post-796424 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 22:31:06 +0000 Anonymous 796424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If this blazer were something in your closet you were trying to make work, I think those three combinations (especially the leather skinnies and the boyfriend jeans with slouchy beanie) are great. </p> <p>But ... since this is a new item, I think you should keep looking for something that mixes the plaid with a bit more edge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-the-gap-plaid-blazer-three-ways#post-796407 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 22:01:08 +0000 cciele 796407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://compare.ebay.com/like/251150298981?var=lv&#038;ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&#038;var=sbar" rel="nofollow">http://compare.ebay.com/like/2.....8;var=sbar</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/110112648/vintage-80s-stirling-cooper-london-new?utm_source=googleproduct&#038;utm_medium=syndication&#038;utm_campaign=GPS&#038;gclid=CKfAlufymrQCFe5FMgodBkAAiA" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/11.....MgodBkAAiA</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.ecrater.com/p/9484676/blackwatch-plaid-fitted-riding-jacket-with?gps=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.ecrater.com/p/94846.....with?gps=1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-the-gap-plaid-blazer-three-ways#post-796403 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:53:17 +0000 Thistle 796403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you. I think it looks quite nice.</p> <p>HOWEVER, it is definately not UWP. I do not think you can style it to be UWP as it tends to make everything else seem more preppy.</p> <p>As you are not looking for the preppy vibe, I vote return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-the-gap-plaid-blazer-three-ways#post-796398 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:49:36 +0000 Suz 796398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah- I'm not happy with the cut now that I see it here. Pass - or alter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-the-gap-plaid-blazer-three-ways#post-796397 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:48:20 +0000 Transcona Shannon 796397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una - what do you think of this one from Target? Still blackwatch tartan and a bit longer and fitted silhouette. I know the quality won't be the same, but still might be worth checking out.</p> <p><a href="http://www.target.com/p/merona-women-s-tailored-blazer-assorted-colors/-/A-14150145" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/merona.....A-14150145</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-the-gap-plaid-blazer-three-ways#post-796394 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:40:50 +0000 Anonymous 796394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is too boxy also. The pattern is lovely but the cut doesn't work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-the-gap-plaid-blazer-three-ways#post-796383 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:23:54 +0000 Diana 796383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still too preppy for me, sorry. I think it's the combo of plaid AND boxy, you know? Prep+prep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-the-gap-plaid-blazer-three-ways#post-796382 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:23:22 +0000 CocoLion 796382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked it yesterday but today I'm taking a closer look, the sleeves look too big. It looks a lot bigger on you than on the model, too bad they only have reg and tall sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-the-gap-plaid-blazer-three-ways#post-796379 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:16:13 +0000 catgirl 796379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I LOVE blackwatch! Have been looking for the right jacket for years. It's preppy but with that moody side, as you've said. Still, I do think it's missing that twist I need... blah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-the-gap-plaid-blazer-three-ways#post-796374 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:07:25 +0000 Mo 796374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, I"m still a nay. Too boxy without being actually oversized. And of course, those 2 other words you mentioned yesterday </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-the-gap-plaid-blazer-three-ways#post-796372 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:06:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 796372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmm...I don't know....it has possibilities. I love the blackwatch pattern on you (nice and moody, you know?) and it does pair beautifully with black. It's the shape that's throwing me off. Your other jackets either have a more interesting shape or drape or some other detail that makes it "you" - this is missing that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-the-gap-plaid-blazer-three-ways#post-796368 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:04:01 +0000 catgirl 796368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, it does make sense. I'm leaning toward return - the problem is that it fills a huge longtime want (blackwatch plaid blazer) - but I don't think it's perfect on me, too boxy and not edgy enough on it's own. Although I do like it with the leather pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-the-gap-plaid-blazer-three-ways#post-796363 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:01:53 +0000 Ornella 796363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you although I see why there might be questions if it is you.</p> <p>However - if *you* like it, that speaks volumes. If you're still on the fence, then work out what cost per wear would justify it, then see if you will realistically wear it that much before you start doubting if it's a 100% keeper. Not sure if this makes any sense... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-the-gap-plaid-blazer-three-ways#post-796357 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:57:17 +0000 Sona 796357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AG: this one is not for you. I know you said you've given up on zara online but they have some awesome 'check' blazers that are much more 'you'. think about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-the-gap-plaid-blazer-three-ways#post-796338 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:47:29 +0000 cciele 796338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting the various options! Now that I've seen it styled, I'm thinking the cut is not edgy enough to offset the preppy/conservative vibe of the blazer. It needs to be more cheeky or cropped or something... The plaid itself, I like </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-the-gap-plaid-blazer-three-ways#post-796332 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:43:42 +0000 catgirl 796332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rocker, boyfriend, and blogger-style. Any thoughts? Still too regular preppy for me? I'm not trying to convince anyone one way or another - this is one of those items I could love (and do right now) or could orphan.</p> <p>Bonus pic of what I'm actually wearing today. </p>
