That isn't a dress though, it's an Indian kurta so I'm glad you like the blazer over it!

The orange is nice with that dress from the photos and the sleeve alteration is no biggie. Love a nice blazer! and perfect on you, no buttoning required. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-should-i-get-these-blazers#post-557022 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 20:11:21 +0000 Kirti 557022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meredith: Thank you! I love how orange looks on me too, so i'm thankful it fit! To be honest all my outerwear is neutral and non patterned so I plan to get both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-should-i-get-these-blazers#post-557020 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 20:07:34 +0000 Meredith1953 557020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both! The second one is absolutely such a yummy color (especially on you!) that you must at least get that one. Yes the sleeves need to come up. I have no issue with it not buttoning because I think it looks so lovely without buttoning. The first one is a lovely jacket also it's just that the second one's color is soooo spectacular! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-should-i-get-these-blazers#post-556940 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 18:26:54 +0000 Kirti 556940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you suz! I really love the cut of the striped one too and orange is my favourite colour, so I'm really excited about these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-should-i-get-these-blazers#post-556938 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 18:24:57 +0000 Kirti 556938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks sunita... I'm not sure if I could, I'll have to check! I don't usually button my jackets and I figure I could layer these under my trench on colder days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-should-i-get-these-blazers#post-556937 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 18:24:30 +0000 Suz 556937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're both great! The coral is gorgeous on you, and a sleeve alteration is a snap. </p> <p>The cut of the stripy one is fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-should-i-get-these-blazers#post-556931 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 18:18:35 +0000 Sunita 556931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look really good on you! The orange/coral one is a lovely color and the striped one will be easy to mix and has a shoulder that might help balance you out. </p> <p>Too bad you're unable to button them...can you moved the buttons in a bit closer to the hem to give you some more room? I did that with the Smythe jacket I splurged on a few weeks ago. I like being able to button my jackets, because I get cold easily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-should-i-get-these-blazers#post-556834 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 16:14:53 +0000 Kirti 556834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shannon! I do plan on getting the sleeves shortened on the coral.</p> <p>Angie: Yay! So glad you like these. I have a good tailor here, so I will get the sleeves shortened for sure </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-should-i-get-these-blazers#post-556815 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 16:04:45 +0000 Angie 556815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both blazers are fabulous! Can you have the sleeve length altered? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-should-i-get-these-blazers#post-556790 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 15:41:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 556790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of these on you Kirti. Not being able to button the blazer is fine as long as the fit is good everywhere else - which both of these do. I love the fit of the striped one and very on trend, and the coral colour is gorgeous on you (although yes the sleeves need shortening). I think both could be good choices for you. Now it's up to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-should-i-get-these-blazers#post-556769 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 15:11:43 +0000 Kirti 556769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you citygirldc! It is from a brand called camaieu. Do you have that where you live? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-should-i-get-these-blazers#post-556693 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 13:21:31 +0000 citygirldc 556693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the first one. What brand is it because I'd like to try one on? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-should-i-get-these-blazers#post-556689 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 13:04:56 +0000 Kirti 556689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jjsloane: Thanks for being honest! I'll try wearing it over jeans and a t shirt to see if it looks too small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-should-i-get-these-blazers#post-556688 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 13:00:39 +0000 Jjsloane 556688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the coral on you and see no problem wearing it unbuttoned. I love the stripes on the 1st one, but to me it looks like it can't close (the coral one does not) and therefore suggests too small. Maybe if I saw it styled it would be better since the rest of it seems to fit nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-should-i-get-these-blazers#post-556678 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 12:04:15 +0000 Kirti 556678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your comments! I forgot to mention that the sleeves on the orange blazer are too long, but the colour is so great that I would definitely be willing to get it altered! </p> <p>Claire, Manidipa: Apart from the sleeves, is the orange one okay? I would alter the sleeves for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-should-i-get-these-blazers#post-556673 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 11:44:50 +0000 Anonymous 556673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you can't even tell that the coral blazer is knit! I think I prefer the fit of the striped on on you. The shirring at the crown of the sleeves will give you a more pronounced shoulder line while obscuring the fact that you might not fill out that part of the jacket completely. I like the color of the coral/orange blazer on you, but I think it would require tailoring the sleeves, so I'll leave that up to you. If you don't need to ever close your blazers I don't think it's a bit deal that they pull or don't button easily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-should-i-get-these-blazers#post-556655 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 10:33:36 +0000 ManidipaM 556655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving the blue --- on-trend with the stripes and very sharp tailoring that is decidedly making the most of your hourglass frame even without buttoning.</p> <p>I can see how the coral might be a lot comfier and cheerier though... And it is a good fit too, if you take up or scrunch the sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-should-i-get-these-blazers#post-556647 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 10:07:52 +0000 Deborah 556647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both.</p> <p>The first one would like great over jeans. The shape and cut is so flattering.<br /> The coral jacket is beautiful. Like Rita I rarely button jackets. The fabric looks lovely and again the cut is very flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-should-i-get-these-blazers#post-556629 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 09:42:53 +0000 modgrl 556629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! The coral is gorgeous. The sleeves may be a touch long though. I NEVER button jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-else-should-i-get-these-blazers#post-556615 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 08:56:53 +0000 Kirti 556615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So after going to every shop in the mall yesterday I found two blazers that I liked and I would love your thoughts on them!</p> <p>Blazer #1 is a cotton blazer with navy stripes. I like the fit and the poofy shoulders. I also like that the horizontal stripes are a little different. It buttons up without feeling too tight, but I think it looks like it is pulling a little.</p> <p>Blazer #2 is a knit blazer that is fully lined. Again, I like the fit and the colour, which is a lot more orange than it looks. This one does not button up though.</p> <p>Now I know blazers that buttoned up would be more versatile, but with my combo of narrow shoulders and large bust, I think it is pretty tough to find them. I have tried in thrift stores, online, in the mall with no luck!</p> <p>If you were me, would you get either if these? Could I use them without buttoning them? And apart from the buttoning problem, are they 10s?</p> <p>Thanks for helping! </p>
