&nbsp; (As an aside, why do so many of &nbsp;the non-cropped&nbsp;tops with waterfall hems in the front&nbsp;go shorter in the back?)</p> <p>I will check out the suggestions above and keep checking back for more :)</p> <p>ETA: &nbsp;I have this blazer I'm trying to decide whether to keep or toss (pic isn't how I would style it). &nbsp;It had 80's shoulder pads that really weren't the same as the big shoulders now, so I took them out. &nbsp; Pro - it's long and looks oversized even though buttoned it's a good fit. Sleeves are the right length or can be rolled/scrunched.&nbsp;&nbsp;Cons - the shoulder pads really were something, and I don't know if taking them out made the shoulder line too undefined/off. &nbsp; Also the double-breasted stance might be too dated.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-looking-for-a-topperjacket-to-wear-with-tunic-outfits#post-1235013 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 18:48:16 +0000 Marlene 1235013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marmee - I basically am stuck in my Bellevue/Redmond/Kirkland box. &nbsp;I have never really explored Sammamish since that is "far away". &nbsp;See how bad I am? &nbsp;I would be open to a Seattle brunch and shop since I am looking for new options in my shopping world and none of my local friends enjoy fashion the way I do. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-looking-for-a-topperjacket-to-wear-with-tunic-outfits#post-1235008 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 18:38:47 +0000 Marmee 1235008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marlene, I just looked at the Mercer website. &nbsp;There is a store in Sammamish at Pine Lake Village, if that's near you. &nbsp;But I'm not exactly sure where Sammamish is in relation the the downtown Bellevue and Redmond, and I know the Eastside is a big place!</p> <p>I keep meaning to organize a Seattle brunch and shop… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-looking-for-a-topperjacket-to-wear-with-tunic-outfits#post-1235003 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 18:32:44 +0000 Marlene 1235003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - I haven't shopped Boden in a long time. &nbsp;That mac coat looks like a possibility. &nbsp;I need to relook at them!</p> <p>Marmee - I have never heard of Elizabeth Roberts before! &nbsp;I love what she is showing on her website. &nbsp;She seems to relate to the need for functional clothing that can handle the elements and STILL not look like you are about to set off on a hike. &nbsp;I live on the Eastside....I may need to cross the lake and check out the big city ;-)</p> <p>AG - I was wondering if some of the "gear" companies would offer something that would be functional AND urban style. &nbsp;Back to my research to see if there is something that could work...</p> <p>Thanks for the thoughts so far.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-looking-for-a-topperjacket-to-wear-with-tunic-outfits#post-1234993 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 18:21:19 +0000 Angie 1234993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried Boden?

It isn't the most stylish but is kind of sleek in black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-looking-for-a-topperjacket-to-wear-with-tunic-outfits#post-1234988 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 18:16:54 +0000 Anonymous 1234988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can definitely sympathize!&nbsp;I have a short-ish leather jacket that used to be my only real non-winter&nbsp;coat and it drove me crazy to have to wear it with a tunic or boyfriend cardigan hanging under it looking funny. Now I just do a trench coat. I don't have any advice on finding a non-classic one, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-looking-for-a-topperjacket-to-wear-with-tunic-outfits#post-1234978 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 18:05:55 +0000 Marmee 1234978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not Angie, but look at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.elizabethroberts.us/shop-s/1818.htm">Elizabeth Roberts</a>&nbsp;I don't know how close you are to Seattle, but&nbsp;Mercer in U-Village has some, and Mario's downtown also has them. &nbsp;</p> <p>I feel your pain. &nbsp;I also have the issue of what to wear when it's not going to rain, and it's kind of cold, but not cold enough for wool or down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-looking-for-a-topperjacket-to-wear-with-tunic-outfits#post-1234961 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 17:49:24 +0000 Marlene 1234961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As usual, the final steps in putting together an outfit manage to fall apart as I am walking out the door. &nbsp;My uniform of sorts these days is slim pants/jeans with a flowy or tunic top. &nbsp;My challenge is finding a jacket or topper I can throw on over my outfits that manage to protect me from the elements but still look like a part of the outfit. &nbsp;I live in the rainy PNW and this spring time weather REQUIRES some sort of topper that can protect me from the chill and rain without being too warm. &nbsp;I need something that goes with my outfits since I seem to be in my outerwear most of the day. &nbsp;I want something casual and LONG. &nbsp;</p> <p>I have been hunting for a couple months now and this is what I am finding:</p> <p>1) cropped and short&nbsp;jackets. &nbsp;I need something LONG that covers my butt and most of the long layers that I am sporting these days. &nbsp;I don't want to see every little thing hanging out my backside. &nbsp;I am also finding that I need my backside covered because I get chilled easily and my rear is the first to get cold these days.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have enough cropped and short jackets and they are just not right. &nbsp;Grrr. I always feel like my short jackets are messing up my outfits! &nbsp;And I'm cold.<br />2) anoraks. I think something in this vibe would be PERFECT but I don't like the greenish/olive-ish tones that I am seeing everywhere. &nbsp;I would prefer something in a cool gray or white/cream. &nbsp;I am also wanting something LONGER than what I am seeing out there. &nbsp;Has anyone seen a LONG anorak-style jacket in a cool-toned color?<br />3) trenches. &nbsp;Now I think something like this would be good but I don't like how "classic" they are on me. I have an arty-almost-avant-guard style.&nbsp;&nbsp; If I went with a trench, I'd want it to be more drapey or casual or arty or SOMETHING that is not so polished and put-together. &nbsp;I can't find that sort of thing. &nbsp;YET.</p> <p>I'm wondering if anyone in their travels&nbsp;has seen anything out there in shopping-land that may work. &nbsp; I will admit that I don't have a lot of time for shopping. &nbsp;And I also admit that I always shop the same stores and websites so maybe what I want is somewhere I haven't been yet. &nbsp;I do appreciate any leads that Angie or anyone can provide. &nbsp;I'm so cold! </p>
