Many of the Fabbers very kindly and gently tried to point that out to me - but hey, I'm a stubborn gal - lol!</p> <p>Will turn around and sell it and put the proceeds towards the&nbsp;<i>RIGHT</i> navy blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-navy-blazer-quandry#post-1027619 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:31:45 +0000 Angie 1027619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, that's my 2 cents. </p> <p>When I compare this silhouette, fit and proportion to your other jackets - it's not in the same league despite the superior quality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-navy-blazer-quandry#post-1027570 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:45:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1027570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much Angie for the detailed analysis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-navy-blazer-quandry#post-1027548 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:32:46 +0000 Angie 1027548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah. I think that's off too. Although wearing a double breasted jacket open is fashionable, the buttons are too far apart when you do so. Doesn't look quite right. </p> <p>It's the length of the jacket for the style that I find peculiar. If it were shorter, it would look more cheeky and boxy - and be just find with skirts <b>or</b> trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-navy-blazer-quandry#post-1027513 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:18:09 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1027513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for chiming in Angie - yes, the jacket is double breasted. So too long for dresses but too short for pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-navy-blazer-quandry#post-1027503 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:13:39 +0000 Angie 1027503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're looking for a 10, I don't think the blazer is it, Shannon. The length is off to my eye. It's either too long or too short depending on how you look at it. I do love the sharp shoulders though. </p> <p>Is it supposed to be double breasted? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-navy-blazer-quandry#post-1027436 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 12:53:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1027436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I'm wondering if you could help me out if you have a minute. I recently thrifted this navy blazer (new with tags) that is extremely well made and of high quality. I personally like the oversized shoulder pads and slightly boxy shape as it is something different for me and I've been looking for a navy blazer at an affordable price for a while now.</p> <p>But having said that, there have been concerns brought up in my posts about it that are leaving me a wee bit confused.</p> <p>Here's my thread from yesterday with it styled<br />&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-you-think</a>.</p> <p>Would love to know your thoughts about this jacket and what your keen and experienced style eye sees </p>
