I have a pencil skirt that is a bit more pedestrian so maybe I'll try that, Or some wide leg pants. I'm glad some of you are digging the frills and jacket vibe. I guess I wasn't around in the 80s to&nbsp;&nbsp;fully appreciate the vibe, but it is kinda fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-and-jacket-combo---how-does-it-look#post-1213439 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 19:28:55 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1213439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kinda like the blouse and jacket together - it is reminiscent of the 80s, but in a fun way. I would try it with something less expected on the bottom, like boyfriend jeans for the weekend, or maybe chinos? Something with a more masculine or utilitarian vibe to balance out the ruffles and the tailored jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-and-jacket-combo---how-does-it-look#post-1213306 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 17:20:16 +0000 abc 1213306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ladywone stated it very tactfully and accurately, IMHO. &nbsp;Great pieces, but can you try remixing them in different outfits? &nbsp;And don't get discouraged, we ALL do this - that is part of the beauty of this forum! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-and-jacket-combo---how-does-it-look#post-1213299 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 17:17:42 +0000 Gigi 1213299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like rachylou's analysis. The skirt doesn't seem to match the tailored fit of the jacket. I would probably replace it with your run-of-the mill black pencil skirt in a less drapey fabric.</p> <p>I like the blouse, but I generally like wearing soft, feminine things like ruffles. I think that pairing the ruffled blouse with the more tailored jacket "softens" the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-and-jacket-combo---how-does-it-look#post-1213271 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 17:01:43 +0000 Ledonna N. 1213271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I am so sorry to say this but, It is an all around no for me. Let me start off with the positives. &nbsp; 1) Each piece individually is great.&nbsp; And that Hair style Yes. 3) Nails on Point also loving the manicure.&nbsp; </p> <p>&nbsp;Now for the not so good parts and maybe how we could style them better.&nbsp; The blouse inside the Jacket is giving me an 80's vibe.&nbsp; 2) The jacket is tailored like rachylou said and again it is a wonderful piece 3) the skirt is just a tad to tight.</p> <p>&nbsp;Ok, Now that, that part is over lets get to it.&nbsp; The blouse is a stand alone piece or you could wear it with a tailored fem vest of any kind.&nbsp; If you wanted to a nice slim belt with the blouse untucked. A belt to define and enhance your curves.<br />&nbsp; <br />The Jacket is lovely a looser fit on the skirt or a wide leg pant to really show off your features and accentuate your slim silhouette. &nbsp; Even a skinny ankle pant would work with this Jacket.</p> <p>The Skirt Is just to tight.&nbsp; Maybe for date night after putting the kiddies to bed.&nbsp; I am all for it.&nbsp; But you are better than this.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-and-jacket-combo---how-does-it-look#post-1213243 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 16:36:15 +0000 rachylou 1213243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, it's the skirt I wonder a bit about. The shirt and jacket are tailored while the skirt isn't... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-and-jacket-combo---how-does-it-look#post-1213241 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 16:32:40 +0000 Joni 1213241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found a white blouse with frilly sleeves, and wondered how it looked under this jacket. Cute or kind of silly? </p>
