I am so glad I finally got this jacket tailored (and I have this forum to thank- reading YLF made me realize I could and should try to make this jacket work- it literally sat in my closet with tags on taunting me- or maybe haunting me!-&nbsp;for four years!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-jacket-advice#post-1153001 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 11:54:11 +0000 kkards 1153001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh what a wonderful jacket. totally works with all the colors that you have paired it with. have you tried it with a knit underneath (maybe a silky knit or a really fine gauge cotton)? &nbsp;&nbsp;i'm wondering what a rounded collar would look like. and i can see this jacket coming out to play on weekends with jeans as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-jacket-advice#post-1152975 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 09:41:44 +0000 fuzzylogic 1152975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Pam! I am so glad you revived this jacket- it is so chic! I like the teal top best. The jacket looks sensational with both skirt and pants, and I also second El Cee's suggestion of pairing it with a sheath dress. Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-jacket-advice#post-1152956 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 07:35:54 +0000 MsMary 1152956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes on all counts!&nbsp; That is a great piece that should be a real wardrobe workhorse for you!</p> <p>And add me to the bathroom lovers!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-jacket-advice#post-1152932 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 06:12:10 +0000 Gigi 1152932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome jacket! I think it works well with both pants and skirts. I think the colorful tops you have chosen work well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-jacket-advice#post-1152923 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 05:53:04 +0000 Jeanie 1152923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful jacket! &nbsp;I think it goes with all the blouses. &nbsp;I like the orange&nbsp;best for some reason.....maybe it is just bold enough to set off the black and white. &nbsp;Good save. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-jacket-advice#post-1152917 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 05:30:00 +0000 Deborah 1152917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is gorgeous and definitely works as a neutral. It's a beautiful jacket and looks wonderful over the black pants in particular. I could also imagine some tonal pattern mixing would look great to if you were comfortable with that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-jacket-advice#post-1152898 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 04:53:07 +0000 Marmee 1152898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great jacket! &nbsp;It looks stellar with both the pants and the skirt, and yes, I think it also works as a neutral. &nbsp;I like it with all of the colors, but the orange is my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-jacket-advice#post-1152865 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 04:18:42 +0000 deb 1152865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the jacket with the colors of the blouses. Short sleeve blouses are supposed to be coming in for spring so maybe you could pick some up. It will save the jacket from underarm stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-jacket-advice#post-1152859 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 04:13:19 +0000 rachylou 1152859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All the blouses work extremely well. The outfits are interesting. I just read something about Duchess Kate's style - she has one of the most conservative jobs in the world, right? But she sneaks a little edge in through the details to keep the frump off. The pumps look plain, but they've got pattern. That sort of thing. </p> <p>You've got something like that going on here in your outfits: Above the knee skirt, skinny pants (I know - they're straight leg, but they read skinny) with pumps. It's a lovely jacket, but could easily go D.C. Wife and not in a good way. </p> <p>Nice work </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-jacket-advice#post-1152734 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 02:16:13 +0000 Suz 1152734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is an excellent neutral and very versatile. Definitely works with the bright tops, and will also work with other neutrals. Works with pants and skirts and would look good with a dress, too. And matches your bathroom!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-jacket-advice#post-1152617 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 00:21:59 +0000 Robidi 1152617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is a perfect neutral, IMO. I like all the colors , but I am partial to the teal. It really looks great with your skin tone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-jacket-advice#post-1152597 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 23:57:40 +0000 unfrumped 1152597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, wow, love the jacket and yes, it definitely works with colors. I hear you on how sometimes black and white demands...black, or white! But this does not, and that makes it very versatile.<br /> I like the mid-range color of the teal especially, as it seems to light up the range of tones in the jacket, but probably cobalt is more "in", and it still works.<br /> I would do just what you are doing and play with different colors, maybe different lighting, and find your faves--also depending on what else is in your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-jacket-advice#post-1152576 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 23:44:58 +0000 Anonymous 1152576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>El Cee and Carter- thanks! Yes the jacket is collarless. I have a pink top on order- may swap that out for the orange. Great idea about the black sheath- I see them all the time so will have to pick one up (watch- now they will stop making black sheaths for the next 10 years!)<br />And thanks for the bathroom comments- we just finished a big renovation- ripped out the shower and&nbsp;spa tub in the master and installed a large shower with 3 heads and a seat, which I love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-jacket-advice#post-1152530 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 23:09:41 +0000 carter 1152530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely a neutral and gorgeous. It works with all the tops and bottoms shown. It looks collarless in the pics. If so, it's perfect for a collared blouse as well. Black and white/cream are the base of my wardrobe. I wear them with every color in the rainbow. My personal favorite is pink, any shade. BTW...gorgeous bathroom too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-jacket-advice#post-1152527 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 23:01:30 +0000 El Cee 1152527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a lovely, classic and elegant jacket. I absolutely think it works as a "neutral" and looks fabulous with all the bold colors you've shown here. It might also work with some pastels and mid tones. And yes, I think it plays well with both pants and skirt. You may also want to try it over a solid sheath dress for yet&nbsp;another way to wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-jacket-advice#post-1152522 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 22:54:33 +0000 Anonymous 1152522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>x</p>
