If you are lucky enough to be able to wear camel, I bet you can thrift a blazer (if you thrift); otherwise, you need something longer and more blazer-like to my eye. Cute jeans - not sure they are baggy enough for boyfriend jeans without seeing the whole leg, but they look good! </p> mamaKate on "Camel jacket: better in theory than in practice?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-jacket-better-in-theory-than-in-practice#post-289610 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 04:52:27 +0000 mamaKate 289610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks fine and you look great in it - but I agree it communicates outerwear, and I agree there is something funny about the fit, with the wrinkles stemming up from the arm holes. </p> lynn on "Camel jacket: better in theory than in practice?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-jacket-better-in-theory-than-in-practice#post-289556 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 03:05:28 +0000 lynn 289556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans seem fine to me, not sure why you call them a failure. The color of the jacket is good with outfit but I think you are looking for a lighter one that you can keep on inside. It does look a bit heavy but not bad at all. I think you can find one that you feel better in. You're on the right track! </p> Stephanie on "Camel jacket: better in theory than in practice?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-jacket-better-in-theory-than-in-practice#post-289533 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 02:36:03 +0000 Stephanie 289533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by the Comptoir des Cotonniers lookbook, I have been on the hunt for a camel toggle jacket (to wear more as a blazer than as outerwear). This one seemed perfect from the pictures online, but I think it is too heavy (intended as very impractical outerwear, I guess) and so hangs strangely, or so it seems to me. But tell me what you think. (I think I look top-heavy in the pictures, although that is actually not the case--I'm small-chested to a fault.) </p> <p>Sorry for the bad pictures. I was in a hurry. I was also trying a boyfriend jean look, which was... also a failure. </p>
