I have made my decision. Clearly #1 was a no brainer so that is my first choice. I'm going to keep my second choice to myself for now - as a variety of views were expressed re #2 and #3;). What I will say is that both items will be in black. Can't wait to show you and thanks so much for the encouragement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose/page/2#post-1443846 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 04:19:28 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1443846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late to the party (as usual) but since we have very similar tastes, I'm going with #1 and #3 in black. The leather blazer needs some flair to kick it into modern territory, to my eye. I'm not sure about the ties though...to me, they are a tricky proposition and need to be soft/narrow enough to not add bulk, otherwise I've been known to pin or clip to get the shape (in a pinch). I'm psyched for your endeavour too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose/page/2#post-1443830 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 04:04:02 +0000 Dee 1443830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #1 as the obvious choice. Then #3, which I think could work welll with your wardrobe but would be more outside your norm. I don't see #2 as your usual style but I would be interested to see how you styled it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose/page/2#post-1443805 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 03:21:29 +0000 Jaime 1443805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well #1 seems like a no-brainer! Tell us more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose/page/2#post-1443741 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 01:00:41 +0000 Echo 1443741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the first one would be the obvious choice, but I am not sure that duplicating the same look you favour in clothing in outerwear is the best approach. So I am going to go outside the box here and say that I prefer #3 because it provides just enough drape to mirror your style, but still has enough structure to counter that (which is more important in outerwear, IMO, because it can tend to look heavy anyway), and a lighter colour. And then I would go with #2 because I can really see the red structured jacket popping against a drapey, black wardrobe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose/page/2#post-1443738 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 00:54:18 +0000 Beth Ann 1443738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote #1 and #2!&nbsp; I see this was your order of preference, too.&nbsp; Let us know how they work out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose/page/2#post-1443686 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 22:12:59 +0000 Gigi 1443686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't read the other comments thoroughly, but my first impression was #3 in black, then #1. However, the zipper on #3&nbsp;may be too hard edge for you; although you wear lots of edgy things like asymmetric cuts and the like, they're generally not "hard" like the exposed zipper is, if that makes any sense. So I guess I am on the fence between 1 and 3.</p> <p>I don't like #2 for you because it seems way too classic and symmetrical, and there isn't much drape. I associate your style with asymmetry and drapey fabrics.</p> <p>Congratulations on being asked to do this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose/page/2#post-1443665 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 21:36:05 +0000 AM 1443665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Didn't read everyone's comments but #1 would be a definite. And for my second choice -- I'd lean toward #3 -- but if you want to explore a new area, then I'd choose #2 in black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose/page/2#post-1443660 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 21:26:23 +0000 Caro in Oz 1443660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with Greyscale - a less classic blazer would be really fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose/page/2#post-1443659 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 21:26:06 +0000 Anonymous 1443659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote 1 and 3. Something about the cut of the lapel doesn't gel with me so much in 2, though I would need to see it in black really to make a final decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose/page/2#post-1443651 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 20:48:56 +0000 Lyn D. 1443651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 and 3- I can't see you in a classic leather blazer like the one here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose/page/2#post-1443634 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 19:26:01 +0000 Greyscale 1443634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 obviously, and I guess #3 in black.</p> <p>I think you should get a black leather blazer, for sure, but not that one. Yours should be more like Emmanuel Alt's in the photo you posted: straight cut, thin lapels.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose#post-1443625 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 19:01:48 +0000 Mellllls 1443625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i vote 3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose#post-1443623 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 18:59:28 +0000 Day Vies 1443623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1&amp;3 are definitely you. Although I think #1 is most you, I think 3 would be fun for you to work with given the minimal patterns you wear and your emphasis on cut, texture and or drape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose#post-1443619 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 18:55:50 +0000 Zibbets 1443619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun opportunity for you!&nbsp;</p> <p>I like #1 and&nbsp;#3. One is perfect. It will be fab with jeans, trousers, pencil skirt, midi skirt, full skirt or&nbsp;skirted leggings.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm&nbsp;not sure about the zip or the ribbed inside of the collar in #3. </p> <p>The black leather blazer could be great, but it strikes me as possibly dated and potentially&nbsp;difficult to style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose#post-1443612 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 18:42:20 +0000 Anonymous 1443612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 and 3. I like 2, but I&nbsp;think you might feel constrained by the cut and it doesn't have much "edge". If you could only choose one, I think 3 would be my choice.&nbsp;</p> <p>That's exciting!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose#post-1443584 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 17:15:59 +0000 Inge 1443584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Denise:-)<br />I too really like the idea of a leather blazer for you, Deborah, but would prefer a more modern one.</p> <p>Let us know what you decide? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose#post-1443579 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 17:08:30 +0000 CocoLion 1443579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First choice #1. &nbsp;#3 Second choice. &nbsp;#2 comes third. </p> <p>ETA -- the belted jacket is the most trending silhouette IMO -- which weighs in my opinion.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose#post-1443574 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 17:00:28 +0000 Anonymous 1443574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to suggest 1 and 3 as looking most like your draped style, but 2 in black would be lots of fun to try. I have a ( thrifted) black leather Gap blazer and it is quite versatile. It also adds a texture to an all black outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose#post-1443572 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 16:53:45 +0000 Marilyn 1443572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my favourite.&nbsp; I love the shape and the drape.<br />I also like the thought of a black leather blazer although it's pretty classic looking.&nbsp; I think it might be a nice contrast with some of your drapey pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose#post-1443570 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 16:47:56 +0000 Anonymous 1443570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with<b>&nbsp;Meredith</b> above --&nbsp;the first thing I noticed about&nbsp;#2 was that it looked a little stodgy&nbsp;(except for the color) and&nbsp;didn't seem to suit&nbsp;your style at all. I'd be curious to see how you could make it work though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose#post-1443566 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 16:25:08 +0000 amiable 1443566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #3 in black too, but really like all three of them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose#post-1443554 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 16:14:01 +0000 Thistle 1443554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not reading anyone else's comments, here we go:<br />#1<br />#3<br />#2</p> <p>I would put three first IF it were black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose#post-1443551 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 16:11:30 +0000 Lisa 1443551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote 1 and 2, both have structural elements that I associate with your style. &nbsp;#3 looks a little softer versus the other 2 pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose#post-1443508 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 14:37:53 +0000 Meredith 1443508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun! I like 1. Although I like the idea of a leather blazer,there's something about the stance of the red jacket that seems not as current. I feel like if you're going to wear such a classic piece it needs to be a very modern version to work with the other things you own. But I don't wear many blazers. Anyone else have reservations about the stance? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose#post-1443485 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 13:42:51 +0000 carolbee 1443485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't read any other replies. My favourites are 1 &amp; 3, I love wrap styles. Having said that they are very similar, so perhaps pick your favourite out of those two plus #2. How is this going to work, are you going to be photograhed out and about wearing them? Will we be able to say we knew Deborah back when she was a mere mortal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose#post-1443483 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 13:42:03 +0000 Elizabeth P 1443483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm kind of with Carter on this one.&nbsp; When I looked at them I thought #1 for sure (but is it different enough from other things you have?&nbsp; it's so your style, it may end up being not unique enough, or already present in your wardrobe in some similar form to be worn much).&nbsp; #3 was my second choice (not sure about the grey though, perhaps in black?&nbsp; But then have the same possible questions as I have for #1).&nbsp; #2 is beautiful, just seems more tailored and classic than I'd expect on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose#post-1443480 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 13:38:49 +0000 lyn67 1443480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nr 1.

I just can't wrap my head around #2 for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-help-me-choose#post-1443465 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 12:09:29 +0000 Sharon 1443465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's very exciting, Deborah. I think #1 is the obvious choice, of course. But I really like the idea of #2 in black. The colour will allow it to slot in to your wardrobe, and the more classic style will serve as an interesting juxtaposition to your softer, drapey clothes. The red is very dramatic, but I worry that having a strong colour will make the classic style more evident, and boss your other clothes around. </p>
