Even if it isn't fully boyfriend-y, I'm glad it at least looks okay. I'll have to give it a shot another time with my Cons to try to capture a casual look and see how that changes things. Angie, I like your idea of the longer layer - maybe having a tunic or longer top would give me more of a "boyfriend" vibe even though the blazer isn't very long.<br /> Shiny, unfortunately this is as far as the sleeves will roll. I like the blazer for more formal wear because the sleeves fit well, but it makes it tricky to roll or pull them up to the elbow.<br /> Anyway, thank you all for your helpful suggestions, and I will keep trying out this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-boyfriend-blazer#post-107412 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:47:43 +0000 Angie 107412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look adorable, Kari! Works for me. </p> <p>I'd like to see a longer layer peeking out from under the blazer. More cheeky! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-boyfriend-blazer#post-107371 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:16:13 +0000 shiny 107371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the call out Kari!</p> <p>Whether or not it's a true BF look, I think it's cute and I do this with my other jackets too. In fact, I did this just this week with my jacket from HK. I would try pushing the sleeves up higher - above the elbow. I've also been playing around with wearing shorter jackets like this over longer, even tunic-length tops. </p> <p>This weekend try that jacket with a graphic tee and converses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-boyfriend-blazer#post-107361 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:11:12 +0000 yublocka 107361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Kari I agree it may not be 100% boyfriendy, but it looks great. As do both your other outfits. I simply can't pick a fave! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-boyfriend-blazer#post-107338 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:52:12 +0000 bella 107338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-boyfriend-blazer#post-107335 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:47:15 +0000 shell 107335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although it's not exactly a BF blazer, it still looks fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-boyfriend-blazer#post-107322 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:02:53 +0000 stringy 107322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the look is really cute, although the shoes take it in a different direction from the formula BF blazer look, I think. But the jacket is a great fit for you and looks good with the sleeves up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-boyfriend-blazer#post-107316 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:37:19 +0000 Kari 107316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not found a boyfriend blazer that worked on me and am not sure I want to bother investing time/money in a search for one, but today I tried out Angie's suggestion of wearing a standard structured blazer in a more scrunched-up style to mimic a boyfriend blazer. This is actually the blazer I wore for my job interviews in September.</p> <p>Does this work or come close to the look? If not, what else I could try to hit the mark on Angie's flop-proof formula #5? (I wore this to work, so substituted skinny jeans and pumps instead of Converse sneakers.)</p> <p><a href="http://inkariswardrobe.blogspot.com/2009/11/not-so-boyfriend-blazer.html" rel="nofollow">http://inkariswardrobe.blogspo.....lazer.html</a> </p>
