Unstyled this jacket still sings with what you have on. I absolutely LOVE it. (I am also drooling but that may just be the hormones ;-)) The color is fabulous on you. I can't wait to see how you really style this jacket but you should know this looks like a "real" outfit too. Darn it girl you look chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-my-birthday-the-other-bdbg-not-styled-kr/page/2#post-1240487 Sat, 03 May 2014 01:23:35 +0000 Angela K 1240487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So awesome! Both your hubby and your beautiful new jacket. Totally love the shape and the flaps, incredibly flattering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-my-birthday-the-other-bdbg-not-styled-kr/page/2#post-1240129 Fri, 02 May 2014 19:37:59 +0000 Neel 1240129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg! That's one awesome jacket!! And I am saving that mantra in my shopping memory </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-my-birthday-the-other-bdbg-not-styled-kr/page/2#post-1240120 Fri, 02 May 2014 19:30:37 +0000 catgirl 1240120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE this on you. I actually saw it online but wrote it off as not really wearable. But now I want it! Happy birthday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-my-birthday-the-other-bdbg-not-styled-kr/page/2#post-1240117 Fri, 02 May 2014 19:28:10 +0000 Karie 1240117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Angie, I will be wearing this for my birthday. And I appreciate your honesty, as I'm sure everyone does. It's the best way to&nbsp;learn what looks good and what doesn't. If a garment does or&nbsp;doesn't work for me, I want to know about it right away, no sugar coating!&nbsp;All too often, we&nbsp;(I) purchase items thinking "Maybe I can make this work for me." An important lesson I've learned from you and my other YLF friends is <b><i>"Don't try to make the garment work for you. It either does or it doesn't, and if it doesn't, there is something better out there for you."</p> <p></i></b>And yea for so many of us finding our perfect fitting garments! How could we not, being under the guidance of an expert fashion stylist!<b><i><br /></i></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-my-birthday-the-other-bdbg-not-styled-kr#post-1240061 Fri, 02 May 2014 18:28:35 +0000 Lisa 1240061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun new blazer and a great color on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-my-birthday-the-other-bdbg-not-styled-kr#post-1240007 Fri, 02 May 2014 17:39:16 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1240007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So gorgeous on you Karie it ought to be illegal!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-my-birthday-the-other-bdbg-not-styled-kr#post-1239944 Fri, 02 May 2014 16:13:22 +0000 Angie 1239944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woooohoooooo. SO EXCITED about your beautiful new jacket. Are you going to wear it on your birthday?&nbsp;</p> <p>(I'd have told you if I thought the fit was off, Karie. Suz and I discussed&nbsp;that the flaps hung too low on her because she's shorter - but on you - the flaps are not on your crotch point. And you know - Suz found her killer&nbsp;jackets at Reiss and Tahari. It's all good).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-my-birthday-the-other-bdbg-not-styled-kr#post-1239860 Fri, 02 May 2014 15:02:51 +0000 Anonymous 1239860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

Period. 1239402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's gorgeous on you! I love it. I love the way it looks with the white top and the jeans, even. &nbsp;I think you are going to get a ton of wear from it. &nbsp;Definitely a keeper!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-my-birthday-the-other-bdbg-not-styled-kr#post-1239400 Fri, 02 May 2014 02:16:38 +0000 Karie 1239400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! I'm glad to see that I haven't been blinded by my love for the fit and feel of this blazer.&nbsp;</p> <p>You're right Mo, the taupe does have a blush tint to it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pil, I have found my store! I've always fit well in BCBGeneration, and Max Azria fits me even better. It's crazy, it's like both blazers were made exactly to my measurements!&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz and Sveta, the movement of the flaps doesn't bother me - what I was originally not sure about in Boston was that the flaps add volume to my trouble spot - my belly. But I am at peace with that, mostly because when in BCBG in Boston, I asked Angie if it made my belly look bigger and she replied, "No! What belly?" Now we all know Angie has that x-ray vision and can spot an ill-fitting or non figure&nbsp;flattering garment from miles away. Also, the flaps are intentional, and while they add volume to the garment, it's intentional. It's not like wearing a regular blazer and turning sideways and having it look like my belly's sticking out. Or maybe the flaps actually hide my belly in the side view. Or maybe I'm just blinded by blazer love. Whateva, I'm keeping it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-my-birthday-the-other-bdbg-not-styled-kr#post-1239399 Fri, 02 May 2014 02:15:26 +0000 Mo 1239399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! &nbsp;It looks more blush taupe than beige to me. &nbsp;But whatever color we call it, it's wonderful on you! &nbsp;Such cool lapels.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-my-birthday-the-other-bdbg-not-styled-kr#post-1239357 Fri, 02 May 2014 01:25:21 +0000 unfrumped 1239357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic in that combination of crisp white, beige, and blue denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-my-birthday-the-other-bdbg-not-styled-kr#post-1239347 Fri, 02 May 2014 01:19:42 +0000 Carla 1239347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket was made for you! I love how beautifully it fits you in the shoulders, and the colour is lovely with your fairness. I vote 'keep' and wear. Lots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-my-birthday-the-other-bdbg-not-styled-kr#post-1239337 Fri, 02 May 2014 01:14:52 +0000 Suz 1239337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks absolutely <b>STUNNING</b> on you, Karie! WOW!!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Your hubs is a dear one.&nbsp;</p> <p>I loved this jacket, too, but felt as Sveta did about the flaps. In the photos it looks so good, though, that you are making me wish I took it anyway! That's how well you wear it!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-my-birthday-the-other-bdbg-not-styled-kr#post-1239332 Fri, 02 May 2014 01:12:19 +0000 Angie 1239332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer.

Are you OK with them - I&nbsp;may be much fussier than you :-)<br />Actually I like it exactly like you styled it her with white shirt and faded BF - perfect! The only think I would change is the shoes - black feels a bit heavy here but otherwise it is heavenly! </p>
