I'll bet you can rock it. Gingham is big right now, as are patterned blazers so I say go for it! It fits you like a dream. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gingham-jacket--fab-or-frumpy#post-552855 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 20:20:20 +0000 Meredith1953 552855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HI Celia,<br /> The jacket looks like it fits you very well and I like the contrasting trim. It has potential and as other people have pointed out it is going to depend on how you style it! Even if you have a few doubts try it on with anything and everything. It is surprising how another item of clothing can just make a piece work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gingham-jacket--fab-or-frumpy#post-552789 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 19:07:23 +0000 celia 552789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>texstyle I guess most of my not feeling Fab ib this has to do with my preconceived notions of how to style a jacket like this.<br /> Adding, as you are saying,a bright top or another print might make a world of diference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gingham-jacket--fab-or-frumpy#post-552780 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 18:56:13 +0000 texstyle 552780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I'm the odd one out I guess. I'm not feeling the same "love" for this pattern and I"m not sure I like the lapel. It would be okay with a bright colored top under it or bright floral I guess but to me it's only okay. If you don't feel really good when you put it on... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gingham-jacket--fab-or-frumpy#post-552775 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 18:52:07 +0000 celia 552775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooooh looks like I will be able to work this jacket without feeling like a old lady :-)<br /> Your suggestions are great.And, of course, I was thinking of taking Angies's directives for the stripped blazers and apply them to this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gingham-jacket--fab-or-frumpy#post-552766 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 18:37:50 +0000 krishnidoux 552766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks really good.

Not frumpy in the slightest. I especially like the length and contrasting trim. Yank that out of the closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gingham-jacket--fab-or-frumpy#post-552680 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 16:55:29 +0000 Claudia 552680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it could be fab styled right: left unbuttoned over a trendy colored blouse, (I don't know your best colors) like a citron/lime silk top and some trendy colored and complimentary accessories. For some reason this look/color combo came to mind: <a href="http://www.wendyslookbook.com/2012/02/limonade-neon-blouse-spike-flats/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wendyslookbook.com/.....ike-flats/</a></p> <p>Not with shoes like this, which wouldn't work with the gingham jacket (but these shoes are killing me, they are so fab). And worn with black or white pants, or dark denim jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gingham-jacket--fab-or-frumpy#post-552649 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 16:15:02 +0000 Girl X 552649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way fab - I'd love this with a bright jewel tone underneath as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gingham-jacket--fab-or-frumpy#post-552636 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 15:52:35 +0000 Nakidra 552636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's all in the styling .... It's cute and can look very modern if you style it right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gingham-jacket--fab-or-frumpy#post-552634 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 15:50:39 +0000 Velma 552634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute! Wear it over a bright solid or floral dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gingham-jacket--fab-or-frumpy#post-552627 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 15:46:15 +0000 Anonymous 552627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might use it for some fun pattern mixing with a floral or large polkadots. Gingham seems trendy right now, so you could be on the cutting edge wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gingham-jacket--fab-or-frumpy#post-552624 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 15:41:53 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 552624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gingham-jacket--fab-or-frumpy#post-552620 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 15:35:21 +0000 Carole 552620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So similar to the blazers Angie showed us this morning, I'd like to see it on, but looks cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gingham-jacket--fab-or-frumpy#post-552617 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 15:28:52 +0000 celia 552617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello YLF,<br /> After the great post this morning and all those great striped blazers I start thinking that I have this one from 2 years ago.<br /> But I need an opinion about this print, is it old fashioned or can I happily wear this as my printed blazer when spring comes? </p>
