Fun color, fun fabric (I have nothing against the waffle!) and retro vibe.<br /> I like the sleeves scrunched. You might try layering your blue BB blouse under it and then folding up and scrunching like Angie does? That would break the line of sleeve/coat that was bothering some people?<br /> I liked this with jeans - could be great for casual Fridays! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket---more-pics#post-599057 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 02:21:07 +0000 Jewell 599057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am delighted that you found a green jacket! Love both of these styling options! And did I read somewhere that you bought a magenta jacket, too? A woman after my own heart! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket---more-pics#post-599044 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 02:04:11 +0000 Transcona Shannon 599044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jacket lessons learned:<br /> 1. Good open with sleeves scrunched (popped collar optional)<br /> 2. Not bad belted but with lower contrast belt (please note this belt was only used for "testing" and would not be used IRL)<br /> 3. Still look at having sides nipped in by Wonder Woman (a.k.a. seamstress)</p> <p>Claire - my floral "skirt" is actually my floral dress.</p> <p>Jonesy - the pants are actually espresso brown and I wouldn't pair them with the jacket. It's just what I wore to work today and then got home and popped the jacket over top to see how it looked open. I would definitely pair it with more spring like colours.</p> <p>Thus ends today's green jacket lesson. Thank you everyone for playing along! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket---more-pics#post-599015 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 01:27:33 +0000 Jonesy 599015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it worn open with the sleeves scrunched. I also like it paired with the floral dress (but worn open, without the belt). Don't know about pairing it with black in general (as in 1-2)--somehow it seems too stark or something, like the jacket wants to be with white, or other springy colors, or denim, or light gray, but maybe the pics aren't capturing the color of the jacket properly? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket---more-pics#post-599009 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 01:19:10 +0000 Anonymous 599009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, have we seen that fabulous floral skirt? I'm in LOVE! Incredible on you!<br /> For the jacket, I like it open very much. I'm not sure if I like that type of collar popped. I like the lines of the jacket with it belted--maybe a lower contrast (or even a green) belt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket---more-pics#post-599007 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 01:16:18 +0000 ManidipaM 599007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm liking it both ways! Especially over the pants --- delightful 70s vibe (remember the 'safari suit' jacket?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket---more-pics#post-598991 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:48:42 +0000 Meredith1953 598991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I told you before that I LOVE this jacket! Yes it needs either nipping at the waist to show your curves or a belt......just not THAT belt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket---more-pics#post-598979 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:36:58 +0000 Sveta 598979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it works pretty well open with scrunched sleeves and popped collar. I have suggested the belt but this black one is to harsh here. Try it with a lower contrast belt, it still may work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket---more-pics#post-598974 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:32:51 +0000 Deborah 598974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon I am still loving this jacket on you It looks good belted but my prefence is definitely open or just done up as in your previous post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket---more-pics#post-598960 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:25:08 +0000 Sara L. 598960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jacket looks good both open and belted. I agree with others that maybe a thinner belt would look better. I love, love love those green shoes!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket---more-pics#post-598938 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 23:48:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 598938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK - totally agree that this is not the right belt but it gives an idea of how it would look.</p> <p>Rita - will definitely keep my eye open for the perfect one (see point for Una below re: persistence)</p> <p>Una - oh yeah...I'm like a dog with a bone! Just ask my hubby! (lol) And I totally understand your dislike of waffled items - I think many people have a poisoned eye for that type of fabric.</p> <p>Victoria - thanks! I absolutely adore this particular green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket---more-pics#post-598930 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 23:22:32 +0000 Victoria 598930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the green color on you-its so vibrant and great for spring. Personally, I like your belted look, I think it looks good on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket---more-pics#post-598923 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 23:11:26 +0000 catgirl 598923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My son is working on persistence - he needs lessons from you! I think it works though as I said, I'm not in love with waffled items. You certainly scored in terms of color, and at the price, it is worth it to play around till the perfect item comes along... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket---more-pics#post-598911 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 22:45:59 +0000 modgrl 598911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the way you have it styled here. I would still keep an eye open for the perfect one, but for $10 you can have some fun with this one. Interesting idea to belt it. I would not have though of that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket---more-pics#post-598908 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 22:41:45 +0000 missvee 598908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a keeper! You've got some good options here - I really liked it over the black dress and I think it's great over this flowered skirt too. You might try a narrower belt if you have one. Looks so cute with the shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket---more-pics#post-598903 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 22:31:37 +0000 MsMary 598903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE 1 and 2! Not sure about that particular black belt but I think belting the jacket is an option worth pursung further! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket---more-pics#post-598901 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 22:29:26 +0000 Transcona Shannon 598901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you sick of this jacket yet? I decided after my previous K/R thread on this jacket (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---green-blazer" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....een-blazer</a>) to try another couple of options for styling.These aren't perfect by any means but give some idea as to other ways to wear the jacket.</p> <p>It was suggested trying it open to actually play up the boxiness - that's the option in pic #1 and #2 (just popped it over today's outfit).</p> <p>Other suggested belting it - so I popped it over my floral dress and added a belt (pics #3 and #4). Now this belt is not ideal for this jacket, that's for sure - but again, it gives an idea.</p> <p>What do you think? </p>
