I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-sweatshirt-blazer----yay-or-nay#post-553527 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 16:28:18 +0000 Heather 553527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A sweatshirt blazer sounds like heaven. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-sweatshirt-blazer----yay-or-nay#post-553525 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 16:24:59 +0000 Diana 553525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, I think I would go for a darker, more charcoal grey. I do think that grey is a good slightly more casual alternative to black, esp. for a blazer which can look very businessy and formal in black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-sweatshirt-blazer----yay-or-nay#post-553500 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 16:03:27 +0000 Anonymous 553500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well it's a notch up from a grey sweatshirt pullover for sure. Do you have a bright blazer for spring? With your coloring I'd think there would be a lot of colors out right now that would look fantastic on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-sweatshirt-blazer----yay-or-nay#post-553471 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 15:34:38 +0000 Angie 553471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The concept is not a bad one! But I do worry about the colour, Mander. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-sweatshirt-blazer----yay-or-nay#post-553430 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:25:38 +0000 teri 553430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love grey, it's my black :)<br /> Really need to see the fit. If you win it, post it on you styled </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-sweatshirt-blazer----yay-or-nay#post-553427 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:24:07 +0000 Mander 553427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sadly it's another eBay thing so I won't know how it fits until I get it. It came from a catalog place, too, so no in-store trials.</p> <p>But you guys encouraged me so I went ahead and bid on it. We shall see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-sweatshirt-blazer----yay-or-nay#post-553405 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:01:42 +0000 modgrl 553405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It all depends on the fit. Can you try it on with skinnies and boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-sweatshirt-blazer----yay-or-nay#post-553404 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:00:02 +0000 Beth Ann 553404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I, too, don't like loads of grey near my face, but I love it as neutral. It can be paired with citron or yellow for a modern look, cobalt, navy, black, denim, orange.....the possibilities are huge. I say go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-sweatshirt-blazer----yay-or-nay#post-553386 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 12:10:49 +0000 jenanded 553386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think swap your sweatshirt for this jacket... It sounds like you would use it for same purpose, grey is already in your wardrobe, and its really versatile as others have mentioned in being able to mix loads of other colours from reds, purples through to oranges and greens as well.... Nice choice I think! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-sweatshirt-blazer----yay-or-nay#post-553385 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 11:59:06 +0000 JulieinMI 553385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mander, I have an older Tommy Hilfiger one that I really like. The last time I had it on I wore it with a denim shirt and magenta color scarf. I look forward to spring because I will wear it more when I don't have to bundle it under a jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-sweatshirt-blazer----yay-or-nay#post-553379 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 11:29:12 +0000 Aunty 553379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mander I think that is a great jacket. You can add colour and dress it up or down.</p> <p>Go for it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-sweatshirt-blazer----yay-or-nay#post-553365 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 10:49:19 +0000 Mander 553365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do ok in grey, at least I think I do. Honestly I find it hard to detect when people look "washed out" by particular colors unless it is a very dramatic effect.</p> <p>This winter I have acquired several grey things, including a suede jacket, and I have a jean jacket that was once black but is now grey. My only grey cardigan is a pretty sad shapeless acrylic thing, though, and I envision this blazer functioning in a similar way but with a little more style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-sweatshirt-blazer----yay-or-nay#post-553353 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 09:38:38 +0000 Mrs Moo 553353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what you mean about grey. Personally I can't really wear it as it makes me look really washed out, but as you're a blonde it may look awesome. Do you currently wear any grey?</p> <p>I can see from your profile pic that red looks really good on you, so maybe the grey blazer with red scarf, white T and jeans would be a good place to start. I don't think the colour would make it look too casual, it would be all in what it's worn with :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-sweatshirt-blazer----yay-or-nay#post-553348 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 09:15:24 +0000 Mander 553348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know lots of you have fleecy blazers in various nifty colors, but what do you think of plain grey? I'm looking at one in the 'boyfriend' style, with turned back cuffs, etc. It seems like a great item in many ways -- warm, comfy, yet more polished looking than an actual sweatshirt would be. And it's definitely better looking than my current "schlepping around the house" items. </p> <p>But I'm not so sure about the grey color. Does that make it look too casual and sweatshirt-like for actually wearing out of the house? </p>
