I think you found the right one! All of your styling iterations look great. So glad you decided to keep it. OH and I did notice the arm scrunch really helped w/proportions, so I was glad to see that worked for you to scrunch them.&nbsp; Thanks again and great purchase! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled/page/2#post-1944677 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 15:16:27 +0000 Jenn 1944677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>abc, I got the XXL and I’m glad I did. It’s nice to actually have room to layer a sweater under. I’ve been searching for a new blazer forever, too, and had issues with sizing, as I also wanted kind of a cool oversized look rather than a classic fitted one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled/page/2#post-1944675 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 15:07:15 +0000 Suz 1944675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>YAY!!!!</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled/page/2#post-1944670 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 15:04:11 +0000 Angie 1944670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY. YOU'RE KEEPING THE BLAZER.&nbsp;</p> <p>*HAPPY DANCE*</p> <p>Excellent wild card, and you styled it with sass and verve, <b>Jenn</b>.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled/page/2#post-1944666 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 15:01:19 +0000 abc 1944666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I keep coming back to see how you've styled this. I have wanted a new blazer for ages.&nbsp; Now I'm thinking something like this could be just the wardrobe refresh I need for fall.&nbsp; I'm feeling kind of bored with the same old. This 80s is new again feel with the long length is intriguing me, mostly to see it on you considering you're more my size than the online models. I really didn't think my proportions and body shape could pull this off, but seeing it on you is making me really reconsider. May I ask what size you got? I'm thinking I may need the XXL in order to have the looser layering effect you got esp in the last pic (LOVE that one btw). Anyway, thanks for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled/page/2#post-1944659 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 14:52:17 +0000 Jenn 1944659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kkards, I’m sure it would work for that sort of look, but I’m not a shorts person, so not for me!</p> <p>Suntiger, I had the same thought about it being great with white bottoms. That’s not a look I own or wear, but it would be a slam dunk for those who do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled/page/2#post-1944571 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 11:12:47 +0000 Anonymous 1944571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Im thinking white or light grey skinnies with it, or blush/melon! I liked the higher contrast versions more for you than the black top with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled/page/2#post-1944558 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 10:40:32 +0000 kkards 1944558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow....i think they all look great....<br />and since the 80s seem to be coming back, i'm wondering how you would feel about the blazer with shorts....i loved this look way back then... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled/page/2#post-1944531 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 07:22:56 +0000 jussie 1944531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok well I’m loving 1, 2 and 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled/page/2#post-1944518 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 05:28:15 +0000 Jenn 1944518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Firecracker! I did think of florals, but the one I think would work best is at the tailor at the moment being shortened from a long tunic into a blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled/page/2#post-1944515 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 05:17:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1944515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Glad you gave it a try and are keeping! I love 1 and 2, and the crossover tops with the blazer are very cool, too. Not something I would have thought of, but the light gray one looks especially nice to me with the pinstripes and the extra drapey lines in the top. I like your last outfit, too.</div><div>Another thought I had was wearing the blazer with florals. Not sure if you have floral tops you'd want to try with it, but especially with the skinny jeans or leggings/boots, I could see a floral working.&nbsp; <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled/page/2#post-1944505 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 03:32:58 +0000 Jenn 1944505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colette, I didn’t think I’d like the mixed stripes either!! The pinstripes are subtle enough that it doesn’t bother me at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled#post-1944490 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 02:56:53 +0000 Jenn 1944490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I’m going to keep it. Being able to roll the sleeves clinched it, but a bonus is that some of these pieces I styled it with have been languishing in my closet and needed a piece like this to make them feel fresh again. And it will help transition some of my summer tops into fall! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled#post-1944481 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 02:42:20 +0000 Suz 1944481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, that last look with the tall boots and our EF sweater is K2K!! Amazing!!</p> <p>I also love all the others, don't get me wrong.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hope you will keep this. I really love it on you. I am a sucker for navy pinstripe, period, so I might be biased, admittedly. But I think it works especially well with all the cognacs/ tans/ tobaccos and other browns, and it's also great with burgundy, and equally great with grey. So...considering your closet, what is to lose?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled#post-1944475 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 02:12:48 +0000 Colette 1944475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, you did amazing styling here. I really like the mixed stripes and I thought I wouldn’t. Glad you’re keeping it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled#post-1944403 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 22:56:28 +0000 Jenn 1944403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Style Fan, the jeans that didn’t work are the ones I have on in all the photos. They look great, but the comfort isn’t there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled#post-1944401 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 22:54:48 +0000 Jenn 1944401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay. It’s settled then. I will keep, and finally get rid of the black ponte blazer I bought for a conference six years ago. It has seen better days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled#post-1944397 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 22:32:39 +0000 LaPed 1944397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favs are your last two -- the skirt look in the OP and the tall boots/leggings look. So good! And good that you can layer a sweater underneath. I think this might be a keeper after all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled#post-1944394 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 22:20:17 +0000 Anonymous 1944394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good looking blazer, and the fit is bang-on from what I can see. &nbsp;I always like your styling techniques, and all of these look great to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled#post-1944392 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 22:09:41 +0000 Anonymous 1944392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your stylings of the blazer look great!<br /> I like the first one in particular. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled#post-1944391 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 22:07:45 +0000 Diana 1944391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! &nbsp;I love it with the leggings and tall boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled#post-1944388 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 22:01:45 +0000 KnittingGene 1944388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh boom!

And even button sometimes. It’s amazing on you and a good pinstripe (contrast not too high). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled#post-1944358 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 20:58:58 +0000 Sal 1944358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way you have styled it.&nbsp; I especially love 1-3 and the last look with leggings.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I had a black blazer of a similar ilk which I handed on last year (purchased second hand and got two good years from it).&nbsp; I mostly wore it with jeans and a tee, either sneakers or boots or maybe sandal boots.&nbsp; It was a FFBO for many events - school type events, lunch or coffee with friends etc - it was great for lots of mid range weather.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled#post-1944346 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 20:29:58 +0000 Jenn 1944346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One more styling with last year’s asymmetrical EF sweater, tall boots, and leggings. (I have some leather-look leggings or coated jeans on my potential list for this fall for a bit more edge.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled#post-1944339 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 20:12:21 +0000 Susie 1944339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, I love this on you, please keep it! Mine arrived yesterday and I was so excited when I tried it on. I forgot how much I love longer jackets. I'm also keeping the pants. The fabric is so soft and cozy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-blazer-styled#post-1944332 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 19:50:55 +0000 bj1111 1944332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it in #3/4. The cross over top works.
