Really? It wouldn't pay to have that altered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-if-this-jacket-fitskeep-or-return#post-469598 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 03:44:54 +0000 modgrl 469598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been checking out this one too! I'm glad you tried it and posted pictures. I have a few of the nordstrom's juniors jackets and they have been surprisingly very nice quality. I think this one would be super long on me though. I've had luck with their open jackets that don't have a front button closure, that seems to be the key for non-petite jackets for me. It's a cute jacket but I too think you can do better. Please post your finds, I would love to find a red jacket too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-if-this-jacket-fitskeep-or-return#post-469444 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 01:33:08 +0000 rachylou 469444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was too big on you, but at the same time too short to be a proper boyfriend jacket... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-if-this-jacket-fitskeep-or-return#post-469423 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 00:50:24 +0000 Queen Mum 469423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never think of Victoria's Secret Anna... I'll have to check them out. </p> <p>Thanks all for chiming in with your honest assessments. I do see what many of you are seeing.... I can find better. I think often my perception is skewed by the fact that I've admired something on-line for a long time, then finally order it, look at the link every day in gleeful anticipation of it's arrival, and then I FINALLY have it on my body (cue heavenly music). It takes a while for my brain to comprehend what my eyes see... it didn't live up to my expectations. That's why I"m so glad I have all of you!</p> <p>On to the next red jacket to obsess over... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-if-this-jacket-fitskeep-or-return#post-469422 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 00:48:48 +0000 sarah 469422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others - color= 10, fit/quality = meh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-if-this-jacket-fitskeep-or-return#post-469390 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 23:58:05 +0000 annagybe 469390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late here but I'm glad you're returning it.

I know BF jackets/blazers are supposed to be a looser fit, but they should fit well at the shoulders and to my eye this looks a tad big at the shoulders on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-if-this-jacket-fitskeep-or-return#post-469370 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 23:29:30 +0000 Queen Mum 469370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Parsley... that is how I'm starting to feel after mulling it over. I am going to outfit it tomorrow morning with jeans and see how I feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-if-this-jacket-fitskeep-or-return#post-469367 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 23:26:26 +0000 Kate 469367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, quality-wise, I think you could do better too. I've learned my lesson the hard way about altering jackets — don't do it unless you absolutely love it, and you know you'll keep it in your closet for years. Jacket alterations, even simple ones, are not cheap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-if-this-jacket-fitskeep-or-return#post-469365 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 23:25:36 +0000 Queen Mum 469365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly- I"ve looked in H&amp;M but I'm wanting red and didn't see any. I keep forgetting to check New York and Co... that's where I got my white jacket this summer. Maybe I'll swing in there tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-if-this-jacket-fitskeep-or-return#post-469364 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 23:25:03 +0000 Parsley 469364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the color is great for you, and I think that overall it's *fine*, but having seen how terrific you can and do look in your other outfits, I'd hold out for something *great*. You could have it altered to fit better, but it's probably not worth investing the money at that price point, IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-if-this-jacket-fitskeep-or-return#post-469360 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 23:23:47 +0000 kellygirl 469360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it as a boyfriend blazer. The color is scrumptious. I agree that it doesn't look as polished as some of the basic women's brands--I'm thinking Halogen, Gibson, etc. I think you could find a more tailored blazer in one of those brands but it's going to be difficult to find a similar color. I really liked your NY&amp;C blazer you got this summer--that was a light weight piece, no? Is it similar in quality and fit? H&amp;M had a lot of blazers too. Have you checked there? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-if-this-jacket-fitskeep-or-return#post-469341 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:54:12 +0000 nancylee 469341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks a little big on you, but it's supposed to be a "boyfriend" blazer look--right? Hmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-if-this-jacket-fitskeep-or-return#post-469333 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:38:41 +0000 rae 469333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I'd tailor it if it is just going to be a hole filler. IDK, it looks a little flimsy on my screen. I think you could do better... :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-if-this-jacket-fitskeep-or-return#post-469327 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:28:01 +0000 san 469327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a beautiful color that's for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-if-this-jacket-fitskeep-or-return#post-469324 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:24:37 +0000 Queen Mum 469324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>mtb... that's what I'm thinking.... that it's a half size too big. I'm wondering if a quick nip and tuck might do the trick. I've never altered a jacket before though.</p> <p>Mo..yes, it's the Jou Jou. I was surprised at how tailored it was actually... which I like. And the color is perfect. But for the price this can't be a quick hole filler until something else comes along. oh, and yes, the sleeves are plenty long unrolled.</p> <p>I do need to try it on with jeans I realize. I think the dress makes it harder to tell...which incidentally the dress is sleeveless so there is no underlayer filling anything out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-if-this-jacket-fitskeep-or-return#post-469321 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:20:38 +0000 Mo 469321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this the Jou Jou? If so, it seems more tailored and fitted on you. Likely because you are over 15 and have breasts lol! I like it. Are the sleeves long enough when unrolled? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-if-this-jacket-fitskeep-or-return#post-469320 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:20:12 +0000 morethanbeige 469320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>QM, I am thinking it looks a tad big, although, it looks like it is supposed to fit loose as per the model. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-if-this-jacket-fitskeep-or-return#post-469316 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:16:51 +0000 Queen Mum 469316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>being a juniors brand, I ordered the large, which was all that was available in red anyway. What do we think of the fit?</p> <p>here it is on the young cute model...<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/jou-jou-ponte-knit-blazer-juniors/3223660?origin=wishlist" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/jo.....n=wishlist</a></p> <p>here it is on old-fart me </p>
