I'm getting rid of the pussy bow boles and will look foe something better to wear under the jacket. I agree about the trousers. I need to do something to disguise my short torso and wide hips </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-military-jacket---styling#post-1043098 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 13:46:00 +0000 Glory 1043098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel the jacket is a keeper for sure. I like 4 and 6 the most but others work as well.&nbsp;<br />On the&nbsp;blouse - I would try taking off the bow and see if you like it more. If not, someone else is out there waiting to enjoy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-military-jacket---styling#post-1043079 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 13:15:08 +0000 Janet 1043079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, it's so nice to see you posting again!</p> <p>I think the jacket is great on you. I agree with the others -- I'd just keep the top underneath simple so it doesn't compete.</p> <p>I'm not a huge fan of PB blouses to begin with, but that one doesn't seem to have a stellar fit on you, so I would also consider letting it go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-military-jacket---styling#post-1043077 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 13:13:36 +0000 Nicole D 1043077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! Would love to see the red skirt with a lower contrast top and the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-military-jacket---styling#post-1043076 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 13:13:30 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1043076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic jacket for you Amy - and I have to say it is sooooo nice to see you again My faves are 3, 4, 6 and 7. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-military-jacket---styling#post-1043058 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 13:03:35 +0000 Suz 1043058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the new versions!&nbsp;</p> <p>I wonder if you can save the blouse by removing the bow?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-military-jacket---styling#post-1043038 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 12:10:31 +0000 pil 1043038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, you added pictures after I commented - #6 is a wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-military-jacket---styling#post-1042953 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 06:04:54 +0000 Lantana 1042953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous jacket. I like it best with the dress and tucked if you're going to wear a skirt and top.<br /> You could try dressing this jacket down with jeans and a white buttondown.<br /> I am sending you a gentle virtual nudge in the direction of chucking the moneypenny blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-military-jacket---styling#post-1042950 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 05:46:16 +0000 Marley 1042950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow - you look so pretty Amy!&nbsp; #6 is my favorite - I love the feminine dress matched with the strict military jacket.&nbsp; #4 is my next favorite look - but I'd try it with a simpler top - so that the neckline does not compete with the jacket neckline.&nbsp; In fact, I would not wear a necklace with this jacket - you don't need it - there is enough going on with the jacket to keep one's interest.&nbsp; I'm not crazy about the outfits with the pants - I don't think the jacket is hitting you at the right place to wear pants - maybe it needs to be longer?&nbsp; Also, not real crazy about the polka dot skirt with the jacket - to me, the polka dots, along with the high waist of the skirt, compete with the buttons and line of the military jacket.&nbsp; If I had this jacket I think I'd experiment and try it with a really girly bottom - like a lace or ruffled skirt and a plain top.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-military-jacket---styling#post-1042933 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 04:20:52 +0000 Amy 1042933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-military-jacket---styling#post-1042932 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 04:09:35 +0000 goldenpig 1042932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3!

I love #6 it looks real fashiony.<br />LEAST favorite #5, sorry, I actively cringed. I think the waist is just too high. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-military-jacket---styling#post-1042903 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 02:49:26 +0000 Amy 1042903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback, ladies!

Another fan of the tucked blouse with skirt, but maybe untucked with a more casual top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-military-jacket---styling#post-1042825 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 00:58:36 +0000 K. Period. 1042825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! Tucked with the skirts looks best, but I bet it would look fine untucked with pants. (That whole longer with pants, shorter with skirts thing.) &nbsp;Super cute. &nbsp;And by the way, are you taller? You look super tall super modely&nbsp;today.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-military-jacket---styling#post-1042823 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 00:56:12 +0000 Runs With Scissors 1042823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jacket, and I like the way you styled it. &nbsp;My favorite look is gray skirt, blouse tucked in. &nbsp;The neutral palette lets the little details of the jacket take center stage. &nbsp; I think the jacket could look great with a higher-waisted pant too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-military-jacket---styling#post-1042817 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 00:44:48 +0000 Caro in Oz 1042817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket on you &amp; with the skirts &amp; boots. My only reservation is the blouse, I would like to see the jacket with a simple top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-military-jacket---styling#post-1042814 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 00:42:38 +0000 Anonymous 1042814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jacket! I really like how you have styled it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-military-jacket---styling#post-1042808 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 00:34:48 +0000 Suz 1042808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG -- I fell totally in love with this jacket in the store but they did not have my size or it would have come home with me. &nbsp;<div><br />I love it with a tucked shirt best and I think it's best with the skirts, but might work with the pants if you do tuck. Either that or a lower contrast top, might do the trick.&nbsp;</p> <p>So great to see you again, Amy!</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-military-jacket---styling#post-1042789 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 00:09:52 +0000 rachylou 1042789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with the red skirt. That punch of colour. But I also like it with the grey. Sophisticated. I say tucked shirt. Military calls for neatness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-military-jacket---styling#post-1042781 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 23:57:48 +0000 Amy 1042781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought this H&amp;M Military jacket today. I have always loved these very structured styles. Does it look ok on my figure? Do you like it styled in any of the ways I have pictured below? Suggestions are welcome too.</p> <p>ETA: See pictures 5-8.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the suggestions! Thanks to Suz for the suggestion to try lower contrast tops and bottoms. I think that helps. Also, I felt the pencil skirts + boxy jacket made me look awfully rectangular, so I tried fuller skirts. 5 will work. I can't wear the dress in 6 anymore b/c I've gained too much weight and can't breathe in it. I'll either have to lose weight or sew a larger dress Also, thanks for the suggestion to try a simpler top. I keep trying to wear that silk pussy bow blouse and never feel very good in it. It may be time to toss it.</p> </p>
