I think I might actually own most of the pieces, but my jacket is olive - would that still work with the pink pants and denim shirt? Hmmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-recreate-this-look-or-finding-a-perfect-utility-jacket#post-654565 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 11:38:53 +0000 lyn67 654565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So edgy, dressy colorfull pants and equipment jacket! will like to see it on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-recreate-this-look-or-finding-a-perfect-utility-jacket#post-654489 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 07:08:18 +0000 harmonica 654489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh I love this look! thank you for this inspirational post! :-)</p> <p>I actually have a similar jacket, though not as structured. it's a long time since I used it, and as I remember it runs a bit large at the shoulders, but again it is a piece from my mon, so I'll live with that. I'll wear it some day soon (without the jewellery, too) I love how the feminine colour on the trousers + pumps are paired with the rougher utility jacket. The jacket actually enhances the feminine vibe (IMO) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-recreate-this-look-or-finding-a-perfect-utility-jacket#post-654441 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 04:21:01 +0000 Angie 654441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer an olive for you, Tanya. And definitely an olive for Jonesy! I wonder if Rugby has these jackets? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-recreate-this-look-or-finding-a-perfect-utility-jacket#post-654436 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 03:47:34 +0000 Parsley 654436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's one I've ordered but haven't received yet that may be promising:</p> <p><a href="http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/77213" rel="nofollow">http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/77213</a></p> <p>It also comes in petites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-recreate-this-look-or-finding-a-perfect-utility-jacket#post-654419 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 02:50:12 +0000 Tanya 654419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much ladies!</p> <p>Abie, those look grea, but usually Eddie Bauer fits too big for me, But it's worth a try.</p> <p>Jonesy, I know, my logical area of the brain tells me to stay away from beige, but the emotional one likes to fight it occasionally :)</p> <p>Suz, which one did you try, #2 or #3 (both are Gap)? We can look for these jackets together. I do not want to settle for something less than perfect. I am curious to see what Rae and Nancy lee will say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-recreate-this-look-or-finding-a-perfect-utility-jacket#post-654417 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 02:44:37 +0000 Suz 654417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look, too, Tanya, and I think you'd look amazing in it. </p> <p>Rae has several utility jackets, and Nancylee has one, too, I think. I hope they chime in. </p> <p>I suspect that beige example might not be the best colour for you, but hey...you can't say for sure until you try it! The green could work, I think. </p> <p>I tried on that Gap jacket the other day. The fit was off on me and the quality wasn't brilliant, but truthfully, if it had fit better I would probably have bought it. I have developed a yen for this type of jacket, too, in the last few days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-recreate-this-look-or-finding-a-perfect-utility-jacket#post-654416 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 02:43:41 +0000 Jonesy 654416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am searching for the perfect utility jacket, so I feel your pain! I think the fit is so key. Not sure about the lighter, beige color for you--you'd probably have to try them on to really tell. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-recreate-this-look-or-finding-a-perfect-utility-jacket#post-654413 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 02:36:02 +0000 Abie 654413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No idea how these are on, but there are a couple of options at Eddie Bauer that might work well and come in several colors. </p> <p>The textured herringbone jacket and the Stine four pocket field jacket are the two I was thinking but there are some others too. </p> <p><a href="http://www.eddiebauer.com/EB/Women/Outerwear-Jackets--Blazers/index.cat" rel="nofollow">http://www.eddiebauer.com/EB/W...../index.cat</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-recreate-this-look-or-finding-a-perfect-utility-jacket#post-654404 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 02:23:11 +0000 Tanya 654404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much Angie! I will check out Zara! Do you think I could get away with a color like #2 or I should stick to safer version like #3? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-recreate-this-look-or-finding-a-perfect-utility-jacket#post-654403 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 02:21:15 +0000 Angie 654403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zara has these jackets at the moment too. Love both that you linked to as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-recreate-this-look-or-finding-a-perfect-utility-jacket#post-654402 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 02:19:57 +0000 Tanya 654402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found this look on the web yesterday and fell in love. I am pretty much obsessed with the idea of recreating it (minus all the jewelry), especially since I own skinny jeans in that orchid color.</p> <p>The main element that I am lacking is the jacket. I have been wanting a military/utility cargo jacket for a while, but never invested time in finding one. So, I looked all over the web and found many "almost-s" but nothing quite right ( I have included photos of two such examples from Gap). I am looking for something lightweight, and a bit more refined. Ideally the sleeves could be zipped out. Most of the ones I am finding are darker, more traditional military green, but that would still work ( or not?) Would the color of jacket in #2 be too much of a soul-sucking-beige for a pale blonde like me? All the ideas and thoughts are more than welcome. </p>
