Be glaring! (Can you tell I love #1?) Oh well, if not #1, I like the options with the white jeans (7, 9, and 10). https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-floral-blazer-easter-and-long#post-894323 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 11:52:52 +0000 Jjsloane 894323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Later here, but I like 1, 2, 7 and 9. I'm taking notes as I just got a floral blazer too and now I might even pop it on today! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-floral-blazer-easter-and-long#post-894319 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 11:42:09 +0000 Deborah 894319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Amy, will you forgive me if I go against the tide? &nbsp;I find the cut of the jacket quite dated. &nbsp;To my way of thinking its nice but not prefect. &nbsp;Take my thoughts with a grain of salt though, as when it comes down to it what matters is how you feel in it and how you view it. &nbsp;The colours and pattern are quite lovely on you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-floral-blazer-easter-and-long#post-894280 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 09:17:37 +0000 anne 894280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh I am glad you went for #9. That was my favourite (apart from #1, which I liked even better but agreed wasn't practical for the purpose)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-floral-blazer-easter-and-long#post-894259 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 06:50:46 +0000 goldenpig 894259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #1, #1, #1 by far! Stellar!<br />#9 is my second favorite. Very pretty.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-floral-blazer-easter-and-long#post-894240 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 05:47:23 +0000 amiable 894240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks you all!&nbsp; <br /><br />Beth Ann - Friday went really well.&nbsp; I wore slacks, and was asked at the last minute to do keyboard in addition to flute (not at the same time....).&nbsp; So the versatility of pants paid off.<br /><br />This afternoon I realized that I do really like #1.&nbsp; It felt so loud this morning on the really gray day.&nbsp; But the skirt needs its hem mended, and is too short for my activities tomorrow anyway.&nbsp; I'll wear it soon though.&nbsp; #9 will be tomorrow's Easter outfit.<br /><br />LION KING IS AMAZING!!!!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-floral-blazer-easter-and-long#post-894188 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 03:59:59 +0000 celia 894188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #1, 7 and 9 are my favorite. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-floral-blazer-easter-and-long#post-893883 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 22:35:40 +0000 Beth Ann 893883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #1 is OTT?&nbsp; That's my favorite!&nbsp; Let those singers sit in front of you, but never, never let a soprano think she can upstage you, or you'll be lost!&nbsp; (hee)<br /><br />I also like #9 alot.<br /><br />BTW --- How'd Friday go?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-floral-blazer-easter-and-long#post-893878 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 22:27:04 +0000 Ornella 893878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love #9, it stands out by a mile.<br /><br />I am not keen on combinations with black - somehow the outfits seem heavy, while the blazer dictates lightweight vibe.<br /><br />#1 is pretty as well. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-floral-blazer-easter-and-long#post-893871 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 22:16:38 +0000 Suz 893871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like #9 the best - you look pretty and comfortable! I also like #1, but maybe for another occasion. What a great find for you! It's nice to experiment with pieces like this, isn't it?&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-floral-blazer-easter-and-long#post-893795 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 20:28:13 +0000 lyn67 893795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <i><b></b></i>I love nr 1 and 9, those are most springy to my eyes, BTW great blazer! <i></i> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-floral-blazer-easter-and-long#post-893542 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 16:20:15 +0000 amiable 893542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Good observation Jules - I don't feel like #1 is very "me".&nbsp; It feels over-the-top to me.&nbsp; It is fun though, and were I feeling more adventurous, I'd likely try it.<br /><br />Joy - the lace top would work tucked, but I'm thinking I should find a different white top.<br /><br />The white and the navy are my favorite combos too, though I was really surprised to like the soft colors&nbsp; in #9.&nbsp; I'm currently leaning toward wearing #9 or #10.&nbsp; You've convinced me that the white jeans can work. <br /><br />Thank you!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-floral-blazer-easter-and-long#post-893536 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 16:06:59 +0000 Anonymous 893536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like 6 and 10 the best -- love you in white jeans! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-floral-blazer-easter-and-long#post-893533 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 15:55:06 +0000 Jules 893533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow you have styled this beautifully. I was fully prepared not to like it, quite the opposite! I like #1 as a classic pretty look, but I think maybe that's a little less you? How do you feel in it?&nbsp;Then I love it with the white jeans, the last two are best because the coloured shirts make the different whites of the pants and jacket work. Are your legs a mile long, I think you wear white jeans extremely well! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-floral-blazer-easter-and-long#post-893529 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 15:53:34 +0000 Nicole D 893529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great find! &nbsp;I like it with the dresses and with the white jeans. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-floral-blazer-easter-and-long#post-893522 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 15:47:53 +0000 Anonymous 893522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You found a beautiful floral blazer and it looks perfect for Easter.&nbsp; I like it best with the white jeans, but also like it with navy.&nbsp; The olive pairing is my least favorite.&nbsp; Can the lace top be tucked?&nbsp; Then the hem&nbsp;length wouldn't be an issue.&nbsp;&nbsp;In the photos the white jeans and jacket color look fine together. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-floral-blazer-easter-and-long#post-893488 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 15:02:07 +0000 amiable 893488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you Tanya and Diana!&nbsp; Diana, maybe I'll wear #1 to the Lion King tonight - I don't think the skirt would work for the amount of moving I'll be doing tomorrow.<br /><br />I'm leaning toward the white jeans - you don't think it makes the jacket look dinghy?<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-floral-blazer-easter-and-long#post-893446 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 14:21:45 +0000 Diana 893446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That is a gorgeous blazer!&nbsp; I am jealous (have been looking for a floral jacket for a while now... ).<br /><br />My favorite look is #1 by far!&nbsp; It's amazing!&nbsp; The floral is great with both the color and shape of the dress.<br /><br />I don't like it as much with the dark colors in 2 and 3.&nbsp; It's great with the olive pants - I prefer #6 because I think the blue top is better w/ the blazer than the lace top.&nbsp; The lace top and blazer hem are too close in length for me. <br /><br />I like the column of white also (#8).&nbsp; The differences in tones doesn't bother me.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-floral-blazer-easter-and-long#post-893443 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 14:19:42 +0000 Tanya 893443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like all the options with the white jeans (7-10). &nbsp;Cute blazer! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-floral-blazer-easter-and-long#post-893437 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 14:12:03 +0000 amiable 893437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I bought this floral blazer at the thrift store last weekend, thinking it would be so much fun to wear for Easter.<br /><br />But I'm having a hard time styling it.&nbsp; Googling "how to wear a floral blazer", and "floral blazer site:youlookfab.com" gave me some ideas, which I've copied in the pics below.&nbsp; Do any of these work?&nbsp; How should I wear this?<br /><br />(Considerations:&nbsp; I'll be up and down from a stage a lot, so I need to move easily.&nbsp; I'll also be sitting on the stage with my knees facing the audience, but behind a row of singers, so nearly invisible there.&nbsp; Still, it make shirt skirts pretty precarious).&nbsp; The room will be well lit, but there won't be spotlights on me.<br /><br />#1 A bright column of color (too glaring, impractical, but sure does pop)<br />#2 - #3 A column of dark (navy, in this case, and I could sub slacks for the dark jeans, but actually think the dark jeans look dressier)<br />#4 Dark bottoms, light top.&nbsp; This one is lace, and probably a bit distracting with the blazer.<br />#5 Mid-tone (olive) bottoms, light top.<br />#6 Was intended to be mid-tones, but the peacock is a bit bright - olive bottoms.<br />#7 light bottoms, dark top.&nbsp; I feel like the white bottoms are too bright for the blazer and make it look dirty.<br />#8 column of white - see how the blazer is more pearly - almost gray, next to my bleached whites?<br />&nbsp;#9 White jeans, gray sweater.&nbsp; This one almost works to me - does the gray keep the blazer from looking dirty?<br />#10 White jeans, peacock shirt.&nbsp; Or maybe separating the two whites is better?<br /><br />Other options that come to mind: An olive top under the blazer.&nbsp; Hot pink (but I don't have any - still, I'll probably visit the thrift store today, and maybe I'll find something?<br /><br />What are your suggestions?&nbsp; Feel free to tell me to ditch the blazer if I need to.&nbsp; I have plenty of other clothes and can wear something else for Easter if the blazer just doesn't cut it.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
