The jacket pictures below is a knit from Great Plains.</p> <p>(I would like the matching shifting dress) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-classify-this-tweed-blazer#post-695175 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 07:27:50 +0000 harmonica 695175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous jacket! nothing new to add, but the ideas from elle are great!</p> <p>It actually reminds me a bit of Isabel Marant tweed jacket: <a href="http://www.clothes-fashion.com/2010/11/etoile-isabel-marant-boucle-tweed-wool-blend-jacket.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.clothes-fashion.com.....acket.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-classify-this-tweed-blazer#post-695082 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 03:43:41 +0000 nancylee 695082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great advice so far, ladies! </p> <p>Devon, thanks for the links. Let me know how the jacket fits if you try it. :)</p> <p>Suz, good idea to try it with my midis. I was definitely thinking with jeans...</p> <p>Claire, I would LOVE to find one with flecks of burgundy. And thanks for the warning to wear it broken up (to avoid looking like the Church Lady from SNL!). Bootcut jeans, you say? Hmmmm. I like! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-classify-this-tweed-blazer#post-695066 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 03:24:20 +0000 Anonymous 695066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back now! There is a very helpful article at the bottom of the second link that warns us femmes d'un certain age to be careful how we wear this or it will add ten years. Mostly we need to wear it as a separate, not as part of a skirted suit with pumps. Point taken!</p> <p>I wonder how it would mix with your boho styled clothing? It would be great with your bootcuts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-classify-this-tweed-blazer#post-695062 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 03:16:50 +0000 Anonymous 695062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is gorgeous. I'd wear it in a heartbeat. Would you go for black and grey tones or are you looking for something in the taupe/tan category? Something with flecks of burgundy/berry would look amazing on you. I'm off to look at Devon's links. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-classify-this-tweed-blazer#post-695056 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 03:10:50 +0000 devon7 695056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice blazer!

I think I will go and try on that blazer. I am tough to fit with my "gorilla arms," but sometimes it works... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-classify-this-tweed-blazer#post-695051 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 03:05:16 +0000 Suz 695051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd describe it just as you have done - as an updated Chanel. I'd wear it with everything from a pencil skirt or LBD (or your VC midi) to jeans. Mostly jeans, in my case. I'd wear it with white or almost any colour underneath (as the top). I'd wear it with booties, shoes, or boots. And I'd feel very Parisienne chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-would-you-classify-this-tweed-blazer#post-695040 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 02:45:51 +0000 nancylee 695040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been seeing a lot of these "casual elegant" Chanel-type blazers lately and am considering adding one to my wardrobe. It would be a bit of a departure for me, but I'm thinking it could be edgy/arty if worn in the right way?</p> <p>I'm just starting to look, so any links to other jackets and/or photos of how to style a jacket like this are welcome. </p> <p>Thanks! :)</p> <p><a href="http://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/browse/product.jsp?maxRec=178&#038;pageId=1&#038;productId=570053370&#038;viewAll=true&#038;prd=Tweed+Trophy+Jacket&#038;subCatId=&#038;color=&#038;fromSearch=&#038;inSeam=&#038;posId=1&#038;catId=cat210006&#038;cat=New+Arrivals&#038;onSale=&#038;colorFamily=&#038;maxPg=1&#038;size=" rel="nofollow">http://www.whitehouseblackmark.....#038;size=</a> </p>
