You look great in a cropped moto so is it the shrunken length?<br /> I wonder too, if double breasted might be too much for your slender frame.<br /> The striped ponte is a sweetie. Please do some posts with it.<br /> A belated Happy Birthday - I was away last week and missed the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-a-navy-double-breasted-blazer-with-gold-buttons-what-about-a-j-crew-maritime-stripe#post-957855 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 07:45:49 +0000 Deborah 957855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not keen on the sound of the gold buttons for you...to classic and not enough edge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-a-navy-double-breasted-blazer-with-gold-buttons-what-about-a-j-crew-maritime-stripe#post-957853 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 07:36:56 +0000 ElleH 957853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise I think I'm influenced by EA &amp; Angie &amp; pinterest. Blazers in general make me feel more grown up &amp; better dressed. Im just not sure about gold buttoned double breasted. I do love military style though, a lot, but it could look too preppy or nautical. I want to avoid that but it is in the styling I guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-a-navy-double-breasted-blazer-with-gold-buttons-what-about-a-j-crew-maritime-stripe#post-957850 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 07:19:32 +0000 CocoLion 957850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a light weight wool navy double breasted blazer with gold buttons from BCBG. &nbsp;It's one of my pre-YLF things I still own but haven't used it in a while as I stepped away from blazers and jackets in 2012-13. &nbsp;I did wear it more in 2011. &nbsp;I was just looking at it the other day and wondering if I should purge it. &nbsp;I decided to delay the decision for a while longer. &nbsp;(Can you tell I am an expert procrastinator?)</p> <p>The question I have for you is, there must be something attracting you about this so it's worth examining. &nbsp;Maybe this represents an aspect of your style persona that you've yet to uncover. &nbsp; What is it that you like about this style? &nbsp;What does it represent, what feelings does it bring to you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-a-navy-double-breasted-blazer-with-gold-buttons-what-about-a-j-crew-maritime-stripe#post-957825 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 04:39:19 +0000 ElleH 957825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Joy I may be changing a bit. I do like Emmanuel Alt style &amp; she is pictured in a navy blazer with gold buttons. It is a classic style but maybe too much for my style. I'm not sure though. Of course she always looks great because her blazers &amp; jackets are Balmain. It definitely isn't boho. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-a-navy-double-breasted-blazer-with-gold-buttons-what-about-a-j-crew-maritime-stripe#post-957809 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 04:00:37 +0000 Anonymous 957809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, I'm not sure blazers fit any of your fashion personas but do work with Emmanual Alt as a fashion icon. Maybe you are in the process of changing your look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-a-navy-double-breasted-blazer-with-gold-buttons-what-about-a-j-crew-maritime-stripe#post-957791 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 03:23:47 +0000 ElleH 957791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a chance to buy one on sale. I like blazers but I have a few black, and a white one. This one is shrunken, hits just above jeans at high hip.</p> <p>I also bought a black &amp; tan maritime ponte from J Crew. Not sure if that is me or how to wear it. <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/knitstees/jacketscardiagns/PRDOVR~84593/99102956150/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~~0~15~all~mode+matchallany~~~~~Maritime%20blazer/84593.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_ca...../84593.jsp</a> </p>
