I don't mind the elbow patches, they are fun. And also often hidden from view anyway. I think the elbows on an item are one of the least seen portions of a piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-elbow-patch-blazer#post-468960 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 12:52:19 +0000 Jonesy 468960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! It looks like it fits you beautifully! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-elbow-patch-blazer#post-468868 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 04:05:25 +0000 kellygirl 468868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Rae, Claire, Aida and Suz!<br /> @Kate: hehe--you make a great point. I will never have to see them : )<br /> @Sarah: Just goes to show that one should never settle : ) I thought I’d never find anything as nearly perfect as the Gap blazer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-elbow-patch-blazer#post-468809 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 02:46:29 +0000 sarah 468809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Kelly, after all that angst with the Gap blue blazer, you've found one that fits you really well and looks great! If the elbow patches are stitched on, I suppose that you could always remove them if you wanted to. Good work! You look FAB! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-elbow-patch-blazer#post-468761 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 01:45:55 +0000 Suz 468761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great to me! I really like the colour on you and it's very versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-elbow-patch-blazer#post-468751 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 01:28:25 +0000 Aida 468751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a great jacket, fab color on you! I don't think it's AS casual as the olive jacket, but you can certainly work it into casual outfits. I think the elbow patches are cute </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-elbow-patch-blazer#post-468728 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 00:46:49 +0000 Anonymous 468728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, you can do no wrong. This is stunning in 1/2 and I'm sorry for the painful whatever with the red jeans. The elbow pads are classic, and if you ever get tired of them, you may be able to just remove them. The jacket's fit is just incredible! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-elbow-patch-blazer#post-468718 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 00:36:00 +0000 mamaKate 468718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely keep, you can always remove the elbow patches if they become an eyesore for you but the good thing is that you never have to see them yourself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-elbow-patch-blazer#post-468697 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 00:08:41 +0000 rae 468697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote to keep! It hangs very nicely on you, and the color is wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-elbow-patch-blazer#post-468645 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 23:13:56 +0000 catgirl 468645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I must have missed that! Then this one is a perfect substitute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-elbow-patch-blazer#post-468637 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 23:01:25 +0000 kellygirl 468637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Everyone!<br /> @Cilleena, Astrid and Brenda: I was thinking the elbow patches made it more trendy and less conservative : ) Glad it gets a thumbs up!<br /> @Una: I didn't keep the Gap blazer--it got voted down. I got the black Halogen one instead and even though it is knit and casual, the color makes it seem more conservative. I've been on the lookout for navy and this one seemed to fit the bill--just wasn't sure about those patches.<br /> @Amyeh: I loved your tweed jacket--the patches seem to go more with that to my eye.<br /> @Makrame: I'm totally blazer impaired--thank you for thinking I have a knack for it : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-elbow-patch-blazer#post-468618 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:30:19 +0000 Janet 468618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! I love it on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-elbow-patch-blazer#post-468600 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:02:01 +0000 catgirl 468600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it. It looks similar to our blue Gap blazer - do you wear that often? Love the elbow patches! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-elbow-patch-blazer#post-468550 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:25:02 +0000 Queen Mum 468550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this jacket looks great Kelly! a definite keeper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-elbow-patch-blazer#post-468545 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:19:58 +0000 Makrame 468545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You seem to have a talent for finding the best jackets/blazers (or maybe they just look great on you). I noticed a lot of elbow patch jackets while I was traveling - they really seem to be going mainstream.</p> <p>I know what you mean, though, I am considering elbow-patch jackets but feel a bit self-conscious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-elbow-patch-blazer#post-468537 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:07:32 +0000 Astrid 468537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like a great fit and I like the navy. The elbow patches are fun! I think it would work well with your other things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-elbow-patch-blazer#post-468534 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:03:09 +0000 qfbrenda 468534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it on you! And I see it as relatively casual. It's not a dressy blazer, so I think it would fit into your wardrobe pretty well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-elbow-patch-blazer#post-468531 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 20:59:39 +0000 amyreh 468531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is cute! I just got one with elbow patches too. I really like this navy on you. It seems not as casual as the green one though, so not sure if a replacement, but maybe if it works how you need it to. I am hoping the painful post doesn't mean these red jeans are going back - they are so cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-elbow-patch-blazer#post-468529 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 20:57:43 +0000 Cilleena 468529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oooh! I like it, Kelly! It looks amazing on you! Very polished and the elbow patches add a fun, trendiness to it. I vote keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-elbow-patch-blazer#post-468497 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 20:14:01 +0000 kellygirl 468497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Picked this up at H&amp;M on a whim. I really like the cut--just not sure about those elbow patches. I tend to wear more casual styles and have worn my olive jacket to death. Do you think this is a good alternative? The red denim is the subject of another, rather painful, post. </p>
