I like knit jackets, they give a polished look but are also quite comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-sweacket-edition#post-448896 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 05:25:30 +0000 Scarlet 448896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for 1 and 7. Gorgeous blue! I think that sweacket 1 has the best shape. The color is versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-sweacket-edition#post-448807 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 01:50:01 +0000 Angie 448807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and #7 are fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-sweacket-edition#post-448782 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 00:33:15 +0000 modgrl 448782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like 7 and 8 better than the swackets. I'm not too excited about 3 and 5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-sweacket-edition#post-448730 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 23:10:19 +0000 Makrame 448730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, it looks like there is a universal agreement (and it matches what I though initially). #1-2 seems to be a more "sophisticated" color and the fit is better, so it stays. #3-4 and 5-6 are going back (that Amber Sun jacket looks droopy, that is exactly the word I was searching for - thanks, missvee!). I do love the color of the cardi in #7, and it seems to be of good quality, so it stays, too. </p> <p>I'll try to post the orange Amber Sun jacket when it arrives - maybe it will look better. The reviews on Nordstrom website were quite positive so I was surprised by the "droopiness". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-sweacket-edition#post-448660 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 20:49:05 +0000 Anonymous 448660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 1/2 and #7. Numer 7 has a different (but not wrong) shape and I LOVE the color. Please keep. Can you post the other one when it arrives? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-sweacket-edition#post-448573 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 18:07:27 +0000 rachylou 448573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say the green jacket (3 &amp; 4) is out. I'm wondering how 7 &amp; 8 look buttoned up. 7 is very crisp. 1 &amp; 2 is good - I'll note that it's neat but not crisp like 7. #5 &amp; 6 is good too, but of the rumpled-academic RATE style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-sweacket-edition#post-448571 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 17:58:45 +0000 kellygirl 448571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #1/2--particularly unbuttoned. I'm not crazy about the green version for some reason. Love the cardigan and love #8! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-sweacket-edition#post-448567 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 17:52:38 +0000 Isis 448567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For what it is worth, this is what I think:</p> <p>The blue sweater is a "10".</p> <p>The amber sun looks casual and wrinkley--probably will be too casual in the orange too. Not a keeper.</p> <p>The "twist" jacket is the nicer of the two. (already been washed, so it's staying?). I'd call it a "9", and worth keeping, it's just not as great as the jacket in picture "8". I like the color of the green jacket, but it looks big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-sweacket-edition#post-448560 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 17:41:38 +0000 HelenInCanada 448560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the grey Halogen - #1 - and I agree you should keep it, but am not crazy about the moss green "sweacket" (hee). The fit is a bit too snug, proportion wise. The Amber Sun might look even better in the burnt orange - just a bit of a lift from the darker styles you already have. All in all, these are really practical pieces, from one (former) teacher to another. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-sweacket-edition#post-448529 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 16:58:03 +0000 missvee 448529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Ironkurtin on this. I like #1, and #7. The colour in #3/4 doesn't seem to flatter you, and in #5/6 it seems like the fabric is a bit droopy. I think you can do better... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-sweacket-edition#post-448519 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 16:19:34 +0000 ironkurtin 448519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Between the first and the second, I like the first. The Amber Sun one I am on the fence. The blue one is great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-sweacket-edition#post-448517 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 16:14:04 +0000 Makrame 448517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got a couple of new sweater-jackets ("sweackets") and am trying to decide whether to keep them. My plan is to get a few new toppers (blazers or cardis) for this winter, mostly to wear on teaching days. I have to teach 3 days a weak in the winter (the same group of students) so it's nice to have at least 6 different items in order to have a 2-week cycle. Our winters are cold so most of the time I wear at least 2 layers (shirt+vest, top+cardi etc.), and I also need the toppers to be non-bulky so they fit well under coats or puffers. </p> <p>Up until recently, I had no jackets or blazers that fit well but now I have one that seems to get great reviews here and is non-bulky (this picture #8); I think this is going to be one of my toppers for this winter. Ideally it would be nice to find another blazer that is just as perfect but I don't have one so far. </p> <p>If these items are not a 10, I would be more than happy to return them and wait until I find a perfect jacket instead. I am not sure the Halogen sweacket is the most figure-flattering on me (it seems to emphasize my lack of waist), and the Amber Sun jacket is a bit casual.<br /> 1-2 - Halogen sweater-jacket in "twist"<br /> 3-4 - same sweater in "moss green" (I would like to pick one color to keep, if any). This is the same size as 1-2 but it had not been washed so it seems to look a tad too big.<br /> 5-6 - Amber Sun military jacket from Nordstrom in olive. I also ordered it in a sort of burnt orange color but that item seems to be taking a circuitous route and won't be delivered for a couple of days.<br /> 7 - another cardi from Nordstrom I am trying to make decision on. I think I will keep this one, although I am open to any comments.<br /> 8 - the jacket as a point of reference. </p>
