I like it on you a lot. </p> <p>I remember many years ago working in a clothing store and finding a jacket that looked very Ferengi...and not in a good way. Still, I wish I had bought it, just for costuming purposes. Well, to lend to someone else for *their* costuming purposes most likely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts/page/2#post-958893 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 10:23:42 +0000 goldenpig 958893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Squee! I bow down to you, O great Klingon princess! You are killing me with your dollar UWP fab finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts/page/2#post-958880 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:51:56 +0000 lyn* 958880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that blazer/jacket. Seriously. If anyone can pull off being a Klingon Kick Ass Warrior Girl, it's you. It looks so awesome with your short hair :)</p> <p>Just as long as you don't wear it with a metal corset. Not work appropriate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts/page/2#post-958818 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 04:07:40 +0000 rae 958818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, Klingons <i>only</i> have warrior princesses. lol Pretty sure they only have warrior everythings.&nbsp;</p> <p>For those who asked where I shop, I actually almost NEVER go to Goodwill anymore. I find them far overpriced. I go to little flea markets that set up at local colleges and revamped drive-in theaters. Those who have come to Shoptoberfest have witnessed the madness: card tables piled high with all sorts of random items... I sift through one by one!</p> <p>Ok, so here is the plan: I am keeping it around to try it out and puzzle through whether it is simply "out of my comfort zone" or "not me." I'll try to play up the kimono aspect somehow and see how it goes. I do like it with the neutrals to try to keep the color scheme classic, even if the jacket isn't.</p> <p>And if it doesn't work for me, I know where to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts/page/2#post-958769 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 02:47:35 +0000 Sveta 958769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally worth keeping! If you tend towards classic items lately this jacket is a perfect thing to keep them fro looking too predictable- kind of RWP (Refined Warrior Princess).<br />BTW do Klingons have warrior princesses? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts/page/2#post-958753 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 02:30:58 +0000 Sona 958753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So Angie has spoken. Keeper? Styling options? Capsules it will fit into? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts/page/2#post-958704 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 01:45:30 +0000 Anonymous 958704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm echoing Mary's AREYOUKIDDINGMERIGHTNOW? I'm no Trekkie, so all I see is an Japanese kimono&nbsp;influence. You look very long and lean&nbsp;(not square) with the midi skirt, with all kinds of good waist definition. You don't look line-backerish at all. I'm about as classic as they get, but seeing an S/A in this wouldn't scare me AT ALL. I really love it&nbsp;<i>on you.&nbsp;</i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts/page/2#post-958661 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 01:10:49 +0000 Nicole D 958661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! &nbsp;I can't believe Joy posted in Klingon. &nbsp;WHat a crazy forum!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts/page/2#post-958658 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 01:09:08 +0000 Janet 958658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and I also wish we had such a magical Goodwill. The ones around here have no such gems. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts/page/2#post-958503 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:39:09 +0000 Caro in Oz 958503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Janet I think the shoulders look&nbsp;architectural&nbsp;rather than big/bulky - YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts/page/2#post-958502 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:38:55 +0000 Adelfa 958502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks fabulous on you. I say keep it till your hair grows (if in fact you are still growing it out). I say this because the only time I ever felt uncomfortable with my strong shoulders was when I cut my hair super short. So it's just an idea for easing into the piece! But it looks amazing already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts/page/2#post-958480 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:24:19 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 958480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I freakin' LOVE it, and I am so jealous, I swear my eyes are green right now!&nbsp; Awesome cool sci-fi jacket that NOBODY else has??!!&nbsp; &nbsp; And you look so awesome in it!!&nbsp; Total jealousy!!</p> <p>Seriously, where is this magical Goodwill or thrift shop located?&nbsp; They run a brisk trade in 'unicorn' pieces...&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts/page/2#post-958467 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:07:51 +0000 jurocha 958467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Edgy! Plus the way you style it makes it even better! You should totally own this jacket and use it everyday. </p> <p>(Plus I side with Janet: you say Klingon like it's a bad thing. Tsk, tsk, tsk: shame on you. Hehehe!)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts/page/2#post-958463 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:03:42 +0000 Angie 958463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to weigh in late, Rae. I have a few deadlines and my time on the forum has been sparse over the last few days. I have not read the comments, but FWIW:</p> <p><b>KILLER Jacket!!!</b></p> <p>Such '80s rocking sassy fabness! I <b><i><u>love</u></i></b> the strong shoulders. You knew I would love it on you xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts/page/2#post-958459 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 21:57:47 +0000 Marley 958459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hang on to it for awhile Rae - and see if it works for you and also how you feel in it.&nbsp; It's a really cool jacket - but I know what you mean about wearing more classic pieces these days.&nbsp; I'm doing the same thing - and have several items in my closet that are unique, quirky, fun - that I'm just not "feeling" right now!&nbsp; So, no need to make an immediate decision, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts/page/2#post-958371 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 20:09:45 +0000 Anonymous 958371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way you have styled this and it's uniqueness. Hang on to it for awhile to see how you feel in it. Since it's wool, that may be this winter. It depends on where your style is going. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts#post-958368 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 20:07:57 +0000 shedev 958368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts#post-958362 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 19:40:05 +0000 catgirl 958362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it, and it's exactly the kind of quirky unique&nbsp;item I would pick up at a thrift store and hoard in my closet, longing for a reason to wear it. &nbsp;On the cautionary side, I just purged several such items, including a very Mad-Max-like skirt that had slashed hems and&nbsp;D-rings and pockets galore, because they were SUCH fantasy items - I never did wear them, but held on to them for years just because I loved to collect them and couldn't bear to part with them once I owned them. &nbsp;Now I know better than to take them home. :)&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>You have a way of bringing these items down to reality and using them; if you can see yourself doing it with this jacket, then KEEP. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts#post-958361 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 19:32:56 +0000 ironkurtin 958361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it.&nbsp; And I love it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts#post-958359 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 19:28:10 +0000 Debra 958359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great jacket, it looks fantastic on you. All you need now is Eric Banner now and your set to take over the world </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts#post-958341 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 18:53:40 +0000 rae 958341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm I was hoping the boots might balance the wideness a little.</p> <p>Angie, you have known my style a long time now... Do you have an opinion? Would this become an orphan? If it is not for me, it seems it coukd easily find a new YLF home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts#post-958333 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 18:43:59 +0000 unfrumped 958333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I&nbsp; think the styling is important. With the boots it reads more costume-y to me. I might have to follow a formula and try it with more refined ladylike footwear and jewelry--even a more flippy skirt--also maybe colors--to play against type and less bride of Lt. Worf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts#post-958303 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 18:17:17 +0000 rachylou 958303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, that last picture for comparison just cracked me up. And yes, I can see the resemblance. But the jacket is all kinds of fabulous and does really look good on you. </p> <p>You say you got this for a single dollar?!!! Can you tell me exactly where you shop? My Goodwill doesn't have anything under $10 I swear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts#post-958288 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 18:05:37 +0000 Thistle 958288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and how awesome, just totally awesome is it to have a Klingon War Blazer in your arsenal?!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts#post-958287 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 18:05:07 +0000 Thistle 958287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is more UWP than a Klingon?!?&nbsp; This is a terrific piece that I love the way you have styled&nbsp;it.&nbsp;&nbsp;It adds that dose of UWP you wanted to add to your work outfits. And no banker would ever wear it&nbsp; :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts#post-958284 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 18:03:58 +0000 Mander 958284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only wish I were cool enough to wear this because it looks RAD. :)</p> <p>I rather like the way you have styled it here, and I don't see anything un-feminine about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts#post-958277 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 18:01:03 +0000 Sona 958277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it is super cool but belonging to the IT/apple mix which of course is not your body type I feel <u>strongly about strong shoulders</u>. You have gotten a lot of love for it and I suspect Angie will find it killer too HOWEVER the utmost question: would you wear it? how does it make you feel? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts#post-958274 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 17:59:36 +0000 bj1111 958274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excuse me… I'm busy trying to Buy the shirt, Whoops, jacket off her back.</p> <p>Rae here's your Target audience For your business idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts#post-958264 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 17:50:07 +0000 Glory 958264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HI ja (which is of course Klingon for YES). Amazingly enough there are websites devoted to the Klingon language.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/klingon-war-blazer-thoughts#post-958233 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 17:29:33 +0000 Transcona Shannon 958233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am totally the wrong person to ask 'cause I love a strong shoulder. I think this jacket is AMAZING and looks fantastic on you. And like Suz, I see a wee bit of kimono influence in the jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>Just because you are reaching for more classic shapes and lines these days doesn't mean you closet can't have room for a few edgier and interesting pieces, does it?</p> <p>Bottom line though Rae is you need to love it. </p>
