You can do better. As a side note, This is the color of your coat, you don't want to OD on the same color head to toe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-burgundy-blazer#post-831645 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 01:35:09 +0000 abc 831645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others, Thistle. It is a great color on you (and nice to see you branching out with more color!) but the fit seems off. It is not giving that normal "nipped in at the waist" look of a blazer. I vote keep looking, you deserve better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-burgundy-blazer#post-831623 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 01:07:50 +0000 lyn* 831623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this colour on you, but I can't ever figure out what to do with those collars either! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-burgundy-blazer#post-831621 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 01:04:46 +0000 catgirl 831621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, I'm not sure this is THE blazer. Color is great, but there should be NO issues, and you've listed things that are problematic now - so how much more annoying later? The collar seems to be a struggle, for one thing. Saying that as one who has learned the hard way!</p> <p>Soldier on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-burgundy-blazer#post-831602 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:54:22 +0000 Lyn D. 831602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others.<br /> I think a jacket you can button to show your waist, and structure at the shoulders would be a winner in this colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-burgundy-blazer#post-831596 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:48:34 +0000 Transcona Shannon 831596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colour Thistle but I'm not really loving this particular jacket on you. It doesn't show off your lovely shape enough IMO when open. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-burgundy-blazer#post-831570 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:26:52 +0000 Anonymous 831570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find stand-up collars to be annoying, as well. That rules out scuba jackets and all kinds of cool-looking toppers, but alas .... they drive me nuts.</p> <p>Hey, the jacket may not be a keeper, but you learned a vital piece of information about your collar preferences! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-burgundy-blazer#post-831561 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:20:59 +0000 Thistle 831561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that you say it, I think you are right. Not enough structure through the shoulders. I miss the days of 80s shoulder pads!</p> <p>Also, the stand up collar is a bit annoying. I had no idea what to do with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-burgundy-blazer#post-831555 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:18:27 +0000 Anonymous 831555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. Good color, but not sure I'm loving it. I feel as though you would look good in jackets that have more "something" in the shoulder: stronger, more defined, lightly padded. </p> <p>Something about pairing the burgundy jacket with the burgundy skirt veers into "uniform" territory for me, too.</p> <p>How's that for not-very-helpful?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-burgundy-blazer#post-831550 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:17:01 +0000 Beth Ann 831550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle -- I love the color, but am having trouble getting a good view of the fit, since I can't see the shoulder line well. Where does the shoulder seam sit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-burgundy-blazer#post-831503 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 23:39:59 +0000 Thistle 831503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thoughts on the blazer? I love the color. I feel like it is flattering and I have a lot it would go with. I am really unsure on the fit. I have tried to style it how I would potentially wear it.</p> <p>It pulls when closed, so I would have to wear it open. I tried this style that buttons below the girls, and the hips are still too much of an interference. Ah well. </p> <p>Jackets are still a huge closet hole for me, but I want to be picky with them. </p>
