The colour is gorgeous.</p> <p>As for the fit when buttoned, most of my blazers do that, it's a consequence of the E-cup. If it's cut well elsewhere it usually fails gracefully. I do sometimes button my blazers, but I guess I must be weird like that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eggplant-br-blazer#post-1747892 Mon, 07 Nov 2016 10:29:50 +0000 Style Fan 1747892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous colour on you.&nbsp; It is a very versatile jacket.&nbsp; I also don't wear blazers with long sleeves underneath.&nbsp; I don't like the feeling of all those layers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eggplant-br-blazer#post-1747888 Mon, 07 Nov 2016 10:07:13 +0000 Staysfit 1747888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent choice for a blazer!

I love it with the top/skirt in 1-4.<br /> P.S.<br /> Just grabbed the grey and navy skirts. Thanks for the heads up on sale pricing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eggplant-br-blazer#post-1747837 Mon, 07 Nov 2016 03:18:22 +0000 Janet 1747837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks fantastic on you! Great color. I'm hoping to see more plum and eggplant shades this season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eggplant-br-blazer#post-1747821 Mon, 07 Nov 2016 01:34:56 +0000 Diana 1747821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS- I just noticed the uniqlo skirt is currently on sale for $10 if anyone is interested. At $20 I thought it was a great deal, now I am tempted to get other colors, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eggplant-br-blazer#post-1747820 Mon, 07 Nov 2016 01:32:58 +0000 Diana 1747820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone. I'm glad the back thing doesn't seem like a big deal. I checked and I think most of my woven blazers do this a little bit. I suspect it's because the armholes are too long, but that's not a thing I can fix (sleeves on petites are generally too short). </p> <p>Peace chick, I agree about the light jeans and will wear this with darker ones for sure. (Although they're not quite so light irl - had to overexposed photos to see the jacket better). </p> <p>Suz, good point about it easing up. </p> <p>Karie, you're prob right that it's pointless to move the button. Honestly I feel like one button blazers never look right on me closed anyway due to my short waist (which is why my boring black suit blazer is 2 button). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eggplant-br-blazer#post-1747813 Mon, 07 Nov 2016 01:07:52 +0000 Karie 1747813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The 8 is a keeper. I wouldn't bother moving the button since you'll probably never wear it buttoned. I don't see any pulling on the upper back, but if it's still there after you snip the threads on the vent you could take it to a tailor and see if they can do something about it. It probably wouldn't bother me to just leave it alone, though. I think it works with all of the tops you've tried here, but like you, I prefer to wear my blazers with shells or tee shirts underneath.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eggplant-br-blazer#post-1747809 Mon, 07 Nov 2016 00:45:12 +0000 Brooklyn 1747809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you. Fabulous with the skirt. The 8 for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eggplant-br-blazer#post-1747771 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 21:40:42 +0000 susan 1747771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's very pretty and a great color.&nbsp; :0 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eggplant-br-blazer#post-1747768 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 21:30:51 +0000 Anonymous 1747768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's perfect for you.&nbsp; Keep and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eggplant-br-blazer#post-1747764 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 21:22:05 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1747764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks good! The color is gorgeous on you, and the blazer does look nicely tailored, i.e., the look you're going for. I really like it over the black column in 1, which at first glance appeared to be a sheath dress. It's nice that this blazer looks equally good with pants or a dress/skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eggplant-br-blazer#post-1747760 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 21:17:36 +0000 Sal 1747760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The 8 is the right size. &nbsp;The colour is gorgeous. I think as long as it is comfortable for the tops you would want to wear with it 80-90 percent of the time I would go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eggplant-br-blazer#post-1747756 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 21:13:35 +0000 Suz 1747756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colour is so gorgeous on you. I'm inclined to think that if there is any stretch in the fabric at all, it will ease up a bit (especially when you snip the vent open). If it doesn't bother you, the pulling isn't a deal breaker.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eggplant-br-blazer#post-1747747 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 21:00:09 +0000 peacechick 1747747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this eggplant color on you! The 8 is a great fit, the 10 is too big for sure. I love it with your new skirt, and I also like your casual styling with floral tops, but I don't love it with the light jeans (might be just me, I don't like high contrast). The same tops with dark jeans will be thumbs up from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eggplant-br-blazer#post-1747744 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 20:37:42 +0000 CocoLion 1747744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a keeper! &nbsp;The 10 looks too big in the arms, 8 is much better and it works with all of the different tops you have on.</p> <p>Love the Uniqlo skirt on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eggplant-br-blazer#post-1747742 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 20:28:55 +0000 Diana 1747742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got this blazer in a couple of weeks ago but have been too busy to properly style it and make a decision until now.&nbsp; If you'll remember, I was initially undecided about whether to get the size 8 or size 10.&nbsp; I've decided the 10 is too big in the arms, shoulders, and bust so I'm either keeping the 8 or nothing at all.&nbsp; I don't want an oversized-looking blazer, I want a tailored-looking one.&nbsp; The 8 looks slightly tight when buttoned but like many people mentioned, nobody ever buttons their blazers, least of all me, so it's not an issue.&nbsp; ;)&nbsp; The 10 is the one in the last photo just for reference, everything else is the 8.&nbsp; </p> <p>I've styled it with a few different types of tops (note: these are not necessarily entire outfits that I'd actually wear, I was more interested in seeing how it would work with different TYPES of tops.)&nbsp; I took back photos of all of them because the fit in the upper arm and back is what I'm most interested in.&nbsp;&nbsp; It feels ever so slightly tight in the upper arm with the long sleeved layers, but not constrictingly so.&nbsp; You can see that there's some slight weird pulling at the upper back from the armpit diagonally upward.&nbsp; I believe this is exaggerated in the photos because ironically I am standing up straighter than I do IRL (hence pushing my shoulders back) and because I had to significantly bump the exposure on the photos to see any detail.&nbsp; Also, the vent at the bottom is not cut open yet, and I don't know whether that would release some of the pulling as well.&nbsp; I guess my biggest question is whether or not you think that creasing at the upper back is a dealbreaker.&nbsp; </p> <p>Photos:<br />1-4: with a black medium weight shell.&nbsp; This is probably how I'd be most likely to wear it as I generally prefer to wear blazers over sleeveless or short sleeved tops.&nbsp; </p> <p>5-8: with a thin, long-sleeved buttondown shirt.&nbsp; I didn't realize the front was crooked until I saw the pictures, so please excuse that.This felt fine except for the bunchy feeling I always get with long, loose sleeves under jackets (not a tight bunchy feeling, just an excess fabric feeling).</p> <p>9-12: with a lightweight long sleeved sweater.&nbsp; This is probably the heaviest thing I would ever wear under it.&nbsp; It felt slightly tight in the upper arm but didn't hamper mobility.&nbsp; #10 is with it buttoned just for kicks, but I do think it looks too tight that way.&nbsp; (Someone on my previous thread suggested moving the button slightly, which I may try if I decide to keep it.)&nbsp; </p> <p>13: size 10 for reference.&nbsp; </p> <p>By the way, the skirt in the first set is also new, I added the find below.<br /> Uniqlo calls it a "sweat skirt" but it actually surprisingly turned out<br /> to be more like a pencilly tube skirt. (I was actually looking for a<br /> more casual one as a replacement for an old skirt, but it was cheap and<br /> will be useful.) </p>
