Would you tell me what make and model they are? I'm always on the lookout for that heel height and am currently kicking myself for not picking up the snakeskin Pettys that everyone here seems to have. (Too expensive to have shipped to Canada to try on and now not available in my size anywhere anyway...boo.)</p> <p>Thumbs up from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845908 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 17:27:17 +0000 Asingh 845908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jackets but the sleeves seem a bit odd. But then again, I'm always a little finicky about the length and fitting of sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845906 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 17:25:34 +0000 Asingh 845906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jackets but the sleeves seem a bit odd.

Wear it about with jeans and see if it grows on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845831 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 16:35:31 +0000 Carole 845831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I like it! The fit looks fine from here, but if you feel less than fab in it you probably aren't going to wear it enough to warrant a spot in your wardrobe. Just my 2 cents. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845821 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 16:15:33 +0000 Tina.b 845821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! To my eye, the length is just right with the jeans. This is where I like my blazers to hit. Great floral pattern and the black and white is totally modern. Definitely keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845811 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 16:01:32 +0000 ironkurtin 845811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it looks too short or that the shoulders are too big. I like it with jeans, too, personally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845809 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 16:00:54 +0000 Beth Ann 845809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great argument for buying second-hand -- you feel free to play with it -- a bit of fashion exploration with few $$ on the line.</p> <p>Love the jacket, and am interested in seeing how you make it your own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845794 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 15:46:45 +0000 Jaime 845794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie - of course I was hoping that you would weigh in! I do appreciate everyone's honest opinions - indeed I am flip-flopping between the too twee, conservative, etc. viewpoint and thinking it makes a fun juxtaposition with some of my more casual clothes. I did try it on over one of my favorite skirts and did not love it - I think that I would more likely wear it with jeans or trousers. I need to try some more combinations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845759 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 15:12:41 +0000 Angie 845759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! It's crisp and polished, which is a great addition to your Thrown Together Tomboy Style - which may I remind you is also "Elegant". I love the way you styled it too. Amazing worn over white!</p> <p>I like it over the jeans </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845700 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:19:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 845700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I love it, but Angie has appointed me Princess Floral! I would wear it in a heartbeat. But having said that, is it your style Shevia?</p> <p>I actually like it paired with the more casual jeans due to the great juxtaposition it creates. How else do you see yourself wearing it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845647 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 13:09:40 +0000 Claudia 845647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too twee for your style. I vote return on this one, you can do better on a floral jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845644 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 12:58:39 +0000 Mona 845644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a beautiful piece, Shevia. i like the colour and pattern. It is a little bit on the shorter side but I think it can work with the right top. Also, Angie's post today is all about how you can pair BF's with dressier jackets. May be you can show us ths jacket with you BF's? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845613 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 11:01:26 +0000 Jjsloane 845613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From what I can see I like the small pattern and the color scheme. Scrunch the sleeves and wear a longer top if wearing with pants. Only you can decide if you feel comfortable with the fit and your style from there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845575 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 06:18:25 +0000 rae 845575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! But I agree with Sveta that it would be better over a skirt or dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845555 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 05:00:20 +0000 Suz 845555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am still holding out some hope for it. It's such a pretty jacket!! </p> <p>Ohh- I just thought - it reminds me a bit in feeling of my BR peplum cloud jacket...also a very ladylike piece. I will have to show you some time in the spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845538 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 04:15:13 +0000 Jaime 845538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, you have all touched on some of my conflicting thoughts. I do like the floral in these colors - and like these colors in general. But...I also get visions of my grandmother! I would probably wear it with trousers and skirts or dresses for occasions, but would it really get out often enough to justify keeping it? I think I would want to wear it with my white jeans to be, but right now I only have boyfriend white jeans. Interestingly the shortness doesn't bother me as much as the shoulders, which seem a bit wide to me. Thanks for helping me work this out!</p> <p>ETA Yes, Suz you have pretty much nailed my concerns. Not sure it is my style and not sure about the fit. Will try some of your ideas and see how that goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845537 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 04:10:59 +0000 Suz 845537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colours on you. Gorgeous. I also love the sleeves. But it is a bit ladylike for your usual style, no? And I agree with Sveta that it is a touch on the short side...appears as if the waist detail is a bit higher than your actual waist, even if that is not true. But it might not look that way with a dress. And of course the cropped length would be super with a dress or skirt. BUT...the problem then would be that it might end up feeling too pretty or prim or conservative for you. </p> <p>How about trying it styled with plain black pants and/or a dress and seeing how it feels? Or white pants, maybe. Or your fab slouchy trousers? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845533 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 04:05:10 +0000 CocoLion 845533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How/where would you wear it? This looks good for work or dressier occasions, but it is too conservative for casual / jeans IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845525 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 03:54:35 +0000 Raisin 845525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great! The fit, the waist nipping and the 3/4 lenght sleeves are all fab. I like that the floral is B&amp;W too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845516 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 03:44:04 +0000 Caro in Oz 845516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you, it looks fresh &amp; spring-like - but you have to love wearing it. </p> <p>I have a couple of jackets which I love that feel a little short with jeans. I wear them with a top that is slightly longer than the jacket (this may or may not work for your style). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845478 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 02:54:32 +0000 Thistle 845478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't normally like florals. Reminds me of my Grandmother's wardrobe (love Grammy, but she dresses her age KWIM). Anyway,I love the floral n this jacket. Love the feminine tailored vibe.</p> <p>It is short, however, and I think would work best with skirts and dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845477 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 02:53:05 +0000 Deborah 845477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this! The fit looks good to me and I like the length and the slight nip at the waist. I also LOVE 3/4 sleeves:) And I find the silver/white/black colour scheme very flattering on you. I think this jacket is going to look best similar to how you are wearing it now. Jeans, simple top. In order to keep the jacket from looking to 'proper' I think more casual stylings are going to work best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845476 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 02:50:43 +0000 Ginkgo 845476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good to me! When you said floral, I thought "oh, no" but the restrained color scheme and pattern works beautifully. I like it just as you're wearing it and with the red shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845475 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 02:49:20 +0000 Sveta 845475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the shoulder fit is good but it is a bit short to wear with jeans and trousers IMO. This is my eternal problem - jackets too short - so I may be too sensitive here.<br /> As for the floral pattern it all depends on what you like. I have hard time with florals in general, there are very few floral patterns I really like so I cannot really comment on this objectively </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-floral-jacket#post-845468 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 02:46:06 +0000 Jaime 845468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure what I was thinking when I picked this up at a consignment shop. Well I do sort of know: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/01/24/floral-jackets-yay-or-nay/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2013/01/.....ay-or-nay/</a>. But a floral jacket was not on my list! This one caught my eye because of the white/black/silver color scheme, the cut and the fun lining that you can't see. Not sure if it fits right in the shoulders and not sure it is my style. Please be honest, I do not need to keep this! </p> <p>(I just threw it one over what I was wearing minus the sweater, and then ran up again to take a picture with the jacket closed and threw on other shoes, so this is the ultimate in thrown together, styling suggestions appreciated.) </p>
