Glad you're keeping - it reminds me of your Nic &amp; Zoe blazer that is getting such fab use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexchange-tinley-road-blazer#post-651982 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 15:20:28 +0000 Meredith1953 651982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great color! I think the puffed sleeves look nice. Scrunched the sleeves work really well. I also like the color with that lovely dress you are wearing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexchange-tinley-road-blazer#post-651980 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 15:17:57 +0000 Kristin L 651980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great. You can keep scrunching the sleeves or take them up a little bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexchange-tinley-road-blazer#post-651978 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 15:16:16 +0000 Kirti 651978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! It looks awesome </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexchange-tinley-road-blazer#post-651728 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 03:33:24 +0000 goldenpig 651728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty on you! Love the look buttoned up. I get a lot of use out of my blue jacket so I think you will too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexchange-tinley-road-blazer#post-651720 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 03:25:08 +0000 Alecia 651720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh please keep. That is one great jacket. I'm envious. I would really like to add a smart, bright jacket to my summer work capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexchange-tinley-road-blazer#post-651716 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 03:20:18 +0000 Diana 651716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies. I think I am going to keep this one, as I think Angie is right and the smaller size would likely be too small in the shoulders. It's a little more of a boyfriend blazer vibe than I was initially hoping for but I really like it. The fabric is more substantial (and it is lined) than my turquoise blazer so I think it will also work for colder weather.</p> <p>Ceit, I think the bunching at the waist is actually caused by the dress underneath, which is kind of sack-like and too big (it's just my at-home loungewear, don't worry, I didn't leave the house in it!).</p> <p>PS - Just realized that this resembles my Laundry cobalt wool coat, which is the same color and has the same type of shoulder treatment. It's not a bad thing, since a blazer and a heavy wool coat do not serve the same purpose at all, but funny that I always choose the same styles/colors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexchange-tinley-road-blazer#post-651658 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 01:56:03 +0000 Jaime 651658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous color on you. I like the fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexchange-tinley-road-blazer#post-651587 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 01:11:16 +0000 Angie 651587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! And I love the '80s vibe. That shoulder line is great on you. </p> <p>The smaller size would have been too small, Diana. I'm glad that you are going with this one. Scrunch those sleeves </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexchange-tinley-road-blazer#post-651574 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 00:51:02 +0000 Anonymous 651574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would try the smaller size -- to me the back view looks too big on you, like it is slumping on the shoulder and bagging at the waist. Otherwise the colour looks wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexchange-tinley-road-blazer#post-651566 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 00:40:00 +0000 Kiwichik 651566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colour but I think even buttoned the fit Doesn't look quite right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexchange-tinley-road-blazer#post-651507 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 23:13:50 +0000 Diana 651507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I also think it looks a bit big when unbuttoned but I suspect if I wore it unbuttoned over pants it would be more of a boyfriend blazer vibe, which is good too. But I will wait for Angie's judgment!</p> <p>Rae, yes, it has a puffed shoulder. There is a bit of shoulder pad too which is good for me. (If you recall, I had to add shoulder pads to my turquoise blazer to make it fit right). I know it is not everyone's cup of tea, but I love puffed sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexchange-tinley-road-blazer#post-651488 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 22:53:53 +0000 rae 651488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it supposed to have a bit of an 80s shoulder? In pic 3 it looks like the jacket goes past your shoulder some so that the sleeve then collapses in a little. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexchange-tinley-road-blazer#post-651486 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 22:48:40 +0000 Transcona Shannon 651486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous colour! Yes, sleeves are too long but that's an easy thing to deal with. Otherwise, I think the size looks pretty good - shoulder seams appear to be in the right spot. It's interesting how it looks like it fits well when it's done up, but looks a little large when you have it unbuttoned. I think you need Angie's eye on this one to be sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexchange-tinley-road-blazer#post-651480 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 22:44:35 +0000 Tanya 651480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color is so pretty on you! The sleeves are too long, but I like the fit otherwise. So I vote keep! Mine is XS - my usual size, and the sleeves are a tad tighter than I would prefer, but the body fit perfect, and I knew the bigger one would be too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/krexchange-tinley-road-blazer#post-651479 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 22:41:11 +0000 Diana 651479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After reading Tanya's rave review of her raspberry Tinley Road knit blazer, I decided to order the blue version that I've been stalking for a while. It arrived today-super fast shipping! Also apparently it was a lie that it was backordered until July. Not complaining though. </p> <p>I really like the color, material, and shape, but I'm wondering if it is too big. I ordered one size up from normal because the reviews indicated that it might be narrow through the arms and shoulders, but I wish I had ordered both sizes now. The sleeves are too long but are fine if I scrunch or cuff. I scrunched one and left one long in the photos to show the length. Is the stance OK or too low?</p> <p>What do you think? Keep, return, or exchange for a smaller size? </p>
