I guess I am going to have to wear both versions and figutre out which one I feel better in.<br />Thank you very much Firecracker! I think I am going to wear #1 once an appropriate occasion shows up, maybe dancing if nothing else. Yes, the oxfords are Cole Haan.&nbsp; I am attaching them here. They are ridiculously comfortable, and come in many colors.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review/page/2#post-1349855 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 02:35:00 +0000 Neelie 1349855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all these items...I recently picked up a cream longer blazer at H&amp;M ($39!) that I think I will wear a lot...sometimes their stuff is a hit, sometimes a miss...this season seems to have more hits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review/page/2#post-1349854 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 02:31:23 +0000 Jaime 1349854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant picks Tanya! I want your crossover top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review/page/2#post-1349852 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 02:25:46 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1349852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, you look simply fab in all of these outfits! I love your takes on your inspiration photos. You can certainly pull off #1--wear it out and see how you feel! These are fantastic finds for refreshers. <br />Of course I'm eying your metallic oxfords. . . are they Cole Haans? They are gorgeous, though not quite the shade of metallic I'm looking for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review/page/2#post-1349826 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 01:53:35 +0000 annagybe 1349826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the juxtaposition of the cropped jacket with the baggy jeans. That's how I'd envision wearing it. I'm zagging again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review/page/2#post-1349822 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 01:49:00 +0000 Sveta 1349822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:-)<br />I think I prefer longer jackets with slouchier jeans or pants (on myself) because proportions just look better to me this way. I think we have pretty similar figures with you. Of course you are much slimmer than I but the long torso and big difference between waist and hips is certaily there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review/page/2#post-1349810 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 01:39:50 +0000 Tanya 1349810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, so dilemma solved :)&nbsp; This looks better to my eye as well.&nbsp; I think it is about the slimmer jean fit through the hip.&nbsp; Thank you for helping me figure this out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review/page/2#post-1349803 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 01:35:38 +0000 Sveta 1349803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, yes - these jeans work better to my eye with the jacket than the first BF pair. Actually they work excellent!<br />Suz is so much better in articulating my gut feel </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349750 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 00:38:03 +0000 catgirl 1349750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, in my fantasy life I would look like you in these items! Love the plaid blazer especially! Wish I could find something that looked as cool on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349701 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 23:56:50 +0000 rabbit 1349701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great items and styling! &nbsp;</p> <p>I actually really like the #1&nbsp;slice of skin one, can you wear it dancing? &nbsp;Or out on a hot night? &nbsp;The high neckline and lower heels make it read very elegant to me. &nbsp; I also love #2, especially how the long slender dark jeans balance out the white shirt tail. </p> <p>&nbsp;For #3 I prefer the second pair of jeans and lower roll you posted later. &nbsp;I think it looks more streamlined around the hips and front&nbsp;and something about the higher roll with the oxfords was throwing me off a little bit &nbsp;(for myself I've found I sometimes prefer high vamped shoes with a lower ankle roll because to my eye&nbsp;it transitions better to the shoes with less ankle showing and my legs look longer).</p> <p>I love the purple cross-over under the jacket, and wonder how that whole look would work with the burgundy booties?&nbsp;</p> <p>The flares look is great too, so simple and classy.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349665 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 23:23:51 +0000 rachylou 1349665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I totally thought of Anna right away when I saw the blazer. A nice little number! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349650 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 23:15:40 +0000 Tanya 1349650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see what you mean Suz, that actually makes sense now.&nbsp; Here is an almost the same outfit, with different jeans, these are slightly loose straight cut.&nbsp; Does this work better?&nbsp; I also rolled the lower per Alana;s suggestion.</p> <p>Alana, thank you, the roll could be a factor as well.&nbsp; Here is a new attempt with jeans rolled a bit lower. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349634 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 23:05:24 +0000 Alana in Canada 1349634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say that cropped sweater with the shirt poking out from under was made for long lean ladies like you, Tanya. You rock it. I also love it with the skirt. The small sliver of skin is actually fairly demure. I also love the flares to death.</p> <p>I wonder if what is throwing Sveta off is the contrast is reversed between 3 &amp;4. You top half is high contrast--while the blazer is low contrast with the pants in #3. In #4 it is reversed: there is low contrast between the burgundy and the jacket--and then this long lovely expanse of white. The white pants are also not rolled as high--maybe that's all it will take to balance things out a bit--try unrolling the jeans in #3&nbsp;one roll?--or wear a higher contrast shoe like the inspiration pic? Dunno. Just thinking out loud. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349630 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 23:03:22 +0000 Joyce B 1349630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, your outfits are great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349629 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 23:02:18 +0000 Suz 1349629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh....I wish I could do online orders at H&amp;M. Not possible where I live. But there is a store in town and I can go there tomorrow to check it out.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie, I am short waisted but regular torso (due to a longer rise) -- I wonder if it will work for me. I will take pics. (Assuming they have it). If they don't, I will be in Toronto a week and a half from now and can check it then.&nbsp;</p> <p>Tanya, being nitpicky I can see what Sveta is saying about the BF jeans vs. the white jeans outfit. I think the rise may be a touch higher on the white ones/ and or because they are straighter cut on the hip, the flare of the jacket does not compete with a slight "flare" -- not really a flare, but the looseness -- of the BFs. And you are right -- the model for the BOO may be a straight up and down, not willowy body type like yours.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349621 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 22:55:50 +0000 Mo 1349621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very helpful! &nbsp;Thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349614 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 22:52:22 +0000 Tanya 1349614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are very welcome Mo.&nbsp; Here is the photo of the blouse with the same VS striped skirt. I think the length works fine.&nbsp; It is also pretty TTS for H&amp;M, I am usually a 4 there and that is what I bought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349610 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 22:47:59 +0000 Mo 1349610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thx Angie and Tanya. &nbsp;It's so hard when you aren't in the store able to touch and visualize.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349607 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 22:45:50 +0000 Angie 1349607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I think that blouse is going ti be fine.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349606 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 22:44:58 +0000 Angie 1349606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am very hesitant to recommend that plaid blazer to you, Sveta - too short.&nbsp;You can try it on in Seattle though.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Your crossover blouse made my roundup, Tanya. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349605 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 22:44:28 +0000 Mo 1349605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a high waist but usually try and wear skirts at my belly button, or as low as I can fake my waist to be &nbsp;;) &nbsp;<br />For comparison I can wear my cross front F21 tank with most skirts (and I guess a pant and random short here or there lol)&nbsp;.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349602 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 22:39:31 +0000 Tanya 1349602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I am not really sure, but it is easily checked, I can take a few pictures with some skirts.&nbsp; What type/length of skirts were you thinking of? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349599 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 22:38:04 +0000 Mo 1349599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I'm glad to see you modeling the crossover blouse. &nbsp;I have it tabbed for myself in white, but maybe burgundy too after seeing yours! &nbsp;Do you think it is a good length to pair with skirts?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349598 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 22:36:51 +0000 Tanya 1349598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie, I guess that makes sense.&nbsp; Very curious to see which H&amp;M jackets make your roundup </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349596 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 22:34:03 +0000 Sveta 1349596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, does it mean this plaid blazer may actually work for me or would it be too short? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349593 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 22:31:19 +0000 Angie 1349593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah, Anna. I just collected that Intermix piece too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349592 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 22:30:00 +0000 Angie 1349592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great stuff, Tanya. I was JUST in H&amp;M on Friday, and their items look fabulous. I was impressed with the quality of some of their jackets, which will make my roundup this week.</p> <p>The plaid blazer - which I saw in person on Friday -&nbsp;looks fab on you because you have a very&nbsp;long body. It can look&nbsp;odd on regular and short waisted ladies because the pockets are positioned a little low. I vote proceed with caution to others. You though, should defiantly keep it. xo</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349589 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 22:29:02 +0000 Tanya 1349589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi bj1111, I haven't tried a more fluid top, but that is an excellent idea, I will!&nbsp; Thank you for the suggestion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349583 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 22:23:58 +0000 Tanya 1349583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I do not mind it at all Sveta, quite the opposite, I actually quite enjoy these type of discussions.&nbsp; When I compare to my outfit he model, her jeans do seem to be lower, that is super low.&nbsp; Her hips are probably straighter as well.&nbsp; Or another possibility would be the general proportions, I have a very long torso, asnd she might ahve a normal one. Who knows...&nbsp; I guess I should try at some point&nbsp; take a bunch of pictures with various blazer lengths and jeans types to pinpoint the issue, but I have had enough picture taking for today, so maybe next weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/little-hm-spree-with-plaid-blazer-review#post-1349579 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 22:18:02 +0000 bj1111 1349579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cropped top looks. Have you tried a more fluid rather than structured white top? </p>
