I said "No, thank you, I have too many hangers", to which she immediately replied "That just means you do not have enough clothes!". My closet would disagree, but it was still amusing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loft-striped-jacket-angie-recommendation---kr#post-554223 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 08:34:56 +0000 Makrame 554223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the kind comments, everyone! I debated whether to show some of the combos because I was not sure they worked so I am pleasantly surprised by the warm reception. The fit and quality are definitely good on this jacket, and the price was great - under $60 on sale.</p> <p>I also debated whether this is a bit too preppy for me, and a few comments on the blog about the striped trend being too common now also gave me pause. But considering that I have always liked stripes, I figured I might as well make this trend my own, and not worry too much about looking like a part of the crowd. I have really enjoyed wearing blazers and jackets this year but only have two lightweight tailored jackets so this will be a nice addition.</p> <p>One comment for anyone who is considering this jacket - care instructions say "dry clean only", which one would expect for a lined jacket. Since this will likely be a warm-weather piece, this may be a bit limiting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loft-striped-jacket-angie-recommendation---kr#post-554221 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 08:26:56 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 554221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jacket! Looks good on you! </p> <p>(and so pleasing when it's 40% off and the last in your size. SUCH a good feeling...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loft-striped-jacket-angie-recommendation---kr#post-554220 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 08:26:39 +0000 Makrame 554220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie, thanks for your recommendation - it is a really nice jacket for sure. I have another Loft jacket from this fall that seems to be really good quality, not flimsy like a lot of their other stuff, so I was wondering whether their jackets are better made than other items. </p> <p>I am OK with the sleeve length as long as it looks/is intentional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loft-striped-jacket-angie-recommendation---kr#post-554213 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 08:01:59 +0000 Deborah 554213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore this on you. Definitely a keeper! And your very thrown together styling is quite fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loft-striped-jacket-angie-recommendation---kr#post-554205 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 07:37:35 +0000 Kirti 554205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you and I love your styling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loft-striped-jacket-angie-recommendation---kr#post-554189 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 06:23:15 +0000 Angie 554189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a really great jacket don't you think, Makrame? Nicely made, and fits you well. I like the sleeve length but understand that it's an acquired taste. </p> <p>You did a great job of throwing stuff together in your wardrobe without "styling the outfits". Well done! I just love #4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loft-striped-jacket-angie-recommendation---kr#post-554168 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 05:43:07 +0000 ManidipaM 554168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All VERY nice, Makrame! And I think it's actually a very good fit. I actually asked about sleeve lengths on that blog post, and it does seem as though the shorter length is intentional. Looks good to my eye, both let down and scrunched/rolled. My favourite combos here are #1 and #5, though I also really love the pattern mix with the top in #3/#4 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loft-striped-jacket-angie-recommendation---kr#post-554155 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 05:32:36 +0000 Anonymous 554155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this even more than on the website.

Lucky you finding your size and on sale! It seems that it will go with a bunch of different outfits, as you have shown. I think it looks really great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loft-striped-jacket-angie-recommendation---kr#post-554130 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 04:43:06 +0000 Sveta 554130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a great fit, Makrame. You can push up or scrunch sleeves if this length bothers you - I do it all the time because sleeves are always too short on me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loft-striped-jacket-angie-recommendation---kr#post-554112 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 04:09:18 +0000 Isis 554112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this jacket on you!!!!</p> <p>You've shown how surprisingly versatile this jacket is! I think the sleeve length is fine, at least to my eye.</p> <p>I like it best open.</p> <p>I vote keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loft-striped-jacket-angie-recommendation---kr#post-554108 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 03:56:22 +0000 Anonymous 554108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makrame, I love this on you! I just went back to Angie's blog post on this and it looks like the sleeves are bracelet length on the model. I'm also drooling a bit, truth be told. I love that this stripe is navy and taupe, a bit softer than black and white. Yet it is still sharp and graphic enough to really spice up the outfits you've paired it with. I especially like the first one, with the purple top and grey skirt, but it would go with so many things, as you've illustrated. I vote to try rolling the sleeves once, and then scrunch to the elbow. You look so chic and elegant, I hope you'll keep it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loft-striped-jacket-angie-recommendation---kr#post-554090 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 03:28:13 +0000 Makrame 554090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I picked up the jacket from Angie's blog post at the Loft today - it was the last in my size and 40% off so I figured I'll bring it home and see how it looks in the photos. What do you think?</p> <p>The fit seems OK but I am not sure about the length of the sleeves - they are short-ish but not quite 3/4 length so I tried them folded up as well. These are not really styled - I just threw on whatever I could find in my closet without digging too deep. </p>
