I love the top you posted, and could certainly see it looking fab on you, but I'm not sure about its use at a conference. Since it would likely be a great piece in your closet anyway, I'd recommend purchasing and trying with your conference capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-semi-casual-jacket-pondering-what-do-you-think#post-851929 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 22:15:09 +0000 unfrumped 851929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do think that could work for "structured casual" when you can combine comfort with<br /> bit of polish. I could see it with slim ponte knit pants and dark-wash jeans to balance the gray knit. Shoes and accessories can make it either more classic or more gearish, and on the same trip. Now I'm interested! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-semi-casual-jacket-pondering-what-do-you-think#post-851912 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 21:26:15 +0000 Caro in Oz 851912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope it works, I find these kind of pieces really useful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-semi-casual-jacket-pondering-what-do-you-think#post-851865 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 19:49:53 +0000 christieanne 851865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it will quite useful - fun with jeans and skirts. If it is reasonable and you like the grey, you can always get the black as well. Some things are worth duplicating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-semi-casual-jacket-pondering-what-do-you-think#post-851700 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 16:46:37 +0000 nancylee 851700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the shape of these casual jackets. Either color would work as a really useful neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-semi-casual-jacket-pondering-what-do-you-think#post-851697 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 16:44:19 +0000 Janet 851697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's quite cute, and I like the idea of grey too.

Other casual skirts would seem to work well too. Fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-semi-casual-jacket-pondering-what-do-you-think#post-851594 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 13:59:43 +0000 Mander 851594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Surprisingly, it's from Asda (basically Wal-Mart, but in the UK). As such it might not be the greatest quality, but then again I have several items from Wal-Mart that have lasted a surprisingly long time.</p> <p>I decided two up votes was good enough so I went ahead and ordered the grey one. I can always return it if I don't like it in person!</p> <p><a href="http://direct.asda.com/george/womens-knitwear/casual-zip-through-cardigan-grey/G004138341,default,pd.html" rel="nofollow">http://direct.asda.com/george/.....lt,pd.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-semi-casual-jacket-pondering-what-do-you-think#post-851587 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 13:50:32 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 851587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with your assessment. The fabric appears to be a casual knit but the style and shape are less casual and the piece should fit nicely. I prefer the black as it seems less casual to my eye. I think you might be surprised by how versatile it is when you try it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-semi-casual-jacket-pondering-what-do-you-think#post-851578 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 13:36:33 +0000 carolbee 851578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, I like. As you say a great "in-between" piece. I have been looking for something like it myself. Where is it from? No doubt the US which means no-go for me in Oz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-semi-casual-jacket-pondering-what-do-you-think#post-851539 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 11:43:35 +0000 merwoman 851539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the silhouette on this Mander. Not sure if I'm digging the two strings that come down on each side - presume that is for cinching in the waist somewhat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-semi-casual-jacket-pondering-what-do-you-think#post-851537 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 11:39:55 +0000 Mander 851537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another thing I'm looking at for my upcoming semi-casual spring conference. What do you think? It is very casual but I think the details make it a step up from a fleece or hooded sweatshirt. I'm aiming for something that is more formal than a jean jacket but less formal than a blazer.</p> <p>This would probably not go so well with a dress but I think it is kind of cute, and could possibly go with my stretch cotton pencil skirts (I have a black and white floral one and a light beige/oyster colored one), and of course my usual uniform of jeans, jeans, and more jeans. Based on my previous experience I expect the outside weather to be rather warm but the AC to be on full blast inside the hotel.</p> <p>What to you think? And do you like the grey or the black? I have a million black cardigans so I am leaning towards grey, myself. If I get it at all. </p>
