Anyway,&nbsp;I like the blazer very much and love your styling pics here. All iterations work really well and I like them all. My faves are probably 2,4 and 5.<br /> Looks like you'll get a lot of wear out of your new jacket.:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-white-blazer-musings-and-experiments#post-927385 Wed, 08 May 2013 05:46:15 +0000 Ingunn 927385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! I'm thrilled that you see what I see. Yes, Suz, the white on white looked a lot better IRL. The dress is very textured, and the blazer has a smooth finish, and the two fabrics play so well together. I could change the clutch (if I had a better alternative), but otherwise I think it's good as is. DD's spontaneously excaimed that she loved it, so there's my evidence;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-white-blazer-musings-and-experiments#post-927377 Wed, 08 May 2013 05:35:40 +0000 Suz 927377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You did brilliantly with it, Ingunn! I'm especially thrilled to see you did try it with not just one sheath but two! I have the feeling the white-on-white works better in person. I know I've tried some white on white looks that some people didn't care for in the photos, but I <b>KNEW</b> looked good IRL. I suspect that is happening here. The textures make it, right? I <b>LOVE</b> the last look.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-white-blazer-musings-and-experiments#post-927360 Wed, 08 May 2013 04:44:21 +0000 AJ 927360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ There is no doubt that this blazer belongs in your wardrobe!&nbsp; I especially luv it with the two column of black outfits.<br /><br />Ah, the thrifting high is achieved when one finds a treasure like this!&nbsp; :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-white-blazer-musings-and-experiments#post-927353 Wed, 08 May 2013 04:26:00 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 927353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really love how you've styled this blazer!&nbsp; You look fresh and crisp and summery. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-white-blazer-musings-and-experiments#post-927316 Wed, 08 May 2013 02:42:05 +0000 Carole 927316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great, Ingunn!

Sorry I missed the first thread. Had two clients today and was very busy. <br /><br />All super-duper renditions!! #3 and #5 are my best, but they are all an 11 out of 10. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-white-blazer-musings-and-experiments#post-927274 Wed, 08 May 2013 02:04:53 +0000 amiable 927274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh My! &nbsp;These are fantastic! &nbsp;You make me NEED a white blazer.... a new reason to start visiting thrift stores again.... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-white-blazer-musings-and-experiments#post-927273 Wed, 08 May 2013 02:01:46 +0000 Karie 927273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You've done a fantastic job styling this jacket!

Yes! That is one of the best things about thrifting for me - I would be bankrupt if I had paid normal prices for all my failed experiments.&nbsp;<br /><br />Anyway, you look great in <i>this</i> white jacket. I especially love #1 and #4. I will be pulling out my white jacket to play with today! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-white-blazer-musings-and-experiments#post-927208 Wed, 08 May 2013 00:35:10 +0000 Missey 927208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Emanuelle Alt has nothing on you!&nbsp; Perfection.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-white-blazer-musings-and-experiments#post-927146 Tue, 07 May 2013 23:15:11 +0000 Eliza 927146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to work that jacket. So many great options. Also appreciate you sharing your thought process. It is great to think about broader style goals, as well as what one wants to get out of a specific item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-white-blazer-musings-and-experiments#post-927133 Tue, 07 May 2013 23:00:27 +0000 Parsley 927133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love it!&nbsp;<br />You've styled it really well in your pictures, and I have no doubt that you will have lots of use and enjoyment from your new jacket.<br />I'd really like to find one like it! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-white-blazer-musings-and-experiments#post-927127 Tue, 07 May 2013 22:55:26 +0000 Anonymous 927127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ingunn, I have not read your other posts about this blazer, but from your quote at the top, I was ready open the pictures and see some horrible, dated jacket. Imagine my surprise when I saw this very nice, longer, current and perfect fitting blazer on you! I love it. It almost looks like a cream dinner jacket, very elegant, and you have styled it to perfection.&nbsp;<br /><br />In case you haven't noticed, this 'thrifting and playing around with an item and potentially upgrading later'&nbsp;is also my modus operendi (sp?). Well done! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-white-blazer-musings-and-experiments#post-927111 Tue, 07 May 2013 22:41:14 +0000 Jjsloane 927111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I knew this would work for you.

In the photo it does not work so well with the white dress. I think it would work great with a more saturated color or a white + something print. Bookending with the Con's is great. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-white-blazer-musings-and-experiments#post-927013 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:15:45 +0000 nancylee 927013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gorgeous, every one! &nbsp;#2 is simply stunning (that black dress can do no wrong).<br /><br />You have such a fun attitude&nbsp;about trying new combinations, Ingunn. &nbsp;I really need to take a page from your book and experiment with my closet more. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-white-blazer-musings-and-experiments#post-927007 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:11:30 +0000 ElleH 927007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 1, 2, 4 &amp; 5! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-white-blazer-musings-and-experiments#post-927006 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:10:00 +0000 Day Vies 927006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love it! I love jackets like these they are universally flattering in cut and it looks fabulous with every look you've posted. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-white-blazer-musings-and-experiments#post-927004 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:08:00 +0000 Ingunn 927004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ In <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-white-blazer/page/2#post-926889">my final reply on my K/R white blazer thread</a>, I wrote:&nbsp;<br /><i>I actually wore the blazer to work today, with a breton and black cropped pants. The blazer might not be a 10, but to me, it is a good starting point for experimenting with this look. My four family members are all very positive, too, a.k.a. the fashion police (aged 45, 19, 16 and 14). As far as I'm concerned, this thrifted jacket is in line with the playful part of my style descriptor, if nothing else. I strongly believe in, and enjoy playing with, fashion. It's not my goal to be trendy at all times, nor fashion forward, but I'd like to remain current. What I don't enjoy, is too many rules, so I try not to mind them too much if I notice any. My challenge with this jacket is to make it&nbsp;</i><i>mine</i><span><i>, and to see if I can mould it into my wardrobe to my content. If I find a better looking blazer along the way (which I agree is very probable), it will be very simple to return this one to the Salvation Army. For now, I'm quite happy with the result.</i><br /><br />I'm actually quite excited with the blazer right now. For some looks it fits the bill quite well, in my opinion. I've no illusions of resembling <a rel="nofollow" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/231302130834604116/">Emanuelle Alt,</a> who is infinitely more cool and chic than me, but a girl can dream, right? I will have to&nbsp;make this my own style anyway.<br /><br />Here are a few stylings I hope you will agree with me on:<br /><br />#1: WIW today at work - white blazer,&nbsp;cashmere scarf (in the morning only), breton, black cropped pants, silver chain w/ black pearls, snakeskin flats, black tote<br />#2: White blazer, black sheath, white clutch, black pumps&nbsp;<br />#3: White blazer, white sheath, white clutch, silver sandals&nbsp;<br />#4: White blazer, black lace shell, narrow belt, black cropped pants, black pumps, white clutch.<br />#5: White blazer, chambray shirt, straight leg jeans, white cons, cognac messenger bag.<br /></span><br />What do you think? Any and all comments and suggestions are appreciated.&nbsp;Thanks for looking!&nbsp;<br />
