Somehow soothing, yet easily punched up with footwear and a bag. Look forward to seeing your nterpretations. </p> <p>I have a light grayed taupe scuba jacket and a black moto jacket. I would be over either one of them if their hardware was emphasized, but both are quite simple, so they work for my current sensibilities, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out/page/2#post-1318790 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 12:09:02 +0000 gryffin 1318790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh Anna, were blazers ever out?&nbsp; I never met a blazer I didn't like and I adore that look.&nbsp; Also have a huge love of black watch tartan.&nbsp; Cropped, equestrian, long (as you know), oversized, tuxedo - cropped and regular, etc, etc, etc.&nbsp; I have them all and wear them all.&nbsp; I do have a leather moto, it's the perfect topper for many things but blazers have always been preferred.&nbsp; So motos are in, blazers are in, cardigan blazers have a place, cardi a less but enjoyed topper.&nbsp; Styles change but blazers will always be the uber work horse of my wardrobe!!&nbsp; PS&nbsp; I think you'd look awesome in that outift!!&nbsp; Can't wait to see your renditions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out/page/2#post-1318773 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 11:51:25 +0000 viva 1318773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this. I definitely need a wool blazer for this fall, but I want a more equestrian one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out/page/2#post-1318683 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 06:31:52 +0000 Greyscale 1318683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always feel like my&nbsp;blazers are too dressy for my life (because my two favorite blazers are black suiting wool, not casual) whereas motos fit perfectly. But I love blazers so much. One of mine&nbsp;is an amazing Theyskens Theory blazer from a few years ago&nbsp;that is just a tiny bit edgier than I usually wear (big shoulder pads, etc). Maybe a goal for this fall should be to work it back into my outfits.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out/page/2#post-1318676 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 06:18:12 +0000 Adelfa 1318676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my motos and they work on my body. Also, even though I'm in LA (though not in a fashion-forward industry, lol) hardly anyone I know wears a moto and mine get commented on as something different.</p> <p>Blazers on the other hand I can rarely get to fit right. Also I'm not 100% sure that I feel comfortable with their vibe. Although my Theory blazer that I spent on in 2012 is a dream to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out/page/2#post-1318631 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 05:01:14 +0000 Cerinda 1318631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That revisionist blazer would be great on you. &nbsp;</p> <p>I'm staying in moto-land until I get over my fear of dressing just like my late beloved fashionista mama. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318597 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 04:00:05 +0000 Anonymous 1318597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually really like your blazer inspiration. Ever since I consigned my pleather moto, I've been wondering if I would replace it with a real leather version. Thing is, I'm just not sure if I'm a moto gal. Then I saw motos at Walmart, and I must say that gave me pause! It's hard to look tough or edgy in a moto when every soccer mom (like me) is wearing one. They've become very commonplace, but I guess that's how the trend cycle runs.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318596 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 03:58:32 +0000 CocoLion 1318596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds like a great uniform Anna! &nbsp;I think you will look amazing in it, with your gorgeous toned long legs.</p> <p>I still love my motos, I have two of them. &nbsp;One white one, which I plan to wear again in September - October, and one black one from Zara that's showing quite a bit of wear. &nbsp;I have not had the urge to replace it.</p> <p>As toppers go, I am excited about the oversized cardigan look. &nbsp;So cozy, right up my alley. &nbsp;I'm also excited to pull out my coats again. &nbsp;Here are three exciting new coat looks I'm lusting for. &nbsp;As well as a long blazer from the genius of Ann. &nbsp;I'm not sure if this is her last collection, or if this is the first done by her staff which took over designing for her. &nbsp;In any case it's gorgeous, dramatic and timeless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318593 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 03:53:20 +0000 Grey Rainbow 1318593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's it! Very cool jacket and even better, your idea for the Fall uniform. I'll do a different top under the jacket -- not feeling the button front shirt lately -- but you have hit on the cool girl formula. Naturally. I feel more confident to break out my blazers now :)</p> <p>Can't say I'm moto'd out but can't say it's been high on my wish list either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318585 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 03:45:11 +0000 karymk 1318585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I am moto'ed out even though I only had three pieces ala moto. &nbsp;I knew i wasn't going to love it for long anyway, so luckily my things were from Zara. &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318582 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 03:43:42 +0000 Janet 1318582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like that blazer and that whole outfit very much, and could see copying it in some way. I can really see you taking it on and really running with it! </p> <p>Interesting to see you speak of a uniform -- you don't seem like a uniform gal, but its always fun to shake things up and defy expectations.</p> <p>I'm not over motos. Probably never will be. They outnumber blazers in my closet now, and that reflects how often I actually wear each style. I think that because my jean choices tend to be less trendy, I lean away from blazers so I don't look too officey or conservative. Motos suit my style and my life better, for the most part. But I still enjoy blazers for a change of pace.</p> <p>Looking forward to seeing how you approach this blazer outfit formula. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318577 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 03:42:05 +0000 Mo 1318577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't gotten to wear my motos enough to tire of them. Blazers, either for that matter.&nbsp;Damn moves!! Argh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318572 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 03:37:02 +0000 rae 1318572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still like my own motos, but I'm not jonesing for more, that's for sure. That said, I am still not sure what Fall trends I'm drawn to. I do love this new formula as an idea for you, Anna! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318499 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 02:40:51 +0000 Ariadne 1318499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sound of that uniform! &nbsp;I'm picturing it with your Ceinture booties and PS1. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318434 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 01:41:02 +0000 Suz 1318434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will join this team!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Blazers, denim, shirts, and ankle boots have been my favourite uniform since I was in my early 20s. And that is long ago.&nbsp;</p> <p>But I'm planning to make this more conscious for the fall.&nbsp;</p> <p>I haven't actually got a moto -- not a classic one, anyway. I do have a white leather jacket from Danier that is more of&nbsp; a scuba style. So I guess you can't say I am moto'ed out....I would still go for one if I found the right one. But blazers have always been my favourites.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318425 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 01:32:41 +0000 Faith 1318425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm very much a uniform dresser, but motos are still my uniform, I'll see how I feel in another year. I do like the blazer you've linked, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318422 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 01:31:18 +0000 ironkurtin 1318422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Motos are not allowed to go out of style when I've finally found some that I like.</p> <p>Typically AG is waaaaaaaaaaay ahead of my curve... I guess I should feel good that I also own some blazers? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318367 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 01:03:14 +0000 san 1318367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your idea for a blazer with distressed jeans.&nbsp; I have never been a blazer wearer and I have a beautiful one that I bought last year and have not worn yet.&nbsp; You've given me good ideas on how to take the prep out of the blazer.&nbsp; I still love moto's but it seems to be harder to know what a real moto is because to me a lot of jacket styles are being called moto. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318326 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 00:37:17 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1318326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blazer and the way it is styled are seductive. It almost makes me want to copy, too. Your thoughts about a uniform are intriguing. I don't picture you as a uniform dresser. I'm attracted to the idea, but I get bored too easily to make it work.<br />As to blazers versus moto jackets. . . . I just bought my first moto recently. It still has the tags on it, though I'm pretty sure I'm keeping it. It's a cropped version in <a href="http://www.freepeople.com/denim-jackets/cropped-moto-jacket/" rel="nofollow">faded black denim, from Free People</a>.<br />I've tried blazers, but I haven't been able to get into them since I left my office work behind (2005). <br />It would be <i>so</i> typical of me to start wearing a moto jacket when the trend is waning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318304 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 00:22:53 +0000 cciele 1318304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can totally see you in that uniform -- it's simple, but you will make it your own look with those special Anna touches.</p> <p>For me, there's a place for both motos and blazers -- although I haven't quite found blazers that work for me (but that may change soon).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318297 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 00:19:41 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1318297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's very preppy, but in a definitely good way. Just don't take it too far and go all AC/DC guy on us! Probably the Japanese book of prep (I forget the name) style plus the silver loafers will kill it nicely. </p> <p>I used to not like motos, because it seemed like they all had big epaulets and wide lapels, neither of which suited my wide shoulders and short neck. But lately I've been able to find some that are more moderated, and I really like them. But blazers are more my favorite...I think I have this baseline feeling that if you put a really good blazer on, then you are all set to go just about anywhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318284 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 00:08:05 +0000 Kristin L 1318284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No wonder. That's an awesome blazer.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sometimes you get tired of seeing something that everywhere and want to mix it up a bit. Especially someone like you who starts ahead of the trend curve.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318276 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 00:02:05 +0000 abc 1318276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, what kind of shoes would you pair with this outfit? I know it will be something fashion forward to cut the modern classic of the blazer. Just trying to imagine what that footwear could be. Or an example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318268 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 23:52:23 +0000 Gigi 1318268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, I so love that blazer! I have become enamored of blazers recently too and am looking to add one to my closet this fall. I am thinking of trying the same thing: blazer, simple shirt, jeans (though I am going to not go the distressed route), and shoes. Funny thing is, I hadn't thought of wearing *interesting* shoes! I was going to make them plain. I'll have to think about that.</p> <p>I am still looking for the perfect moto jacket for myself, so I am not moto-ed out yet! I'm glad Angie says that they're classics, because otherwise by the time I find one, they'll probably be on the way out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318251 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 23:36:14 +0000 DonnaF 1318251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that blazer!&nbsp; Wonder how many years it will be before something like that filters down to the Petite size range?&nbsp; I'm not surprised you're moto'd out since they really seem to be over saturating mainstream stores.&nbsp; Nonetheless, I've yet to find one I love that both fits and flatters me, but even my eyes are growing tired.&nbsp; Being short, I still favor a tough look or a look that might get me a pat on the head.&nbsp; Gr-r-r-r.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318238 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 23:18:05 +0000 rabbit 1318238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't yet scratched my moto jacket itch, and they don't seem to be saturated at the street level where I live&nbsp;(in the same way maxi dresses are for example), so my eye isn't tired.</p> <p>I can see classic slightly retro blazers styled in a new way working well for you though.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318230 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 23:13:06 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1318230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope. Love moto jackets and they tend to work well for my body type. But I adore a classic blazer too. Room for both IMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318224 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 23:05:50 +0000 Angie 1318224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE that uniform, Anna.&nbsp;</p> <p>Motos are Modern Classics. (They<i>&nbsp;are</i>&nbsp;HECTICALY trendy too).&nbsp;&nbsp;They are always in style - I'm personally not moto-ed out. Have had an updated&nbsp;moto in my wardrobe since I was a teen. Like Aida - I wear motos, blazers and coats for the most part.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for blazers and shirts - well, Anna. You are preaching to the converted. More Modern Classics. I can't wait to wear my new Smythe blazer&nbsp;with white jeans and cognac booties (which I still have to get).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318209 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 22:46:04 +0000 rachylou 1318209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's interesting, Anna! Motos really aren't me, so I can't say I have a feel for it.</p> <p>Do have a question though - can you get by with a blazer? Motos provide a lot more by way of protection from the elements. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motoed-out#post-1318191 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 22:32:34 +0000 Thistle 1318191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still like my moto, but I am not cutting edge. I also like my blazers. Button downs elude me due to fit, but I do like them with a turtleneck, especially in my winters. </p>
