I just wanted to say that I think you look fab in all of these iterations - and I really liked the shoulders and the double breasted style on you. Fingers crossed for a new version that ticks ALL the boxes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think/page/2#post-1028173 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 04:11:02 +0000 Deborah 1028173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon I am so glad Angie was able to chime in:). I only commented as I did because I know when you ask, it's because you want honest appraisals. Your perfect navy jacket is out there:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think/page/2#post-1028171 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 04:03:38 +0000 rachylou 1028171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this blazer, esp. with a "column" underlayer - like the dress and all-white outfit (#10 and #12). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1028136 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 03:10:47 +0000 MsLuna 1028136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally like it. Especially with the Bailey dresses! You styled it well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1028123 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 02:59:51 +0000 CocoLion 1028123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting to read through this. &nbsp;I really liked the way this looked with both of your dresses. &nbsp;But I guess I still have to learn a few things as far as fit goes. &nbsp;(To me it looked great in the shoulders and as for the length, as long as the length was not unflattering, I thought it worked. &nbsp;Unflattering as in ending on the widest part of you which is 90% of the time my problem with tops and jackets.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027975 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 22:54:37 +0000 Caro in Oz 1027975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how open &amp; positive you &nbsp;- that's a real gift imo :)<br />As ag says you'll find the right one :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027678 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 16:58:14 +0000 catgirl 1027678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, you will find the right one! The straight hem was giving me pause as well, especially if you want to wear with dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027585 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:55:04 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1027585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have&nbsp;<i>very much</i> appreciated all input into this discussion - even when it wasn't really what I wanted to hear - lol!</p> <p>I asked Angie on a separate thread this morning what she thought&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-navy-blazer-quandry?replies=5">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....?replies=5</a>&nbsp;and those of you who felt the fit and/or style was "off" can congratulate yourself for being on the same page as our wonderful style leader :)</p> <p>So as much as it pains me (primarily 'cause I hate to admit when I'm wrong - lol!), I will send the jacket off to consignment. I actually have some monies coming to me from the sale of some other items so will possibly use that to find my perfect navy blazer.</p> <p>Thanks again everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027500 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:12:46 +0000 donnat 1027500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it even more now that I have seen it styled. Love it with the jeans, the tiered dress and the column of white. Keep for the joy of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027486 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:06:59 +0000 Lisa 1027486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like a very versatile piece so I vote keep!&nbsp; And if it really does become a workhorse, you can always shop for a replacement blazer and feel comfortable with the investment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027425 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 12:39:05 +0000 Janet 1027425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and I do like the idea of switching out the buttons if you keep. It might just be the photos, but the buttons look kind of dark and flat, which is a dated look. Some carefully chosen muted metallic buttons could be nice. I have given a few things new life with a change of buttons! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027420 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 12:35:58 +0000 Suz 1027420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet makes a lot of sense. Your pleasure in it may be related to factors other than the appearance. And also -- it is <b>OKAY</b> to have sugar eye for some things -- and the fact that so-and-so doesn't like it is not a reason to reject it. You might have a poison eye for something so-and-so loves. You know?&nbsp;</p> <p>Example -- my floral blazer from Zara. Tons of people hated it. Some even felt it didn't fit my style. Well, I wore it constantly all spring and early summer and loved it. And got ten million compliments on it, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027385 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 11:32:11 +0000 Janet 1027385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye, it's not bad. It's a little retro, perhaps, but everything you're wearing with it is quite current, which helps keep you from looking like you shopped your 1990 closet.</p> <p>I find that when opinion is so divided, I tend to go with my original gut feeling. How do you feel in this? Are you eager to wear it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027380 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 11:22:41 +0000 Deborah 1027380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I feel bad saying this, but I am not loving it:(. There is something that makes me feel it's just a bit off. Looking at it again, it's the boxyness and the length...it is looking dated to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027245 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 03:23:12 +0000 MsMary 1027245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if it's got a high happiness factor, that should be the end of the story,&nbsp; Remember Angie's first rule:&nbsp; Have fun with fashion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027231 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 02:54:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1027231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - talk about a divided opinion!<br /> I will say that my happiness factor is pretty high when I put this jacket on but is that enough to warrant keeping it? Do I have so much of a sugar eye for this style that it blinds my objectivity? Or is this one of those times where I say "to heck with it" and wear it and rock it?</p> <p>Need to do more thinking on it...tomorrow. Good night my Fabbers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027219 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 02:45:22 +0000 rae 1027219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, now that I've had a day to let it sink in and&nbsp;take my poison eye out of the equation for a moment... I still sort of think that between the strong shoulder, the double breast buttons, and the nipped waist, it sort of looks like it has been in your closet since the 80s. Sorry to be a big ol' wet blanket, especially since the other ladies love it. Took me another look to realize, but it's more than just the shoulder pads. *runs away with tail between legs* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027208 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 02:30:34 +0000 Caro in Oz 1027208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Suz - if you love it keep it. It isn't a huge outlay&nbsp;:) For the record I keep&nbsp;imagining these outfits with a great fitting "shaped at the waist: navy&nbsp;blazer or tuxedo shape also with fitting at the waist. Just my take Again, loving it out-weighs anything I might say </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027198 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 02:18:21 +0000 amiable 1027198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I need a navy blazer - fantastic job styling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027185 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 02:02:40 +0000 Sara L. 1027185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like how you've styled it here. &nbsp;I especially like the pants outfits and #12 is my favorite with the contrasting white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027173 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 01:42:29 +0000 Diana 1027173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I knew it was all in the styling! These all look great and no corporate stuffiness in sight! 1 and 8 are my faves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027169 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 01:38:46 +0000 Jaime 1027169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still like it. I especially love it with white and #1 is my favorite.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027166 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 01:34:21 +0000 Day Vies 1027166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KEEEEEEEEP! I love all the iterations as I too have a tomboy streak and this is crisp, modern and quintessentially Shannon. It looks like a classic to me with military leanings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027158 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 01:23:19 +0000 Suz 1027158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I keep coming back to hem and haw, Shannon. I need to think on this.&nbsp;</p> <p>In the end, I say this: if the happiness factor is high and the price is low, what is to lose? You need a navy blazer, correct? And don't have a lot of pennies now to spend. So if it works for your purposes, then can it be a holder for now?&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like it in #12. I think it's at its very best with the tapered but not super slouchy jean. Makes an IT triangle shape overall that I find appealing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027152 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 01:06:13 +0000 nancylee 1027152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed the first post, Shannon, but these looks are nice. &nbsp;It seems like a perfectly fine blazer, so maybe it would be worth it to hold onto it.</p> <p>If you decide to keep it, would you consider&nbsp;replacing the buttons with something more exciting? &nbsp;Maybe it's the lighting, but the buttons seem very dark.&nbsp;It would be an easy fix to change them out.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027125 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 00:37:36 +0000 Karie 1027125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did a great job styling it! I like it with the pants much better than with the dresses. I do like your other blazers better than this one, but it does fit well. Do you have any other double breasted blazers? If not,&nbsp;it might be a nice style option for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027118 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 00:29:11 +0000 Beth Ann 1027118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore the shoulder line --- strong and structured, but not exaggerated.&nbsp; I like it best in 4 &amp; 12.&nbsp; These outfits give a little tip of the hat to the 90's in a cool way, but are modern and classic.&nbsp; I'm not crazy about the straight hem line in front with the dresses -- I like a curved bottom hem in front a little better with those, but I'm being picky.&nbsp; </p> <p>What's the happiness factor? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027115 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 00:26:21 +0000 deb 1027115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it with the jeans, bot pair, rather then the dresses.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027103 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 00:11:30 +0000 catgirl 1027103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My IT self immediately sees the shoulders but that is me, not you. If you love it and will wear it, you have styled it well. And we are still going to make mistakes so don't feel bad if the glow wears off, but hopefully it will be a workhorse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/navy-blazer-stylings---now-what-do-you-think#post-1027094 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 00:01:48 +0000 MsMary 1027094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still a fan.&nbsp; I think these all look great! </p>
