But I guess modern classic is going to have that ladylike feel to it. I can tell you my husband would *never* describe me as ladylike!!! LOL!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706750 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 00:05:49 +0000 Aida 706750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christy, I didn't see that other thread but I must say that after meeting you in person several times you don't come across in any way as _negatively_ lady like; your clothing may be refined, but you definitely know how to have a good time. I mean that as a compliment, not sure how to word it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706738 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 23:57:20 +0000 christy 706738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay - a killer from Angie! That always makes my day!</p> <p>And thanks everyone for your comments! </p> <p>JR: The lack of black bottoms is entirely due to your comment, so thank you! :)<br /> San: Don't you just love this jacket? I'm really looking forward to wearing it a ton.<br /> Aida: Yes the jacket is leather trimmed - isn't that cool?! The shoes really are a dark charcoal grey even thought they called them black on the website.<br /> Una: That's so interesting that you say that because when Angie posted on my other thread that I'm extremely ladylike, it kind of took me by surprise! LOL! That's never been a style goal of mine, but it must be how I come across? Maybe that's why I want to "toughen" things up a bit.<br /> Claire: Glad I can help getting the creative juices flowing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706692 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 23:19:51 +0000 Angie 706692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706665 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 22:37:53 +0000 Anonymous 706665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lurve! It looks great Christy, the booties pick up the black from the blazer and everything ties in nicely. I'm hoping to wear black and white together a lot this fall. Your style inspires me more than you could know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706613 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 21:21:37 +0000 catgirl 706613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, LOVE! So dapper yet feminine - I think the edge you are looking for may be a bit of masculine element to play with your femme style? Because that's what I see here and it's great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706605 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 21:17:32 +0000 Aida 706605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! Is this blazer leather trimmed? If so, FUN! The outfit is a wee bit top heavy to my eye, but that's not necessarily a bad thing; black shoes might solve this. I love seeing you in color, this teal is lovely on you!</p> <p>EDIT: OK so I see in the text that the shoes are actually black, but they look gray on my monitor. Odd! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706503 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 18:55:44 +0000 Jem 706503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this with the teal and white pants and the bag! The teal definitely jazzes it up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706487 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 18:38:32 +0000 san 706487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this jacket too at NAS. I love how you're wearing it with white pants and the shoes and accessories are perfect.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706250 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 14:49:47 +0000 Dana 706250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your style! Your pose in #2 is great!</p> <p>I bought a teal top at Nas that I'm wearing tons. Your blouse has a very brilliant quality to it especially with the black and white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706227 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 14:31:09 +0000 JR 706227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love this! Teal is such a wonderful colour and the white really makes it pop. You always dress with sophisticated class, but now you've added a note of joy too.</p> <p>I would welcome you to the dark side, but maybe it's really the other way around. ;o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706186 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 13:34:05 +0000 christy 706186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! Glad to hear there's no seasonal confusion. I was really happy in this outfit and even had a woman tell me I looked very chic with the jacket and shoes. It's always nice to have your newest purchases validated! :)</p> <p>Parsley - yes these are the same shoes! Glad to hear they are comfortable for you. I think once the leather softens up a bit they'll be perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706170 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 13:12:21 +0000 Transcona Shannon 706170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706168 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 13:10:53 +0000 Beth Ann 706168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This look is very polished and easy -- great for the office, because it combines professionalism and approachability. Teal, along with the slight sheen in the fabric, adds a bit of vibrance, and the pearls and the soft white a bit of femininity. The end of summer can often fall flat fashion wise, but you're keep the standard high! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706127 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 12:19:21 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 706127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful jacket. I like it with the white and teal but it would work really well over a dress to create the column too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706112 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 11:19:13 +0000 Suz 706112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! The jacket is lovely and it looks terrific with the teal and the white. Great, versatile piece. It reads as grey from a distance in fact... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706083 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 07:54:34 +0000 harmonica 706083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab! Great jacket and you can go either season and do no wrong. Darker colours for autumn/winter and lighter/white for spring/summer. The outfit is fab and your accessories (shoes, necklace, bag) ties it nicely together. No confusion </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706072 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 07:22:41 +0000 lyn67 706072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant ideea, and agree it's working exceptionally! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706033 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 04:45:06 +0000 K. Period. 706033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! I love the black and white jacket with the white trousers. It really works for summer with the bright teal. I can tell the jacket will be fabulous with darker trousers in the fall. Great purchase! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706020 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 04:21:48 +0000 Parsley 706020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new jacket looks great with the white pants and teal top, Christy!<br /> And your reptile bag ties it all together. Black and white jackets definitely are a good look for you!</p> <p>I think those are the same Fidjis that I have in taupe! Are they like these in the picture? Whichever ones they are, I like them! Mine are surprisingly comfortable, but I had to size up in them, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706015 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 04:09:30 +0000 christy 706015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies!<br /> Deborah, no I never posted these shoes as a K/R - one of the few shoe decisions I've been able to make on my own! :)<br /> Sara, they were not as comfortable as my other pair of fidjis on the first wearing, but I think they'll loosen up and be quite comfortable. They ran a bit small - my other Fidji's are a 6.5, but I had to size up in these to a 7.<br /> Sarah, I did keep all of the others! These types of jackets are a bit of a "signature" for me as Angie puts it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-706001 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 03:49:56 +0000 sarah 706001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, Christy - you look so sharp in this. I didn't get to comment on your other thread, but I hope you kept all your other B&amp;W jackets.</p> <p>I love the Fidjis! And I love the white pants and the teal top. You look super fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-705989 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 03:24:54 +0000 MNsara 705989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is great! It seems mid-toned enough to lighten up (like you did) or darken down (with winter black).</p> <p>Seeing it over the teal top makes me want to see it over a teal dress (for a short column of color?)</p> <p>How do you like those new Fidji's? Cute peek at them. I'd love to get an even better look. . . do you think they'll work well with dresses/skirts? How did the sizing work for this style? Can you tell I have both colors in my Amazon cart. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-705986 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 03:18:01 +0000 Deborah 705986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a stunning jacket Christy:) I like this styoing. Everying works and ties in well to my eye. The lovely silver chain necklace 'connects' to the white trousers and the shoes with the jacket . Not seasonally confused to my eye:)</p> <p>Oh by the way... have we seen the shoes before??? They look nice, did you post them on another thread? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/newest-black-and-white-jacket-comes-out-to-play#post-705983 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 03:15:03 +0000 christy 705983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As you may have seen in one of my recent posts, I do love my black and white jackets. This is the newest addition to my collection - a Classiques Entier jacket that I bought at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I was pleased as punch to see it on Angie's list after I'd already picked it up! ;)</p> <p>JR pointed out in that other post that I always pair these jackets with black. She suggested a column of color, but since that would require, you know, color (LOL!) I decided to pull out my white pants and a teal top. What do you think? Does the leather trim seem seasonally confused with the white pants? Sorry for the goofy pose in #2 - I'm trying to show my new funky-for-me black Fidjis! :)</p> <p>Outfit details:<br /> Classiques Entier Jacket<br /> AT teal sleeveless blouse<br /> Gap white pants<br /> Black Fidjis<br /> Steve Madden reptile print bag<br /> Stella &amp; Dot silver chain necklace </p>
