I particularly like 2-3, for the way it stands out against the black, but all of these are great. lyn67 on "Olive Swing Jacket" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-swing-jacket#post-2182481 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 08:31:56 +0000 lyn67 2182481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I so love when this happens, you styled it perfectly in all ways-my fave is with the column of white-as I crave spring and sun, now!!  celia on "Olive Swing Jacket" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-swing-jacket#post-2182249 Thu, 25 Mar 2021 15:43:16 +0000 celia 2182249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My favorite is #1 although all renditions are beautiful. I think adding those lovely blue sneakers made the outfit extra special.

It feels good to have some options with this jacket. I'm thinking about bringing it on a trip in May to San Francisco.  kellygirl on "Olive Swing Jacket" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-swing-jacket#post-2182209 Thu, 25 Mar 2021 13:59:15 +0000 kellygirl 2182209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So glad that you did a lab with this.

I made individual comments to you but somehow they disappeared. What a day! Windchime on "Olive Swing Jacket" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-swing-jacket#post-2182093 Wed, 24 Mar 2021 23:41:56 +0000 Windchime 2182093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Isn’t it fun to find new ways to style an orphan? The coat looks great on you; it’s good that you’ve kept it. The striped turtleneck is fab, but all the outfits look great. I have a similar coat, purchased several years ago, which had become an orphan the last couple years. I’ve enjoyed wearing it several times since Angie’s blog post.  auditorycortex on "Olive Swing Jacket" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-swing-jacket#post-2182090 Wed, 24 Mar 2021 23:35:04 +0000 auditorycortex 2182090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Especially outstanding with the striped turtleneck!

LaPed on "Olive Swing Jacket" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-swing-jacket#post-2182017 Wed, 24 Mar 2021 19:28:34 +0000 LaPed 2182017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gorgeous! I like them all, but I think 5 is my favorite. The extra length and drape make that a pretty special utility-inspired jacket. Not stiff and boxy at all! You could probably take it even dressier if you wanted too. Jenni NZ on "Olive Swing Jacket" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-swing-jacket#post-2182007 Wed, 24 Mar 2021 19:04:58 +0000 Jenni NZ 2182007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am more with Lisap, I like it better with the black. My very favourite is pic 5 with the Docs, then pic 2, then pic 6. I prefer the plain tops. Lots of ways to wear, anyway- no longer orphaned! Irina on "Olive Swing Jacket" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-swing-jacket#post-2181993 Wed, 24 Mar 2021 18:22:33 +0000 Irina 2181993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Perfect, love them all! <div>I also wear a white top plus black pants or jeans with my olive outwear.</div> Bonnie on "Olive Swing Jacket" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-swing-jacket#post-2181991 Wed, 24 Mar 2021 18:14:50 +0000 Bonnie 2181991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ RACHYLOU: Thank you. Yes, the white version with the blue shoes look more like spring to me. Maybe I can wear the other versions for fall. CARDIFF GIRL: Figuring out orphans is difficult. Now I'm wondering if I need an olive flowered dress to wear under it. I haven't bought any thing for this spring yet. LISA P: Yes, it's funny how something that is so perfect on it's own can be difficult to style.  CHRISTINA F: Thanks. I do like to save orphans. This was a gift so it has meaning for me, too. NIKKI: Thank you. I love an artsy look. Those plaid pants are orphans, too, so that's a double triumph to wear them together. ANGIE: You remembered my mustard tote! It will look perfect. I should have thought of it, too. Thanks for your kind words. FIRECRACKER: A denim blue column sounds perfect I'll have to look for a top though. I'll try it with blue denim jeans and a white top. I think that will look more spring like and save the black versions for autumn Firecracker (Sharan) on "Olive Swing Jacket" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-swing-jacket#post-2181986 Wed, 24 Mar 2021 17:42:57 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2181986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love #1! You know what is great about those light blue sneakers? They bring out your eyes. And I really like all of the renditions here--every one is fantastic. #1 is just my favorite. I also wondered, straying from Angie's formula, whether you might try a column of denim-blue under the jacket. Or blue jeans, white top, white or blue sneakers. That seems to me a very "you" combo. Angie on "Olive Swing Jacket" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-swing-jacket#post-2181981 Wed, 24 Mar 2021 17:33:30 +0000 Angie 2181981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ WOW. You are sooo good at this, bonnie. Every rendition is smashing!  I'll be the outlier and like KILLER #1 best of all. Soooo crisp with the white and light blue. I wonder if your mustard tote would work here?  Anonymous on "Olive Swing Jacket" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-swing-jacket#post-2181971 Wed, 24 Mar 2021 17:15:44 +0000 Anonymous 2181971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very artsy!

You look great and I can tell you're very happy with the item now that you've saved it from being an orphan.

The dark pieces really make the jacket stand out and allow it to be the star it should be !  Cardiff girl on "Olive Swing Jacket" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-swing-jacket#post-2181952 Wed, 24 Mar 2021 16:23:51 +0000 Cardiff girl 2181952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It’s satisfying isn’t it when you finally work out how to wear an orphaned piece of clothing.l think #3and#6 are my faves. rachylou on "Olive Swing Jacket" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-swing-jacket#post-2181941 Wed, 24 Mar 2021 16:03:41 +0000 rachylou 2181941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wonderful for spring!

I have a new mustard tote that I think would work well with the olive. A bright color bag would lighten things up for spring for sure. slim cat on "Olive Swing Jacket" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-swing-jacket#post-2181935 Wed, 24 Mar 2021 15:54:32 +0000 slim cat 2181935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ All outfits work very nicely. Personal preference for printed tops - love  #3 and #4! Adding colorful bag - blue, yellow, red or white?..
