I agree that it does feel a bit spring-summery, that's wehn I tend to wear mine the most, but on the other hand I am just now getting used to wearing much navy at all when it isn't spring or summer.</p> <p>I do love the look with your stripes.</p> <p>What if you changed out the buttons for darkish metal ones?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan--navy-blazer-wwhite-piping#post-1349140 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 14:09:23 +0000 Anonymous 1349140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie's styling:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/06/03/tipped-jackets-not-in-fashion-but-still-in-style/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2010/06/.....-in-style/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan--navy-blazer-wwhite-piping#post-1348988 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 04:20:28 +0000 rabbit 1348988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was looking at this fall trend slideshow, and one of the trends was what they called&nbsp;'military academy' &nbsp;and this jacket would fit right in. &nbsp; It's the first group of slides here:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.harpersbazaar.com/fashion/street-style/street-style-fall-2014-trends#slide-1">http://www.harpersbazaar.com/f.....ds#slide-1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan--navy-blazer-wwhite-piping#post-1348939 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 02:54:56 +0000 Zibbets 1348939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cute jacket! I love it with the red and blue stripes and jeans.<br />I'd try it right now over white jeans and a white shirt. You could do a turtleneck, blouse or tee, depending on your climate and what makes you happy. I'd play up the classic vibe with&nbsp;gold accents.</p> <p>Navy/white stripes and a denim pencil skirt&nbsp;would work&nbsp;too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan--navy-blazer-wwhite-piping#post-1348826 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 00:10:19 +0000 fuzzylogic 1348826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does fit you well!! Shame about the itch factor.<br /> Perhaps you are no longer into the strong nautical vibe?<br /> Such a great jacket-worth giving it another red-hot go before you ditch it, I think.<br /> I like the white tee idea, too! Maybe a dressy tee?<br /> I can see this with a flippy A-line skirt and pumps for smart casual.<br /> White capris or culottes?<br /> Skinnies and loafers or oxfords?<br /> Navy shorts to create a 'short suit'?<br /> Let us know how you go, MsMaven! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan--navy-blazer-wwhite-piping#post-1348797 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 23:09:20 +0000 MsMaven 1348797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More great ideas Anna! &nbsp;Thanks--I'm going to try the distressed jeans and my new dark gray&nbsp;skinnies and see how it looks! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan--navy-blazer-wwhite-piping#post-1348758 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 21:56:50 +0000 annagybe 1348758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leather leggings?<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://noscrubs.lookfab.com/post/wiw-1022-to-try-an-organic-restaurant">http://noscrubs.lookfab.com/po.....restaurant</a></p> <p>Distressed jeans?</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://noscrubs.lookfab.com/post/wiw-821-preppy-grunge-glam">http://noscrubs.lookfab.com/po.....runge-glam</a></p> <p>Faux fur and slouchy pants?<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/371758144211981529/">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/371758144211981529/</a> </p> <p>Skinnies, denim shirt and cognac boots?</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/292522938268028891/">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/292522938268028891/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan--navy-blazer-wwhite-piping#post-1348745 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 21:14:55 +0000 MsMaven 1348745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thimblelina--I don't own a white tee and haven't for years. &nbsp;I could try a simple cream top though--wonder if that would look funny with white piping.</p> <p>Ingunn--you've planted an idea in my head. &nbsp;I'll have to look in my sweater drawer. &nbsp;I'm thinking maybe even a cognac or mid-brown tee. &nbsp;And forest green too. &nbsp;I've mainly been thinking cool colors.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anchie--the white really throws me off. &nbsp;It just seems too much like spring, but I am getting some inspiration. &nbsp;If it were cotton I think I would have worn it more. </p> <p>Thistle--I have a lot of gray, so could do a column of gray, but don't really warm to that. &nbsp;I hadn't thought about other colors--I seem to have a lot of gray, black and navy right now. I keep thinking along stereotyped lines.&nbsp;It is still a couple of months too early to get out my cool-weather sweaters, although this summer we have had a lot of morning fog. &nbsp;I will have to get the energy to do some try-ons.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks all--you've got me thinking.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan--navy-blazer-wwhite-piping#post-1348737 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 20:45:56 +0000 Thistle 1348737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could you pop it over a column of color of your choosing? Say, deep red? Or any color really. Navy is a lovely neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan--navy-blazer-wwhite-piping#post-1348726 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 20:23:56 +0000 anchie 1348726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have very similar jacket and even it is cotton and not heavy and scratchy I also don't know how to style it and I wore it only once this summer. Maybe also not really my style? Will follow this thread for inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan--navy-blazer-wwhite-piping#post-1348714 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 20:08:36 +0000 Ingunn 1348714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could always try warming it up with something in cognac like a belt or a bag, or pair it with forest green or dark red tops. I like it the way you wear it in the last picture. Add a silk scarf if you like to prevent the itching. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan--navy-blazer-wwhite-piping#post-1348701 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 19:58:18 +0000 thimblelina 1348701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about a plain white tee? I love a jacket + plain white tee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan--navy-blazer-wwhite-piping#post-1348694 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 19:53:13 +0000 MsMaven 1348694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this navy blazer at January sales 1 1/2 years ago at BR. It's 75% wool knit and I like the way it fitted me. &nbsp;I wore it a few times in the spring, (but lost any photos when laptop crashed) and then didn't wear it again. &nbsp;I get it out, try it with an outfit, then hang it back up. &nbsp;It's too warm to wear from April-November, it seems spring-like, not winter or autumn, and the wool itches my neck if I don't have a high neck or scarf with it. I don't do well with a collared shirt and collared jacket--effect is turtle-like.</p> <p>The manikin in the BR store showed it with a pastel plaid shirt, with a light colored V-neck over it. &nbsp;This isn't a look I'd ever wear.</p> <p>Maybe it just isn't me--or reminds me too much of pre-hippie college era? &nbsp;Ideas anyone? &nbsp;Or should I just donate it? &nbsp;I have plenty of jackets and don't need this one.</p> <p>Only photo I have with me wearing it last year.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
