All my pieces have done well - the jacket looks like&nbsp;good enough quality for sure. Generally better quality than Zara, I've found. Their stuff - like Zara - is a good fit on me, so I'm always looking at their assortments. &nbsp;I love their fashion forward integrity. Very fun, and worth a look. Without these retailers - and the Gap - I would not be able to achieve the low aspect of my high-low style. They serve an important function. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-long-blazer-shoppers#post-1426343 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 16:19:29 +0000 merwoman 1426343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous jacket Gryffin, and I love your description of how you will wear it :-)!</p> <p>Thanks for sharing.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-long-blazer-shoppers#post-1426273 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 13:48:32 +0000 gryffin 1426273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fuzzy that would look awesome on you!!&nbsp; I hope you take pictures of that outfit!!&nbsp; Wishing you a fab event to wear it to soon!!&nbsp; But what I like about this look is it can be dressed tup for very dress or morph into nice dress for dinner out.&nbsp; So fun!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-long-blazer-shoppers#post-1426164 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 03:28:18 +0000 fuzzylogic 1426164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent suggestion, gryffin!!!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a long jacket with a tuxedo vibe and tails that would work nicely with black leather leggings, a black be-jewelled&nbsp;halter and pumps!&nbsp;I&nbsp;am definitely going to put this together when the weather cools a little (tops of&nbsp;27-35C predicted for this week). &nbsp;Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-long-blazer-shoppers#post-1426132 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 02:02:44 +0000 gryffin 1426132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro - thank you and yes it is!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-long-blazer-shoppers#post-1426130 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 01:58:27 +0000 Caro in Oz 1426130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done - finding signature items&nbsp;is the best </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-long-blazer-shoppers#post-1426129 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 01:52:41 +0000 gryffin 1426129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fuzzy - I could see you in that!

It's cute but unlined and the window pane is all mismatched. At this point, in general, I'm trying for buy less but buy better. I'd love a really well made jacket of that ilk in window pane or glen plaid. Ah a girl can dream!! Can't complain the theory is a major hewi and I just bought the Louise pants so I have a suit!! Now if the Golda skirt fits that would be incredible!! Fingers crossed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-long-blazer-shoppers#post-1426126 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 01:46:27 +0000 fuzzylogic 1426126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yeah!

And what a good feeling to have found it.&nbsp;I love the idea of the windowpane one as well but know what you mean about Topshop quality. Still, for a fun piece it could be a good addition.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-long-blazer-shoppers#post-1426119 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 01:33:21 +0000 gryffin 1426119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crutcher - so glad this worked out for you!! Definitely major score!<br /> Vicki. - thank you!! You are smart to know yourself and what you need. Nothing worse than a thing of beauty not enjoyed!<br /> Angie - ooh thanks for the heads up. I am always leery of Topshop quality wise. Do you have good luck with the brand? Nice jacket and would definitely work well with my closet<br /> Tanya - thank you. I am so excited about this jacket. I'm doing the happy dance!<br /> Fuzzy - hey sometimes you get lucky!! Le smoking is exactly one of the ways I envision this - but le smoking a la gryffin - black jacquard lace edge tank, buttoned jacket, black leather leggings with ankle zips, sw yola platform suede booties, pearl and crystal clutch and a whole lotta attitude! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-long-blazer-shoppers#post-1426111 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 01:20:47 +0000 fuzzylogic 1426111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh, nice! &nbsp;Will you create 'le smoking' with this kind of jacket, gryffin?? &nbsp;And what a frugal shopper you are!!! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-long-blazer-shoppers#post-1426073 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 00:08:06 +0000 Tanya 1426073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a lovely blazer.&nbsp; Enjoy it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-long-blazer-shoppers#post-1426064 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 00:00:56 +0000 Angie 1426064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gryffin, I thought of you when I saw this Topshop '90s blazer in store yesterday.</p> <p>I'm glad you're happy with your new piece. Rock it, sister. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-long-blazer-shoppers#post-1425943 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 20:59:16 +0000 Vicki 1425943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful&nbsp;reconnaissance, gryffin, and you described it beautifully. &nbsp;I just wish I needed one, because Theory, as you say, has a&nbsp;refined quality. &nbsp;I think Una, Sveta and Janet will love this, too. &nbsp;As for those flap pockets, can they be tucked for another look of refinement?</p> <p>Good work and I hope you enjoy yours with the leather leggings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-long-blazer-shoppers#post-1425931 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 20:48:39 +0000 crutcher 1425931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After reading your post, I happened to be in a mall with a Saks Off Fifth and remembering your shopping suggestion, I had to look...Well...let me tell you, I scored a beautiful jacket, just the correct size and style...I wouldn't have looked without your prompting, so many thanks...merci...and keep up the good work... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-long-blazer-shoppers#post-1421648 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 19:59:36 +0000 gryffin 1421648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta - it's 29" from collar to hem.&nbsp; Below butt length on me.&nbsp; It feels longer on, finger length is 33"&nbsp;on me&nbsp;- I would guesstimate it feels like 31" but I also have zero chest to take up space - I also like blazers roomy.&nbsp; I'm sure I could have fit in the size 6 but I like to get a sweater underneath - not heavy but you get the drift.&nbsp; I like layers.&nbsp; I think the 12 would work if you are an 8-10.&nbsp; But I'd ask Angie - she probably would be able to tell you if it's worth a shot!!&nbsp; Good luck and happy hunting!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-long-blazer-shoppers#post-1421645 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 19:54:03 +0000 Sveta 1421645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I like it in navy! Need to check if 27" is long for me though...although it may be a moot point anyway if they run as small as you say: I would be definitely sized out! I am usually 8-10 so based on your experience 12 may be too small?!<br />Gryffin, you are a Queen of Long Blazers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-long-blazer-shoppers#post-1421637 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 19:45:54 +0000 gryffin 1421637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an fyi for others that have expressed an interest in long blazers (Una, Sveta, Janet).&nbsp; I just needed to upgrade my old AT boyfriend blazer and ordered the Theory Selata Urban from saks off fifth online which has it listed at $211.49 down from the original $435.&nbsp; I had an additional free ship (still available) and it must have been about another 15% off and paid about $168.&nbsp; Well it's fabulous!!&nbsp; Low stance but two button translates can be worn closed (plan is over leather leggings) or skort shirt, or open.&nbsp; It lists as 27" but it's 29" from neck to hem.&nbsp; The body is roomy and slightly boxy (which was what I was looking for) but in the usual refined Theory way.&nbsp; Be warned it has two flap pockets right over the hip area - not a problem for your basic rectangle but they are flap not slash pockets.&nbsp; Also like much a Theory it runs small - I am an AT size 2, usually a size 4, Helmut Lang size 6, and I took a size 8 to fit my shoulders.&nbsp; But it's a really nice jacket and I am thrilled to be able to replace my old beloved with something similiar, current and versatile.&nbsp; Worth a look if you are considering this style!!&nbsp; <a href="http://www.saksoff5th.com/selata-urban-blazer/0496947182129.html?site_refer=AFF001&amp;mid=38801&amp;siteID=J84DHJLQkR4-27eEqroah2HpWAT74hY9WQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.saksoff5th.com/sela.....38;siteID=</a>&nbsp;black limited sizes.&nbsp; Amazon they have it in the Uniform Navy Sveta!!&nbsp; But it's $326.25&nbsp; but it is navy!!&nbsp; <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HZD9PM4/ref=asc_df_B00HZD9PM43476141?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;creative=395093&amp;creativeASIN=B00HZD9PM4&amp;tag=wwwshopstylec-20&amp;ascsubtag=1227161397" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HZ.....0&#038;cre</a>&nbsp; Amazon also has it in gray!&nbsp; Anyway, just fyi!! </p>
