It seems like with this variety of colors and fabrications you have all your bases covered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raining-blazers--hope-they-work#post-1478932 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 12:13:08 +0000 lyn67 1478932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, love the ALL!

I would love to try the BR one for myself...but they all look different and versatile. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raining-blazers--hope-they-work#post-1478748 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 01:37:11 +0000 Sara L. 1478748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes when it rains it pours. I've had this happen-i look for an item and find nothing and then it seems like I find it everywhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raining-blazers--hope-they-work#post-1478741 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 01:30:50 +0000 Anonymous 1478741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blazers seem to have great staying power and each of these is unique from the rest.<br /> This spring and last I've bought a plethora of summer shoes. Bare feet are hard on shoes and our summers go on forever. I have SIX Halogen seamed pencil skirts and don't have many opportunities to wear a skirt like that. I love the fit, the length ( after the hem is let out) and the fabric that can be worn year round, so don't regret buying them. I do regret not buying them in some other colors that were offered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raining-blazers--hope-they-work#post-1478733 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 01:11:34 +0000 Karie 1478733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love blazers - you can never have too many! You have some really nice ones here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raining-blazers--hope-they-work#post-1478727 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 01:06:34 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1478727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these. Sometimes there will be years when the prevailing look for a piece is exactly right for you, and then you might go a few without finding something exactly right. So it's just as well not to hesitate. Were you tempted by. Any matching suit pants options? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raining-blazers--hope-they-work#post-1478697 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 00:00:58 +0000 Ledonna N. 1478697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same issues with vest I feel to restricted in blazers. I feel as if a good vest will pull a outfit together. But I understand where you are comming from. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raining-blazers--hope-they-work#post-1478685 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 23:47:38 +0000 rachylou 1478685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I added an array of suits two X-mas's ago. I'm not wearing them as suits right now - but I'm really glad I did it. Am getting plenty of use out of them and it's not too easy finding a suit / suit jacket. Haven't seen a thing since. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raining-blazers--hope-they-work#post-1478659 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 22:47:38 +0000 unfrumped 1478659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, happy enabling.<br />Yes, I told myself the fabrications were the key. I am&nbsp;pretty &nbsp;fabric-oriented thanks&nbsp;to my dear Mom, &nbsp;and get a lot of my enjoyment from interesting fabrics and blends. The Lauren is a very pale gray--<u>almost </u>too light for my coloring but JFE and more so&nbsp;than &nbsp;white, and I would not wear a white blazer to work. I think I can use it with spring and summer dresses in&nbsp; air-conditioning, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raining-blazers--hope-they-work#post-1478656 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 22:39:51 +0000 Sveta 1478656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One cannot have too many great blazers - especially if they are needed for work.<br />I think I have the same BR blazer but in navy and love it. Lightweight and pretty wrinkle resistant - travels well too. Other blazers look great too.<br />Not sure if I ever added "arrays" of anything at once. Yours seem to be of differnet fabrications so they can work in&nbsp;different seasons - which &nbsp;is a good thing!<br />I covet the silk white blazer now...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raining-blazers--hope-they-work#post-1478646 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 22:26:06 +0000 unfrumped 1478646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For a long time I have not had a blazer look that worked except for black, which is really getting rather harsh. Plain navy hasn't worked well with my items, and gray has been hard to find and I just have not managed the "one blazer to rule them all" find-- partly color, fabrication, and length (pants vs skirts).<br />In the past few months I really needed outfits that had professional-looking toppers and that are not black or too winter-only. After a long dry spell, I just happened to find several blazers and jackets that work. None work with <u>everything,&nbsp;</u> but each one works with several skirts or trousers, though there might be a few "best" combos because I am picky about lengths and styles of top + bottom. Each one actually works with black bottoms, which is important.</p> <p>Photo: Johnston &amp; Murphy cotton stripe (found in airport shop!)<br />BR gray tropical wool, Lauren light gray silk, AT navy tweed with black trim ( not a blazer obviously, but this&nbsp;fabrication works really well with black and is less harsh than dark navy).</p> <p>I didn't set out to add so many at once--; the J&amp;M and light gray were hard to pass up because&nbsp;the fabrications, cotton blend and silk blend, are less common, as are the colors. I hope they all work out and I don't have blazer overload/regret, because I don't wear one every day, even. This was definitely a "scarcity mentality" situation where I felt&nbsp;I might not find similar, later so may be all in my head!<br />&nbsp;Style-wise I still like a non-blazer jacket such as refined safari or such, but these have been hard to find in the right colors or styles.</p> <p>Have you encountered some kind of streak where you add an array of items&nbsp;that are outfit-creators, &nbsp;but&nbsp; you wonder if they'll get enough use? </p>
