Price was right and if it ends up being a hit, I may consider another. I know it's not traditional in terms of a button front, but I still think it will suit my style and my wardrobe.</p> <p>Lisa--am loving the J. Crew blazer. I'm tall and so was worried about the "shrunken schoolboy" fit but I ordered my normal blazer size and it was fine--roomy through the shoulders with a nipped in waist. And nice and soft too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-colorful-blazers#post-294717 Wed, 09 Feb 2011 02:23:31 +0000 Lisa 294717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been eyeing that JCrew blazer, curious to see how it turns out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-colorful-blazers#post-294674 Wed, 09 Feb 2011 01:55:34 +0000 taylor 294674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are both super cute...are you going with navy on both? The first<br /> Boden jacket comes in several colors, might be fun to order a couple!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-colorful-blazers#post-294628 Wed, 09 Feb 2011 00:35:42 +0000 Auburn 294628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ended up ordering this red jacket that was on sale at Boden...has yet to arrive and I'm not very familiar with their sizing so this was a bit of a shot in the dark, but I love the color:<br /> <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Clearance/Womens-Coats-Jackets/Jackets/WE265/Womens-Soho-Jacket.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/.....acket.html</a></p> <p>I also picked up J. Crew's new shrunken schoolboy blazer. It's navy which doesn't really satisfy my urge for color but it's such a classic profile that I felt like it would be a good addition to my closet for years to come. I can't wait to pear it with jeans for casual Fridays at the office!<br /> <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/blazers/schoolboy/PRDOVR~28233/28233.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_ca...../28233.jsp</a></p> <p>Pics to follow, I promise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-colorful-blazers#post-292085 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 02:30:19 +0000 taylor 292085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so bad at waiting...:( I will wait and watch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-colorful-blazers#post-292069 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 02:14:33 +0000 MsMaven 292069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm tired of neutral jackets and am looking for a blazer in a pretty color too.

Now will have to determine how their sizing works... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-colorful-blazers#post-291888 Thu, 03 Feb 2011 19:53:07 +0000 RoseandJoan 291888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I think of colour I think of Boden, I really like this bright blue blazer<br /> <a href="http://www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Womens-Coats-Jackets/Jackets/WE290/Womens-Sleek-Cotton-Blazer.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/W.....lazer.html</a><br /> and this is cute in pink<br /> <a href="http://www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Womens-Coats-Jackets/Jackets/WE288/Womens-Laundered-Blazer.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/W.....lazer.html</a><br /> I have my eye on a grass green jacket but it's not a blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-colorful-blazers#post-291885 Thu, 03 Feb 2011 19:49:46 +0000 Marley 291885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't see any, but I will be watching this thread closely, because I'm ready for one also (once I'm done with SYC!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-colorful-blazers#post-291865 Thu, 03 Feb 2011 19:06:51 +0000 Velma 291865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Re: preppy: have you checked out LL Bean's blazers? I was thinking about getting one of these in green for spring:<br /> <a href="http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/63837?feat=612-GN1" rel="nofollow">http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/63837?feat=612-GN1</a><br /> I find Bean runs large, and I often have to size down further if I want a more fitted look. You might also look into Bean's signature line. </p> <p>I'm with you, by the way--I am tired of dreary longer jackets and ready for some color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-colorful-blazers#post-291853 Thu, 03 Feb 2011 18:54:46 +0000 Auburn 291853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karli's recent post about that red Sart jacket was well-timed because I too have been on the hunt for some brightly colored blazers to liven up my wardrobe. I'm SO over the sharp-shouldered, long drapey blazers in grey, black, mushroom and charcoal. I'm ready for a shot of prep and am imagining wearing dark jeans with a basic white long-sleeve tee or button down and a bright colored, fitted blazer (in citron yellow, bright pink, cobalt blue, lime green or tomato red) with fun booties and jewelry. I can't tell you how many sites and stores I've checked recently and am coming up with nothing...<br /> J. Crew's most exciting blazer right now is a navy schoolboy and I'm considering it just because the fit looks right and the color is timeless.<br /> Am I overlooking some good resources for this specific want/need? </p>
