With this outfit combo, though, and if you plan on keeping only one... than I vote for the blue version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets/page/2#post-945904 Fri, 31 May 2013 16:58:44 +0000 Archer 945904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Possibly too late but the second one looks the better to me. Wonder which one you bought. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets/page/2#post-944943 Thu, 30 May 2013 17:31:47 +0000 Peri 944943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have enough answers...that's didn't read to see which was in first place! But I like the blue one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets/page/2#post-944941 Thu, 30 May 2013 17:31:10 +0000 Anonymous 944941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Suz, the jacket is stunning, very modern looking in person and very versatile. I actually belted it closed with a wide studded belt and kept the rest of the outfit monocromatic, for a recent outing. I got so many compliments. </p> <p>and... Smiling at Angie, re. bootcuts:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets/page/2#post-944939 Thu, 30 May 2013 17:28:50 +0000 Diana 944939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blue for sure.&nbsp; The print on the white one looks ... I dunno, messy and dull somehow.&nbsp; (With florals, though, I always go with my gut.&nbsp; Either they speak to me or they don't.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets/page/2#post-944842 Thu, 30 May 2013 15:15:35 +0000 rae 944842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, so interesting to see Claire's comment about the prints! I spend a lot of time shopping secondhand, too - maybe that is coloring my opinion on the blue print. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets/page/2#post-944834 Thu, 30 May 2013 15:10:13 +0000 Suz 944834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Claire - I think the modern elements are really super clear in person. The cut of this jacket is anything but twee. It's a sort of loose tuxedo style with no closure and low stance. And I guess I still have a soft spot for retro elements at times....Shannon and I are soul-sisters on that score. It's tricky to find modern pieces that express that retro vibe, which may be one reason this appealed to me on the rack.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets/page/2#post-944824 Thu, 30 May 2013 15:04:20 +0000 Anonymous 944824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The quick answer is that I love the blue one on you. The cut is really good and the color suits you. And Angie loves it and says it's modern, so there it is!</p> <p>The more in depth answer is:&nbsp;I still see these prints as dated because I spend so much time in thrift stores and they are filled with them. I love the blue color on you, but I would want to make sure that you get "credit" for being modern and fashion forward, and that depends on your audience. Also keep in mind that IRL, the modern elements are probably much more recognizable than in a photo, so take all of this with a big grain of salt.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets/page/2#post-944804 Thu, 30 May 2013 14:44:55 +0000 Carole 944804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the blue as well, so fun and seems like it will work so nicely with your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets/page/2#post-944800 Thu, 30 May 2013 14:40:38 +0000 Suz 944800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, thank you, everybody!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I am not sure I am keeping either of these jackets; but I'm definitely not keeping the cream one. I love the pattern in theory, but I feel it is too small/ delicate -- too <i>something</i>, anyway...it just isn't quite right for me. The one on the blue jacket feels more in scale, somehow, and more "me." Plus, the colour is divine.&nbsp;</p> <p>Mr. Suz really likes the blue one, Angie. I was surprised, actually -- it is a bit of a "feminine" look for his usual taste. (I didn't think he would care for either, and he really disliked the cream one on me.)&nbsp;</p> <p>But there is something really quite lovely about the cut of this jacket IRL. It is really comfortable to wear -- Zap, do you agree? I like the way it sort of swings gently. It has this "unstructured structure" feel much more in person than it may look in the pics.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets/page/2#post-944775 Thu, 30 May 2013 14:22:35 +0000 Angie 944775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:)</p> <p>And I am about to reply to your bootcut comment on this mornings blog post, Zap. I LOVE that you have made them your signature look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets/page/2#post-944767 Thu, 30 May 2013 14:16:11 +0000 Anonymous 944767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*High fiving Angie back* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets/page/2#post-944765 Thu, 30 May 2013 14:10:54 +0000 Angie 944765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah! This is SO interesting!! Can opinions differ or what :)</p> <p>Suz, <b>I prefer the blue</b> by a billion percent. To my eye, the cabbage roses are more Retro-Chic (a la darling Shannon) and sophisticated - and therefore more Modern, if that makes sense. You know I love pinks, reds, oranges and white - but the white floral looks more juvenile next to the blue. And of course, I also love blue.</p> <p>High fiving Zap and bj1111!</p> <p>What does Mr. Suz think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets/page/2#post-944763 Thu, 30 May 2013 14:09:53 +0000 Anonymous 944763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like the vintagey look of the floral pattern in #2, go figure. I vote #2 but I am biased, since I own that blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets/page/2#post-944755 Thu, 30 May 2013 14:05:22 +0000 rae 944755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>parsley said exactly what I was thinking. Blue pattern looks like cabbage roses, which makes it look old fashion. love love love the cream one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets/page/2#post-944746 Thu, 30 May 2013 13:59:04 +0000 texstyle 944746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the blue as you look stunning in blue. The white seems a little&nbsp;less modern&nbsp;to my eye. It's probably just me, I know. White is probably more on trend but I'm stuck on blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets/page/2#post-944671 Thu, 30 May 2013 11:52:45 +0000 Mona 944671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the blue one. Blue is your colour, Suz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets/page/2#post-944667 Thu, 30 May 2013 11:47:22 +0000 Raisin 944667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tough choice! &nbsp;I think I would have to pick the blue one, if I <b>HAD</b> to pick. &nbsp;Both look great, though.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets/page/2#post-944662 Thu, 30 May 2013 11:36:38 +0000 Mochi 944662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like the second one a lot, but if you're only keeping one, first one hands down.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets#post-944650 Thu, 30 May 2013 11:08:19 +0000 krishnidoux 944650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First one by all means. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets#post-944537 Thu, 30 May 2013 03:35:31 +0000 Ginkgo 944537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colors in the cream jacket pick up the pink in your cheeks and lips beautifully, and I think it would give you more variety of outfits to pair it with during the summer, plus it looks like summer! &nbsp;And the cream jacket looks like a more modern cut.</p> <p>Or you could just keep both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets#post-944513 Thu, 30 May 2013 02:55:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 944513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me, the blue by a mile!!! Your complexion, eyes and hair look magnificent against blue and I love how the floral print is reminiscent of an Oriental fabric. &nbsp;</p> <p>Have you tried it on top of your blue sheath? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets#post-944508 Thu, 30 May 2013 02:41:04 +0000 Suz 944508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it probably doesn't really work with either jacket, Anna -- I was experimenting a bit. But also -- that top photographs horribly. It doesn't really look the way it does in the pics. So it might be a bit better IRL.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets#post-944500 Thu, 30 May 2013 02:33:59 +0000 annagybe 944500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm having a hard time judging because I really think the stripey shirt doesn't go with the first jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets#post-944480 Thu, 30 May 2013 02:01:47 +0000 Carla 944480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is kind of hard. Definitely the blue with the blue bag, so I covered up the bag with my hand. Still like the blue better, but there is something going on with the cream that makes your complexion rosy and fresh. I think I would like it better with a mint or blush T and a faded boyfriend jean. </p> <p>Good luck deciding! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets#post-944478 Thu, 30 May 2013 01:58:44 +0000 Sveta 944478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both! I think the blue one has oriental print as well and not an old-fashioned &nbsp;cabbage roses (the are chrysanthemums actually and quite pretty). I am really torn but if I have to choose (do I need to?) then maybe blue - because the pattern has bigger impact and you rock blues of all kinds!<br />This is a tough one, Suz! Which one makes you happier? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets#post-944471 Thu, 30 May 2013 01:52:27 +0000 MNsara 944471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not saying anything!&nbsp; I have a preference, but it's heavily tainted by my poison eye for florals.&nbsp; So, I'm eagerly awaiting Angie's take, and I'll use it to help train my (poison) eyes :-)</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets#post-944468 Thu, 30 May 2013 01:49:49 +0000 Suz 944468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Thank you so much everyone for humouring me with this little experiment. It is <b>SO</b> interesting how divided the opinions are. I have not yet decided to keep either, by the way. So more photos coming up in another post!!&nbsp; </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: I should probably have noted that it was a sunny day when I was wearing the cream, and miserably dark and cloudy when I took pics of the blue. So although the indoor lighting was the same, the overall ambient light is different. FWIW.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/side-by-side-2-jackets#post-944432 Thu, 30 May 2013 00:59:17 +0000 ClaraT 944432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Number 1 for me. So fresh. </p>
