If you liked how it looked then you probably found one of the good ones that makes us look strong, but not like a football player. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/strong-shouldered-velvet-blazer-can-i-wear-it#post-271213 Tue, 28 Dec 2010 05:10:02 +0000 taylor 271213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE velvet jackets , particularly with denim...you must get! I bet you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/strong-shouldered-velvet-blazer-can-i-wear-it#post-271212 Tue, 28 Dec 2010 05:08:05 +0000 wilson 271212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to see some keep or return photos, especially because you felt like it was flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/strong-shouldered-velvet-blazer-can-i-wear-it#post-271174 Tue, 28 Dec 2010 03:00:52 +0000 JayS 271174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you like it, go for it. I also have a strong shoulder line. Today at Anthro, I tried on a cute jacket with pleated sleeves..deep discount or I would never have tried it. The sleeves were set in in a way that balanced my shoulders..total surprise. Learned that you have to try it. Some may work.<br /> Love the velvet jacket, btw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/strong-shouldered-velvet-blazer-can-i-wear-it#post-271110 Mon, 27 Dec 2010 23:10:44 +0000 MNsara 271110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jacket and I'm glad you're going to try it. </p> <p>Just maybe its strong-shoulders accomodate your IT perfectly - as opposed to it creating a strong shoulder line on someone who doesn't have one. . . ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/strong-shouldered-velvet-blazer-can-i-wear-it#post-271095 Mon, 27 Dec 2010 22:28:34 +0000 MsMary 271095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep! Bring 'em on!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/strong-shouldered-velvet-blazer-can-i-wear-it#post-271083 Mon, 27 Dec 2010 21:56:15 +0000 Jenava 271083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/strong-shouldered-velvet-blazer-can-i-wear-it#post-271072 Mon, 27 Dec 2010 21:39:09 +0000 catgirl 271072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeneva and Maya, I fully expected it to make me cringe, but I tried it on for fun and was amazed at how flattering it actually was. I'm not that horrified by my shoulders anyway. This cut doesn't seem to have the same widening effect as the puffy sleeves. I guess the best way to know is to post some "Keep or return" photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/strong-shouldered-velvet-blazer-can-i-wear-it#post-271070 Mon, 27 Dec 2010 21:36:52 +0000 Maya 271070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Jenava said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/strong-shouldered-velvet-blazer-can-i-wear-it#post-271067 Mon, 27 Dec 2010 21:33:52 +0000 Jenava 271067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm assuming that by "fits you nicely" you mean it doesn't make you cringe when you look in the mirror. Personally, if I were you, I'd snap it up in a heart beat! I think it's awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/strong-shouldered-velvet-blazer-can-i-wear-it#post-271066 Mon, 27 Dec 2010 21:27:15 +0000 LeahJanes 271066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it fits you right, I think it will be great. I have a soft spot for velvet blazers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/strong-shouldered-velvet-blazer-can-i-wear-it#post-271058 Mon, 27 Dec 2010 21:20:57 +0000 catgirl 271058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I took my mom to Nordie's to buy a sweater the other day, and was SORELY tempted by this velvet blazer which fit me perfectly in the petite section:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3126295?origin=keywordsearch&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/31.....sultback=0</a></p> <p>As an IT, I would normally avoid this shape, but it fit so nicely. What do you all think? Along the lines of Maya's post, do we have to dress to balance our shape?</p> <p>I have already been mildly SYC and not bought anything recently... </p>
