Would you mind sharing what brand and colour that is?

Robin, it really is comfortable. But keep in mind, I'm a jacket person through and through. Angie said when I was trying them on during NAS, something like, "Wow, jackets really do love you!" And that's exactly what a sales associate said yesterday as well. It's just one of those items that is quite easy for me to fit and then I feel great in. But linen wool blend is quite magical. Extremely cool and breathable, like wearing a blouse, really. But with more structure.  RobinF on "The Long Short of It" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-long-short-of-it#post-2058303 Thu, 05 Sep 2019 20:40:29 +0000 RobinF 2058303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very nice! I'm more a sweater person than jacket but this looks so polished and comfortable that it could change my mind!

Summer jackets are really useful here most years - I like to have a couple of choices. This looks great on you and I can see the jacket working with lots of your pieces. I am going to do a post on summer toppers soon as I have a couple I am no longer sure about. rachylou on "The Long Short of It" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-long-short-of-it#post-2058284 Thu, 05 Sep 2019 19:37:57 +0000 rachylou 2058284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Excellent!

And of course I'm a fan of the shorts. ;-)  I'm just the opposite -- had to give away a couple of summer weight jackets because they are of so little use to me. Yesterday it was over 90, but today it's feeling a bit more seasonal -- YAY!  Firecracker (Sharan) on "The Long Short of It" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-long-short-of-it#post-2058249 Thu, 05 Sep 2019 16:28:10 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2058249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow!

Wave to Jaime. Long blazers are EVERYWHERE and a big trend. I like seeing this cheeky short Paul Smith in the mix :)  Sara L. on "The Long Short of It" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-long-short-of-it#post-2058239 Thu, 05 Sep 2019 16:17:47 +0000 Sara L. 2058239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nice!  I love it with the long shorts and sandals.  The burgundy bag is a fun contrast to the outfit colors. Suz on "The Long Short of It" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-long-short-of-it#post-2058237 Thu, 05 Sep 2019 16:15:55 +0000 Suz 2058237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Okay, first I need to sing the praises of my Paul Smith jacket. Best $45 I spent this summer. Wow, what a find. You know when you vaguely think you *might* be able to use a particular item (in my case, a true summer weight jacket) but you put purchasing because you're not really sure you'd wear it as much as you imagine or it seems a bit indulgent (a jacket, for summer?) or you haven't really seen one you like? Well, I'd vaguely contemplated a nice summer jacket for years before I found this little beauty in my local consignment shop. At first I almost left it because it seemed the shoulder was off a bit -- but no, I was wrong. The fit's actually great. It works brilliantly with a sleeveless top and became an instant workhorse. I wore it on two long travel days and it came out with nary a wrinkle (it's a linen/ summer weight wool blend -- completely breathable).  Tried it with long shorts and sandals yesterday and really enjoyed the combination. Sorry for photo quality -- did my best. My only nod to fall was the burgundy bag. It was a gorgeous still-summery day here.
