Wore it til it was full of holes -- great layering piece! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perfect-for-me-top-to-casualize-a-blazer-plus-a-new-bag/page/2#post-1968335 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 18:48:22 +0000 abc 1968335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE this. I wish my blazers would allow for layering underneath but most of them are quite tailored fit. I want to copy this if I can! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perfect-for-me-top-to-casualize-a-blazer-plus-a-new-bag/page/2#post-1968315 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 17:27:48 +0000 Kyle 1968315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great example of how to do a perfectly polished but casual look. This really suits you, too. I’m furiously taking notes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perfect-for-me-top-to-casualize-a-blazer-plus-a-new-bag/page/2#post-1968286 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 15:40:23 +0000 Angie 1968286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS look - works so well for your lifestyle, <b>Janet</b>. KILLER new bag too.</p> <p>The hoodie effectively relaxes the blazer, doesn't it. Perfect package timing indeed. And I'm nostalguc about the Boston BCBG blazer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perfect-for-me-top-to-casualize-a-blazer-plus-a-new-bag/page/2#post-1968277 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 15:19:04 +0000 Bijou 1968277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely gorgeous on you. Between you and Angie, a hoodie is now on my most coveted list...The orange bag is a great way to add colour too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perfect-for-me-top-to-casualize-a-blazer-plus-a-new-bag/page/2#post-1968226 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 13:05:29 +0000 Janet 1968226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Orange is such a happy-making color! I do have orange gear (and this bag is in my favorite baseball team’s colors), and an orange bike. So I work orange into my life when I can! A bag is a perfect way to do that. There is even a little bit of orange in the fordite ring I am wearing in this outfit, but that may be hard to see in the photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perfect-for-me-top-to-casualize-a-blazer-plus-a-new-bag#post-1968225 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 13:03:39 +0000 Anonymous 1968225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thats an Angie look! Maybe i should go hunt the plum one next time im near a tj maxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perfect-for-me-top-to-casualize-a-blazer-plus-a-new-bag#post-1968222 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 13:02:10 +0000 Eliza 1968222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great inspiration! I love the combo. Like some others, I have few hoodies apart from gear or loungewear. You have simultaneously elevated the hoodie and "casualized" the blazer. Total win in my book. </p> <p>I have similar coloring to you, like orange, and also accommodated that with a&nbsp; smallish bright orange bag. Every time I use it, it makes me happy. Enjoy. .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perfect-for-me-top-to-casualize-a-blazer-plus-a-new-bag#post-1968220 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 12:59:35 +0000 Cee 1968220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesomesauce, Janet ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perfect-for-me-top-to-casualize-a-blazer-plus-a-new-bag#post-1968217 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 12:53:49 +0000 Minah Lynn 1968217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blazer and the bag both work well. They look good in casual styling. I can't imagine myself wearing a hoodie, but you carried it so well. Would try a thinner one next time, too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perfect-for-me-top-to-casualize-a-blazer-plus-a-new-bag#post-1968216 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 12:51:15 +0000 Janet 1968216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! I was next door to a TJMaxx last night running an errand after dinner and I popped in to see if there were any thin hoodie pullovers there. I found a black one and a plum one that are possibilities, and TJM prices make it easy to try a casual look without a big investment. I didn’t try them on but brought them home to give them a try (it’s easy to return if they don’t work out, as I’m in that area a lot over the next couple of days). The plum is a nice color that I’ve wanted to add back into my wardrobe anyway. </p> <p>There was a really cute light gray one but it had mustard accents at the sleeve ends (with thumb holes which I love) and hem, and mustard is one color that looks like death on me, so I passed on that (mustard against the skin tone on my hands is yuck!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perfect-for-me-top-to-casualize-a-blazer-plus-a-new-bag#post-1968215 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 12:50:31 +0000 Aquamarine 1968215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I really like this.

Great way to casualize a blazer and also a great way to dress up a hoodie! I will be keeping my eye open for thin hoodies because blazers always feel too dressy for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perfect-for-me-top-to-casualize-a-blazer-plus-a-new-bag#post-1968200 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 12:11:29 +0000 Chris987 1968200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perfect-for-me-top-to-casualize-a-blazer-plus-a-new-bag#post-1968185 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 10:28:33 +0000 kkards 1968185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>perfect...just the right blend of structure....i've been looking for a lightweigh zip hoodie, but with no luck... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perfect-for-me-top-to-casualize-a-blazer-plus-a-new-bag#post-1968183 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 10:13:20 +0000 Staysfit 1968183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Jessikams, I would like to see a picture of how you pair your hoodies with a scarf? I have tried it before and found the scarf feeling and looking too bulky around my neck. Do you have a way to tie the scarf that manages the bulk? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perfect-for-me-top-to-casualize-a-blazer-plus-a-new-bag#post-1968182 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 10:05:50 +0000 Mainelady 1968182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea! I think the hoodie with the blazer looks casual, yet chic. Love the orange striped bag and hope you find many opportunities to use it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perfect-for-me-top-to-casualize-a-blazer-plus-a-new-bag#post-1968173 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 09:31:49 +0000 Anonymous 1968173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the hoodie and blazer. &nbsp;<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perfect-for-me-top-to-casualize-a-blazer-plus-a-new-bag#post-1968153 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 06:59:57 +0000 Jane 1968153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a fab look!

I really like this on you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perfect-for-me-top-to-casualize-a-blazer-plus-a-new-bag#post-1968129 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 03:12:13 +0000 Janet 1968129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jessi, I do a loose version of one-in/one-out. Since I just got rid of five or six old handbags (mostly clutches), there was room for this. Now, if I could be so disciplined with my scarf collection...</p> <p>I actually think the light grey hoodie tee I wore in the afternoon looked better than this — the slate blue-gray of this top is pretty subdued, and the lighter grey did a nice job of adding some contrast. I will keep my eye out for another long sleeve lightweight pullover hoodie — maybe even two, one in black and one in a color. I have a couple of velvet blazers that I think would be fun with a really simple hoodie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-perfect-for-me-top-to-casualize-a-blazer-plus-a-new-bag#post-1968120 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 02:54:59 +0000 Anonymous 1968120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore this look twice this past week - love your version - and great bag !!

What do you do when you stumble across a great find like that purse?<br /> I seem to find accessories that I love when I least expect them- but then storage becomes an issue.... </p>
