So conditional (on comfort) yay from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-buy-or-not-to-buy-4#post-565113 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 19:43:38 +0000 Jem 565113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That was a great find! I'm glad you were able to go get it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-buy-or-not-to-buy-4#post-565112 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 19:41:47 +0000 Evie 565112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies for your opinions and suggestions. The jacket is now in my closet. I have a feeling it will be getting a lot of action soon. Yay!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-buy-or-not-to-buy-4#post-564123 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 14:02:57 +0000 Jjsloane 564123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another yay from me. You can wear this 1,000 ways and for years to come. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-buy-or-not-to-buy-4#post-564118 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 13:32:28 +0000 cinnamon fern 564118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that it's a lovely jacket! I hope you can go back for it. Especially if it's final sale, I would open the vent and make sure the back sits right before you buy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-buy-or-not-to-buy-4#post-564003 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 05:35:57 +0000 MsMary 564003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's great! I love a bracelet-length sleeve, and I wear my white blazer ALL THE TIME in the summer and I bet you will, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-buy-or-not-to-buy-4#post-563949 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 03:56:54 +0000 ManidipaM 563949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a fabulous fit, I think, especially as you don't feel the need to button it! LOVE that fabrication, and you wear white really well. Seersucker instantly reads 'summer'. Go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-buy-or-not-to-buy-4#post-563913 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 02:46:07 +0000 taylor 563913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Theory runs slim...perfect for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-buy-or-not-to-buy-4#post-563902 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 02:37:17 +0000 Beth Ann 563902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love seersucker. It says summer and, since it's already puckered, it resists wrinkling. I say go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-buy-or-not-to-buy-4#post-563883 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 02:18:58 +0000 Angie 563883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More thumbs up from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-buy-or-not-to-buy-4#post-563878 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 02:15:41 +0000 Jenava 563878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, it's GREAT! That's a bracelet sleeve, I think, and OK to be that length, especially in the summery seersucker fabric. Is it belted in the back? Even cuter, if so!</p> <p>Since you'll mainly wear this in summer I think it's the perfect blazer for you. I could see it with jeans but also with a bright or printed sheath dress and sandals, or a flippy skirt and flats.</p> <p>I think a size up might be too big. To my eye it fits well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-buy-or-not-to-buy-4#post-563868 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 02:02:22 +0000 Isis 563868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-buy-or-not-to-buy-4#post-563850 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 01:46:28 +0000 Debora 563850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Evie! What a great deal and it looks like it could be a summer workhorse for you. The fit looks good to me, and it looks like you could roll or scrunch the sleeves for added appeal. Great find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-buy-or-not-to-buy-4#post-563835 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 01:37:41 +0000 sarah 563835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Evie, it's nice to see you! I think the blazer looks lovely. I actually like that sleeve length on you, but if you don't, scrunching will solve the problem. As long as it doesn't pull across the back when you move your arms around, it seems like the fit is perfect. It doesn't look too small at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-buy-or-not-to-buy-4#post-563787 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 01:13:00 +0000 Evie 563787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It fastens fine, but I never wear my blazers closed so have not tried moving around in it that way. </p> <p>Of course, arms above my head does not put the blazer in its best light even when open, since the fit is snug, but normal movements such as extending arms up front and to the sides are not impaired. </p> <p>Thanks for the tip to scrunch the sleeves, I think I will go back and try it that way before making final decision. And I'm not sure if it is seersucker, but the fabric alternates between more opaque and transparent stripes in a scrunched up fabric. Quite lovely with a very lightweight feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-buy-or-not-to-buy-4#post-563774 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 01:04:38 +0000 Sarah A 563774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the close up on the fabric looks like a searsucker? Very pretty... I would think you could scrunch the sleeves in summer with no worries for the length. Definitely check for range of motion in the arms, I have a jacket where I didn't and regretfully never wore it because I couldn't lift my arms to drive, type etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-buy-or-not-to-buy-4#post-563755 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 00:54:20 +0000 Suz 563755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good! For the sleeves, scrunching them a little will help. I don't believe it is too small. Check the shoulders. Did you try it done up? How is it across the chest? Can you move your arms comfortably? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-buy-or-not-to-buy-4#post-563752 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 00:49:59 +0000 Evie 563752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was shopping for a friend's baby shower in an outlet store and (accidentally, of course......) stumbled upon this white blazer from Theory, priced down from $365 to $88.</p> <p>Love it, but not sure if the cropped sleeves look awkward to other eyes.<br /> Also, does it seem too small? It is really snug and "hugging" but still comfortable.<br /> The weird bunching in the back is due to slit being still sewn together, but you can see how tight it looks.</p> <p>I would wear it in spring/summer with jeans and dresses. But I only want to get it if it really looks good and flattering, because I am trying to be very selective with new additions to my wardrobe. This would be the very first white blazer I own, and probably the only white one in the foreseeable future. Should I get it (if it's still there) or should I keep looking? I would really appreciate your input </p>
