Where IS such a blazer?! Drat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer/page/2#post-796306 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:29:18 +0000 Lisa 796306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like outfits 1 and 2. Outfit 3, that blazer is lovely but I think something with more edge (ragged edging, metal studs, a zigzag silohuette) is more your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer/page/2#post-796288 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:15:32 +0000 cciele 796288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your original outfit without the cardi, for sure. I can see where your current style would call for a structured jacket on top.</p> <p>Lukewarm on the plaid. I'm sure you could make it UWP, but I think it would take more effort than perhaps it would be worth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer/page/2#post-796163 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 17:36:43 +0000 Anonymous 796163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I can see your beef with the cardi, you look fab though!<br /> Loving the rest of the lot. That equipment sweater is the best thing after sliced bread!<br /> As far as the plaid jacket, dang it, I would be all over it if the green stripes were cut vertically. Diana has a great point. We like British preppy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer/page/2#post-796129 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 17:16:09 +0000 catgirl 796129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that blazer, Diana! If I wore that color I'd be all over it. </p> <p>You are onto something with the prep thing - maybe this needs to be more shrunken or have some built-in edge to it. Have time to play this morning so will be experimenting to see if I can come up with three outfits that make me happy.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer#post-796120 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 17:11:22 +0000 Diana 796120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I much prefer the style of the one Anne linked. </p> <p>Not black watch, but I just ordered this to try:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/max-mia-plaid-riding-blazer/3429280?origin=keywordsearch&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ma.....sultback=0</a></p> <p>Will let you know what I think when it arrives! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer#post-796111 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 17:00:52 +0000 Anonymous 796111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, look at this one.

A jacket would have been much better. I have definitely had a similar shift in my own closet where I don't ever wear my plain fitted cardigans any more (I do still wear the weirder, handknit, funky ones). Love the purple color of the other outfit on you too!</p> <p>Re: the plaid academy blazer. I had considered this one for myself too but ultimately decided not to get it because it just felt too "American preppy" to me as opposed to "British preppy". Maybe this is just a distinction in my own head, but to me British preppy would be more riding jacket style with curved hems and maybe leather elbow patches, you know? Like, you know, English country estate not CT estate. =P </p> <p>Anyway, that was a rather long winded way of saying that I don't think the style/vibe of the jacket is for you. It would be hard to un-prep it IMO. I do love Black Watch plaid though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer#post-796014 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 15:42:10 +0000 cinnamon fern 796014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually really like the cardigan and think it's preppy rather than frumpy. But it doesn't work with the rest of the outfit. I have a thing against mixing different shades of black and a thing against cardigans over button-down shirts.</p> <p>Not sure about the blazer. How's the fabric quality? It manages to look both stiff and rumpled in this picture. Would you even consider keeping it if it cost say 300 rather than 60? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer#post-795981 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 14:47:57 +0000 Suz 795981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the blazer and think it's made for pattern mixing and weekend funk. Can be worn in the week, too, in certain situations. But then I have the preppy boy gene, too, and love Black Watch. </p> <p>As for outfit 1, thank you for posting it. It is great to know that everyone, even YLF royalty, can have an off day. The outfit is great without the sweater....the problem is the sweater, not the outfit! And not you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer#post-795972 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 14:39:57 +0000 Preppy Pear 795972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That snake print blouse thrills me every time I see it on you...I'm so glad you got it! I agree with Deborah and Shannon about the blazer, though. There's just something about it that resists "funking," I think, even though it's got the on-trend boxy shape and you have it paired with those fantastic slouchy pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer#post-795962 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 14:31:26 +0000 Transcona Shannon 795962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see what you mean about the cardi Una - it's just not your thing that's all. The outfit looks fine though, although definitely better without the cardi so more of the shirt shows. Would look fab with your Theory blazer though.</p> <p>LOVE that second outfit! Good grief that purple colour is amazing on you. And I'm with Denise - your legs look fantastic in those grey skinnies.</p> <p>I like the Gap blazer and have actually been thinking of trying it myself. I like it on you...but I hesitate that you may end up orphaning it because it's not exactly your style. My suggestion would be to try a few outfits with UWP influence (the Gidigio boots, the leather skinnies,etc.) and see how it works for you before making a decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer#post-795914 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 13:05:03 +0000 sarah 795914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I haven't posted it yet. I'll try to over the weekend. I was thinking, tho, that since you don't wear button downs, it might be a problem. I wear mine with my BF jeans which takes care of the preppiness factor, in my mind, but I do wear it over button downs... hmmm... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer#post-795825 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 08:28:18 +0000 CocoLion 795825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I like the blazer, it has pattern mixing potential and the boxy fit is modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer#post-795824 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 08:27:08 +0000 CocoLion 795824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the slouchy outfit with the cardi in #1. Your loose pants are perfect ! and the blouse dresses up the outfit. I wish my thighs looked that good in light colored skinny jeans. Would someone please tell me to stop eating Christmas cookies...holiday M&amp;Ms .... mini cheesecakes ... blueberry bars.</p> <p>YES. All of these were consumed at a party tonight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer#post-795811 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 07:27:26 +0000 christieanne 795811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blazer as a tongue in cheek thing - it's UWP but in this case the P stands for Prep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer#post-795769 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 04:58:39 +0000 Asingh 795769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit no. 3 looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer#post-795760 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 04:45:58 +0000 Deborah 795760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una it's a great blazer but I just don't think it's your style. I equate your style with edge and to my eye this is not an edgy piece, it reads a little more preppy (I think) to me. My general feeling is that this going to take a reasonable amount of effort to style and it may not be worth the effort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer#post-795753 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 04:32:01 +0000 Anonymous 795753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh!

I think the outfit is awesome sans sweater. You just learned something new! Love the magenta sweater and love the blazer! I wear my plaid Target one all the time too. I like to edge it up with fun footwear. I usually just wear a striped tee under it--preferably one that isn't too matchy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer#post-795726 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 04:14:39 +0000 catgirl 795726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, what's your poison eye? </p> <p>Sarah, hesitating on whether it's my style - have I seen it on you? Worried it will be a struggle for me somehow as too conservative, although I LOVE the cut and fabric. Or will it meet the cute preppy schoolboy vibe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer#post-795725 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 04:12:52 +0000 catgirl 795725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, I just threw it on. I am trying to think how to funk it up. I have had this problem with conservative blazers before (the purple j. crew hacking blazer) but the plaid speaks to me somehow. Any ideas? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/todays-outfit-yesterdays-outfit-and-kr-gap-plaid-blazer#post-795724 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 04:12:32 +0000 Mo 795724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not so sure on the blazer, but it could be my poison eye. LOVE outfit #3! </p>
