Much like Una's disappointing real life run in with her London Fog anorak, I stumbled across a real pic on ebay of the jacket. Being cotton and white, it shows wrinkles like crazy. I am not one to iron, so the crumpled look would negate any dressy vibe I would hope to achieve.

I agree that the black velvet trim breaks it up a bit and makes it more 'wearable'. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-similar-tux-jacket#post-314703 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 19:21:22 +0000 TravellingTam 314703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! If it had white lapels you would look like Mr. Rourke.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-similar-tux-jacket#post-314702 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 19:21:17 +0000 Mo 314702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I suppose I figured on wearing it with jeans and a solid top, or with my black satin pants or red velvet trousers for a dressier look. Oh, and it could go over my black strapless dress! And my pink/black/white sweaterdress tunic. Okay, I think it's versatile enough for me :)<br /> Thanks for helping me walk myself through this. Now to justify breaking into NEXT month's budget before I even finish atoning for pre-spending this month's! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-similar-tux-jacket#post-314687 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 18:51:25 +0000 Isis 314687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not similar, but I agree with the others that it might be difficult to wear---but wasn't it your philosophy to find things to pair with a new purchase? If you can create 5 new outfits go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-similar-tux-jacket#post-314675 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 18:37:43 +0000 Marley 314675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both of these and don't think you be making a "repeat mistake" by buying the white one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-similar-tux-jacket#post-314668 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 18:23:45 +0000 catgirl 314668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see a problem with repeats but I'm not loving the black lapels - I think it will restrict your ability to mix it with other items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-similar-tux-jacket#post-314666 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 18:18:42 +0000 kellygirl 314666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's cute but the lapels are so contrast-y especially with that optic white. I'm not sure it's as versatile as the first one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-similar-tux-jacket#post-314629 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 17:28:46 +0000 Mo 314629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got a cute crop tux jacket following a link from Una this winter and love it (pic #1 before I had the sleeves tailored). I have my eye on a white similar jacket now. Am I falling into the repeat pattern here or are they different enough to warrant this purchase? I do find I have no light colored coat that's on the dressy side . . . but I don't want to repeat my wardrobe mistakes of the past and find I've 'stocked up' on too many of the same thing.<br /> hmmmm what to do? <a href="http://shop.guess.com/Catalog/View/W04N25BEC00?mr:referralID=0f1bf8bb-4f29-11e0-b827-001b2166c62d" rel="nofollow">http://shop.guess.com/Catalog/.....1b2166c62d</a></p> <p>yay - the white tux jacket is fresh and different<br /> nay - more of the same </p>
