It's 11439 and you get $25 off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-blue-jacket#post-522763 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:25:50 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 522763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie (Goldenpig) has the WHBM jacket. You might check out some of her WIWs. </p> <p>My fave is that one, FWIW, but the Talbots jacket may be more versatile depending on your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-blue-jacket#post-522760 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:23:47 +0000 machanteuse (Lori) 522760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input. I actually went to all three stores today. Loft didn't have that sweater jacket. At Talbots I didn't see the one I linked but I tried on a different one:</p> <p><a href="http://www.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?id=prdi28141&#038;rootCategory=cat70010&#038;catId=cat80008&#038;sortKey=Default&#038;section=Regular&#038;conceptIdUnderSale=cat70010" rel="nofollow">http://www.talbots.com/online/.....e=cat70010</a></p> <p>I liked it quite a bit actually but I need a coupon. The WHBM one is the one I was initially most drawn to, but I didn't like it on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-blue-jacket#post-522694 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 19:22:36 +0000 Claudia 522694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a tall (5'9"), curvy, very busty (36F), hourglass and the regular Talbots "Kate" fit jackets work great on me. Because the Kate fit is cut to nip in at the waist, you can go up a size to accommodate a larger bust and the jacket still looks good and fitted because of that. Just my .02.</p> <p>But I'd go with your usual size first and agree that a knit will be forgiving here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-blue-jacket#post-522681 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 19:12:45 +0000 fern 522681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But the Talbots is a knit so it should be okay for curves. I vote for Talbots too - knit makes it not so classic.<br /> Unless: Lori, do you want to go towards the playful, bombshell-y style of the WHBM jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-blue-jacket#post-522619 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 18:05:22 +0000 Anonymous 522619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My qualm with the Talbots jacket is that I have an hourglass figure and those types of jackets don't work for me. Beautiful, yes, but not cut for curves. This is where "classic" and I part company. There are certain cuts that just don't work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-blue-jacket#post-522571 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:25:17 +0000 Stephanie 522571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am pretty sure that Natalie (goldenpig) has the WHBM jacket and has posted photos of herself wearing it on the forum, so you might look at her photos. I myself prefer the Talbot's, but my tastes are classic in jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-blue-jacket#post-522457 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:16:01 +0000 Angie 522457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the Talbots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-blue-jacket#post-522398 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:04:00 +0000 Meredith1953 522398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really think the Talbots jacket is gorgeously cut, simple classic and what a color. I think it would look great on you and go with just about anything. I also like the loft jacket. especially with the striped boatneck. That would look super cute with jeans and ballet flats. I guess I'd get both of those jackets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-blue-jacket#post-522386 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:50:05 +0000 Anonymous 522386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your figure looks a lot like mine. I'd go with the WHBM jacket. It's so chic with the longer length shirt underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-blue-jacket#post-522377 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:45:46 +0000 Kirti 522377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the peplum one, it will really define your waist </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-blue-jacket#post-522360 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:36:00 +0000 machanteuse (Lori) 522360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am looking for a cute, casual, slightly funky blue jacket.
