These look best on brunettes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-velvet-jacket-looks-best-for-blondes#post-470125 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 20:46:37 +0000 Vicki 470125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My skin tone is right down the middle. I'm currently wearing a Chanel foundation called soft bisque and in the past have worn an ivory beige. Yes, too bad they don't have fabric swatches in the store! That's an EXCELLENT idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-velvet-jacket-looks-best-for-blondes#post-470114 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 20:40:01 +0000 RoseandJoan 470114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Online only, wouldn't it be great if the store at least had fabric swatches. I like all of the colours you have selected, is your skintone warm or cool? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-velvet-jacket-looks-best-for-blondes#post-470113 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 20:39:55 +0000 Ana 470113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been eyeing the poppy blazer for a few weeks (I love color though--the brighter, the better). I think the color depends on your own coloring (cool or warm) and what will work best in your wardrobe. Let us know what you decide.</p> <p>Also, I think if you order the jacket on the red phone in the store, the shipping might be free. I haven't done it in so long that I can't exactly remember, but it might be worth asking if you happen to be in the store. I know you can definitely return the item in the store if it doesn't work out, so you could order both colors and see which one was better, then return the other if you wanted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-velvet-jacket-looks-best-for-blondes#post-470111 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 20:37:29 +0000 nancylee 470111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for either the blue or the burgundy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-velvet-jacket-looks-best-for-blondes#post-470100 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 20:32:25 +0000 Vicki 470100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alas, this jacket is not in the stores and is strictly an online item! ;( I'm rethinking this and wondering if velvet is a necessary part of my wardrobe. Maybe not. Poppy? I did look at that, along with my other choices, because my default isn't always a pop of color, until more recently and having seen you in your glorious new coat, Angie, reminds me to open up to the color spectrum! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-velvet-jacket-looks-best-for-blondes#post-469487 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 02:15:38 +0000 Isis 469487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LURVE the blue! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-velvet-jacket-looks-best-for-blondes#post-469484 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 02:14:49 +0000 Heather 469484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want the poppy, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-velvet-jacket-looks-best-for-blondes#post-469394 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 00:02:11 +0000 Angie 469394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are both great colours for you, Vicki! I have a slight preference for the Bristol Blue. </p> <p>Blondes do differ, though. For my own wardrobe, I'd have selected the poppy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-velvet-jacket-looks-best-for-blondes#post-469385 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 23:55:26 +0000 Sheila 469385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! I can see you in that blue velvet jacket...so stunning! Have fun with this decision.</p> <p> In the back of my mind, I can also see the always-elegant Catherine Deneuve in a black velvet jacket, with a classic white blouse that has a tasteful ruffle down the front, or perhaps the collar is a ruffle...just a lovely vision of the past. I know you will embrace the right color for YOU, once you see the choices in person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-velvet-jacket-looks-best-for-blondes#post-469272 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 21:02:46 +0000 Anonymous 469272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me it would depend not only on your hair color but even more on your skin tones and eye color for the best blazer color. If your eyes are brown or hazel, I vote that you try the olive moss </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-velvet-jacket-looks-best-for-blondes#post-469220 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 19:53:26 +0000 Vicki 469220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for chiming in and I guess it's time to make a road trip J. Crew and check out those colors in person, which is the best way to decide! Love your input! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-velvet-jacket-looks-best-for-blondes#post-469206 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 19:32:25 +0000 rae 469206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote blue! And not just because blue velvet makes me think of David Lynch (though that doesn't hurt). I think that color looks really rich with the texture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-velvet-jacket-looks-best-for-blondes#post-469194 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 19:20:48 +0000 catgirl 469194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm liking the olive moss too, although the first color that came to mind was emerald. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-velvet-jacket-looks-best-for-blondes#post-469158 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:37:29 +0000 HelenInCanada 469158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the Olive Moss would look sumptious with your blonde 'do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-velvet-jacket-looks-best-for-blondes#post-469153 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:30:19 +0000 sarah 469153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the thought of that blue on you! What a lovely blazer. The burgundy RL gets my second vote. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-velvet-jacket-looks-best-for-blondes#post-469152 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:29:59 +0000 Sylvie 469152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The olive moss is a beautiful color but it's not as rich as the burgundy. I feel the burgundy is going to contrast more with your hair and the olive moss will not stand out as much. Just depends what look you're going for.</p> <p>I've seen the olive moss in person. Haven't seen the burgundy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-velvet-jacket-looks-best-for-blondes#post-469147 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:18:33 +0000 Anonymous 469147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, those are all nice. I vote for Olive Moss for you.</p> <p>But dang, why did I click? Now I'm lusting after the Dark Blossom J Crew one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-velvet-jacket-looks-best-for-blondes#post-469138 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:08:55 +0000 Vicki 469138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After reading Angie's post "I've Got the J. Crew Bug," I started looking at velvet blazers and found these two, one from the blog and one from Macy's. Any color better for blondes? None of them? I don't want it to be a "fussy" velvet, but something wonderful and warm and rich in color, mainly.</p> <p>J. Crew School Boy Blazer in Velvet. I was thinking of Olive Moss or Bristol Blue:<br /> <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/blazersandvests/schoolboy/PRDOVR~51758/51758.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_ca...../51758.jsp</a></p> <p>Lauren by Ralph Lauren Jacket, Valerine Long Sleeve Velvet Blazer in Royal Burgundy: </p> <p><a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/lauren-by-ralph-lauren-jacket-valerine-long-sleeve-velvet-blazer?ID=625037&#038;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....sn_results</a></p> <p>Thanks! </p>
