I am going to go and try all of them tomorrow (MK Safari one, the halogen one and the one Nicole posted) and see how they fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-safari-style-jacket#post-7203 Thu, 15 May 2008 23:26:03 +0000 Julia 7203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see the LaROK 'French Army' Jacket have your name all over it Ana! The pose and expression of the model look just like you. $300 is too much though IMO.</p> <p>I really like the one Nicole posted, I think it's worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-safari-style-jacket#post-7183 Thu, 15 May 2008 21:53:31 +0000 Nicole 7183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, this has almost everything you're talking about. It's white, it's got elbow sleeves, it's no linen (it's cotton/spandex) It's not ridiculously priced. What it doesn't have is a belt, but it does have a built in belted look. And it's not a safari style. I think it's a little more classic.</p> <p><a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=309436&#038;CategoryID=35920" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/catalog/.....ryID=35920</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-safari-style-jacket#post-7182 Thu, 15 May 2008 21:52:59 +0000 Dana 7182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I put my thumb over the sleeve on my computer screen it looked alright </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-safari-style-jacket#post-7180 Thu, 15 May 2008 21:37:31 +0000 Ana 7180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, Patience! I do like it a lot. I would just hate to only be able to wear it this year for how much it costs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-safari-style-jacket#post-7179 Thu, 15 May 2008 21:30:51 +0000 Patience 7179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree about the linen. I was wondering if the blend with silk might help though. I might have to check it out in person. I think I'm starting to see you in the Michael Kors jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-safari-style-jacket#post-7176 Thu, 15 May 2008 21:19:29 +0000 Ana 7176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, the belting really appeals to me. I could definitely belt a more simple blazer style as well. The safari is crisp, yet still feels casual to me, like the style will go with a lot things I own. And the belt is obviously already worked into the style.</p> <p>The halogen jacket is a definite possibility. I wonder how it would look with shortened sleeves... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-safari-style-jacket#post-7175 Thu, 15 May 2008 21:17:12 +0000 Dana 7175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana,<br /> I've been looking for something like that too (I'm a southerner as well and long sleeves don't work for me after March and not until October). The only one I've seen is the one mentioned above that shiny and Julia own. </p> <p>What about this one in white, you could probably shorten the sleeves?<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2967320/0~2376776~2374327~2374375~2381291?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=2381291&#038;P=1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/29.....1&#038;P=1</a></p> <p>Is it the belting that you like on the safari style coats? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-safari-style-jacket#post-7174 Thu, 15 May 2008 21:11:54 +0000 Ana 7174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those both look nice. I think I'm looking or something a little "cleaner." Either safari style or the more traditional blazer style with a true short or elbow length sleeve. The BR is nice, but it's linen, and I'm just no good with linen--I get it all wrinkly in about 2 minutes. </p> <p>Sorry, I don't mean to shoot you guys down or be overly picky! Thanks for the suggestions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-safari-style-jacket#post-7172 Thu, 15 May 2008 21:05:58 +0000 Dana 7172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooohh, I really like the AT one! Definitely not safari, but still kind of trendy with the lantern sleeves. You couldn't belt it though, if that's what your after. I may have to look into this one...especially since it's machine washable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-safari-style-jacket#post-7164 Thu, 15 May 2008 20:46:47 +0000 Inge 7164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not safari style, but maybe not bad if you want to consider other options?<br /> <a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=15299&#038;N=1200012&#038;pCategoryId=101&#038;categoryId=187&#038;Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_187&#038;showAll=Y&#038;defaultColorNameFromCategory=White&#038;defaultSizeTypeFromCategory=Misses#ATLtop" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylor.com/catal.....ses#ATLtop</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-safari-style-jacket#post-7162 Thu, 15 May 2008 20:36:25 +0000 Patience 7162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! What about this BR one:</p> <p><a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=40924&#038;pid=564697&#038;scid=564697012" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....=564697012</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-safari-style-jacket#post-7161 Thu, 15 May 2008 20:24:20 +0000 Ana 7161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't mind that style either, Patience. I just have to make sure it doesn't have cap sleeves. The one at Express has little cap sleeves and those don't work well for me because I have big shoulders and upper arms. I look like I'm wearing a little dwarf jacket, hee hee. :D</p> <p>Let us know how the Esprit jacket works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-safari-style-jacket#post-7159 Thu, 15 May 2008 20:15:16 +0000 Patience 7159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, I don't blame you about the heat. The truth is I ordered some shorts at esprit and went for the jacket too to see what it looks like. I'm not sure that I'll keep it, but I wouldn't mind a nice white jacket myself. I understand if you're set on a safari style but you might also consider a short sleeve blazer style (which I am also considering) like the ATL one Julia and Shiny got or the one I saw at Express which is similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-safari-style-jacket#post-7157 Thu, 15 May 2008 20:08:34 +0000 Ana 7157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was wearing my denim pencil skirt today and on a whim I tried the jacket on with it, and it looked really sharp. I realized at that moment I needed a white shorter sleeve spring/summer style jacket, because I wear alot of denim, and it just looks very crisp and nice. I would get a lot of use out of it. Should I continue to look at this "safari style" (I really like the Michel Kors jacket) or will it be passe by next year? If I spend $200 on a jacket, I'd like to be able to wear it more than one year. </p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p>P.S. Patience, I looked at the paper twill jacket, and I really like it, but I'd like a shorter sleeve jacket to wear in warmer weather. Thank you though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-safari-style-jacket#post-7156 Thu, 15 May 2008 20:01:53 +0000 Angie 7156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are ALL great styles, Ana. Predictably, I love a girl in a cheeky white jacket (as long as it doesn’t look like a lab coat). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-safari-style-jacket#post-7155 Thu, 15 May 2008 19:56:53 +0000 Patience 7155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's something close at espritshop in the jackets section. I can never get the links to work right for esprit. I don't know that I'd call it a safari jacket though and it's long sleeve. It's called "paper twill blazer." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-safari-style-jacket#post-7154 Thu, 15 May 2008 19:55:14 +0000 Ana 7154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found this one which I like, but it's $300 (eesh).

I'd love to find a nicer quality jacket that is essentially the same style. Has anyone come across something like this in white that's not linen and doesn't have puff sleeves? The elbow length sleeves were a real plus for me. I wear an 8/M on top in jackets.</p> <p>Thank you! </p>
