I have to admit, those pants made me very happy. I played around with different combinations, and they were a lot of fun with high heels. :o)</p> <p>It looks like I'm going to have to play around with combinations for the jacket too.</p> <p>Suz, I could hardly believe it when I saw the price myself. But Reitman's and SmartSet are having their pink sticker sales right now, where they clear out the end-of-season things with an additional 50% off the lowest ticketed price. I'm the kind of shopper who heads straight for clearance racks. It's amazing what you find sometimes. And a brown jacket was on my list, so I didn't hesitate very long when I found it.</p> <p>On the down side, I discovered I still can't wear straight dresses, at least not off the rack. *sigh* Separates it is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-blazer-et-al#post-700583 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 23:30:42 +0000 Angie 700583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like you in those rust coloured trousers, JR! You *are* wearing them at the perfect length :). #1 is fantastic! That's how to bring life to a black top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-blazer-et-al#post-700581 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 23:27:23 +0000 Suz 700581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love you in #1! That is a great combo for you. And the jacket looks like an amazing buy. I agree with Zapotee; it will look lovely with some brights. Your scarves are beautiful, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-blazer-et-al#post-700576 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 23:18:41 +0000 Anonymous 700576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the new blazer. I can see it working with lots of things, I would love to see it paired with a bright -not muted- color like a cobalt blue or emerald green. My suspicion is that you will look even cuter with a bright color near your face. </p> <p>#1 and # 5 are really nice looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-blazer-et-al#post-700493 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 20:52:46 +0000 JR 700493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Krista, you are too sweet.</p> <p>Tex, the blouse is black. Navy is the next colour I want to experiment with a bit. Hmm, you're giving me ideas.</p> <p>I agree about a long pendant, but I haven't found one I'm ready to spring for yet. In a pinch, I have a long, antique gold coloured torsade that I tie a knot in to mimic a pendant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-blazer-et-al#post-700470 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 20:32:10 +0000 texstyle 700470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #1 a lot on you JR, the dark color of the top and the scarf look really nice and so do the pants. Is the top navy? If so, I'd say navy is a wonderful color choice for you. And what a bargain on that jacket! It looks like it fits great. I have to say I'm not a big fan of cardis right now but I like the outfit in #4 and would try the top untucked with maybe a shorter topper. And #5 looks like a great summer outfit - if it's too hot for the scarf, maybe a long pendant would be a replacement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-blazer-et-al#post-700468 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 20:30:28 +0000 Krista 700468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving #1, #4 and #5! I think that jacket will be a great neutral to take you into the fall. Happy to see you back - missed your posts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-blazer-et-al#post-700441 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 20:11:51 +0000 JR 700441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1-3: Started out the day yesterday wearing my new rust-coloured pants and lucked upon a blazer on deep clearance. $10.16, tax included, for a fully-line, linen-cotton blend. A wee bit on the snug side, but wearable, and leaves me room to shrink. I couldn't help it - I styled it for a bit of an equestrian look. The scarf contains all three of the solid colours I was wearing, which made it a bit of a natural, as well as adding a bit of colour near my face. I got the idea for tucking it under a necklace from a blog called Playing With Scarves.</p> <p>#4: We had a cool day a while back, so here's another long pants look. </p> <p>#5: And I am still playing around with those white capris. I've been letting them drop to my hips and "owning" the slouch. And yes, I wore the scarf till mid-afternoon. We had a cool period, which is now over for a while. </p>
