You have heels and lovely long legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---should-i-keep-this-jacket/page/2#post-1085821 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 03:51:40 +0000 Day Vies 1085821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my favorite. I love the necklace, very graphic shiny and slick with the organic distressed denim. I like the length of the jacket on you and the shape/structure. The sleeves seem a little long to my eye but the jacket looks fabulous with the sleeves scrunched. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---should-i-keep-this-jacket/page/2#post-1085678 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 01:41:26 +0000 rebekahphoto 1085678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this blazer on you, and a nice contrast to the softer sweaters &amp; cardigans.

I only wish I could get that effect. <br />You will have to judge the fit up close (armholes, draping)--but the overall effect is nicely fluid and slightly BF-like and that is what looks so great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---should-i-keep-this-jacket/page/2#post-1085522 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 22:48:46 +0000 Aida 1085522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big yay on the BR blazer from me, it looks fabulous! #3 and 4 both also look great, but I do prefer #3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---should-i-keep-this-jacket/page/2#post-1085281 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:43:48 +0000 Mo 1085281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late here, but Yay! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---should-i-keep-this-jacket/page/2#post-1085278 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:41:50 +0000 Marley 1085278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise - I am just in awe of your style.&nbsp; It is soooo uniquely <i>you</i> and I love looking at your WIW's - and also, your pics!&nbsp; They look like a magazine spread!&nbsp; As far as the blazer goes - I love it with the sleeves scrunched and I love it with all the different tops and bottoms that you have shown here.&nbsp; Could you shorten the sleeves so that you could have the option of wearing them unscrunched if you wanted?&nbsp; I also love the FP sweater - and am amazed that you can wear a cardigan and not look frumpy!&nbsp; I noticed that you don't have a belt on in the first pic - and I'm sure that that was intentional on your part.&nbsp; May I ask what it was that made you decide to not wear a belt?&nbsp; I never know for sure if I should wear one - I've seen a lot of cool outfits with and without a belt - and I always wonder what it is that determines to belt or not to belt!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---should-i-keep-this-jacket#post-1085255 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:34:51 +0000 Angie 1085255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A hundred thumbs up on the black blazer.&nbsp;</p> <p>I prefer #3 to #4, but #4 is fabulous too. How about low contrast skinnies next time round?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---should-i-keep-this-jacket#post-1085208 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:02:30 +0000 Suz 1085208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah. Alas. Tis not identical. New one is the 2 button style I tried and rejected as too staid. I'm mad, because it fits me brilliantly. But just doesn't work style-wise. And the tux jacket, which does work style-wise, doesn't fit as well. GRRRR.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---should-i-keep-this-jacket#post-1085197 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:53:53 +0000 CocoLion 1085197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for all of the responses. &nbsp;Sorry to post and run, I have a lot more ahead of me today but I will check in again late at night. &nbsp;The BR jacket is from almost 2 years ago. &nbsp;But this jacket looks identical and has the&nbsp;same stretch wool fabric.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=87056&amp;vid=2&amp;pid=565847002">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....=565847002</a></p> <p>Una, the jeans are Free People crops. &nbsp;I decided against the COH, I've never fit that brand well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---should-i-keep-this-jacket#post-1085095 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:38:33 +0000 Anonymous 1085095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blazer with the sleeves scrunched.&nbsp; I don't see stumpy with the BF but I like the gray skinnys too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---should-i-keep-this-jacket#post-1085091 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:36:33 +0000 deb 1085091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is classic so I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---should-i-keep-this-jacket#post-1085089 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:35:57 +0000 Parsley 1085089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the blazer on you, including the sort of BF fit, but I agree that it seems to work best with the sleeves scrunched. A black blazer is awfully handy to throw on over jeans or whatever when you want to look a bit more put together but not trying too hard.<br />I'm glad you kept the navy cardigan, too. It looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---should-i-keep-this-jacket#post-1085052 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:08:18 +0000 karymk 1085052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like the blazer is a little big on you? I can see it in the shoulders and arm length. &nbsp;I bet you can find a better fit out there.</p> <p>The BF pic does not look stupefying; you look great in this pic and I love how you wore that necklace for interest. &nbsp;It pulls the outfit together. Number 4 looks just as good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---should-i-keep-this-jacket#post-1085041 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:00:45 +0000 rae 1085041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I <i>love</i> the blazer with the sleeves scrunched, but the sleeves do overwhelm you when down. Maybe take up the sleeves and then you can wear it both ways? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---should-i-keep-this-jacket#post-1085029 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:50:07 +0000 AviaMariah 1085029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please keep that jacket! &nbsp;I love the shoulder line on you. &nbsp;A very classic look and, like Suz said, everyone needs a good black jacket even if it's not your best color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---should-i-keep-this-jacket#post-1085013 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:39:41 +0000 carambola 1085013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the blazer is stunning on you. Love all 4 outfits. Your legs do look a mile long in 4, but I like the vibe in 3 and don't see stumpification. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---should-i-keep-this-jacket#post-1085003 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:32:23 +0000 Beth Ann 1085003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Suz -- navy is best for you, but everyone can you a stunning black blazer, and this one is classic-modern.&nbsp; It isn't trendy, but has a little longer length and lower stance, making it work with your closet.&nbsp; I love #1, particularly.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---should-i-keep-this-jacket#post-1084911 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:29:46 +0000 Word Lily 1084911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do you dislike / makes you unsure about the blazer?

It reminds me of the jacket in today's post. You look great in all 4 pictures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---should-i-keep-this-jacket#post-1084763 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 13:34:07 +0000 Janet 1084763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blazer on you, especially with the sleeves scrunched. The faded jeans look great with it, no need to question that decision. I also like the other outfits -- you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---should-i-keep-this-jacket#post-1084762 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 13:32:57 +0000 Suz 1084762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, I agree that you look fantastic in navy. Love today's outfit (well, it must be yesterday's now, as I read...)&nbsp;</p> <p>I do think navy is more flattering, but I also think we all need a black jacket in the closet. (Said by one who is currently on the hunt). This one looks great on you. Is it the one that Diana almost bought? (The one button suit jacket?) Or is it another? I sent back the BR tux jacket because the sleeve fit was not right on me and could not be altered to work.&nbsp; </p>
