Love the black ones but I really want navy. So... I just ordered this for $14 clearance, and they are shipping it to the store next door to my office free! <a href="http://www.jcpenney.com/dotcom/juniors-guys/view-all-juniors/clothing/jackets-coats/olsenboyetm-navy-polka-dot-blazer/prod.jump?ppId=1e7fe7a&#038;cm_mmc=ShoppingFeed-_-GooglePLA-_-Juniors%20%20Guys-_-1e7fe7a&#038;ci_src=17588969&#038;ci_sku=1e7fe7a" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcpenney.com/dotcom.....ku=1e7fe7a</a></p> <p>Stay tuned!</p> <p>And Deborah, you bring up a great point.</p> <p>Those of you who don't like the jacket, is it because it objectively doesn't look good, or because it isn't au courant? Or is there really any meaningful difference between the two? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-83-dots-and-watercolor-and-green-shoes#post-684601 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 00:25:58 +0000 CocoLion 684601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you remove the shoulder pads?</p> <p>I like the pattern mixing and don't think the jacket is that bad, the whole outfit looks ladylike classic to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-83-dots-and-watercolor-and-green-shoes#post-684577 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 23:52:04 +0000 Deborah 684577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mixed feelings about the jacket Mary. Not so long ago I thrifted a designer jacket in a similar cut but I ended up passing to my mum and she loves it. It looks lovely on her and she is not so concerned with looking ""fashion forward". I think it really depends on what you are hoping to achieve:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-83-dots-and-watercolor-and-green-shoes#post-684575 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 23:47:19 +0000 annagybe 684575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this one, but the reviews are decidedly mixed</p> <p><a href="http://www.shopbop.com/short-dotted-garcon-blazer-madewell/vp/v=1/845524441945992.htm?folderID=2534374302066388&#038;colorId=18336&#038;extid=affprg-2178999#reviewsArea" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/short-d.....eviewsArea</a></p> <p>Forever 21 had some too, but I'm not a fan of them so I have a problem recommending them.</p> <p>This one seems the most like you</p> <p><a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/blazers-vests/giddy-things-done-blazer?ref=1&#038;utm_medium=CJaffiliate&#038;utm_campaign=CJ&#038;utm_source=CJ" rel="nofollow">http://www.modcloth.com/shop/b....._source=CJ</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-83-dots-and-watercolor-and-green-shoes#post-684571 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 23:43:31 +0000 MsMary 684571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, you all have convinced me!

A perfect marriage :)</p> <p>I was going to say the same thing about the jacket as Jonesy, Mary. How about your Gap navy jacket? Or the new teal jacket? Or a white blazer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-83-dots-and-watercolor-and-green-shoes#post-684433 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 19:59:03 +0000 Parsley 684433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MK, you are so fearless when it comes to pattern mixing- I love your sense of adventure.<br /> OK, so the jacket's not my favorite, either, but I like the idea of polka dots with that fab skirt.<br /> And, oh, those shoes! They are so wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-83-dots-and-watercolor-and-green-shoes#post-684418 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 19:34:50 +0000 catgirl 684418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Jonesy on the jacket. I've had to reform my thrifting ways because all too often I'm willing to try anything, With so many decades of fashions behind me, it's way too easy for me to think something looks fine because it's somewhere in my fashion muscle memory.</p> <p>But the idea is fab, and don't you have another polka dot jacket? If not, you need one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-83-dots-and-watercolor-and-green-shoes#post-684355 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 18:15:51 +0000 kellygirl 684355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol! Your response to Jonesy made me log in! (Just back from out So. Cal vacation and waved at you when we drove though Pasadena.) As long as you are wearing it ironically, it totally works </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-83-dots-and-watercolor-and-green-shoes#post-684290 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 16:20:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 684290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just ADORE that skirt MaryK - and wow, the shoes are brilliant with it! I also love the touches of white in the top, handbag and details on the jacket. The pattern mixing is fantastic.</p> <p>As for the shape of the jacket, I'm kind of on the fence....will think on it some more... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-83-dots-and-watercolor-and-green-shoes#post-684288 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 16:18:09 +0000 rae 684288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, the jacket does look a teeny bit dated to me. What about Suz's idea to only button one button? It might create the illusion of a lower stance. </p> <p>The pattern mix is adorable, though - and OMG the shoooooes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-83-dots-and-watercolor-and-green-shoes#post-684254 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 15:46:07 +0000 Suz 684254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. I love the colour/pattern mix but I agree the shape of the jacket seems a bit off. What happens if you button one button? </p> <p>My heavens I love those shoes!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-83-dots-and-watercolor-and-green-shoes#post-684252 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 15:44:22 +0000 JR 684252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, the brand new black summer blazer I just got had shoulder pads in it. Discreet ones, but there you are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-83-dots-and-watercolor-and-green-shoes#post-684245 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 15:39:33 +0000 Krista 684245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another win for pattern-mixing. The green and blue together makes me so happy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-83-dots-and-watercolor-and-green-shoes#post-684244 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 15:39:06 +0000 MsMary 684244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seriously, though, I realize it's not the freshest style and this is an experiment to see whether I can breathe life into it. The shape is definitely dated but I thought the white trim on the cuffs and the polka dots were contemporary enough that maybe I could make it work. But maybe I should leave it to the twentysomething bloggers so I don't look like I've been holding on to it all these years...</p> <p>I'll be interested to see what others have to say on that issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-83-dots-and-watercolor-and-green-shoes#post-684239 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 15:35:03 +0000 Jonesy 684239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aaah, well, then it's FAB :)!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-83-dots-and-watercolor-and-green-shoes#post-684238 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 15:33:56 +0000 MsMary 684238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But, but.... Jonesy! I'm wearing it IRONICALLY! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-83-dots-and-watercolor-and-green-shoes#post-684212 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 15:18:25 +0000 Jonesy 684212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pattern mix and the color palette! For me, somehow, the jacket shape looks a bit dated (wider collar + 3-button high stance + padded shoulders?), vs., especially, your 1-button white jacket or the new NAS ones with the double-breasted low stance (in teal and purple, I think?). Just my two cents! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-83-dots-and-watercolor-and-green-shoes#post-684208 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 15:14:34 +0000 MNsara 684208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it turned out fresh, colorful, and summery! You're right that in close-up, the colors go very nicely. You're always such a breath of fresh air </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-83-dots-and-watercolor-and-green-shoes#post-684170 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 14:54:24 +0000 biscuitsmom 684170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love that dress, so I woud showcase it and not have another large pattern w/it, but thats just me....you look so lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-83-dots-and-watercolor-and-green-shoes#post-684161 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 14:49:13 +0000 MsMary 684161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This jacket is part of a suit -- I wore the skirt a couple of days ago. I decided to try it with my new favorite watercolor print skirt and the new green shoes. I kind of like the retro/modern vibe. </p> <p>I'm not feeling like the navy jacket with white polka dots is photographing all that wel. I think it looks better in person. (ETA close-up of the pattern mix.) Anyway, what do you all think?</p> <p>Navy polka-dot jacket: Le Suit via consignment<br /> Print skirt: Halogen<br /> Tee: American Eagle<br /> Green pumps: Kate Spade<br /> White tote: eBay<br /> Giant pearl earrings: drugstore.com </p>
