Will definitely try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-attempt-to-style-a-busy-jacket#post-1474986 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 19:24:04 +0000 LGS 1474986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'd like to see this jacket with a lighter foundation ~ a white tee perhaps, and white or cream-colored jeans. &nbsp;Or even jeans with a summery, light blue wash. &nbsp;Finish it off with a sand/nude wedge or sandal with a sand/nude belt. &nbsp;I think it would lighten up the outfit for spring and summer. &nbsp;It's a cute jacket, and the stripes are a lot of fun. &nbsp;I don't find it busy at all. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-attempt-to-style-a-busy-jacket#post-1474835 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 13:35:27 +0000 AM 1474835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this really works. Well done. And I agree with Rabbit's comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-attempt-to-style-a-busy-jacket#post-1474807 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 12:41:31 +0000 Daria 1474807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet - will be wearing it with a white tee definitely, thanks for your comment.<br />celia - yes, theoretically cropped blazer would go well with a dress, but I'm not in love with my toothpick legs so don't wear dresses much. Sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-attempt-to-style-a-busy-jacket#post-1474224 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 12:59:55 +0000 Janet 1474224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed the earlier post, but I agree that styling this jacket with really simple supporting players would be my preference too. I'd be curious to see it with lighter wash jeans and a white tee as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-attempt-to-style-a-busy-jacket#post-1474207 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 12:36:31 +0000 celia 1474207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this version( didn't see the other).<br />Have you thought about wearing a dress with it, in one of the neutral colors of the jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-attempt-to-style-a-busy-jacket#post-1474204 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 12:30:14 +0000 Anonymous 1474204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this styling, Daria! The jacket looks very much like a Smythe style to me. It's a beautiful shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-attempt-to-style-a-busy-jacket#post-1474200 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 12:24:50 +0000 Daria 1474200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rabbit - thanks! It's hard to see as the photo is fairly dark, but the jeans are very dark charcoal rather than black. I was thinking of wearing the booties instead of oxfords, which are almost exactly the same color as the pants. But being rather high heel, they would elongate the leg line even further which I felt was redundant with the cropped jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-attempt-to-style-a-busy-jacket#post-1473891 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 22:20:54 +0000 rabbit 1473891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks good. &nbsp;The column of navy picks up on the patches on the jacket and the narrow cut of the jeans works well with it's shape. &nbsp;Oxfords work with it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-attempt-to-style-a-busy-jacket#post-1473874 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 22:09:43 +0000 Daria 1473874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-attempt-to-style-a-busy-jacket#post-1473758 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 17:42:06 +0000 Dee 1473758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed your previous post but I think you've styled it well here. The neutrals and streamlined shapes balance the pattern nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-attempt-to-style-a-busy-jacket#post-1473709 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 16:24:22 +0000 crutcher 1473709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jacket with neutrals...Interesting pattern and color...Thx for sharing... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-attempt-to-style-a-busy-jacket#post-1473688 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 15:56:39 +0000 Daria 1473688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a very simple and very typical outfit for me, and I normally wouldn't be posting it. However, I did try styling this jacket a few weeks back (with light bottoms) and the outfit definitely looked like "too much going on". The jacket indeed has quite a busy pattern, but it's a nice structure for being 100% cotton, and I wonder if I did a better job styling it with darker neutrals.<br />Here I'm wearing it with black skinnies, navy top and gray oxfords.<br />Jacket - picked up on flash sale site, brand unknown :)<br />Top - Coldwater Creek<br />Skinnies - AG<br />Oxfords - Born<br />What's your opinion? </p>
