When I bought it I thought it would be such a workhorse. Turned out very difficult to style for some reason. I think it's the very light shade of gray that gives me trouble. I am wearing mine with lighter colors, light wash skinnies, and a white button down shirt. I don't like this particular shade of gray with black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-grey-gibson-blazer#post-773322 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:37:03 +0000 Sara L. 773322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jacket too. What about the fit bothers you? Maybe it's not photographing the same way you're seeing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-grey-gibson-blazer#post-773315 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:21:14 +0000 Jaime 773315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jacket! It sort of gives structure to the drapey blouse and gives you a sort of tough guy/girl look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-grey-gibson-blazer#post-773298 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 13:59:09 +0000 Transcona Shannon 773298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like the way this looks Una - the jacket almost has a boyfriend feel to it and I think that works really well.</p> <p>Your linoleum makes me smile - mine was very similar before we replaced it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-grey-gibson-blazer#post-773291 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 13:44:03 +0000 Anonymous 773291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this look. But grey is my favourite colour, so I am biased. The jacket looks a little big to me, but intentionally. I like how the cutaway balances your shoulders! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-grey-gibson-blazer#post-773247 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 12:03:29 +0000 Atlantia 773247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye this blazer is flattering. I love the ruffly hem of the shirt under the blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-grey-gibson-blazer#post-773235 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 11:16:57 +0000 Suz 773235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, Una. I do see that it might be a bit on the loose side through the torso. Maybe do a jacket show down with both sizes? Although it will be tough to tell the details on the black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-grey-gibson-blazer#post-773198 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 07:54:23 +0000 rae 773198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, if the jacket is doing anything wrong, it is not photographing. Those curved hems seem to do very nice things for you! Interesting that you thought the thrifted jacket was unflattering, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-grey-gibson-blazer#post-773193 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 06:58:25 +0000 sinead 773193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow- I have the opposite reaction to 'not flattering'. That jacket is gorgeous! I really like this outfit. And I want that jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-grey-gibson-blazer#post-773184 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 06:20:43 +0000 Charmian 773184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I <em>love</em> the monochrome! What about the jacket's fit bugs you? The fit around your waist looks great; is it the shoulders? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-grey-gibson-blazer#post-773182 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 06:08:21 +0000 catgirl 773182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit looked a lot better with my Gidigio boots, but I didn't have time to take a picture till I came home. I'm still not sure it worked, and I worry that this blazer, which is a size up from my black one, is not flattering. </p> <p>My logic this morning was as follows: "I really want to wear this Prairie Underground shirt. Oh, the grey Gap skinnies will work with that. Oops, I need to wear a jacket - this one needs to be tested."</p> <p>You can see the lovely 70s linoleum that appeared under our laminate flooring behind me.</p> <p>Feedback welcome! </p>
