And as Aida stated everyone has a sweet spot with jackets and button placement more than what is fashionable I think perfect fit is&nbsp;&nbsp;more important. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-olive-and-black#post-1452656 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 12:16:21 +0000 MTBGirl 1452656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Aida and Joy for the explanations. &nbsp;I'm not short? (5' 7") And I have a long torso.&nbsp;I'll have to check into a lower stance and see whats up for me.<br />Carole - I know right? For the first time I saw Angie's Ensemble and not only thought I could do it but I was like- wait I just about have that! Usually it's more like well, I don't have yellow I could use... or something like that. : )<br />Thanks all and I might hang on to the blazer for awhile. It is comfy with its&nbsp;stretch which I seem to need across my back and it has 3/4 sleeves which comes in handy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-olive-and-black#post-1452618 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 07:33:39 +0000 Anonymous 1452618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it looks dated at all.

Not dated looking to me. I like the freshness of the striped shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-olive-and-black#post-1452424 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 22:15:41 +0000 Aida 1452424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy described it perfectly. The blazer in photo 1 below has a higher stance; those in #2 have the lower more modern looking stance. Yours isn't necessarily out of date by the way, the low stance is just a trendier option. A low low stance isn't necessarily well suited to all body types either; whether you wear the blazer done up or only left open is also a factor there, and we all have different "sweet spots" for where those buttons look best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-olive-and-black#post-1452423 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 22:12:32 +0000 Carole 1452423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! So nice you had all these pieces ready to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-olive-and-black#post-1452421 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 22:08:45 +0000 Anonymous 1452421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna , this looks sharp on you. I like 2 with the tuck best. A lower stance<br /> blazer usually has the top button lower down, so often has just 1-2 buttons. If you are short like me, that means the jacket is best if it is somewhat cropped or the stance may be too low. I think your jacket looks classic but a moto or even a black denim jean jacket would also look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-olive-and-black#post-1452395 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 21:00:21 +0000 MTBGirl 1452395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Karie</b>.The blazer must be 15 years old but I want to replace before letting go. And it has a little stretch in it.<br />Thanks <b>Rute</b>. I have rolled the tee sleeves up once and scrunched a little so they just peek out a stripe or two!<br />Thanks <b>tr3kkie9rl</b>!<br />Thanks <b>Aida</b>. What does a lower stance mean?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-olive-and-black#post-1452390 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 20:51:48 +0000 Aida 1452390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! The blazer looks fine, though if you are going to update I'd say something with a lower stance would look more modern. I prefer the second version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-olive-and-black#post-1452388 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 20:49:53 +0000 trekkiegirl 1452388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And just to be clear, when I see classic I think timeless, not dated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-olive-and-black#post-1452386 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 20:45:31 +0000 trekkiegirl 1452386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! The shape of your pieces are very classic (to me anyway) but the combo is fresh and FAB </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-olive-and-black#post-1452381 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 20:39:17 +0000 rute 1452381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I Love it!

Sometimes it's good to wait on purging items from our wardrobes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-olive-and-black#post-1452333 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 18:42:17 +0000 MTBGirl 1452333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just never thought to pair my olive items with black. Usually reach for brown or coral, but based on Angie's ensemble thought I'd try it and I like it! Not sure if top is better tucked or untucked? Cold enough today to not worry about snow melt with my bootcuts ( we got another 7" of snow yesterday). The blazer and shirt are both so old I thought about purging a couple times but I like that the blazer is a bit more casual than my regular suit blazer and was waiting to be able to buy a black moto jacket to replace. Does it look dated? Thanks in advance for any input! </p>
