Really the side view open looks good, but I do know that feeling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-open-or-closed#post-1046370 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 00:51:36 +0000 Angie 1046370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both ways too. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-open-or-closed#post-1046327 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 23:19:40 +0000 Deborah 1046327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can wear that jacket either way:) The fit is great open or closed. Love the pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-open-or-closed#post-1046307 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 22:27:36 +0000 MsLuna 1046307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit is so chic! Wear the blazer open and closed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-open-or-closed#post-1046302 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 22:24:05 +0000 Sveta 1046302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both work and cognac is great with this bright blue (I am making notes here) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-open-or-closed#post-1046230 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 20:44:58 +0000 Adelfa 1046230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK, you are too funny!</p> <p>Suz, I am still getting used to the idea that cognac may bookend my hair as well as or better than black--my natural shade is very dark brown, but now I have highlights!</p> <p>Denise, Diane, Amy, and kkards--I think this may be the first time I've ever left the house in a buttoned blazer! Ever! So it was fun for a change. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-open-or-closed#post-1046212 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 20:14:33 +0000 Suz 1046212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look fantastic either way! Those cobalt pants are brilliant on you. And I love the cognac booties. They are integrated with the belt and connect to your hair. Fab outfit either way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-open-or-closed#post-1046205 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 20:04:25 +0000 MsMary 1046205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer open.&nbsp; I kind of feel like people are generally only going to see the side view in passing, so I don't worry about it too much.&nbsp; And also, the side view looks fine with it open!</p> <p>I feel like open is a fresher look - closed reminds me of Stacy and Clinton insisting that "the girls" be "locked and loaded" some years ago, and I feel like I'm over that.&nbsp; YMMV, of course.</p> <p>And in my view, cognac booties are the perfect footwear for just about anything!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-open-or-closed#post-1046178 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 19:18:58 +0000 CocoLion 1046178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both work but I prefer closed. &nbsp;And the booties are fine, they are a deeper cognac so I think they work with dark wash skinnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-open-or-closed#post-1046173 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 19:05:46 +0000 Anonymous 1046173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think either works well too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-open-or-closed#post-1046167 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 18:55:23 +0000 Amy 1046167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Either works, but I prefer the open version just a little bit more. Ylf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-open-or-closed#post-1046164 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 18:48:14 +0000 Adelfa 1046164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Vix, I was just wondering if the effect with the booties was too colorblockish, interfering with the line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-open-or-closed#post-1046162 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 18:43:20 +0000 kkards 1046162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think either works, but have a slight preference for the open because it show more of the stripe.<br /> Also loving the boots. The color and the toe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-open-or-closed#post-1046158 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 18:36:10 +0000 Vix 1046158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Adelfa --</p> <p>My category choice is missing as I vote: <b>Either!</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the curves from unbuttoned&nbsp;blazer create a lovely side view. </p> <p>ETA I like to cognac booties; what are your concerns?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-open-or-closed#post-1046152 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 18:26:16 +0000 Adelfa 1046152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never wear blazers closed but today I did. I still think the front view is cuter with it open. But the side view is never very nice with an open blazer, at least not on me!</p> <p>What do you think? Open or closed?</p> <p>And do the cognac booties work with this outfit?</p> <p>Thanks for looking and I'm interested in any feedback!</p> <p>navy blazer: GAP Academy // royal blue jeans: WHBM // top: St. James via J.
