Your posts&nbsp;like this&nbsp;are so helpful - all the outfits look great - I esp. love #2, and it really gives such a wonderful example of what we can do with just one new piece. <br /><br />I have a new linen blazer that I hope to get as much use from this summer. This gives me a lot of inspiration. &nbsp;Mine is very light weight so I'll def. have to make peace with the crease as they say. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-safari-blazer-seven-ways-for-nancylee#post-938249 Tue, 21 May 2013 19:01:39 +0000 Ingunn 938249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, all!

I ususally find the opposite, I get something picturing all the ways I'll wear it, thinking it'll be a workhorse, and it ends up getting worn rarely.&nbsp; Strange.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-safari-blazer-seven-ways-for-nancylee#post-937981 Tue, 21 May 2013 13:51:33 +0000 harmonica 937981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Amazing!

Probably my faves are the one wtih the black trousers and the black dress with the animal print scarf. I am actually very taken with the style of the jacket; and I have a length of pale sage green chino type fabric that I might make something very similar with https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-safari-blazer-seven-ways-for-nancylee#post-937853 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:02:16 +0000 lyn67 937853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love them all!

I'll bet it would be very popular. Love your style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-safari-blazer-seven-ways-for-nancylee#post-937658 Tue, 21 May 2013 01:29:09 +0000 carolbee 937658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket does look fab.

You are the mix-n-match Queen! You are nothing short of amazing in how you put outfits together.<br /><br />Isn't it strange how some items we can predict will be workhorses for us and others just surprise us? I have no idea why that is either. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-safari-blazer-seven-ways-for-nancylee#post-937593 Tue, 21 May 2013 00:31:31 +0000 Anonymous 937593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yay! I knew it would look great on you, but how wonderful that it's proving to be super-versatile, too! I have a couple of "not quite business-y" blazer/jackets and that little bit of informality makes them so much more useful to me in my everyday life. And they can stand in for business attire, if necessary.&nbsp;<br /><br />I love this on you, and all the ways you've styled it. Is it replacing a white blazer or topper for you, or is this the first time you've had a white jacket?&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-safari-blazer-seven-ways-for-nancylee#post-937585 Tue, 21 May 2013 00:09:37 +0000 pil 937585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What good fortune - this really does look great with everything. Good for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-safari-blazer-seven-ways-for-nancylee#post-937501 Mon, 20 May 2013 22:09:43 +0000 Ingunn 937501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Suz, thanks you!&nbsp;I knew that I would love it from first sight, the only insecurity was connected to sizing. Thanks to accurate information from nancylee I felt confident that it would work out. I have another BR jacket, too, my BR blazer, but it is the same size in petite, so that put me off at first. I'm so glad i took the chance. The shoulder and bust measurements are the same. You are perfectly right, it is so useful in my climate. In regards of style - I felt at home in it from the moment I put it on. It is dressy and casual at the same time - perfect!<br /><br />Thank you, Raisin :)<br /><br />Nancylee, thank you!&nbsp;I'm so glad we both got what we wanted from this deal. You are right, it is probably more useful in my climate, and I can assure you, I will be wearing it to death. I hope to have it for several seasons. Cheers! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-safari-blazer-seven-ways-for-nancylee#post-937488 Mon, 20 May 2013 21:57:23 +0000 nancylee 937488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am SO happy you love the jacket, Ingunn. &nbsp;It really is absolutely perfect for your style and your coloring. &nbsp;You always make the effort to&nbsp;style each new item in your wardrobe&nbsp;thoughtfully, and this is no exception. &nbsp;I am really impressed by how well it works with everything.<br /><br />Wishing you a long and happy summer with the safari jacket! &nbsp;It will do you much more good in your cooler climate&nbsp;than it did languishing in mine last summer. &nbsp;Cheers to a successful YLF transaction! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-safari-blazer-seven-ways-for-nancylee#post-937479 Mon, 20 May 2013 21:38:31 +0000 Raisin 937479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, this literally works with <b>everything</b>! &nbsp;It looks great on you, nice pick! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-safari-blazer-seven-ways-for-nancylee#post-937471 Mon, 20 May 2013 21:31:11 +0000 Suz 937471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yippee! I was hoping you'd show this a bunch of different ways. I <b>knew</b> it would work really well for you! Isn't that funny -- the way an item might languish in someone else's closet yet become our workhorse?&nbsp;<br /><br />I like it every single way you've shown it, but my favourites are #2 and #5. Fabulous looks! I'll bet it would look good with the butterfly skirt, too.&nbsp;<br /><br />I often have this question also about the items that end up being workhorses. I can't always predict them in advance. I don't really know what it is that sets them apart - they just somehow fill a missing piece that I didn't even know was missing!&nbsp;<br /><br />In this case, I think you are right - it has the right blend of casual and dressy. The fabrication also seems very "you" -- it's not <b>too </b>crisp and not too soft. There's an almost organic&nbsp;texture to it, which plays nicely against crisp graphic stripes. And of course the colour is so versatile as well, and must feel very spring like after a winter of darks. Plus, in your climate, you will probably be wearing it all summer.&nbsp;<br /><br />It is great to know it fits so well. Now you know that this size of jacket will pretty reliably be good for you at BR.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-safari-blazer-seven-ways-for-nancylee#post-937457 Mon, 20 May 2013 21:23:24 +0000 Ingunn 937457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ As you might know, I bought a BR safari blazer from nancylee a couple of weeks ago, and it is was such a bargain for me! It is so comfortable and fits so well I want to use it every day. And why not? It has already proven it's versatility many times over.<br /><br />A few WIWs and WIWWs:<br />#1with pants, from left:<br />a: WIwillW tomorrow: Red skinnies, cream lace shell, red patent flats<br />b: WIW last Wednesday: Cropped black pants, striped Breton, grey pumps<br />c: WIW last Tuesday. Navy draped top, jeans, oxfords<br />d: WIwillW later this week: White jeans, blue silky tee, snakeskin flats<br /><br />#2 With dresses and skirts, from left:<br />a: WIwillW very soon:&nbsp;With the Boss LBD, leopard scarf, flats.&nbsp;<br />b: WIW for our Constitution day: Cobalt dress, white clutch, grey pumps<br />c: WIwillW: Black lace shell, polka dot skirt, snakeskin flats<br /><br />I think this jacket works with 95% of my bottoms, and most&nbsp;tops, too. I love it, and it's already an essential in my wardrobe. Serendipity were&nbsp;at work here! I will continue exploring the possibilities with it, and I've also been pondering on <i>why</i> I find it <i>this</i> useful in my wardrobe. I think it has to do with the level of dressiness (not too formal), the fabrics (cotton/linen with mainly cotton lining), and the ebony color that adds enough contrast to my skin and hair.&nbsp;<br /><br />Thanks for looking. Comments are appreciated as always!&nbsp;<br /><br /><br />
