I adore your version of the Pattern Mix outfit. I love how as the seasons change, you clothing palette changes too.  Tanya on "WIWx6, Spring Tweed Jackets, Part 2" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx6-spring-tweed-jackets-part-2#post-2316390 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 21:47:45 +0000 Tanya 2316390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you all very much for your comments! Jonesy andLyn67, yes, I like mixing old and new. Janet, I remember you having the same striped jacket.  I haven't worn much either, not sure why.  I am trying to be better about it. Suntiger, I think a wool coat in a light color is a must for early spring. Bonnie, thanks - #5 was a bit experimental for sure. BlueJay, that is one of my favorite shades of blue, too!  Unfortunately, I find light blues very hard to match, so many different undertones. Suz, much appreciated!  I like the checks+stripes combo, too, and will to repeat it in other versions. Angie, glad you liked the first work outfit.   I felt a bit strange wearing those shoes to work, but nobody said anything. Jamie, thank you!  Brooklyn, I am very much on the pattern-mixing wagon this spring. Indigoprint and ChristelJ, houndstooth and cargos together sound strange yet I think it worked out quite well.

I love #4 and #8 especially. I adore houndstooth and how you have added casual touches like the cargos and the crossbodies.

All great but the houndstooth with cargos is my fav. lyn67 on "WIWx6, Spring Tweed Jackets, Part 2" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx6-spring-tweed-jackets-part-2#post-2316357 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 18:06:53 +0000 lyn67 2316357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, some great options here, I especially love the first line-you cover a lot of trends and are a pro in combining new and olds-you  styled key pieces so very beautiful!

It's incredible. The depth! The range!  These are all great, but I especially love 4, 8, and 9 for that adventurous pattern mix in such fresh spring colours. True, it's not as bold as the original but in some ways it is even more unexpected and I love a check with a stripe.  I also admire the way you dress for cool spring in layers but in lighter colours as befitting the new brighter light of the season. It's both creative and responsive to the environment and a real testament to the value of a larger closet in many ways. You always, always have options.  BlueJay on "WIWx6, Spring Tweed Jackets, Part 2" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx6-spring-tweed-jackets-part-2#post-2316073 Sat, 01 Apr 2023 02:27:13 +0000 BlueJay 2316073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow! Lots of great outfits Tanya! I love that shade of blue of the pleated skirt!! Look at all the fabulous tweed. I'm coming over to shop your closet!

What a great collection. I sold my VB jacket like the one you’re wearing in 9. I liked it but never reached for it for some reason, and just felt like I’d had my time with it. It’s nice to see it on you though! Jonesy on "WIWx6, Spring Tweed Jackets, Part 2" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx6-spring-tweed-jackets-part-2#post-2316039 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 23:51:06 +0000 Jonesy 2316039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You really do have a magical closet, Tanya! It's so fun to see all of these mixes, with old and newer pieces! My faves are #4 and #8, but they are all fab. Tanya on "WIWx6, Spring Tweed Jackets, Part 2" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx6-spring-tweed-jackets-part-2#post-2316037 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 23:31:15 +0000 Tanya 2316037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Here is the 2nd part of my mini two-week challenge to wear all of my spring appropriate tweed jackets.  With the exception of the blazer, which is from last year, most of the jackets here are fairly old, in 5-10 years range.   I am guessing that the navy tweed Gap moto is about 10 years old! There is one more version of the short jacket/wide pants formula, two of utility pretty formula, two more swooshy skirt outfits, and finally, a pattern-mixed outfit inspired by the similar outfit formula Angie posted last year (added the inspiration photo at the end). 1) This work outfit (#1-2) is a grey version of the short jacket/wide pants formula, with cropped pearl grey tweed jacket, grey plaid wide pants with side yellow stripe, white tee, silver loafer/sneaker hybrids, cream coat, grey tote and floral silk scarf.   I think of these shoes as sneakers but the manufacturer calls them loafers, not sure what is the correct classification.   Sneakers are not allowed at work, so this was me slightly pushing the limits. The next two outfits are variations of utility pretty where I chose the shoes to take them in the opposite directions. In the first version I went with pretty/dressy heeled shoes with dressy blazer.   In the second I went the opposite way with cream combat boots, as I feel this particular jacket is very classic and needed all the possible edging-up it could get. 2) (#4) Tweed navy/cream blazer over a cream knit, cream linen cargo joggers, heeled cream/tan shoes, pewter cross body bag 3) (#5) Navy tweed jacket with cram piping and navy lace trim over leopard graphic tee, stone tencel cargo joggers, cream combat boots and cream cross body. Then, we have two versions of short tweed moto +pleated midi skirt.   In the first version I used high top sneakers again, which I am more comfortable with.  In the second, I experimented with chunky loafers + textured socks look as shown on the blog post, and I'm still undecided if I like the look or not. 4) (#6-7): Cream cropped tweed moto over light blue gingham tee, light blue pleated skirt, blue plaid high top sneakers, pearl grey cross body. 5) (#8): Navy cropped tweed moto over white tee, navy houndstooth pleated skirt, navy chunky loafers with navy socks, navy cross-body. 6) Finally, here is an outfit inspired by "Pattern Mix outfit" from last year's tweed jacket formula (#10).  My outfit (#9) is less adventurous than the original.  The third pattern, instead of socks,  is a polka dot neckerchief scarf, which I realize is completely hidden by my phone.  My version is  navy/white instead of black/white and has cropped pants instead of shorts.   It consists of navy striped tweedy blazer/moto hybrid jacket worn over a simple cream knit, navy gingham crop kick flare pants, polka dot mini scarf and cream boots.
