I get inspired to be as patient as you. In the long run, I believe it will pay off :- )</p> <p>It is also sooo much easier to keep on looking when you exactly what flatters you and how the best fit is. I'm already learning a lot from this forum </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-572514 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:25:50 +0000 Kirti 572514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UPDATE: I went back and tried it again and while the colour is lovely and it looks great open, the stance is definitely too low. My husband (the angel!) had given me the go-ahead to buy it, since I have been having trouble with blazers, but I somehow could not bring myself to part with €50 for a blazer that isn't perfect. Oh well. The search continues Thank you all for your advice and comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-572511 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:23:16 +0000 Kirti 572511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Manidipa: I did and it gaped a lot more when I sat! It is perfect open, but if I button it, it opens up when I sit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-572451 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 08:46:33 +0000 rute 572451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the watermelon blazer!!!! So pretty! Love how it fits on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-572435 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 06:43:20 +0000 ManidipaM 572435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a huge difference from the earlier ones you tried! This looks smooth and well-fitting, and the colour is really lovely. So excited for you!</p> <p>Like Diana says, the low stance might be immaterial if you're not a button-up girl. That said, did you SIT down in it? Was it still comfy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-572431 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 06:32:47 +0000 Kirti 572431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all I really appreciate how you've all given me so much encouragement and advice :)</p> <p>I really do love the blazer, but it might not be a 10 for my body type, so I'm going to think about it a little. I'm sure that if this isn't THE blazer, I will find something better </p> <p>Mona: I read through the article and even the comments and found them so useful! Thank you!</p> <p>Sunita: Yes, I think a two button blazer might be better. I'll be on the lookout for one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-572220 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 01:28:07 +0000 Sunita 572220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm back, and you've allayed my concerns. Definitely put it on your wish list!</p> <p>If you want jackets that you can button up, you should look for a slightly higher stance, and maybe 2 buttons to "lock and load" the girls!</p> <p>ETA: Glad I didn't offend you with my earlier reply! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-572141 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 23:51:23 +0000 rae 572141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!

I don't know how important the stance is if you plan to wear it open. The color is lovely on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-572115 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 23:12:27 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 572115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the blazer looks great. I love the color on you and it looks nice buttoned but very nice unbuttoned. I am tempted to see if I can order one online I like it so much.</p> <p>Mona thanks for the link to the article. Very good information. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-572078 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 21:56:46 +0000 Mona 572078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might know this already but I thought I would share. <a href="http://www.alterationsneeded.com/2012/02/how-to-find-a-blazer-jacket-that-fits.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.alterationsneeded.c.....-fits.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-572069 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 21:40:06 +0000 Makrame 572069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks very nice! Maybe it will also go on sale by April and be an even better buy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-572066 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 21:36:29 +0000 Janet 572066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it! Delicious color, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-572011 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:28:47 +0000 rachylou 572011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uh, yes, you NEED this. Yes, yes you do ;&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-572008 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:27:59 +0000 Kirti 572008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana: That makes total sense. I did find that it gaped open a bit as I moved - it must be the lower 'stance'. You're right - it definitely hits lower than my natural waist and being an 8 shape, it would emphasise my high hip too. Oof! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-572004 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:22:34 +0000 Diana 572004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kirti, I'm not sure. It could be just the angle of the photo. It looks OK in photo 1, and a bit too low in #3. On me button placement makes a huge difference because I need it to be at my natural waist and not below it. I'm really short waisted and also a high-hip pear, so a too-low button makes the lapels gape outwards and makes me appear wide.</p> <p>At the NYC gathering, when Janet and I were trying on jackets @ Bloomingdale's, Angie mentioned button placement making the "stance" of a one-button blazer being too low as well, so I figured I'd better pay attention to it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-572002 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:20:04 +0000 harmonica 572002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>really, really great colour and great fit. Big yay!! --- and now I'll have to check if there is something similar at Zara's in my town, but NOT buying, just putting in on my wishlist </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-571998 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:15:46 +0000 Kirti 571998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana: Hmm, how bad is it? I didn't think button placement was important </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-571986 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:02:36 +0000 Kirti 571986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Debby :)</p> <p>ETA for Sunita - I just checked and even my go-to blazer blazer (Pic 1) fits just like this one when buttoned. So I'm happy with how it fits. When a blazer pulls on me it REALLY pulls, like the H&amp;M one in Pic 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-571983 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:00:14 +0000 Diana 571983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! It looks like it fits very well through the shoulder and upper arm, which I think is the most important point to fit on a blazer. My one concern is that the button looks slightly too low on you but it could be the angle of the photo. In any case if you are planning to wear it open it does not matter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-571980 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 19:56:49 +0000 Debby 571980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect for you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-571971 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 19:51:03 +0000 Kirti 571971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! On the wish list it goes :)</p> <p>Sunita: I love you for being so concerned the sleeves are a wee bit long, but that is the case with me with most tops and jackets. I didn't roll the sleeves though, the SA told me it is supposed to be styled this way. I can cross my arms, extend them, lift them - I checked! The button didn't feel too tight. I see it does pull a tiny bit but not enough to bother me since I plan to mostly wear it open. What do you think now? Worth it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-571957 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 19:33:32 +0000 Sunita 571957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice color! Are the sleeves rolled up because they are too long? It may be the way you are standing to take the pictures, but it looks like it's pulling a bit at the button--can you move it over a bit to give yourself some room? How does it feel in the shoulder &amp; arms? Can you move about comfortably? Can you cross your arms? Lift them over your head?</p> <p>Sorry if I'm being too hard on you...I just want to make sure you put a real winner on that wish list....you deserve that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-571937 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 19:17:45 +0000 Louise 571937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, yay, yay!

And, the color is fantastic!! I hope it lasts there at H&amp;M for a couple more weeks.</p> <p>ETA: Oops, I see it's at Zara, not H&amp;M. Note to self: get to Zara!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-watermelon-blazer---what-do-you-think#post-571922 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 19:11:10 +0000 modgrl 571922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE IT!!

I guess God heard me! </p> <p>I tried on this Zara jersey blazer today (which crazyone bought after the NYC meetup) and I liked both the colour and fit. Again, can't buy till April, but if you guys like it, I'll put it on my wishlist. What do you say? </p>
