I've been scarce since Monday -- two 11 hour teaching days (love teaching, but sheesh).
I'm standing behind the leader, our dear Angie, on this one (safest place to be, but I also think I see what she means). I like the jacket here in 3-6 best. The proportion is not what we've been used to in recent years, but it looks fresh to my eye. I don't think your legs look short here -- the jacket just looks longer, if that makes sense. I felt the same way in Diana's post, and I have just one of these jackets, that will get lots of wear this year.
I totally get the idea of fabrication being crucial. "Feeling" good in a suit is rare, and I wouldn't buy something that didn't flow and feel good to the touch. The BR suit does do that well, I agree.
Speaking for myself, I still like shorter AND longer jackets, but I'm wanting them to either have a feminine, almost retro, fit OR have the lower stance, looser fit with a bolder shoulder line, and gentle shaping through the torso that I'm seeing reemerge.
To sum up:
1. Follow your bliss - happiness factor is first
2. I do think Angie has a point about jacket shape.
3. LOVE the idea of a dark navy suit for you
4. Maybe DH is right. I have two chambray jackets, and I wear them both.
Oh, and I'm a firm believer that it's OK to remain undecided until the answer asserts itself. I love the fact that you're counting down.......57 days, 56 days....
