Could i pull off this BF blazer?

Louise

I've got a BF blazer bee im bonnet!
I'm rather atracted to this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-GORG.....4a98e53ee9
But do you think i could pull it off and will i struggle to find things to wear it with? Will it need plain partners only or would it go with a flowery dress? x

I think you absolutely could pull it off. I am not completely familiar with your personal style and taste, but I could see it with the right patterned dress. It sounds like you like it a lot. It's a little different than the the straight forward plain colored BF blazers. It will definitely get you noticed, it is a not a wallflower jacket that is for sure. But I really like it! I think the coloring is good for you, too.

Hi Louise

I love your ability to find unique items on eBay! I also love the idea of trying this with a flowery dress, quite daring but it could work. Or pairing it with another striped item (a very thin, subtle stripe).
You know I adore stripes, the only thing I'm not sure about is the red lining on this particular blazer. Also: it looks quite masculine in the pictures, so I'd try to add feminine elements.

I could definitely see you wearing something like this. I think it would work with large scale floral dresses as well as solids. I also think it would fabulous with a patent belt.

Louise, you know I love your fearless fashion nature, but I'm worried about this BF blazer in a candy stripe (as opposed to a pinstripe). It isn’t very versatile and vertical stripes like that make you dizzy, PLUS the pink cuffs are limiting. I vote pass :0(
