Is this jacket a 10? Looking for feminine oxfords?

I have a lot of blazers, but not a lot of ones with a print. Got this at H&M for $30 so while not a lot, don't want to keep if not amazing. I do like that I think it will go with a lot of colors, what do you all think of the arm patches? Is it fitted enough while open?

And I would also like to point out what I think are the most amazing shoes ever : ) Got these at the Nordstrom sale last night - http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ci.....ltback=252

I have tried on a few oxfords, and while I love them on others have found them to feel a bit masculine for my style. Then I slipped these beauties on and I may never take them off! Hope you all like as much as I do!

(I also picked these up and find them to be amazing as well - http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/ci.....29-0-0-1-2)

Thanks!

I like the hem of the jacket, and the elbow patches -- are the sleeves a little roomy? Somehow it looks like they might be in the first pic.

Those are excellent shoes!

P.S. You might want to check your first link -- it appears to be a yummy recipe rather than yummy shoes.

I really like the blazer and the shoes. I think you've nailed this look!

ha ha, link fixed - thanks!

love them both Amy! I too prefer oxfords that are more on the feminine side.

I've seen that blazer on a number of blogs lately, it is quite popular and for good reason. You look fab in it. The patch sleeves are fun! Great new shoes too.

Those shoes are amazing, love, love, love. I really like the jacket, but I don't think the roomy arms and not super close fit at the waist are doing your figure justice.

I love the jacket on you but would like to see it ala Ralph Lauren with crisp white shirt or turtleneck and boots. It seems as if a classic way of wearing it would really suit you.

Darling shoes!

Great jacket. What does it look like buttoned?. Side view of jacket is very flattering. A crisp white shirt would look great. I am very used to seeing you in color so this is a bit of a change:). I would love to some other styling options. The heeled oxfords are stunning.

I like the jacket, but I think I'd prefer something a bit more fitted for you; I almost bought this jacket as well, but ultimately decided the arms and shoulders were too baggy. So I think it'll depend on what you plan to layer underneath it. If you'll be doing a lot of sweaters and thicker stuff it should fit nicely; if you'll be doing thin shells and the like it may be too roomy?

How does the sizing on the oxfords run? I was looking at those as well, they're awesome!

Isn't it fun when you find something you LOVE? I call it "purchase euphoria."

Ah, I just love mixed reviews : ) Makes the decision so hard. I've added another photo to give a a better idea for anyone else who wants to weight in. For $30 I think given the good feedback I may go ahead and keep - I love greengloves and deborah's suggestions for the white turtleneck or button down so may play around with those before making a final decision.

@Aida - I would say they run on the bigger side- I wear an 8, sometimes 8.5 and the 8 fit great- but I noticed some of the reviews said they ordered a half size down. So if you toggle between sizes, I would just order the smaller one, and if not, maybe want to go a half size down.

I love the elbow patches and the cut. It's really cute on you. It reminds me of the one Angie posted. For $30, it seems like a great way to test out the style without breaking the bank.

Love the blazer, but the fit on you looks a little big except when you are holding it in the last photo. Sorry to add to the confusion!
