Jacket lust - YouLookFab Forum

I just saw this jacket on Brooks Brothers and swooned. I have another jacket from that same line (Stellita fit) and it fits me to a T, but I bought it on deep discount for a fraction of the price (under $150). The color is my absolute favorite color.

I do travel to conferences several times per year and have a business capsule wardrobe that I maintain for that purpose, but I usually bring neutral jackets (black, gray), both for versatility and because the dress code is somewhat conservative (doctors). I'm not sure I could get the same wear out of a very colorful jacket ( I work from home and spend all day with kids so my everyday wardrobe is pretty casual - it's not a great for for my non-business wardrobe).

If I did get it, it would be a bit of a repeat too, since I have a knit blazer in a similar color (first image here: http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-motg-look).

Sigh, if I were made of money....

That color is very lust-worthy. I'm afraid to look at the price because I'm really tempted too.

I want a jacket that colour, too. It is gorgeous and would be lovely on you.

I think this jacket would be perfectly acceptable at a conference for doctors. It's beautiful.

I am drooling also - great color. Sounds like you don't really need it, though.

This kind of thing - fitted traditional blazers, especially wool ones - is something that I find all the time at thrift and consignment stores and on ebay. I think like high heels it's an item that people buy and then just don't wear that much, so the secondhand items are often in great shape. I have given serious though to starting to collect vintage Pendleton blazers from ebay and thrift stores, because they are so lovely and seem indestructible.
