My dressing MO right now is cool jacket over a tee or tank. I've kind of given up on blazers because I can't find one that fits just right. So it was a pleasant surprise to try on the T Tahari Oriana jacket Angie mentioned in her black & white roundup. I got the last one available at a great price from Nordstrom. As she mentions, it is surprisingly crisp for a knit jacket, and has a blazer-like, tailored integrity.

I loved how April styled her blazer, BF jeans and Everlys, so I thought I would try styling the jacket in a similar, but opposite fashion, swapping out the black and whites on top.

So, YLFers, is this a jacket a keeper? I'm trying really hard to be good, budgetwise, so this jacket needs to be stellar

Jacket: T Tahari Oriana
Tee: James Perse
BF Jeans: GAP
Booties: JC Everly

I've uploaded various photos showing the opening worn different ways. I will wear it open 99% of the time, and never zipped up all the way because it's snug and my neck is too short of that type of neckline!

Thanks for your feedback!

P.S. Please excuse the scary hair!
