the classiques ivory jacket with olive leather sleeves got a lot of love on the forum.

http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ts-edition

but i still haven't had the burning desire to wear it and i'm still confused about how to wear it, besides how it's styled in #1 and the last photo in #2.

i have annagybe's jacket in a blush coming to me (#3--first photo) as well as as the zara white leather jacket, also inspired by annagybe (#3--second photo). now i have too many jackets and can keep only one of these. without being able to see me in the jackets, which one would be most flexible for work and play?

Well I love the blush one, but the main thing is you don't seem really thrilled with the first one and I think you should hold out for one you want to wear right away.

Hmm, that's tough. What colors do you usually wear and what's your lifestyle? For me, the blush one would get the most wear, followed by the one with olive sleeves, but that's largely due to my coloring and personal style preferences.

i tend to dress monochromatic. i have yellow/olive undertones with light-medium tone, esp at the end of the summer. can i wear the blush one with monochrome neutrals like black/grey/navy, which is 75% of my closet.

i also feel that i should have #1 because it is more versatile...the equivalent of veggies. while the other jackets are more about my imaginary lifestyle. realistically, 80% of the time, i would be wearing these jackets to work or work events or conferences.

The Zara jacket will probably be the most versatile. But my love is for the Classiques colour block

Well, I think I vote to return #1, just based on the fact that you've had it for some time, it's gotten forum love, but you still don't love it and reach for it. Even a vegetable orphan is still an orphan. :T

I can't wait to see the blush one, and I do think you can make it work and conference appropriate, no problem. I can see it over the pants outfit in #1 easily. It has really clean lines and, while the woven leather is edgy, it's not Mad Max edgy or anything that would make it feel too casual or aggressive for work IMO.

I like the white Zara also, but first impression is that it is more biker-ish, which I have always associated with rebels. Most people probably don't think that way, but like I said in Suz's post, I tend to think of The Wild One, Hell's Angels, and stuff like that.

I don't think #1 is as versatile, you don't love it, colorblock will date at some point. The blush one & white ones are both great options. They are both neutral. Which color suits you or your wardrobe better? To me the white isn't too edgy because of the color. In black I would say it is. I don't know your dress code at work though.

I like either jacket on #3. I seems you have owned the others for a while. I tend to return without hesitation if I still have doubts after a while. I'd rather regret returning something that throwing money away on something I might not wear.

You're making this hard! I love the fit and style of the CE best. I'd wonder about the longevity of colorblock sleeves though.

For more styles, it looks like you could wear it over the skirt outfit in #1 Left too. You *should* be able to wear it practically anythime you'd wear the all white in #1, or the white moto in #3.

I just returned my blush moto because I found a dirty white one that appeals more to my neutral love. Blush IS a color and potentially less versatile.

Zara white would be my next choice for you. Here's where my pre-diry white gave me liberty to wear for fun (and work) without stress (I have a way of getting sleeve edges very grubby)

ETA: I just looked into the CE one and saw that thetorso is fabric. That makes it more comfortable, but maybe less exciting. . .not sure.

Another vote here to return the CE. I think either jacket in 3 would be more versatile.

I really like #1, but if you're not wearing it, you won't wear it. Given that, I'd choose Zara #3.

I loved so many of your darker jackets, and I love the colorblock one. But if you don't you need to send it back and get what you WILL wear. Excited to see the new options!

I'd hold off and see how the Improvd plays with your coloring.
