First of all - thank you SO MUCH for sharing your thoughts and advice. They are invaluable to me. I learn a lot every time I post, for instance have I never thought that a white blazer could resemble a lab coat! Hereabouts, lab coats are wide, long, unlined and resembles nothing but what they are. So to me, a slight lab coat association would only be important when I post pics to show you, my American friends. I'll keep that in mind. I had never heard of Good Humor outfits, either, but now I know. Thanks, Unfrumped and Ceit

I actually wore the blazer to work today, with a breton and black cropped pants. The blazer might not be a 10, but to me, it is a good starting point for experimenting with this look. My four family members are all very positive, too, aka the fashion police (aged 45, 19, 16 and 14). As far as I'm concerned, this thrifted jacket is in line with the playful part of my style descriptor, if nothing else. I strongly believe in, and enjoy playing with fashion. It's not my goal to be trendy at all times, nor fashion forward, but I'd like to remain current. What I don't enjoy, is too many rules, so I try not to mind them too much if I notice any. My challenge with this jacket is to make it mine, and to see if I can mould it into my wardrobe to my content. If I find a better looking blazer along the way (which I agree is very probable), it will be very simple to return this one to the Salvation Army. For now, I'm quite happy with the result. Thanks again!
I love it & I vote keep, although I do prefer it undone. That isn't an issue as I'm sure you will wear it undone mostly anyway. It is exactly what I have been looking for. The long length is in now. Just see Emmanuel Alt. I posted a K/R today of a similar jacket that cost a lot more. Maybe I should have had patience & gone thrifting.
