What I Wore Chore Jacket - YouLookFab Forum

Let me start off by saying that I am without a laptop and have been for a few weeks. I am typing this on my tablet. Not a great way of doing it.

A couple of days ago I tried out the chore jacket with the cropped jeans. I was not happy with the result and decided a shorter jacket that was more fitted would have worked better. I have added this to my shopping list.

Chore Jacket - The Loft
Jeans - Esser
T-Shirt - RE/DONE
Birkenstock sandals - Gizeh

All comments welcome!!!! I am packing for Montreal and deciding what to take.

I like it with those jeans. I do think a shorter fitted jacket would work too but these chore jackets seem very versatile to me.

April

The chore jacket is a look that takes some getting used to. I have two and both at first made me feel sloppy. FWIW, I think yours looks good.

My savvy son assures me that volume over volume is *the* look right now.

Preppy Pear

I love it! I am all about relaxed silhouettes and volume. From the picture, I like where the jacket hits you.

And very 2019

You have graceful hair, and wear Birkies beautifully.

Runcarla

Works for me as is, Stylefan. Have you tried it with your Jessi Kams?

PS: Did you manage to avoid the flooding in your area? You look high and dry in your photo.

This is PERFECT ! I love it. I've been meaning to try that Clinique lipstick too.....

JAileen

I really like this. I like the fit, but also the color scheme.

Suz

Oh, I think both pieces would be great to take to Montreal. The pants are so fab on you and very current.

I like that it's free of big breast pockets, and it works to my eye.
Would the gizehs work for narrow feet?

Alicewonderland

I think it looks great. Yes it is a silhouette to get used to, but you pull it off really well.

Jane

I like this look, and as April’s son says, it is volume on volume. But to me it looks balanced and right. The birkies are a super too!

Joy

I like this as a wonderful look. A more fitted jacket would be something else. I really love your amber jewelry.

Jenni NZ

It looks wonderful to me as is! Love those earrings too x

Thank you everyone! This outfit is going into the Montreal capsule. I am hoping for warmer weather than today.
Robin, you are right about the chore jacket being versatile. I am trying it with my not so skinny jeans as well.
Thanks April. Savvy son's are always in the know.

Preppy Pear, this is one of the shorter chore jackets I have seen. I prefer that look with wide legged cropped pants.
Angie, the Killer outfit is in the suitcase! Thank you for the compliment about my hair. The wind was blowing in the right direction.
Carla, I am going to wear it with my Jessie Kamm pants. I think it will work. We are on the river but up high. Very thankful our house is not water level. Houses on the other side are all flooded and the road closed. Quite a sight.
Thanks Lisa. The Clinque lipstick is my favourite right now.
Thanks, JAileen. I have added black to my wardrobe and it is working out very well.
Good to hear Suz. I bought these pants in Montreal last winter.
Suntiger, the gizehs are narrower than the Arizona birks. It is a different footbed. I find my Arizona ones are a bit sloppy and harder to keep on my feet for walking.
Thanks Alice!
Thank you Jane. Getting the balance right is sometimes tricky with new silhouettes.

Thank you Joy and Jenni. I always wear a piece of Amber. Tradition.

Sal

I think you look great - I also think cropped would work. You wear these wide legs so well!!

Synne

I don't think I've seen your WIW's before, you look great! Relaxed, classic, trendy, a little folksy. I actually think you resemble Joni Mitchell and Laura Dern. Very laid back movie star on a yoga retreat!

Firecracker (Sharan)

I like this look, StyleFan! That chore jacket is perfect for you--nice shape and color!

Thank you Sal. I will be taking a few pairs of wide legged crops on my trip.
Synne, I haven't posted in awhile. Mr. SF and his friends loved Joni Mitchell in the 60s and 70s. I am very flattered.
Thanks Firecracker. I haven't worn this much. Maybe this will be the year.

Mainelady

I really like the combo! Your chore jacket is not too big or bulky. It has very nice structure to it and I think that works with the crop pants very well. Gorgeous hair, Style Fan!
