WiW - Pre YLF Jacket decision too

Thistle

Veteran

So, it was 9F when I left the house this morning, with a high of 15F today. So, I fell back to a warm but half pre-YLF outfit. Everything I have on sans the shoes is from Talbots. However, the jacket and turtleneck were Pre-YLF purchases. I am trying to decide if the jacket stays or goes to the Charity Bag.

The booties are Ecco, and I love them. I like the look of them and the comfort level is through the roof. I am actively looking to replace a pair of basic black loafers and am hoping to find something this comfortable.

Please ignore the silly face. My husband was making me laugh when he was taking the picture.

I think the jacket has potential. Is it a blue or a grey? What does it look like unbuttoned?

It is blue, acually. I will try to get a work bathroom shot of it open!

I think the jacket is ok, it´s kind of a military style...

Another vote to keep the jacket. It's flattering and fits well! The outfit would look lovely with a cravat scarf too.

I like the jacket, I would keep it. I hope you find confortable shoes, that is a struggle for me.

I had never thought of a scarf with this. Thanks Angie. I will see what I can find for this!

Great jacket! I'd encourage you to play in your closet a bit, and treat the blue like its a neutral, not a major "color." Would anyone of your print wrap tops go under it?

The jacket looks great to me!

I think it suits you very well. I'd like to see you try it with a crew neck top underneath rather than the turtleneck, just to open up the neckline a bit. Or a scarf, as Angie suggests. By the way, did you see those shoes that Rae posted earlier today? You did say you wanted some statement shoes

I like this a lot, Thistle! The fit is nice!

Love the idea of it with a scarf, too. Your pre-YLF instincts were good ones -- feel proud!

Me again. I just say DayVies photo from today. Her jacket is very similar to yours, worn with a v neck and pearls. Another idea for you maybe?

Putting in a vote for the Classiques jacket Angie suggested above. I think it would look amazing on you.

I like the jacket -- it fits well and l like the curve of the hem. It's very flattering on you. Keep it.

I was thinking about one of those fab wrap tops under this too.

I will have to give them a try! Thanks so much for the suggestion.
