WIW Turquoise and Paisley - YouLookFab Forum

Happy Friday, everyone!
I bought this blazer about a three months ago (pre YLF) and have never worn it. I love this colour blue but had a hard time deciding what to pair with it. I have since learned to ask myself a few questions before purchasing an item on impulse. Does it go with something I already own? For which occasions could I wear this? Does it fit into more than one capsule?

The Credit Union I work for sometimes allows us to wear jeans on Fridays but I have a hard time with that...doesn't feel professional to me, especially when you may need to talk to a client. So, I wore it with my paisley skirt for a casual but still professional look.
Any comments or suggestions for improvement are appreciated.

You look fantastic! I love this color on you and it's a great match for the skirt. Also love the shoes on you and with this outfit.

I like it. I'm a big fan of both paisley and turquoise.

Love it. I think the jacket is fab with the skirt. You could also pair it with jeans for a casual look.

Lovely balzer color and pairing it with that floral skirt is so fresh and Spring! Very nice.

The blazer is super with the skirt. You look so fresh and springlike I cant stand it! The blazer color is very flattering on you, good impulse buy

This looks fab! I can see a lot of possibilities for this blazer to be dressed up or down. You could wear it over a sheath or with jeans.

Gorgeous! A lovely combo, and the blazer looks perfec with the skirt!

For an impulse buy, that blazer is top notch. Beautiful color on you, and so fresh and lovely for spring. It is also a terific fit which is SO hard to find in a blazer.

I really like the lines of this outfit on you. The skirt is an excellent, excellent match with the blazer, and seems like a nice business casual Friday look at a credit union.

Beautiful color, and it's perfect with the skirt! You look great.

Sona

love the blazer with the skirt. great proportions too!

Beth Ann

Beautiful color and a lovely silhouette. I think the nude pumps are a terrific choice for Spring! I tried that jacket, but it didn't look as fab on me as it clearly does on you! I think this jacket would work well with lots of colors --- yellow, clear gray, taupe!

Suz

I absolutely love this on you. Everything about it. The colour, the cut, the way it works with this pretty skirt. You look fresh, springlike, professional, yet fun. This colour would work with all those that Beth Ann mentions, as well as navy. Or orange if you are daring!

I love it all. You look professional & interesting:)

Thanks for the lovely comments and ideas, everyone! Beth Ann, I have yellow and taupe so I will try that. Suz, I have a little orange in my wardrobe so I will try that as well. On a brave day.

Debbie

Love this outfit. That color is perfect for you.

I love it on you. The color is gorgeous with your complexion and the cut is very flattering.
Please wear it more often!

Deborah

How do you I prove perfection:). The colours are lovely and the proportions and fit are great. I think you look stunning.

Beautiful color, can't wait to see a second look with this!!!

Tanya

Beautiful outfit! The blazer color is very pretty on you and I love the combo with that fun skirt.

I absolutely love this combination. I rarely buy print skirts and when I do they are usually a very simple print and neutral. I may have to start shopping for a print skirt in a bold pattern and mimic your outfit. It is very springy and looks "friendly". I know that isn't the right word but it popped into my head and seemed right.

I love this outfit. The paisley skirt is playful and sophisticated all at once -- the colors are heavenly and sweet without looking juvenile. The skirt is my favorite!
