There is just something about this jacket that im not liking. You have have great style and can find something better out there in my opinion.

Ally S · Kate Spade

I am sorry but it is unflattering.

Something about it is off. I've been looking for this style too but the color or something just doesn't work for me. Maybe if the detailing were a bit more ornate I would like it.

When this jacket first came out, so many people on this thread thought it was great. I thought it was just ho-hum. I didn't even like it in the store. I thought the colors were not great, that lavender and mint green...not for me. I don't go for buttons like that either, what a hassle to button them all up, especially if your in a hurry.

i like it, although i think i prefer it not buttoned or half buttoned. have u tried buttoning it just a few buttons in the middle?

Lilykind · Hermes

I think you should return it.

I definitely think the style was great...but the execution was off. I have never been terribly fond of Gap's quality, as I find that they tend to make their blazers and non-outerwear jackets out of ridiculously lightweight material. I owned the herrinbone blazer from last year and while the fit and style was cute, the fact that it was unlined and made of stretchy material...well at Gap's price point, IMO the least I can expect is a lining or at least a more 'jacket-like' material.

I voted "no" but girl your poll is kinda harsh! I hated to click the button!!! But i think you can do better and it's not like it's cheap or anything...but something is off for sure, it's not you, it's the jacket.

Metric · Gucci

I like the style but I think the color is a little "blah" for you.

Alegria · Kate Spade

Thanks so much for the opinions gals. I knew you would steer me the right way. Now does anyone know where I can find something similiar but cuter???

I got a REALLY cute military style blazer from Zara- it was $89 though. But I love it! It is cream with brown pinstripes and buttons on both sides, hook and eyes in the middle.

eta: here it is- less crinkly looking in the sleeves and body when i'm not twisting for photos. I am wearing it with my new skirt from my shopping rampage!
