I would go with the honey colored jacket now in stock at Talbots. The color is similar but it is a more classic style and fit while a bold color. It is more wearable and professional-looking than this jacket. Just my 2 cents.

I love, love, love it, but Nanette isn’t kind to those of us who are working with more than a B cup.

Shoulder pads come, and shoulder pads go, then they come back again. Same with waist heights. For a few years they’re low, then they come up again. How else can the next generation make euw-face about what their mom’s wore when they were young? How else can the fashion houses sell us a bunch of new jackets when the old ones are perfectly good, but are now out of fashion? They gotta get us out there buying new stuff.

As for the yellow jacket, love it, but would only wear it over a plain dress. Shirt-and-skirt convergence showing in that inverted V gap = too much going on in one place.

Am I the only one who is disappointed to see the return of shoulder pads this year? Did we not learn from the ’80′s?!

I cannot think of a single situation in which having a “less curvy rear” is a good thing.

Love the jacket – ruffles, asymmetrical lapels, and all. It’s more than I want to spend when it is already so cold and a blazer needs to cover more real estate, but I do think it’s lovely.

Smoking. Love it. Will watch this to see if it goes down in price.. Might be my after-Christmas present to myself. This is a “splurge” that doesn’t equate to my mortgage payment. Yay, Corporette!
