Review: Ann Taylor Modern Tweed Jacket

Top: Ann Taylor factory {old} – size XXSP
Skirt: Ann Taylor {last year} – size 00P (similar here and here)
Shoes: Classiques Entier – size 5 (buy here)
Necklace: Pearls (similar here)
Brooch: Vintage Chanel

I fell in love with this jacket when I first saw it online. As soon as I noticed the cropped cut and how reminiscent it was to the Theory Gratian blazer, I didn’t even think twice about ordering it.

MEASUREMENTS:
Shoulder to shoulder = 13″
Armpit to armpit = 15″
Sleeves = 22″
Total length at the shortest point = 15″
Longest point = 17″

MATERIAL: 100% cotton – it’s really stiff and almost feels like a thick linen fabric. I didn’t like the material. I wish it was as softer cotton. 
SIZE: 00P – this runs super small ( you may need to size up) which is great for someone smaller than me. The sleeve length fits with no alterations. I love the cropped style and  it looks great with both a pencil skirt and jeans/pants.
COLOR: The color is called coral reef. It’s a stunning color and can add great color to your wardrobe.

I could have done without the zipper detail but I guess that’s what makes it a “modern” style. The price is very steep so wait for a sale if you can. 
VERDICT: Undecided. Trying to figure out if I will wear it often enough and if I can live with the stiff material. 
What are your thoughts on this modern tweed jacket?

  1. I do love the colour and length on you but the material is really not good plus the shoulders look a little big – you can do better!

  2. I like the color and the look of the tweed, but I'm not really a fan of the silhouette it gives. It seems to have a strong shoulder (which in general, I love), but in combination with the cropped look, it seems rather dated, IMO. You can do better!

  3. I love the color but not too sure about the strong shoulder. I say you can find something better.

  4. love the jacket! the color is a classic one, easy to incorporate in future outfits (from other seasons). I hope you will keep it.

  5. This jacket is not talking to me, Annie. I want to love it but just can't. I agree with you that the material is stiff. I saw it in store and didn't even bother trying it on because of the material. The sleeves seem too roomy too. Love your vintage Chanel brooch though. lol.

  6. I think I like the Theory silhouette better. Even this is a little too cropped for your body – and you are super short!

  7. I adore it- I think that you could wear it so many ways. And even though I'm not petite (5'7" and a size 8), I absolutely love your blog. And I show it to my friends because your styling is impeccable. 🙂

  8. Not a fan. Like someone earlier, it reminds me of the 80s. The cropped look is not flattering this time around.

  11. Hi there this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if
    you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but
    have no coding experience so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
    Any help would be enormously appreciated!

  12. Its like you read my mind! You appear to grasp a lot about this,
    like you wrote the e book in it or something. I believe that you just could do with a few percent to drive the
    message house a bit, but instead of that, that
    is excellent blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.

  13. I am curious to find out what blog platform you are working with?

    I’m having some small security issues with my latest website and I would like to find something more safeguarded.
    Do you have any recommendations?

  14. It is appropriate time to make some plans for the future and it’s time to
    be happy. I have read this post and if I could I wish to suggest
    you few interesting things or advice. Perhaps you could write next articles referring to this article.
    I wish to read even more things about it!
