I love this outfit but the recreation is less than perfect. What drew me to it was the silky blazer over the slightly chunky sweater. It's something I don't know that I would have thought to try. Of course the skinnier you are, the less that sort of thing tends to matter. Any woman of size knows that the blousy arms of the sweater would bunch up under the non-stretchy blazer and bind on your upper arms every time you bent them. It hurts. So we tend to choose a filmier top under a blazer just for comforts sake. However, that can be a little chilly. I guess my point is, just because conventional wisdom says something is so, sometimes breaking the tried and true rules yields a new discovery for oneself. Sometimes something that shouldn't work, does; even in the fashion world.
