The fit on that jacket is absolutely great to my eye! The only thing I am a bit unsure on is the color (you look really good in bright, bold colors, so I hesitate with the soft neutral) but I think with the spring/summer coming up this color would be useful and you can pair it with bright tops. And for that price, it's a steal! Very cool oxfords, too.

Makrame: Yay thanks! I will definitely pair it with brights - I don't usually do softer colours either, so this is a change for me too! :) and thanks, I've had my eyes on the two toned trend for a while, it is nice to finally get my hands on a pair!

The shoes are adorable - menswear but still a nice feminine cut so not too heavy looking - hope that makes sense.
Great deal on the jacket! I can see you popping that with some color :)

The fit of the blazer looks great! I love how you wear bright colors, but I like this soft neutral too. I think it will work well paired with a bright top. Love your Oxfords too!

christieanne: I know exactly what you mean! My other oxfords are chunkier and much more 'masculine looking' so I like the dainty look of these too :) and thanks, I am looking forward to pairing the jacket with brights!
Astrid: Yay I'm so glad! After struggling so much with blazers, I finally found one! And thanks, I am in love with them :)

It's the luck of the Irish! (Irish or not today)
I love the color of the blazer, it will go with so much more as a neutral and can be a real work-horse for you. Great shoes too.

Very smart outfit--the shoes look like they'd pair up well with a skirt. Love the vibrancy of the pants--either pale shirts or bold-coloured tops (blues and purples) would work really well.

Awesome luck! Now that's worth a pot of gold *and* a rainbow! Indeed, it makes me muse how a pair of green pants would fit so well between that blazer and those oxfords ... :-) But your cheery red ones will be great too!

Yay! So happy for your scores after the recent frustration - love the oxfords!

tracina: Ooh I didn't even think of that :D yes, it is a real stroke of luck since I've been getting super frustrated with jackets off late! And thanks, I'm hoping to get a lot of use out of both :)
Alicat: Whee! Thanks :D
dissertante: I actually wore this outfit with a different topper today, but glad to know the blazer looks good with the black-yellow combo too :) I'd love to try blue with these pants - thanks for the idea!
Manidipa: Ooh they would! Oh no, now I want a pair of kelly green pants! :P
rae: Thanks! I really did get disheartened over the blazer fit fiasco and now, look at this! And for just €5 :D

Yay Kirti! I'm so glad you bought those oxfords. And this jacket is just amazing on you. The fit in the shoulders is just perfect and it looks expensive--great find! It will be a great "summer white" for you. You probably won't ever need to button it and if you want to save some money, just roll the sleeves and scrunch away! I'd say you made VERY good use of your March clothing budget!

Claire: Whee! I'm so glad that you like it! Yes, I'm planning to roll and scrunch for now, since I have no money left for alteration :P I will get them altered at some point though.

I LOVE your blazer! It fits you perfectly and I love the stripes! Weren't you just having trouble with blazer's fitting? Wow, not this one. See...the other ones were the blazer's problem, not you. :-) This one is amazing! Also, your shoes are amazing! I'm definitely jealous of your purchases today!

Jem: Yes I was! And I agree, all the other blazers were losers :P I'm lucky that I found this one. Thanks so much :)
