I don't wear a lot of jackets.  I love the look of them; I love how they can dress up the look of an outfit.  But I don't leave the house enough to really invest in one.  Plus, I am naturally warm and don't need the extra insulation.

During my free 30-day trial of Gwynnie Bee, I decided to go ahead and try some blazers.  I usually have fit issues with areas like the bust and hips, so I wasn't expecting much from the blazers in my virtual closet.


Then I received the Upper West Blazer from Mynt 1792. (See me in the Lower Eastside Tux Jacket here.)  The fit was fantastic.  No bulky bust, not tight on my hips, not too tight when I cinched it with the little buckle, and the sleeves weren't too long.  The material is a soft sueded fabric with a polyester lining. It is thin enough that I didn't get over-heated. (For reference, I  am a 26/28 and wore this jacket in a 4X.)
