  I am so impressionable.  I am now heading to e-bay to look for a jacket. 

  In other words, it looks great and also should work with a multitude of looks from casual to professional to date night.  Nice find Rae.

  I need a macro on my computer for "Holy cow, Rae!  You honest-to-God look better every single time you post!"  ;)

• MsMaven replied 10 years ago

  Thanks for showing us how it should be done.  Inspirational!

• ironkurtin replied 10 years ago

  Very nice!

  Now how would you wear a collared shirt with that?

• Nicole D replied 10 years ago

  Stunning.  Ebay gods have smiled on you!

• Deborah replied 10 years ago

  Stunning!  I love how the jacket looks a little different on each of it's owners:)

  Dana, I personally think a collared shirt would diminish the fabness of this jacket.

  Great outfit Rae! 

• Caro in Oz replied 10 years ago

  You look great rae - love the shoes.
  IK - you made me laugh.

• MsLuna replied 10 years ago

  Looking good Rae!

  The Theory Lanai seems like such a popular item here in YLF. Good to see you rocking it too!

  I love your style Rae! You look fantastic!

• MuseumGal replied 10 years ago

  So sharp!

• Jaime replied 10 years ago

  That jacket is a wonder!

• Thistle replied 10 years ago

  You look spectacular! eBay gods smiled on you, indeed!

• Suz replied 10 years ago

  Gorgeous, Rae. 

  And IK, it is no problem if you are willing to button said collared shirt. That's how I roll, anyway. 

  Actually, I haven't yet decided whether or not to keep my Lanai. But that's how I would roll, theoretically, if I kept my Theory. :-)

  Oh, rae. I just love this one too. You are so stylish. 

• pil replied 10 years ago

  Very striking!

• kellygirl replied 10 years ago

  Holy smokes! You look amazing!

• catgirl replied 10 years ago

  YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!  Yet another twin item!  I love this on you and I guarantee you will find it infinitely useful.

• Neel replied 10 years ago

  The cut of this jacket is sooooo flattering!  Love the striped handbag!  YLF!

  I'm loving your latest style evolution!

• replied 10 years ago

  Your outfits just keep on hitting it out of the ball park lately. You look great Rae.

• ironkurtin replied 10 years ago

  How do you button all the way without choking to death? Maybe my problem is having a short squat neck.

• Joy replied 10 years ago

  One of your best ever! I love everything about this, from the sparkle of your leaf necklace and bangles to your scrunchy skinnies and strappy shoes. You look gorgeous!

• Parsley replied 10 years ago

  Oh my goodness! Just when I think you couldn't look any better you come along with another even more stunning look.
  This is DYNAMITE! That jacket couldn't look better on you. Gorgeous outfit!

• Angie replied 10 years ago

  Killer

  I love the feminine shoes with the outfit. That makes the look to my eye. 

• Amy replied 10 years ago

  The whole look is stunning, Rae! YLF!

• Diana replied 10 years ago

  Nice!  I am so tempted to try the lanai too.  (Not as a suit, just the jacket).

• Debra replied 10 years ago

  What a stylish but comfortable looking outfit, love it :)

• TraceyLiz65 replied 10 years ago

  Love this and that handbag is amazing!!!

• Vicki replied 10 years ago

  In reality, you were meant for Theory!  Stunner of an outfit.  What size are you?  I "think" I'm a 2 (in the Gabe B, anyway), and I'm not sure how differently your Lanai is cut from the Gabe.

• Elizabeth P replied 10 years ago

  So... this jacket looks so fab on so many people, I'm also checking out eBay. :)  Can you, or anyone else, comment on the sizing?  Compared to somethng we probably all know, like BR?  Hmm, maybe I should start a thread for that...

  Oh, sorry, I was awestruck.  I want MaryK's macro, cuz it's true!

• rae replied 10 years ago

  Vicki and Elizabeth, I wear a size 2 shirt in Brooks Brothers, 0-2 in Ann Taylor tops, 6 in Karen Millen, 2 in Tahari, XXS in Danier, XS in my Banana tops, XS in the Nordstrom Nexx silk blouse, and I think I was a 2 in the last Gap blazer I tried on (don't currently own any). 

  In the Lanai, I take a 6! The 4 fit and looked nice, but it did not leave much room for movement in the shoulders. And I typically find most shoulders cut too big for me. 

• catgirl replied 10 years ago

  What Rae said.  I'm one size up from Rae in most items and I'm an 8 in this blazer - Theory runs insultingly small IMHO, but it's worth the insult.

• Jeanie replied 10 years ago

  Nordies has a Navy Blue pinstripe Lanai on sale for 60% off right now!  I would pull the trigger but sounds like I won't fit the brand from the comments.  Hope someone else can take advantage!

• Vicki replied 10 years ago

  Thanks, Rae and Una, for clarifying sizing.  That's a pretty interesting range in sizes, which doesn't make shopping online any easier.  I love the way this jacket looks on both of you.
