In April, I’m working my way through the iffy pieces in my closet, deciding whether they spark joy or should head to the clothing swap.  Yes, I am keeping track of the votes and at the end of the month, I’ll have the Survivor Finale!  Your opinion matters.  I say that, and I’m not running for anything, so you know it’s true.  Here’s the latest piece to evaluate: my J Crew striped blazer.

I hardly wore it all winter and I’m not sure why.  I LOVE stripes.  I love orange.  I love navy.  But listen, I have 51 people showing up in 15 minutes so I’m just going to lay out all the shots and then you tell me whether it’s a SPARK or SWAP!  GO!

Even the dog seems to question it.

    I like it, however you have better pieces.

    So unsure. In some pics, looks great. In others, fit looks off. I’m going with keep though.

    Despite being a quality brand, I feel the fit is not flattering at all. It’s too short and boxy and the sleeves are an awkward length, neither 34 nor bracelet length … they just look wrong.

  4. Your a navy stripe girl….not black. It’s seriously cute but something about it makes me think no, it’s not Nicole. It’s bugging me. Wear it in real life to supper club next week and I”ll let you know for sure!

  5. You make it look great, but i don’t think it’s very versatile. If you have other outfit ideas to go with it, i say spark…..if not swap. 🙂

    The length of the sleeves are off. Swap.

    I say keep – I think it looks flattering. Perhaps style it with a navy dress or see what else inspires you on Pinterest.

    Something about the piece seems off. Let it go!
