Is this a classic piece?
So, it has been a lifelong challenge for my mother and I to shop together... yesterday, her and my aunt came to town for the Fabulous Food Show and some shopping at Westfield Southpark. My aunt was buying some new clothes, and we all decided that this particular piece looked great on her - so she bought it. BUT, while we were in the fitting room, my mother and I got into an argument... one of us thinks this is a "classic" piece for the wardrobe. The other disagrees. I won't tell you which of us thinks what... as to not bias your opinion. But we really need to settle it once and for all. Is this shirt/jacket a "classic" piece? I've put two pix here... you can see the colors and pattern a bit better in the bottom one...

I vote "not classic." I'm sure this piece would be nice on someone, but all I can picture is what I'd look like in it: classic circus tent, maybe. Too many colors, too boxy. Not good.
Love your show Jen, and your mom's tips brighten my drive home!
this is not classic. sorry. It is a little 80's in pattern too.
I vote for NOT a classic piece. When I think of classic, I think of the black blazer that goes with anything!
NOT CLASSIC. The pattern is just too busy.
I vote -"not classic" - classic has the word "class" in it for a reason. Although ..the right person, place and time it could look ok!
NOT classic...too many colors. When I think of classic, I think of the black blazer that goes with everything!
"NOT CLASSIC" is my vote....not tailored enough and too many colors...classic would go with more stuff than this cindy lauper reject...Jenn, save your mom - I love her and would NOT want her to be seen in this!
Def not classic! To colorful & does not go with everything to be classic!
I would say retro ~ not classic! Reminds me of a 50's or 60's maternity shirt that I've only seen in pics because I'm WAY to young to remember 1950's or 60's!
it looks like this awful rug my mom had in the bathroom
Not a classic in my opinion. At first I thought, Yuk! But on the right person, it looks like a cozy top for the winter. (Better than wearing a sweatshirt.) I agree that it isn't a classic and it reminds me of a shirt I had when I was a pre-teen with all the colors. No wait, it reminds me of the Amazing Technicolored Dreamcoat! (I'm sure it looks better on!) Do I see a trip back to the mall in your Aunt's future?
Love ya sister!
OMG What is this??????
It looks like a burlap sack!!!
I vote NOT classic....the look is to Coldwater creek.
If you got this for a good price,that's all that matters!

Jen....Mom is ALWAYS right!! This is totally a "classic" wardrobe piece! First I think your pics are not flattering. Second, you could wear this with jeans, a casual skirt - or a black skirt or slacks. You could dress it up with a necklace and dark colored skirt (any...)! So as a Mom to Mom - you go Mom! You rock!
OMG YES!!! this is so classic...can't you see Jan or Marsha marching in a room wearing this, hair swaying behind and their old fashioned go go boots on...yuck!
This is so not "classic". By definition a classic item is that which is simple, stylish, timeless, and elegant.
Bless her heart for believing the sales lady would be honest with her when there was probably a commission involved.
It might be considered a classic at Coldwater Creek but when I think of a classic piece of clothing, I think of a black or blue blazer or anything black
I vote not classic.....To colorful to be classic. It reminds me of what my teachers wore when I was in grade school.....
Eww, lol! This is not a classic piece. Jen I agree with you, I know you didnt say which oppinion was yours but I agree!!!! I completely agree with the person who wrote that a black blazer is classic.
not classic! too much going on with all the colors.....love your show!!
