Looks great on you too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-jacket#post-73988 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 20:24:08 +0000 marianne 73988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you GG! I'll try that - I was actually thinking that I would probably end up wearing it unbuttoned. It looks more trapeze-like that way, which I like. And you're right, it needs a scarf to break up the darkness </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-jacket#post-73900 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 21:29:09 +0000 greenglove 73900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute!!!<br /> I wonder how it would look with a scarf inside and unbuttoned. I have no idea what you are talking about with your back, you are beautiful!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-jacket#post-73858 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 06:51:45 +0000 mzmonroe 73858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what should i wear to the beyonce concert? i have no sense of fashion at all and i really would like to look nice and lady like for once in my life....someone please help me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-jacket#post-73853 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 04:53:32 +0000 marianne 73853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They were down to $37. But I completely understand about the priorities. :)<br /> So you'd call that yellow "citron", Angie? I am a little fuzzy on the color nomenclature, so it's good to know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-jacket#post-73848 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 04:35:19 +0000 Angie 73848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*chuckle* </p> <p>I shop at Benetton for sleeve length too, Marianne! These gorilla arms of mine. </p> <p>I have had my body in that citron jacket MANY times. You are good! It’s 100% my colour and style, and fits perfectly. But I was on my YLF shopping ban (accessories only – remember that?) when I REALLY wanted it. And now I’ve got so many new frocks that I feel I don’t need another Spring jacket especially since the NAS sale is in a few weeks – our dominant season. But I get to enjoy the style on you instead :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-jacket#post-73833 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 03:57:44 +0000 marianne 73833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, I am glad you think it works!<br /> Angie, yes, the sleeves fit - it is from Benetton, which is one of my places to look for length. It also came in mustard-y color, which I noticed first because it looked very Angie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-jacket#post-73814 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 02:23:56 +0000 Angie 73814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER. And the sleeves are long enough :0)</p> <p>No doubts, Marianne. You wear this style beautifully and it’s definitely retro enough. I am still sporting similar styles and shan’t be stopping any time soon. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-jacket#post-73810 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 01:49:10 +0000 Chris 73810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't make out the peplum detail but since the fit is good and the color is such a neutral, I can't imagine it being out of style soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-jacket#post-73809 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 01:48:42 +0000 carissa 73809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it will go out of style, nor do I think the peplum is an issue. It looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-jacket#post-73794 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 00:38:41 +0000 Debora 73794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute! I like how it fits you and I think you'll get a lot of use out of it. Hope you decide to keep it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-jacket#post-73788 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 00:17:27 +0000 marianne 73788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies! I always have a ton of reservations about any new style... which is why I rarely tried them before YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-jacket#post-73763 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 21:58:15 +0000 cciele 73763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfortunately my monitor is crappy and I can't make out the details of your jacket, but from what I can see, it fits really well around shoulders and back. And I don't notice your back looking particularly broad! It's cute, and I think you will be able to wear it next year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-jacket#post-73756 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 21:13:17 +0000 Vani 73756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great Marianna. I really like the style. Fits perfectly and does not look wide or off at the back at all, atleast to me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/retro-jacket#post-73746 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 20:33:03 +0000 marianne 73746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I picked up this jacket which is a new style for me and I have a couple of concerns. I hope it's enough "retro" that it won't look outdated next year. I am also not sure about the back view, my back is quite broad and I feel insecure about the peplum detail. What do you think?<br /> I took pics outside so that the details would show but it was hard to get an unobstructed view.<br /> <a href="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/cyudo/IMG_7246.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i293.photobucket.com/al.....G_7246.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/cyudo/IMG_7249.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i293.photobucket.com/al.....G_7249.jpg</a><br /> Thanks! </p>
