I have a little confession to make - both those pictures are from last year so my sizing has changed a bit since then (especially since I have been working out like a madwoman). With my husband hovering about me all day long, I find myself with much less time for myself than in the past. </p> <p>Anyway, I will try to take some better pictures of the safari jacket. The black jacket fits great (better than when I took the photo) - I think those jeans I was wearing in that picture were a size 10 and now I'm a size 6 on the bottom. While I have shrunk on the top since I stopped nursing, my top size has not changed as dramatically (welcome to the world of inverted triangles!). That's why I wonder whether I should try to find some more A-line or poufy skirts to try and balance out the proportions. I have a great BR denim pencil skirt but I am afraid that it makes me look even more like an ice cream cone. </p> <p>I never actually wore the safari jacket belted - I just tucked the belt ends into the pockets. I suppose I should try it belted and take some pics.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-two-spring-jackets#post-52068 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 19:14:32 +0000 Tanya 52068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one looks great! The color on the second one is beautiful , and if ii fits well I'd keep it. Safari style is not something I'd consider trendy, like nautical, it always comes back in the summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-two-spring-jackets#post-52063 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 19:04:35 +0000 greenglove 52063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love the black jacket. I cannot tell about the fit of the red one but it is a beautiful color on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-two-spring-jackets#post-52036 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 10:46:14 +0000 Inge 52036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just chiming in to say that the black jacket looks great! That red colour is gorgeous on you too, but it's a bit difficult to see how it fits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-two-spring-jackets#post-52020 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 05:21:59 +0000 Angie 52020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the first jacket, Shana. Does it feel comfortable? </p> <p>The safari jacket looks like it has potential. But I can’t see how it fits from the picture. Is the belt positioning correct? Fab colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-two-spring-jackets#post-51998 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 02:10:09 +0000 JewelryGirl 51998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black is AWESOME!! Love it!! The color on the safari one is great, hard to see the shape though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-two-spring-jackets#post-51988 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 00:29:16 +0000 Maya 51988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the first jacket looks amazing. You look so hourglassy and your shoulders look absolutely fine. I don't think a high stance is required--the stance just has to sit at a place where it "locks and loads," and it does that for you. It's perfect.</p> <p>If the stance is too high, it actually looks quite awkward and lumpy and well, bad.</p> <p>I agree that it's hard to see the shape of the safari jacket, but I don't think it looks trendy and the color is pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-two-spring-jackets#post-51987 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 00:20:52 +0000 Antje 51987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this safari style is classic, and you can totally create good outfits with it this spring. I'd also try it with pencil skirts (e.g. a denim one) if you wear those.</p> <p>I agree with Marianne about the fit of the first jacket, I think it's good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-two-spring-jackets#post-51979 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 22:10:34 +0000 marianne 51979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the black jacket - I think the shape is great. I know what you mean about the shoulders, but it doesn't bother me on the picture. It looks very fitted and I think it should work with all types of bottoms.</p> <p>I can't see the shape of the safari jacket very well, but the color looks very nice. I think I would prefer it with jeans or clamdiggers, if the shape allows. Sorry I am no help on the trendiness question, it seems that safari jackets come in and out of style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-two-spring-jackets#post-51961 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 20:30:17 +0000 shana 51961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>I have two spring jackets on which I would like the get some feedback. Yay, Nay or suggestions.</p> <p>1. This is a black printed cotton jacket that I bought a couple of years back from the BR outlet. I bought it in very early spring intending it to wear it later that spring but then found out I was pregnant and never had a chance to wear it. I was attracted to it because it was black (I have an additction to black that I am working on breaking) and I liked the way that it “locked and loaded” under the bust. However, the top of the sleeve has a little pouf which is not the best for inverted triangles. Does it look bad? I am worried that it really accentuates my shoulder line. Plus it doesn't have a high stance that is usually the recommendation for large busts. Any suggestions on how to wear it? I was thinking that if I find a more A-line skirt, it might balance it out some...</p> <p><a href="http://s374.photobucket.com/albums/oo187/shana_ylf/jackets/?action=view&#038;current=blackjacket2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s374.photobucket.com/al.....acket2.jpg</a></p> <p>2. This is a safari jacket that I bought at ON last year. I love the color but hate wearing it belted so I usually wore it loose. Are safari jackets considered a trendy item or a classic? I usually wore it with jeans or with one of two printed, pleated skirts from AT that both have a little of the same red in it. This was me wearing it last spring (still had the nursing boobs).</p> <p><a href="http://s374.photobucket.com/albums/oo187/shana_ylf/jackets/?action=view&#038;current=safarijacket.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s374.photobucket.com/al.....jacket.jpg</a></p> <p>Any input would be greatly appreciated! </p>
