Wow! Lots of strong and varying viewpoints. I appreciate each and everyone of your thoughts.
I posted, because my first response to the jacket was that I liked it. Not loved, but saw potential and found it interpreting. Acid wash has NEVER registered with me before. It's something I have happily ignored. The jeans in acid wash never appealed.
Gryffin, given we share a live of a very similar styling I almost just went ahead and pressed the buy button when I read your comment lol. You see exactly how I could style it and I was thinking it could be a great piece with my black.
Style fan, thanks for the encouragement.
Crutcher, you are always very supportive and I find support in your honest feedback so no need to apologise;).
Shevia and Viva, thanks for being so open minded;)
Janet, thanks for your thoughts:)
Kimberley, thank you.
Lisa, thank you! I have a lot of "associations" when it comes to clothing and I get where you are coming from.
Thistle, I must have had my eyes closed because while I know people were wearing acid wash, I just didn't seem to see it lol.
Angie, thanks for weighing in. And I never considered items like this jacket as having "flounce"... Funny hey.
Shiny thanks fore minding me is the R&B sweatpants. I was besotted with them, which really surprised me. I hadn't connected the two garments and that does make me view them in a wider light.
Betty, Deb and Rachy, I really so appreciate your opinions. Thank you.
Isabel, thanks. Interesting how we all see something a little different. I see what you see here, a slight Japanese influence.
Rute, thank you.
Columbine, thank you for the encouragement.
Gaylene, thank you! Appreciate your openness given your poison eye.
Laura, and Joy thank you.
Texstyle, thank you:)
Donna, would have to try to know I guess, but my other Metalicus jackets all bit me at the right spot;)
Thanks AJ:)
Thank you Caro:).
Well I am feeling very tempted to try this. Perhaps it could be my wildcard? Colour wise I know it would work over the colours in my wardrobe and the style will blend nicely... I realise that it's the suggestion of distressing that I am attracted to, as opposed to the acid wash element if that makes sense. Hmmm?.
Thanks so much ladies.
