Q&A about individual items, ensembles, and wardrobe

Nicole Moto Denim

Imagine my surprise when Angie made 2 denim jacket suggestions for me. I wasted NO time and immediately ordered them both.

Well....the delia's one wasn't quite right....I even had Mia try it on, but she is very broad shouldered and it wasn't quite right on her either.

But check this out:

Wow Nicole, that denim AX jacket is pure perfection on you! It looks so amazing.
Angie is a sweetheart, isn't she?

You're the cool one, Nicole. I'm the arrogant and opinionated one that knew this style would work on you. It's KILLER.

I’m glad you trusted my judgment and got going with ordering. I feel as fab as you look :-)

wow Nicole, absolutely killer! I really want to buy this jacket now, I will save up for it!

It looks absolutely PERFECT on you Nicole, as if you got it custom made. Killer!

Do you think the Delias jacket could work on someone with wimpy little shoulders? I'm just wondering if it will be cut too straight to go over the bust if it fits in the shoulders. Perhaps you won't be able to answer this question.

Incredible, Nicole! That jacket is perfection.

Wow, amazing Nicole!! Congrats!

I'm with you Maya, thinking about ordering the delia's one. What didn't work for you with that jacket nicole?

Hott Nicole!! Of course Angie was right, isn't she always?? ;)
I ordered the Delia's jacket, so I hope I have more luck with it than you did. Of course, I won't know for another week. It will have taken it nearly two weeks to get here if the UPS tracking information is correct. Grr.

I love it! I imagine it will work well with a lot of your other pieces, and you can wear it to work? Can't wait to see what you come up with!

I'm also intrigued by the Delia's jacket... however, I have tried this style on before and it's not my best look, not sure why. I think I look better with a lapel? But maybe I haven't found the right one. And that price is so sweet, it's tempting to give it a shot. I'm surprised even your daughter didn't like the fit, so it gives me pause. My teens both love this store and have great luck there, including my DD13 who's shoulders are very, very broad (swimmer's shoulders). I find their stuff is good for shorties! Was it a length issue?

i can take measurements of the Delia's jacket (I ordered an XL) if anyone is interested. I have not returned it yet, so I could even resell it to anyone who's interested. The XL did not zip over my chest. It's a junior size for sure, which is why I ordered the XL.

Maya, I don't know if the jacket would work better with narrower shoulders. It was a bit short in the sleeve, but that may be intentional. Would you like me to measure the shoulder?

I think for $20 it's definitely worth the chance to try it out.

You can tell the difference in the quality of the AX one and the Delia's one though. The Delia denim is kind of stiff and thick, but the AX denim is smooth and supple. The zipper is much smoother on the AX one too.

Excellent! I'm so glad you found one that fits you, Nicole.

I really like those vertical pockets under your bust line and how they create an elongating and tucking effect.

Posted 9 months ago

Wow that AX jacket is smooth and sleek on you.

Posted 9 months ago

I'm not sure if measuring on an XL would be much help for me since I would be getting a small or medium. According to their size chart, I should be able to wear a 5/6 or small, but I'm not so sure about how it will zip. I don't need to zip it all the way up, but I like how you have the AX one zipped. A denim jacket isn't really a priority for me though. I don't have much of anything to actually wear it with.

Nicole - you are going to leave us all in your very stylish dust! Wow. That looks great!

Posted 9 months ago

Wow! Nicole, that jacket looks awesome on you. Way to go Angie!

Posted 9 months ago

YAY Nicole! That jacket is one of the best pieces I've seen you wear! It's wonderful! I'm so glad you followed Angie's advice and I know you'll get a lot of wear out of it!

Things sure do move fast here on the forum, I almost missed this thread.

If I were you, I'd never take this off again, Nicole. That jacket is pure perfection on you!!
(Did you wear it today?)

Angie is SUPER cool!-)

Hee Hee Inge, No I have not worn it yet. Mostly because it's still too cold for this jacket. I am wearing HEAVY winter coats right now, I wouldn't be comfortable wearinga jacket under a coat. Also the sleeves need to be shortened.

Nicole - You inspired me. I bought the same AX moto jacket and... I absoluely love it!! Wow! It's always tough finding a jacket (even tops & dresses for that matter) that 1) I like 2) fits me right. This one fits me perfectly and i love the rockin' attitute it brings! I can't wait to find excuses to wear it! ;) ~ We have similar builds so your clothing posts are helpful!

Posted 9 months ago

That jacket was made for you Nicole.
Amazing!

Angie, how nice are you!?
Nicole is beaming. Now that is job satisfaction!

Nicole, that jacket looks amazing on you! (So good, in fact, that I went out to the store to see if it would work on me too.)

For any of you who might be interested, it's currently listed as being on sale for $79 on their website, but when I purchased the jacket in store it was actually an additional 20% off ($63 pre-tax.)
