Q&A about individual items, ensembles, and wardrobe

What do we think of this vest?

I am finding this intriguing:

Can someone talk me out of it, or is it totally fab?

I remember that you all were NO help when I needed you to point out the flaws in this Very Expensive Coat: http://www.peruvianconnection......ng+coat.do but I'm hoping you'll do better on the vest. ;) It's not nearly as expensive as the coat, just seems kind of frivolous...

I really like it April. Just a caution, NY&Co's sizes run a bit big, so try it on in a store if you can.

Ooh, that IS cute!

Well April, I'm unfortunately going to be the one to talk you out of it. Although the vest is cute, NY & Co. sizes run pretty huge, so there is no way tiny you will fit into them. Sorry :(

YES. Maya saves the day, as opposed to the rest of you enablers.

Now if you could provide similarly discouraging information about the Very Expensive Coat...

Um, the main flaw of the coat is that it is Very Expensive? ;)

Also, it seems like it would be a pet fur magnet! And the dry cleaning bills!

LOL -- yes, that is the main flaw of the gorgeous coat. The only flaw. <sigh>

It’s really sweet April, but I don’t think that their smallest size will fit you. Try Express and Bebe instead.

It is a cute vest, but I think your subject line is even cuter! "What do we think of" can only be asked in YLF. I think there's a culture of thinking together here that is unique to YLF.

Love it! Sorry!

That coat is simply STUNNING. But, I'm not all that familiar with alpaca... I think that maybe it's a fabric that sheds or pills... better do some more research on how it wears. (Okay. That was my best attempt at NOT enabling you)

Thank you, Mac. Obsessing over a $600 coat is not the most productive use of my time, even if it is The MOST Fabulous Coat Ever.

Angie, I peeked at Express and Bebe (that was a new one for me) and did not see anything similar. Express does have one in leather, but to me the fun of this was that it was not leather. I prefer a look that whispers "moto" rather than one that recreates the sound of a gunning motorcycle engine...

I hear you, April. Keep on looking though, because those stores have goodies that fit precious little Thumbelina you.
