Sigh. Seemed like Sejour’s fit model was based on my body in a way that many of their remaining plus size lines aren’t. At least their pieces that I have hold up really well... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets/page/2#post-2090562 Tue, 07 Jan 2020 22:52:16 +0000 rebekahphoto 2090562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your collection! The greens are especially lovely on you.</p> <p>I also miss Sejour! I have several of the jackets, and tops/cardigans. I appreciated how their sizing fit my full bust, but was not too large in the shoulders as many plus sizes are!! </p> <p>and the added waist shaping seams were such a plus.....! sigh....... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets/page/2#post-2090535 Tue, 07 Jan 2020 21:20:24 +0000 Kari 2090535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you!

I got those plaid pants at Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018 and while it’s taken some time to figure out how to wear them casually, I love using them as a jeans alternative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089951 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 21:17:14 +0000 Glory 2089951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so wonderfully stylish. The jackets look fantastic and I want to give a shout out to the plaid pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089944 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 20:35:33 +0000 Kari 2089944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, it is really too bad! I’m crossing fingers that I can baby all these jackets and make them last many, many years. No more running into hooks!</p> <p>Anchie, I do both. On milder days, early fall and spring, they work well as outerwear. On colder days I wear them indoors too under a trench. They are 3 season items for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089822 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 15:30:12 +0000 anchie 2089822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear that this line is discontinued, it was working great for you. I am very inspired how you use color and I like your monochromatic outfits very much. I don‘t have any leather jacket but can see how useful they can be. Do you wear them inside or are they more of an outerwear for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089818 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 15:16:18 +0000 nemosmom 2089818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So upsetting that Sejour is gone! But, man what a score for you!&nbsp; You look so beautiful in their jackets - hopefully more will turn up secondhand.&nbsp; I am with you on seeking out longevity of real leather v. the fake stuff. You have such a great eye for color and I love your monochromatic looks!</p> <p>I was nodding along with your guidelines for SYC - especially <i>"Lean into what feels “timeless” for me, which may not be what’s trendy<br /> at the moment (and usually isn’t!) but are colors/cuts/pieces/styles<br /> that I am rarely bored of."</i>&nbsp; Also, buying into too many current trends and keeping items out of guilt. The mental weight of those things is too much to bear anymore.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089795 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 13:38:49 +0000 Style Fan 2089795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, how disappointing that Nordstrom dropped the Sejour line.&nbsp; Their leather jackets are gorgeous and the fit is perfect for you.&nbsp; Also, it does seem to be a sign of our times that B &amp; M stores are closing and then we miss out on great SAs.&nbsp; Online shopping does not have that personal touch.<br />I agree with you about real leather.&nbsp; Real leather lasts for decades if properly cared for.<br />Your jackets look amazing on you.&nbsp; I love your use of colour.&nbsp; You have such a good eye.&nbsp; I am not doing a SYC exactly but I do wear a sort of uniform and only add to it as needed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089792 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 13:33:45 +0000 kkards 2089792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, those jackets were made for you! YAY for finding a seller who had one available...i love the way you use color, both in your dressing and your hair. my favorites of these are #13 &amp;14 (what can i say, i'm a lover of monochromatic outfits) and #5</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089764 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 09:25:36 +0000 Bijou 2089764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, you look sensational in these outfits. I am baffled at why Nordstrom have dropped so many brands that set them apart from other retailers.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am finding a similar issue here in Australia that retail is becoming polarised, either high end and expensive or high street and lacking in quality, and I prefer to not shop in either of these. Only a few of my favourite stores in the mid price range have survived. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089761 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 09:12:38 +0000 Sal 2089761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a shame that this brand has disappeared? I wonder what led to the decision?</p> <p>These jackets suit you brilliantly - the cuts are all great.</p> <p>I think longevity goes a long way - and these are long lived and well loved pieces.</p> <p>I haven’t had a shopping hiatus for more than 10 weeks. I am just coming off a 9 week break. I did have a couple of weeks of temptation but decided to hold firm. I can’t even remember now what it was that tempted me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089755 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 07:43:11 +0000 Gigi 2089755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new jacket looks amazing on you! I've always been envious of your beautiful collection of moto jackets. You have done an excellent job finding jackets in a variety of colors. I hope the gray one will be back in action soon.</p> <p>Too bad about Sejour. That is so frustrating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089751 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 07:14:43 +0000 notsaf 2089751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to your amazing tonal outfits! </p> <p>I like the idea of repeating uniforms with color variety. It clearly works so well for you! I find the idea a little daunting, but I think in 2020 I'll be looking for an olive or forest green blazer and a couple of tonally matching tops along the lines of what you do with colors in your jackets and bottoms here. Thanks for the inpso! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089747 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 07:02:42 +0000 Kari 2089747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. No keeping that baggage, and yes to reducing hangups that leave us feeling like we have “nothing to wear.”</p> <p>Shevia, that’s very kind. I do think I picked up a lot from their eyes (there are many artists in my family; paintings, etchings, graphic design, photography, jewelry) over time, if not their talent.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>I know leather isn’t devoid of environmental impact either, but given its longevity, I feel better getting and keeping a well made leather jacket or pair of shoes that is going to take a LOT longer to fall apart, and not need to keep buying replacements.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>The shoes in 14 are actually a mule, just with a very high vamp! I love that metallic color, a rather unusual distressed rose gold.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089728 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 05:00:26 +0000 Helena 2089728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous Kari ... I LOVE 14 so much ... The column of colour makes your bold hair the star, the pants fit to perfection, and the gold boots are a perfect finishing touch. These are all fab though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089707 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 03:25:01 +0000 Jaime 2089707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does not surprise me one bit that there are artists in your family because you have a brilliant sense of color and proportion. Regarding faux leather, there are also environmental problems with the plastics they are made of (not in every case but certainly at the lower end of the price spectrum). Which is just another drop in the bucket of concerns. Love the fit and styling of your new jacket and am very fond of the bright green one too! Well all of your styling looks on point to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089704 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 03:07:30 +0000 Suz 2089704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your list of "dos" are extremely relevant to me, also. I especially do shameless repeats (within a year/ season, and sometimes longer), keep on top of laundry/ mending/ hemming, and also edit out what is not working. No point in keeping that baggage.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089699 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 02:30:23 +0000 Kari 2089699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know! It was a really disappointing year. Especially in stores. It’s been an annual thing with my mom and sister for a long time, and we aren’t even sure if we will bother in 2020. We’ll see. </p> <p>(Also: apparently I got REALLY into monochromatic outfits during the end of 2019 and didn’t notice that. Hah!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089697 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 02:27:47 +0000 rachylou 2089697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Baby those jackets! You wear olive really well. </p> <p>I hope NAS is better for me this year. I got something During the sale but not From the sale. It was a total strike out for me, which makes me sad because it’s fun. Not even a pair of Paige jeans... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089695 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 02:15:32 +0000 Kari 2089695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, no problem! It happens a lot, especially with auto-correct and others with similar names here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089693 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 02:01:18 +0000 taylor 2089693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KARI, &nbsp;I apologize, &nbsp;I have spelled your name wrong &nbsp;on both your post and mine ! &nbsp;I fixed both . ❤️<div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089684 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 01:35:56 +0000 Kari 2089684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Linking to another relevant thread with some thoughts about shopping my closet, because writing it all out was helpful:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-my-no-shop-year?replies=26#post-2089683">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....st-2089683</a></p> <p><div>Your mileage may vary; here’s what works for me. (I think I may copy and link to this from my own post.)</p> <p>- “Uniforms” with enough color variety that I don’t feel like I’m in a uniform even if I’m more or less wearing the same cut/items in different colors or with different accessories. </div><div>- Shamelessly repeat my favorite pieces or outfits. I don’t worry about repeats, but it’s more like I get excited by a favorite and I want to keep wearing it over and over and feel like I should mix it up. But that’s just how I enjoy the things I love! Lean into it. </div><div>- Keep on top of doing and folding laundry. Duplicate essential pieces (like jeans) if they become laundry bottlenecks. </div><div>- Keep on top of mending/alterations/etc. whether that means taking it to a tailor or doing it myself. </div><div>(I don’t list dry cleaning because I don’t do dry cleaning.)<br />- Limit my storage to what I have now - don’t add more storage or cram things in. Find an efficient folding or rolling technique that maximizes visibility. If items don’t fit, it’s time to reduce what I have. </div><div>- Declutter/eliminate what I’m not wearing. I’m trying to become more ruthless about passing things on. I’m not great at it yet but it REALLY helps me feel like I like what I have vs. having lots of things that I don’t love to wear.<br />- Lean into what feels “timeless” for me, which may not be what’s trendy at the moment (and usually isn’t!) but are colors/cuts/pieces/styles that I am rarely bored of. </div><div><br /></div><div>What doesn’t work so well for me personally because it ups the frustration factor: small capsules or challenges. Duplicating items in too many colors that are not great on me. Too many current trends. Keeping pieces out of guilt that I didn’t like them as much as I’d hoped. </div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089679 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 01:21:34 +0000 Suz 2089679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Kari,</b> you look amazing in every one of these jackets and how great that you found a classic black moto. It is <b>SUCH</b> a shame that they stopped making those -- obviously they were/ are quality items and absolutely worth every penny you paid! I especially love the 2 green ones (and how great is it that you can wear both olive and forest equally well?). The peplum is also such a nice piece to have on hand.&nbsp;</p> <p>ETA: I'm not officially shopping my closet until NAS because I know I will need one pair of sandals and one pair of linen pants in the summer. But apart from that, any shopping will be thrifting until then for sure, and probably precious little of that.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089678 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 01:19:00 +0000 Kari 2089678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, Taylor, that’s just what happened! No more.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089676 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 01:18:14 +0000 Kari 2089676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nuancedream and Christina, it sure seems that way.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>They are such great pieces and had such interesting colors every so often. There are other leather jackets, but not many in pluses, and not at this price point. Last NAS, the ones I tried were too long in the waist (in other brands as Sejour had been gutted by then.)&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you! This was a fun roundup. I may do the same with other wardrobe categories every so often as a “base” for shopping my closet &amp; enjoying what I have.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-shop-my-closet-ode-to-sejour-jackets#post-2089675 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 01:16:18 +0000 taylor 2089675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are looking fabulous Kari. &nbsp;Your &nbsp;leather jackets are gorgeous. &nbsp;I always love your posts!<br />i am with you 1000% on real leather . &nbsp;Like you, &nbsp; I love leather jackets and own several, &nbsp;but I did buy a pleather because I though it looked and felt real. &nbsp;I recently pulled it from my closet and it was literally peeling &nbsp; off in certain areas in my hands..too bad , &nbsp;into the garbage it went and I vowed never again ! </p>
