Only you can decide if you can live with the gap, which I notice on your right foot but not the left (or was it the other way around). I also like the teal tweed jacket but am concerned about the buckling just below the shoulder seams. Does it just need some steaming? Or should you go back and find one that is more perfectly sewn. Just thinking about one of Angie's shopping P's here (picky). I like the white jacket buttoned best because it looks nicely tailored and not boxy. Not crazy about it unbuttoned, sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items/page/2#post-510510 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 07:50:37 +0000 danza.armonia 510510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those beautiful textured shoes! Also, the tweed jacket is both a wonderful fit and a great color.</p> <p>By the way, you have enabled me in buying two skirts. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items/page/2#post-510369 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 03:50:24 +0000 Jonesy 510369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Kellygirl and Aida about the stance on the white jacket. Love the tweedy goodness on you; I'm ambivalent on the loafers. I love the idea and the color is great, but that gappy thing...I don't know. Maybe you need some softer leather ones, or ones that are cut narrower? But how do you feel in them? It's ultimately your footsies that have to decide :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items/page/2#post-510355 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 03:37:33 +0000 kimlee 510355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote keep on the twee jacket and the loafers. The white jacket is okay but not a 10 -- and you are too stylish to wear anything less than a 10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-510347 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 03:31:15 +0000 sarah 510347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stephanie, I always wear a 4P, and that Kate fit jacket is TSS for me (note that I'm a bit busty - 32D). I don't have any AT or BR jackets, I'm afraid. I do have a ATL jacket that is also a 4P and the two jackets fit very similarly on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-510230 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 01:25:06 +0000 Stephanie 510230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, I love the teal tweed jacket. Is it the "Kate Fit Shetland"? If yes, will you tell me how you found the sizing to run (perhaps you could compare to Ann Taylor or BR?)? I want to order the gold one, but I am afraid the smallest size available (2) might be too big. It would *definitely* be too big if this jacket runs bigger than a jacket sized the same way in AT or BR. Thank you for your help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-510210 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 01:08:46 +0000 Aida 510210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't read any of the other responses, but I vote keep the teal jacket and the loafers and return on the white coat. The loafers are fun, the croc press and color is fab! The teal jacket looks like a great jacket and I am sure you'll get plenty of use. The white jacket... I want to see something with longer (vertically) lapels; the wide 3-button setup there doesn't look very modern to me, and having long verticals will give you a leaner line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-510118 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 23:42:19 +0000 Deborah 510118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shoes and the tweed jacket but agree the white jacket is not quite perfect. Keep looking as I'm sure you will find the right jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509716 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:14:12 +0000 sarah 509716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, I never would have considered a white/cream jacket until I saw them on Queen Mum, MaryK and others. I will keep looking after that ringing endorsement for wearing white!</p> <p>Isis, it's a bit similar to some other tweed jackets I have, but I think that this one is better, actually, in terms of fit and color and heck, it was only $40 what with the crazy sales that Talbot's has been having... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509707 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:03:14 +0000 rachylou 509707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color and shape of the teal jacket! That looks a workhorse. </p> <p>I LOVE the bright white on you; you look absolutely fantastic in bright white. Do have to admit I find the jacket a little shapeless.</p> <p>I'm into the idea of loafers right now, but confess the gap would probably make me, personally, unhappy.</p> <p>But boy do I like white on you! I so cannot wear white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509706 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:02:57 +0000 Debbie 509706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those loafers are fantastic as is the jacket. i would return the white one and keep looking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509698 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:52:29 +0000 kellygirl 509698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! Gosh, I swoon every time I see that jacket. It's divine--just not something I would get a lot of wear out of. I like dressy with casual but that looks slightly too dressy for me. </p> <p>@Sylvie: I found the fit TTS too at least in the velveteen blazer. I'm 5'3" which seems on the tall side of short for their petite line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509697 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:50:11 +0000 Jem 509697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the tweed jacket, the fit is nice. The white jacket seems a bit plain. Maybe changing out the buttons to something more fun would help, but that wouldn't help it being see thru. You can't see that in the photos. I like the loafers, too. I was just looking at those online in either shiny navy or orange. I was hoping to see them in person at the store locally, but they don't seem to have those colors in canada right now. The yellow is a fun color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509696 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:43:42 +0000 Isis 509696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with the majority. Great loafers, and the gap would not bother me as long as they were comfortable. Really fab teal blazer, not stuffy at all!</p> <p>ETA: A second thought about the blazer. Does it not fill a hole because you already have a lot of green blazers or a lot of tweedy blazers? If so, you might want to hold out for something of a different style, like longer tails..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509691 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:41:10 +0000 sarah 509691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, Kelly - that makes sense. What a good word to know! Do you mean these? If so, I didn't. They look lovely, though!</p> <p><a href="http://www.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?id=prdi27625&#038;mode=search&#038;backurl=%2Fonline%2Fsearch%2FsearchResults.jsp%3Fquestion%3Dtuxedo%26trail%3D%26pageNum%3D0%26addFacet%3DSRCH%253Atuxedo%26removeFacet%3D" rel="nofollow">http://www.talbots.com/online/.....veFacet%3D</a></p> <p>Sylvie - I always wear a Talbot's 4P in jackets and this one was not exception. (And that's nearly what I always wear in jackets). So, yes, I'd say that they fit TTS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509677 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:26:44 +0000 Sylvie 509677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you made the right decision. I really like that green tweed jacket on you (and am considering copying you).</p> <p>PS. Does the green jacket fit true to size (or true to their size charts)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509669 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:22:46 +0000 keruchina 509669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those loafers look fantastic! I concur with the others that the tweed jacket and the loafers are great. My fashion vocabulary isn't good enough to explain what seems off about the white jacket but it just seems not quite right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509666 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:21:09 +0000 Anonymous 509666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the tweed jacket and the loafers. Do you think there would be room to try a drugstore shoe insert in the loafers? It may help the gap by raising your foot up just a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509654 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:09:24 +0000 kellygirl 509654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a deeper v in the front--at least that's what I think it is. Lol! I'd better check my blazer terminology before I start throwing labels around! Ha!</p> <p>ETA: Did you by chance try the jewel toned tuxedo jackets? I see they are on sale. SO gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509649 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:05:27 +0000 sarah 509649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, what is a "lower stance"? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509639 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 16:57:37 +0000 kellygirl 509639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'd like the white jacket better if it had a lower stance. I kind of like that it is on the sheer side. LOVE the tweed and the loafers though. You must keep those. I think you will get lots of use out of them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509589 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 16:25:41 +0000 sarah 509589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! </p> <p>I think I'll return the white jacket and hold out for one that is more perfect. And I'm leaning towards keeping the other jacket and the shoes, which I'll wear around inside a bit more to be sure that they don't slip (although I don't think that they will).</p> <p>You are all so helpful! I really appreciate it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509534 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 15:34:19 +0000 Queen Mum 509534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sarah!<br /> I'm surprising myself with a big yay vote on the loafers. They look great on you!<br /> The white jacket does seem a bit boxy... I vote return. The tweed jacket seems to fit you much better. I'd like to see it styled with a more relaxed blouse though. I wonder if the stiff white button down might be what is leaving you feeling a bit "professorish" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509521 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 15:22:27 +0000 Angie 509521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the loafers! Just perfect, Sarah. Personally, I wouldn't worry about the gap. </p> <p>I really like the tweed jacket too. I know that you will wear it often :)</p> <p>I want to love the white jacket, but the buttons seem too white. Does that bother anyone else? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509514 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 15:17:14 +0000 Amy 509514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You don't sound happy with the white jacket. You don't like the boxy fit or how it's semi-transparent. Is it lined? Those concerns would have me returning the jacket, but I'm a little too picky sometimes. It looks nice enough in the photos, though!</p> <p>I LOVE the green jacket. Keep that for sure.</p> <p>The flats are really cute and a great color, but the natural gap (as shown in 6) still seems a little more dramatic than I'd expect from this style. I'd expect a gap to appear when arching your foot, but not so much when standing still. Perhaps these are too wide? Do they offer this shoe in a narrower version? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509505 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 15:13:04 +0000 celia 509505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have seen that blue tweed jacket irl and it is gorgeous. Please keep it, it looks great on you.<br /> The shoes are also beautiful and also a keep imo.<br /> The white jacket doesn't seem worthy of you.i would look for something else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509487 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:59:52 +0000 teri 509487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the tweed jacket. Color is amazing on you</p> <p>I'm also loving the loafers. I like the texture of them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509483 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:54:32 +0000 Suz 509483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh...I LOVE the shoes!! Those are so nifty and would bookend your hair and act as near nude shoes on you with bare legs. But I'm afraid I have no advice to offer about the fit. Maybe someone who wears loafers regularly can explain. Are they going to flip flop? If so, that would be a deal breaker for me, but perhaps not for everyone. </p> <p>As for the jackets, you sound a bit unsure, and that makes me feel unsure, too. What else would you wear with the white one? It would bother me if darker colours and patterns were visible through it if I planned to wear it with those. On the other hand, if you've been wanting a white jacket for a long time and haven't found one, and this price is right, maybe it's okay. Still, I would think spring would bring many options for lighter jackets? </p> <p>The tweedy one has a sort of hacking jacket vibe that I enjoy, especially the side view. And the colour is interesting and potentially really nice on you. You say it fits well but I was wondering about the shoulders; they look as if they might be a tiny bit too set in? Or maybe that's just the shape of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509482 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:54:00 +0000 Isabel 509482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually saw these both "live" and I don't think that the pics due the teal jacket justice. It is a very pretty color that one doesn't often see in jackets. I like the white one too !</p> <p>I agree with Velvety, the loafers are fantastic, but the gap on one shoe makes me unsure too. There is a differs in the gap between 6 and 7, do you know if there is a reason for that ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-kr-sale-items#post-509481 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:54:00 +0000 morethanbeige 509481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the 2 jackets. That teal color looks great on you. I also like the loafers, but they do seem to gap. Are they comfortable? </p>
