The Angie-recommended scarf and BR sweater have worked out really well, and I also like the black Aldo booties that I bought based on a post by Ceit. Isis, glad to know you have that blazer as well, it is such a nice layering piece for longer blouses.</p> <p>Suz, these are Loft Modern skinnies in black. They fit well but have already faded quite a bit, even though I have been washing them with a special detergent for dark colors. I also have the GAP real skinnies, which look much better since I have been dry cleaning them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-new-leather-jacket-and-kr#post-844431 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 19:37:45 +0000 Isis 844431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits for this semester! I really like #3; we are Gray Gibson jacket twins, and it looks beautiful with cobalt. I'll have to copy!</p> <p>I also like the drapiness of #1.</p> <p>I love both jackets, leather and peplum. I don't think the peplum is too "out there" for teaching, and it is a great color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-new-leather-jacket-and-kr#post-844345 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 17:04:49 +0000 rae 844345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for a happy jacket story ending! I just saw that jacket online and definitely stopped to drool. High five! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-new-leather-jacket-and-kr#post-844283 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 16:08:18 +0000 Suz 844283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are looking wonderful. ! LOVE that Angie-recommended scarf on you. So pretty and graphic. All these colours in your outfits look amazing. </p> <p>Are you wearing Gap Really Skinnies in these pics? Or are they different trousers. Regardless, I like them on you. </p> <p>I really love the new leather jacket and the Gibson's jacket. Please do keep and wear! </p> <p>As for the dress, it looks unbumpy in the picture, but if you don't feel comfortable in it, back it goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-new-leather-jacket-and-kr#post-844263 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 15:40:41 +0000 Angie 844263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see any lumps and bumps in that dress and to me it looks great! But you have to be happy wearing it so I leave it up to you. </p> <p>All these outfits are fab!! Loving #3 in-particular. KILLER new burgundy jackets - both of them. And your shorter hair looks terrific. </p> <p>So nice to see you back on the forum </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-new-leather-jacket-and-kr#post-844249 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 15:20:27 +0000 unfrumped 844249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #5 a lot; the back peplum lies nicely. Follow your gut on the dress ; if it feels like you will be bothered by the draping, pass on it but put that color on your list- looks good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-new-leather-jacket-and-kr#post-844234 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 14:58:27 +0000 cinnamon fern 844234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #5 a lot too, and the peplum is subtle - I definitely don't think it's too much for work.</p> <p>I vote return the dress, a dress you can't wear without a jacket is not that useful. The color is great but you can find other things that color, and it' s a bit shiny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-new-leather-jacket-and-kr#post-844110 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 06:30:12 +0000 Mia 844110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote to keep #5. I think it looks very sharp and gives you a great silhouette,</p> <p>Dress is a great color and looks lovely in the photo. If you will wear it the price is amazing. I don't see the "bumps". If it bothers you now though might be best to leave it and put the $$ toward something you feel fab in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-new-leather-jacket-and-kr#post-843996 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 03:13:12 +0000 Makrame 843996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This semester has been very busy so I haven't been posting any photos. I also found that I don't have to take as many photos since a lot of my winter work outfits were worked out last year (with the help of YLF) so I can just fall back on tried and true formulas.</p> <p>Here are three recent WIWs from more casual days at work (no teaching - hence, shorter skirts and slimmer trousers ). I dislike the neckline of the lilac sweater in #2 so wore it with a scarf.</p> <p>I also finally found a leather jacket I like (#4 - Bernardo quilted jacket). Unlike a dozen or more other jackets I tried and returned, it fits well, has streamlined style (not too many details, zippers etc.), and the color is exactly what I was looking for. #5 is Gibson equestrian jacket (similar to the grey one in #3 but with a peplum, and in a cimson color). I am debating whether the peplum is a bit too much for work/teaching but it seems to look OK from the back. What do you think? </p> <p>#6 is a dress from Ann Taylor that probably should go back - I don't think I can wear it without a jacket due to lumpy-bumpiness factor. It was only $24 and the color looks good under the jacket but is it worth keeping? </p>
