Your legs look lovely and toned in the shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-jacket-dresses-everything-up#post-1002718 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 01:48:27 +0000 lyn* 1002718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the volume with the shorts; it's not overwhelming at all, and looks comfy :)</p> <p>The lovely layered detail up top on your jacket is so pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-jacket-dresses-everything-up#post-1002650 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 00:15:59 +0000 Day Vies 1002650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Froggiebecky - I have tried belting. The jacket is a weird length on me where it's not long enough to look anything but bunched up when belted. It's got sort of an a-line to it which is why I think it's so voluminous. So I figured if I belted my shorts I could define my waist that way. </p> <p>Unfrumped - great suggestions. I was thinking of trying this jacket out with skinny jeans and flat sandals next. </p> <p>Suz - just got a text from DH saying that he just boarded the plane - I'll see him in about 3 hours. </p> <p>Karie - It's the one area of my body that resists mocha and biscotti binges. Thank you! <br />Shannon! -- How I've missed you. Thanks for stopping by. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-jacket-dresses-everything-up#post-1002636 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:48:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1002636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-jacket-dresses-everything-up#post-1002613 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:11:44 +0000 Karie 1002613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A jacket does dress everything up! Fantastic outfit, you took an everyday shorts outfit and kicked it up a notch. Good thing you hung on to that jacket, it looks great with the shorts and probably will go with a lot of your other outfits, too.</p> <p>And OMGoodness, you have gorgeous gams, girlfriend! That length of shorts is perfect for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-jacket-dresses-everything-up#post-1002612 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:11:26 +0000 Suz 1002612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous, flirty, and fun. DH will be counting the days until he gets back to you. Love the belt, by the way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-jacket-dresses-everything-up#post-1002609 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:09:44 +0000 froggiebecky 1002609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great use for your jacket!&nbsp;<br />Have you tried belting it to give it some waist definition? (since you mention not liking the boxiness) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-jacket-dresses-everything-up#post-1002607 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:04:32 +0000 unfrumped 1002607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jacket and glad you saved it. Lightweight summer toppers are hard to find! I would wear longer shorts and flat sandals&nbsp;to balance it, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-jacket-dresses-everything-up#post-1002600 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 22:49:47 +0000 Day Vies 1002600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ </p> <p>Today my only errands were visiting the post office and picking DH up from the airport. (He was visiting Seattle for a conference). I thought this outfit was simple and the jacket elevated the basic tank + short combo. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;One of the major things I have learned(and continue to improve) from&nbsp;the forum is balancing volume. I was playing around in my closet yesterday and pulled out&nbsp;this jacket. It&nbsp;is pretty much a box which is why I've avoided wearing it, but I could not bring myself to give it up. A short sleeve linen blend&nbsp;jacket with shape is hard to find in a design that could go into the office. I also love<br /> the linear design, on seam pockets, and slightly puffed sleeves.&nbsp;</p> <p>Today's look is Banana Republic and I am wearing my Franco Sarto cognac wedges.&nbsp;</p> </p>
