Love the vest and seems like a perfect topper for your style-most definitely keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933841 Thu, 16 May 2013 14:48:11 +0000 texstyle 933841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That lace jacket is very pretty - have you tried the lace sleeved moto already that Shevia and Shannon have? I think that is also very pretty.<br /><br />I like the longer vest - it seems more modern right now.&nbsp;I think you've styled it well with all of those outfits really.&nbsp;&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933709 Thu, 16 May 2013 12:11:14 +0000 Deborah 933709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love that jacket but understand it's not a keeper if the fit is not good.<br /><br />Love the vest. &nbsp;I too like the oversized look here and I think your stylings are brilliant. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933635 Thu, 16 May 2013 07:19:30 +0000 carolbee 933635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ditto what Susie said, I'm impresssed by your stamina. &nbsp;BTW love the vest. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933609 Thu, 16 May 2013 05:32:05 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 933609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The lace print jacket is so cute on you; it's a good style to keep in mind!<br /><br />The vest is very cool. I like all the ways you've styled it, especially with the the three dresses, as it's more unexpected this way. Each has its draw for me; I can't choose a favorite. But it's good to know you now have a fun styling option for the magenta one, if that one has been a challenge for you!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933575 Thu, 16 May 2013 03:51:05 +0000 kellygirl 933575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it especially since this is outside my comfort zone.&nbsp; Funny how styles kind of grow on me--I think Denise’s over sized Trucker vest started it all This was one trend that I didn’t think I would try--never say never. &nbsp;</p> <p>@Isis: Thanks! Believe me, you would get bored eating those bon bons!&nbsp;</p> <p>@lyn: Glad the magenta works. That dress is the hardest thing for me to wear. This is the first thing I’ve liked over it--my cropped vest looks weird.</p> <p>@Suz: Aww, thanks. I feel pretty good despite the crutches. I can’t get myself to use one of those electric carts anywhere so I just hoof it. (It’s the only work out I get these days.) I do, of course, make use of my disabled placard. I’m not crazy--I paid $6 for that!&nbsp;</p> <p>@Nicole: Lol! Thanks for your honesty. I was tempted to size down.</p> <p>@sarah: Thanks. You are right about the tight arms. I think the vest is a better fit for me anyway.</p> <p>@BethAnn: Yes! Tight arms are annoying. I know I won’t wear it if it uncomfortable, so back it goes. Thank you--re: the vest. I’m glad they work because those are the kind of outfits that need a topper!</p> <p>@Thistle: Thanks.&nbsp;</p> <p>@Shannon: That’s exactly right--the vest is a great completer piece for these plain dresses.&nbsp;</p> <p>@Denise: Thank you. I was hoping that you would chime in. I couldn’t get that Trucker vest you bought out of my head. I kept thinking it was the kind of piece that would re-fresh some of my summer dresses. When the Leith went on sale I jumped on it. I like that while it is oversized, the style is still on the refined side of RATE and therefore, not too trendy for me. Wow--it’s hot out your way. It’s still been pretty cool here. I’ll be wearing the vest hopefully through the summer or at least until I’m done with the crutches.&nbsp;</p> <p>@Angie: Yay! Thanks for the thumbs up. Tags are coming off now :)</p> <p>@Goldenpig and Karie: Thank you!</p> <p>@Susie: Lol! Thank you. Today was my day to relax so I wanted to play around in the closet. Back to chores tomorrow.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933526 Thu, 16 May 2013 02:40:44 +0000 Susie 933526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are amazing...to put together several outfits AND photograph them while on crutches...I'm so impressed!</p> <p>Oh and the vest is fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933481 Thu, 16 May 2013 01:58:38 +0000 Karie 933481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The vest looks fantastic, and I like all the ways you've styled it. Too bad about the jacket, but if it isn't perfect, it can't stay! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933475 Thu, 16 May 2013 01:52:07 +0000 goldenpig 933475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Too bad about the jacket but the vest is fab and so you!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933457 Thu, 16 May 2013 01:15:18 +0000 Jaime 933457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the vest on you! I think you styled it wonderfully - I can't even pick a favorite. Too bad about the jacket but I like the vest on you even better! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933422 Thu, 16 May 2013 00:15:47 +0000 Angie 933422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Too bad about the jacket :(<br /><br />Thumbs up on the vest! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933396 Wed, 15 May 2013 23:46:53 +0000 CocoLion 933396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I got a vest like that this past winter, from Levi's, I wore it all the time. &nbsp;I also wore it over a black moto jacket and got many compliments this way. &nbsp;So I vote keep on the vest.<br /><br />The lace blazer looks great on you but if the biceps feel too tight, pass. &nbsp;A larger size is not going to fit right elsewhere.<br /><br />ETA -- and the vest is more a fall/winter/early spring garment for me. &nbsp;It already topped 100 in nearby Sonora on Monday! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933391 Wed, 15 May 2013 23:39:21 +0000 Transcona Shannon 933391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LOVE the vest Kelly and I think you've styled it brilliantly. This is a great completer piece for the warm months. Definitely KEEP.<br /><br />Too bad about the jacket - it's lovely but if the fit is off, no sense in keeping it. Onward! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933299 Wed, 15 May 2013 21:33:34 +0000 Thistle 933299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A shame about the jacket, but it is not perfect. On to better things!<br /><br />I like the vest a lot and really see it playing well in your closet. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933286 Wed, 15 May 2013 21:05:31 +0000 Beth Ann 933286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the jacket, but I know from experience what tight arms feel like!&nbsp; I'm sure your biceps are getting a workout right now!<br /><br />Love the vest.&nbsp; It will work so beautifully with what is already in your closet.&nbsp;&nbsp; The outfits you've posted are fabulous.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933269 Wed, 15 May 2013 20:41:52 +0000 sarah 933269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Too bad about the jacket, but the last think you need is tight arms right now. The vest is very cool. I have no wisdom regarding how to style it, but I think it suits you really well. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933263 Wed, 15 May 2013 20:36:13 +0000 Nicole D 933263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Too bad about the jacket! &nbsp;It is lovely. &nbsp;I feel like the vest is too big, but you mentioned you want a BF look so in that case it si the correct size. &nbsp;You styled it right to me! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933259 Wed, 15 May 2013 20:33:46 +0000 Suz 933259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A shame about the jacket, because it looks really nice on you. Oh well.&nbsp;<br /><br />I like the vest a lot and think it is a keeper for your great casual style. You look so healthy for someone on crutches!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933244 Wed, 15 May 2013 20:18:20 +0000 lyn* 933244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am in love with the vest and the cute stylings you have - it looks especially great with white and the magenta!!<br /><br />Too bad about the jacket; but there will be better https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933241 Wed, 15 May 2013 20:14:05 +0000 Isis 933241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the vest and all the ways you've styled it!&nbsp; <br /><br />Too bad about the jacket, but now on to better things.&nbsp; Hope you heal soon; you are incredible for carrying on.....I would stay in bed all day eating bon-bons...<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933238 Wed, 15 May 2013 20:09:41 +0000 kellygirl 933238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, Ceit and pil! I like the vest too. These more "fringe" items are a little outside my comfort zone so I wanted to make sure I wasn't making a mistake.<br /><br />@pil: Just me and the self timer. I have to say, I'm pretty adept on these crutches. I guess these shoulders are good for something after all! I'm going to look like a gorilla by the end of this--LOL! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933220 Wed, 15 May 2013 19:52:34 +0000 pil 933220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the vest too, especially with the pink dress.<br /> Kelly, You must have one of your kids take your pictures? I'm having a hard time imagining you using the delay button then making your way across the room on your crutches! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933210 Wed, 15 May 2013 19:44:42 +0000 Anonymous 933210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the vest a lot! The jacket is ok, but I think there are better ones out there for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-review-and-a-kr#post-933173 Wed, 15 May 2013 19:12:57 +0000 kellygirl 933173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm following up on the Olivia Moon lace print jacket I asked about last week. This is the M regular. I actually love it but it is snug in the arms (biceps) and has no stretch. I think the large will end up being too big. (I'm between the 6 and 8 according to the size chart and the M is suppose to fit 8-10 so it must run a little on the small side.) Anyway, I'm just throwing this out there in case anyone else is interested.<br /><br />The second item (K/R) is the Leith denim vest in M.&nbsp;I like the oversized BF vest look that Angie said is kind of&nbsp;a fringe trend--I think this fits the bill but I'm wondering if my stylings are&nbsp;all right. Opinions welcome.&nbsp;<br /><br />TIA!<br /><br />
