I don't care for acid wash personally,&nbsp;but this doesn't look dated to me--I think because of the style of the topper, which is very modern. I hope you like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay/page/2#post-1434959 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 05:07:40 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1434959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay. Looking forward to seeing it on you. It's quite different from your solid colors, and yet, it's still pretty much a solid. I imagine the indigo blue will be stunning on you, and I think of it as a neutral that will go with whatever you want it to. The style is very much up your alley. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay/page/2#post-1434917 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 03:46:48 +0000 Dimity 1434917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, the acid wash descriptor conjures up a whole lot of scary images, whereas the item itself is just gorgeous. I'm glad you got it and I'll look forward to seeing it here one day. The colour will be so good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay/page/2#post-1434915 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 03:39:09 +0000 Deborah 1434915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz!! I wonder if they shouldn't have used acid wash as a descriptor?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay/page/2#post-1434914 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 03:36:33 +0000 Suz 1434914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Acid wash? What acid wash? All I see is gorgeous <b>BLUE</b>!! :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434911 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 03:29:03 +0000 Deborah 1434911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Dimity. I bit the bullet and have just ordered it. I can return if I am not happy;). I suppose I am encouraged by those who think it would work and would be thrilled if those who are not as keen, might see it in a different light styled...we will see ;). Hoping it will be my wildcard!! I didn't think I was found to have one lol... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434905 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 03:21:19 +0000 Dimity 1434905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is beautiful and evokes thoughts of the&nbsp;indigo dyeing I did&nbsp;during my undergraduate degree. You would wear this well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434902 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 03:16:21 +0000 Deborah 1434902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Lots of strong and varying viewpoints. I appreciate each and everyone of your thoughts.</p> <p>I posted, because my first response to the jacket was that I liked it. Not loved, but saw potential and found it interpreting. Acid wash has NEVER registered with me before. It's something I have happily ignored. The jeans in acid wash never appealed. </p> <p>Gryffin, given we share a live of a very similar styling I almost just went ahead and pressed the buy button when I read your comment lol. You see exactly how I could style it and I was thinking it could be a great piece with my black.</p> <p>Style fan, thanks for the encouragement.</p> <p>Crutcher, you are always very supportive and I find support in your honest feedback so no need to apologise;). </p> <p>Shevia and Viva, thanks for being so open minded;)</p> <p>Janet, thanks for your thoughts:) </p> <p>Kimberley, thank you.</p> <p>Lisa, thank you! I have a lot of "associations" when it comes to clothing and I get where you are coming from.</p> <p>Thistle, I must have had my eyes closed because while I know people were wearing acid wash, I just didn't seem to see it lol.</p> <p>Angie, thanks for weighing in. And I never considered items like this jacket as having "flounce"... Funny hey. </p> <p>Shiny thanks fore minding me is the R&amp;B sweatpants. I was besotted with them, which really surprised me. I hadn't connected the two garments and that does make me view them in a wider light. </p> <p>Betty, Deb and Rachy, I really so appreciate your opinions. Thank you.</p> <p>Isabel, thanks. Interesting how we all see something a little different. I see what you see here, a slight Japanese influence.</p> <p>Rute, thank you.</p> <p>Columbine, thank you for the encouragement.</p> <p>Gaylene, thank you! Appreciate your openness given your poison eye.</p> <p>Laura, and Joy thank you.</p> <p>Texstyle, thank you:)</p> <p>Donna, would have to try to know I guess, but my other Metalicus jackets all bit me at the right spot;)</p> <p>Thanks AJ:)</p> <p>Thank you Caro:). </p> <p>Well I am feeling very tempted to try this. Perhaps it could be my wildcard? Colour wise I know it would work over the colours in my wardrobe and the style will blend nicely... I realise that it's the suggestion of distressing that I am attracted to, as opposed to the acid wash element if that makes sense. Hmmm?.</p> <p>Thanks so much ladies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434797 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 23:06:20 +0000 Caro in Oz 1434797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please try it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434796 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 23:04:02 +0000 AJ 1434796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't feel it has that arty edge that I have come to associate with your outfits, but I do feel that this would be a nice spring addition to your white pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434790 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 22:54:49 +0000 DonnaF 1434790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Was acid wash so polarizing back in the day?&nbsp; I had no idea it could look like this.&nbsp; My concern is where this jacket would hit on you, as it has the potential of making a person look much wider than she is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434764 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 22:10:17 +0000 texstyle 1434764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's worth trying - the technique they used doesn't really read "acid wash" in the same way it does on jeans or denim jacket - at least not in the images shown. And it could be a fun way to brighten up black and maybe even gray... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434699 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 20:05:25 +0000 Anonymous 1434699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Gaylene said. How do you feel about it. The shape and blue color I can see working with your wardrobe. This acid wash looks like a texture and doesn't scream acid wash for me, especially if it isn't denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434694 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 20:01:51 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1434694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't mind acid wash (for others) but I wish this one had a bit more contrast to it. I agree with rachylou that for me it looks more like a tie-dye kind of vibe, which doesn't normally strike me as your style, Deborah. Nonetheless I can see the shape working well for you so maybe in the right outfit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434690 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 19:58:26 +0000 Gaylene 1434690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do YOU like it? Acid wash, to my mind, is something you either like, or don't like for any number of reasons--none of which may reflect your feelings. As for being dated, and whether or not it is your style, that is more about HOW you'd wear that piece. And knowing you, Deborah, I have no doubts you would make that jacket look totally current and utterly stylish. I say this as someone who has a real poisoned eye for acid wash and wouldn't even consider it in any way, shape, or form for my wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434614 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 17:51:01 +0000 columbine(erin) 1434614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The title horrified me as I'm not a fan of acid wash. However the color is more saturated than I was expecting and maybe it's worth experimenting.&nbsp;Have fun!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434602 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 17:43:22 +0000 rute 1434602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE it and acid wash is on trend now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434600 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 17:39:48 +0000 rachylou 1434600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've come around to acid wash in some circumstances, but I'm also a nay. This feels more tie-dye hippie to me than acid wash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434592 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 17:35:37 +0000 deb 1434592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say nay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434589 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 17:28:00 +0000 Anonymous 1434589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I read "acid wash" I immediately thought "if you wore it the first time around, leave it alone this time.." but this is pretty! and a lot more elegant than "acid wash".&nbsp;It's more of a&nbsp;dream inspired/Asian influence look and although I think of your style as being more color block, dramatic silhouettes and lots of&nbsp;black, this could be really great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434523 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 15:44:20 +0000 Anonymous 1434523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to say I'm not a fan of acid wash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434506 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 15:23:26 +0000 shiny 1434506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I think this is pretty but personally&nbsp;I just don't see it meshing with your style. It reads more Boho to me, and Boho is the last descriptor I would use for your style. Reminds me of something you'd find in Anthropologie or Chico's. More laid back West Coast... rather than East Coast urban (which is how I think of your style).&nbsp;</p> <p>That said, it could turn out to&nbsp;be a total wildcard for you -- and it is all in the way you style it. How would you style it? Inquiring minds want to know!!!</p> <p>Reminds me of the R&amp;B sweatpants jeans .... those have an acid wash appearance... totally NOT my usual thing!&nbsp;But, worn with black, I like it and it feels more "me."&nbsp;</p> <p>Does that make sense?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434497 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 15:13:24 +0000 Angie 1434497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing wrong with acid wash.</p> <p>(Debs, replying back to you from my thread - you actually wear a lot of flounce - like this topper - the front flounces. Looks fab on you).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434461 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 14:45:56 +0000 Thistle 1434461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a fan, sorry, but this a poison eye to me. I was so into the acid wash in the 80s, but didn't actually get any until the end of the 80s, and then they were so uncool int he 90s . . .&nbsp;&nbsp; Yep, real baggage there </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay#post-1434458 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 14:44:05 +0000 Anonymous 1434458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Vivian and Janet - sorry to say.
