It's my short arms and legs and your long ones....just goes to show you, doesn't it. Alas (for me) and lucky you!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-zara-kimono-jacket#post-949455 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 01:30:18 +0000 marit 949455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you! I am laughing a little because I have ordered the same one and am waiting for it (I had no idea the Zara kimonos were A Thing until I had already set my heart on having this blue silk one for weeks) so it makes me enjoy seeing how well it looks in action. The proportions are excellent on you and I think it's an entirely different vibe to the Anthro one, even if they are ostensibly the same concept.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-zara-kimono-jacket#post-949387 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 00:14:42 +0000 unfrumped 949387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks really right on you. I am one of the folks who also thought &nbsp;you&nbsp;are about&nbsp;6 feet tall. Your frame can take the flowy length and it looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-zara-kimono-jacket#post-949374 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 23:49:58 +0000 rachylou 949374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in this! This is your style, with a touch more of the romantic than usual perhaps. Keeps things fresh and interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-zara-kimono-jacket#post-949361 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 23:36:48 +0000 Angie 949361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Made for you.&nbsp;</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-zara-kimono-jacket#post-949273 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 21:34:02 +0000 Carole 949273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Its beautiful, Nancy! This one seems totally different from the Anthro kimono (LOVE that too), so I say "why not"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-zara-kimono-jacket#post-949262 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 21:27:06 +0000 nancylee 949262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CF, I can see why you'd question the practicality of two kimonos.....but I do feel this is a signature look for me (as Suz said). &nbsp;And I do feel the two kimonos have different vibes/shapes and work differently. &nbsp;The Anthro kimono doesn't look nearly as good over the black dress, for example.&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, I am just barely <i>over</i> 5'4"....maybe it's my long arms and legs that gives the illusion of height. &nbsp;I'm always surprised that most&nbsp;people think I'm closer to 5'6". &nbsp;But I assure you, it's an illusion. &nbsp;;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-zara-kimono-jacket#post-949251 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 21:14:29 +0000 Suz 949251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nancy, I feel sure you are at least two inches taller than I am. I am only (barely) 5'4". And I have short arms, yes. Alas....</p> <p>CF, in defence of Nancy owning two of these, I can see it as a sort of signature item for her. And it's quite different from the Anthro one (I suspect) because of the fabrication. This one is silk and feels quite luxe. Can be dressed up or down.&nbsp;</p> <p>I say that as someone who is not keeping the one I ordered!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-zara-kimono-jacket#post-949248 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 21:10:45 +0000 goldenpig 949248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-zara-kimono-jacket#post-949243 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 21:01:14 +0000 cinnamon fern 949243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I will be the downer. &nbsp;I like the Zara kimono on you, but I don't love it. &nbsp;The Anthro version is way better. &nbsp;And is this the kind of thing you really need two of? &nbsp;How often would you wear the Zara jacket, and is there anything you'd wear it with that you couldn't wear the old one with? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-zara-kimono-jacket#post-949241 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 20:56:26 +0000 Debbie 949241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you.

I hope you keep it. I tried the lilac one from Zara and it was so horrible on me it's going right back with no photos. But this drapey style looks excellent on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-zara-kimono-jacket#post-949171 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 18:53:19 +0000 catgirl 949171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This &nbsp;IS your style! &nbsp;It looks fantastic. &nbsp;And looking at you I had an epiphany too - that this is not MY style, and I can still admire it on you. &nbsp;You and others make them look so good I feel like jumping in - but at the same time, I can see from your pics exactly why I should not do that. &nbsp;Hope that doesn't sound odd? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-zara-kimono-jacket#post-949137 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 18:31:04 +0000 Raisin 949137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-zara-kimono-jacket#post-949127 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 18:20:49 +0000 Suz 949127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, Nancy! I knew it would work really well on you! Your extra height and longer arms make it a winner on you and much less bathrobe like than it was on me!! I hope you will keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-zara-kimono-jacket#post-949122 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 18:16:51 +0000 nancylee 949122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I have no resistance lately. &nbsp;The kimono jacket look really resonates with me..so much so that I had to give one of the Zara options a try. &nbsp;I already have a kimono-- bought last year from Anthropologie--but this dark blue&nbsp;Zara option (the one Suz tried a few days ago) is longer and has more of a dramatic look.</p> <p>#1- jacket with straight leg denim/white tee&nbsp;<br />#2 - jacket with straight leg denim/cream silk tank<br />#3 - back view (love!)<br />#4 - jacket with a black sheath dress<br />#5 - the Anthro kimono I already own</p> <p>DH raised an eyebrow last night (when I threw it on quickly...not styled) for him. &nbsp;He thought it had a little 'bathrobe' look to it. &nbsp;I like the fullness of the sleeves, though, and it has a neat little gather at the back that keeps it from feeling too full and bathrobe like. &nbsp;</p> <p>Thoughts? &nbsp;This feels like my stye. </p>
