I forgot to mention the colour of the jacket and skirt which finally came home with me: it's the turquoise-blue one. Very bright, but goes well with my coloring. The type of colour that wakes you up, you know? I think I'll be able to work it with a lot of stuff this spring. I can'T wear it now, it is too Spring-y, and temp, outside presently is -12...</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-black-and-white-leopard-print-jackets-in-or-out#post-1156164 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 02:33:46 +0000 unfrumped 1156164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might like a more classic animal print better, with its warmer tones and gradations of color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-black-and-white-leopard-print-jackets-in-or-out#post-1156120 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 01:33:20 +0000 Deborah 1156120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see that you have decided to take it back:)&nbsp; I was also unsure of the black white pattern with your colouring.&nbsp; I like to think that animal print is one of those always in style type things as long as we ensure the actual garment is current and up todate.&nbsp; I have a black and white Zebra jacket that will be working its way through 2014:)&nbsp; I just think there might be something better out there for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-black-and-white-leopard-print-jackets-in-or-out#post-1156103 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 01:17:38 +0000 Suz 1156103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. That it is an attention grabber doesn't bother me in the least! I love a good statement jacket and if I owned it, I&nbsp;wouldn't worry that others would get bored of it (if I didn't). It's only how it relates to Krish's personal colouring that makes me wonder -- and I think she could probably make it work brilliantly over a column of grey or black or navy...it's just a question of whether it would feel too "demanding" sometimes.&nbsp;</p> <p>Krish, people had similar responses to a Club Monaco bomber I posted about. I never bought it. I'm sort of sorry I didn't, in the end...it is navy and white "zebra" print. Elizabeth P has it and it looks fantastic on her. I do think her colouring is better suited to its intensity, however.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-black-and-white-leopard-print-jackets-in-or-out#post-1156079 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 00:36:18 +0000 Gigi 1156079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think that pattern goes out of style, but when I saw it online (before I knew you bought it), I thought, Wow! That is some eye-catching blazer. I do think it would probably have the tendency to take over your outfit. It's going to be much more than that "pop" of color or edge that most of us are looking for.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-black-and-white-leopard-print-jackets-in-or-out#post-1155933 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 20:19:42 +0000 krishnidoux 1155933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you're on to something. I think that is part of the problem. It does look very edgy and classy on me, yet, the contrast is difficult to handle. I was just trying it on again thinking, "I am a softer kinda girl".&nbsp;</p> <p>MaryK, good point.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think I'm going to take it back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-black-and-white-leopard-print-jackets-in-or-out#post-1155920 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 20:10:26 +0000 Jewell 1155920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried styling it over a column of color per Angie's recent blog post? I think it would look good with a column of red, yellow, purple, and just about any other color. Suz makes excellent points about your coloring, so I'd take those into consideration, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-black-and-white-leopard-print-jackets-in-or-out#post-1155916 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 20:03:04 +0000 MsMary 1155916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not super loving it.&nbsp; To me it reads as much floral as leopard, and not necessarily in a good way.&nbsp; And it's definitely a very memorable piece so if you see the same people all the time and you will be wearing it a lot, you may end up as "the lady with the black and white leopard jacket," which may or may not be okay with you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-black-and-white-leopard-print-jackets-in-or-out#post-1155908 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 19:45:41 +0000 unfrumped 1155908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a form of "stylized" animal print, which is kind of an interesting bird, er, animal. Although, I guess if you're the leopard, you would think all prints are stylized and not "realistic". </p> <p>You just need to see if you like the color/contrast/size for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-black-and-white-leopard-print-jackets-in-or-out#post-1155905 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 19:40:44 +0000 Suz 1155905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jacket and don't think it's out of style. But the high contrast black and white might be too intense for your colouring? I'm not 100% sure about that (and you could probably work it anyway) but i know for me, it's tricky to wear a B&amp;W print - especially a busy one -- near my face. Black OR white, yes -- maybe not my best colours, but do-able. B&amp;W stripes -- maybe, if the scale is right. But B&amp;W print? It's trickier for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-black-and-white-leopard-print-jackets-in-or-out#post-1155853 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 18:17:49 +0000 shiny 1155853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks like floral rather than leopard?</p> <p>I don't think black &amp; white prints are ever out. There's always a place for them in my closet. That said I have a personal&nbsp;allergy to animal prints in anything other than accessories and shoes. It's stuck in my mind that at my age (47) I don't want to look like a cougar. But that's me. And then again, I did just buy a black/grey/white animal print silk blouse, which I'm having no trouble wearing! I think maybe that works because it's not furry.&nbsp;</p> <p>So your topper: gets points because it's floral, not animal print, and it's also not furry. I think it will work. Let's see it accessorized once you get it!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-black-and-white-leopard-print-jackets-in-or-out#post-1155847 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 18:12:03 +0000 krishnidoux 1155847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you both! Your insight is helpful. abc, I join a picture below.&nbsp;</p> <p>I bought it on a whim on Friday... lots of $ for me... but from a store I trust for cuts and quality. My wardrobe desperately needs a new topper. not something flimsy. But trying it on at home I am not so sure anymore. The print is rather large on petite me (or maybe it is&nbsp;just that I have to get my eye adjusted)... and it is harder than I thought to actually build outfits with it because, precisely, of the print. And here I thought it would be one of those "work-horse" pieces, especially because of the print. I could always return it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-black-and-white-leopard-print-jackets-in-or-out#post-1155839 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 17:47:39 +0000 abc 1155839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Link does not work for me but I'd say the jacket is fine based on the description alone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-black-and-white-leopard-print-jackets-in-or-out#post-1155836 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 17:45:32 +0000 Jewell 1155836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While I've seen more jackets in floral prints, I do not think the black and white leopard print is out. I've seen that print in too many other items, like sweaters, shoes, and outerwear for that to be the case. That's a lovely jacket btw! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-black-and-white-leopard-print-jackets-in-or-out#post-1155832 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 17:39:57 +0000 krishnidoux 1155832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like this one...<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://guessbymarciano.guess.ca/en/Catalog/View/new-arrivals/all-new-arrivals/leopard-print-jacquard-jacket/41W5225041Z">http://guessbymarciano.guess.c.....1W5225041Z</a>? </p> <p></p> <p>So beautiful ladies, thank you for your advice! I exchanged it for this blue jacket, and got the skirt too:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://guessbymarciano.guess.ca/en/Catalog/View/women/jackets-and-outerwear/joely-zip-blazer/41W2037246Z">http://guessbymarciano.guess.c.....1W2037246Z</a></p> <p>&nbsp;And I love it! It was well worth going back, because now I have a suit for the summer, and the skirt was really not expensive. The colour is bright but somehow it is something I can withstand, unlike B&amp;W bold prints.&nbsp;</p>
