Too big in the shoulder </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-2-items-dated#post-243361 Tue, 02 Nov 2010 00:16:29 +0000 Carole 243361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa-you are so sweet, no one has called me tiny before. I think I will cut and paste that and put it somewhere so I will remember.</p> <p>I think the votes are sending my jacket packing! Thanks for the assistance, everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-2-items-dated#post-243350 Tue, 02 Nov 2010 00:11:48 +0000 Lisa 243350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A little late here but I agree with others jacket #1 is not dated but too big on tiny you. The second cardigan is fab a keeper for sure. I love both your oxfords and your cognac boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-2-items-dated#post-243308 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 23:32:18 +0000 Carole 243308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>interesting idea, Alda about the military hardware, wouldn't have thought of doing that, very creative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-2-items-dated#post-243291 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 23:09:51 +0000 Aida 243291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love love the cardigan. In regards to #1, it's a little large and I think it might work better UNbelted. If you're into the military/hardware look you could probably spice the coat up a bit by adding some hardware to the 2 pocket flaps on the bottom half and/or the sleeve cuffs to draw the eye away from the shoulders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-2-items-dated#post-243246 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 21:44:26 +0000 Carole 243246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1-definetly outerwear, I should have clarified! Thanks for the thumbs up on the cardi-yeah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-2-items-dated#post-243243 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 21:41:54 +0000 taylor 243243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ditto MNsara, If the first one is strictly outerwear it will be great for layering sweaters under.<br /> Love the cardi!!<br /> Your oxfords are super cute on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-2-items-dated#post-243239 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 21:37:44 +0000 MNsara 243239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If #1 is outerwear, then I think it has personality. If it is inside wear, I think it is too big.</p> <p>#2 is classic &amp; great - I commented in your other WIW thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-2-items-dated#post-243227 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 21:24:34 +0000 Louise 243227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cardi. The jacket looks nice, a bit safari esque, but it does look too big across the shoulder blade area x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-2-items-dated#post-243207 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 21:02:35 +0000 Jonesy 243207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the cardigan--it looks snuggly but luxe. The jacket sort of has an identity crisis: it's not quite long or short, and not quite fitted or deliberately loose and oversized. I agree about trying another belt, or using it as outerwear (with a sweater underneath, as you are wandering through the woods this fall :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-2-items-dated#post-243204 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 20:57:12 +0000 rute 243204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cardi!<br /> I would pass on the grey jacket, it seems too big! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-2-items-dated#post-243178 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 20:01:14 +0000 Marley 243178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket looks a little big to me - is it supposed to be like an overcoat type of jacket? If so, it's probably OK - otherwise, I'd probably get rid of that one. LOVE the cardi! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-2-items-dated#post-243176 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 19:57:00 +0000 morethanbeige 243176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both are keepers. I really like the scarf with the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-2-items-dated#post-243170 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 19:53:42 +0000 Kate 243170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look good to me. The jacket is a bit short, but I think that just means that when you find the perfect replacement it will be easier to let it go. In the meantime you can enjoy what you have and keep an eye out (without frantically searching) for something better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-2-items-dated#post-243163 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 19:49:05 +0000 Carole 243163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just missed your post Maryk. I have tried this sweater with the belt over, but it kind of bunches up. I should post another picture for you to take a look! Maybe the gray jacket is too big as well as too short! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-2-items-dated#post-243161 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 19:47:21 +0000 Carole 243161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are right, Kim. The shortness of it is maginfied by my height, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-2-items-dated#post-243160 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 19:46:54 +0000 MsMary 243160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jacket! But is it a little big on you? How about changing out the self belt for a leather belt? That would freshen it up quite a bit. Love the contrast of the red scarf.</p> <p>I posted about the cardi on your other thread. I think it's pretty, and you could also put the belt over it for a different kind of look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-2-items-dated#post-243157 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 19:44:59 +0000 Queen Mum 243157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both. I see no reason to let go yet. The only thing that I would say is a tad dated about the jacket is the length. Nowadays, that style jacket is usually mid thigh or longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-2-items-dated#post-243154 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 19:40:01 +0000 Carole 243154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1) I have had this gray wool jacket for many years, I still like the classic shape, it's a little shorter than I would like, what do you think? ps the p</p> <p>2)This is from behind and I have the belt twisted, that probably doesn't help the look!<br /> 3) With a scarf.</p> <p>4) This is a Ralph Lauren cardigan, I'm actually wearing it today. I really like the color and the feel of it. I saw Diane Lane wear this same cardi in a movie awhile back, that was a little reaffirming! </p>
