My office is between 63 and 65 degrees, so I wear a jacket indoors all day everyday and would like another option and thought sporty luxe might be a fun way to go. </p> <p>Anabelle-- I love some of the vests I've seen, but I REALLY want sleeves because of my circulation issues, which means my hands and arms get really cold, my torso is actually half decent!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-the-ladies-sporty-luxe-or-skifrump#post-1405571 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 23:39:00 +0000 thimblelina 1405571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked it, but I actually DO brew &amp; bottle my own kombucha so obviously I can't be trusted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-the-ladies-sporty-luxe-or-skifrump#post-1405564 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 23:25:24 +0000 Angie 1405564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elly, are you looking to wear the bomber indoors or as outerwear?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-the-ladies-sporty-luxe-or-skifrump#post-1405543 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 22:50:25 +0000 annabelle 1405543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie makes a good point. I know you could find something more flattering for you and your cute wardrobe. I recall seeing a few black vests in a recent Nordstrom catalog that were more figure conscious without being scuba snug. I just added some Finds for you. These are vests, not jackets, which will give you warmth but also the structure to stave off the frump.</p> <p>I'm chiming in in defense of gear as clothes. I live in Seattle, and I do see quite a lot of arguably stylish women wearing patagonia style and gear style coats every day of the week. It seems to be part of the norm, depending on where you live. I'm considering it myself at least for outerwear, it's becoming so common here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-the-ladies-sporty-luxe-or-skifrump#post-1405514 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 22:29:05 +0000 Elly 1405514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you, Angie. Any ideas for an alternative? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-the-ladies-sporty-luxe-or-skifrump#post-1405285 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 15:56:41 +0000 Angie 1405285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a thumbs down, Elly. Sorry to be a spanner. *sad face*. I'm the nay vote.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I find the bomber too long and straight. It's supposed be shorter and more "round" in silhouette to look sassy and sporty-luxe&nbsp;- does that make sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-the-ladies-sporty-luxe-or-skifrump#post-1405258 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 15:34:53 +0000 kellygirl 1405258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a good fit for layering! I actually looked for this at my Uniglo but didn't find it. I vote keep! Lol--on the kombucha. Ugh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-the-ladies-sporty-luxe-or-skifrump#post-1405241 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 15:02:56 +0000 Anonymous 1405241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like it, and no kombacha-making vibe&nbsp;&nbsp;going on with this cool jacket:) &nbsp; I hate kombacha. &nbsp;Anyways, you can wear it with confidence - it looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-the-ladies-sporty-luxe-or-skifrump#post-1405232 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 14:45:22 +0000 Anonymous 1405232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More thumbs up. It doesn't look too big, just big enough for your needs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-the-ladies-sporty-luxe-or-skifrump#post-1405227 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 14:38:55 +0000 jackiec 1405227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up from me - I like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-the-ladies-sporty-luxe-or-skifrump#post-1405208 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 13:20:06 +0000 Elly 1405208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it too big to look flattering? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-the-ladies-sporty-luxe-or-skifrump#post-1405119 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 04:18:16 +0000 Jaime 1405119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-the-ladies-sporty-luxe-or-skifrump#post-1405109 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 03:55:10 +0000 Anonymous 1405109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems luxe to me, with that rich, silky material down the front. The color also matches your hair nicely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-the-ladies-sporty-luxe-or-skifrump#post-1405078 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 03:02:02 +0000 Elly 1405078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Probably a mix of both casual and for going to work--- at work it would be worn with a skirt rather than jeans. For a good gauge of the formality of the workplace we do have a dress code but my supervisor regularly wears embroidered fleece vests with kitties on them.&nbsp; </p> <p>The body fit is ok-- I sized up becuase of the chest and shoulders-- it fits slim but not tailored in the front and a bit baggy in the back (i.e. looks more like a bomber-type jacket in the back). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-the-ladies-sporty-luxe-or-skifrump#post-1405064 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 02:36:49 +0000 Deborah 1405064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I agree with Kelly.&nbsp; Is this a casual weekend item or for going to work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-the-ladies-sporty-luxe-or-skifrump#post-1405056 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 02:25:01 +0000 kellygirl 1405056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really liked it when you initially posted it and I still do. I think it works as a sporty piece without looking like gear. It looks luxe--the combo of shiny/matte textures. How is the fit through the body? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-the-ladies-sporty-luxe-or-skifrump#post-1405046 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 01:58:40 +0000 Elly 1405046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the Unliquo "urban" fleece I asked about a couple of weeks ago. Basically, I enjoy the sporty vibe but definitely don't want to look like I make Kombucha (i.e. am wearing my gear fleece to work). This is the size that zips over my chest without pulling (over the thicker of my sweaters). Does it have potential? I'm hoping for a warm, non-leather black topper. </p> <p></p> <p>I edited to add some more photos that I lightened. </p>
