It's in a bright, cobalt-esque blue, in fact it reminds me of the blue fabric you showed us for your cocktail dress. I think it's a very flattering colour for you.</p> <p>It's pleather and what makes it special, aside from the colour, is the crinkle fabric (adds textural interest) and the asymmetric zipper and zipper pockets. I've no idea how good it looks irl, but hopefully someone has seen it in stores.</p> <p><a href="http://www.lanebryant.com/tops/jackets-vests/asymetric-crinkle-jacket/4019c4034p56688/index.pro?Mcatn=Jackets+%26+vests&#038;Mcatpn=Tops&#038;Mcatg=category_root&#038;Mcatp=cat_4019%406000&#038;Mcat=4034%406000" rel="nofollow">http://www.lanebryant.com/tops.....034%406000</a></p> <p>Oh, and I know your not currently looking for a black leather jacket, but this one is fantastic, very feminine and elegant.<br /> <a href="http://www1.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?id=prdi24030&#038;rootCategory=cat90032&#038;catId=cat80008&#038;sortKey=Default&#038;section=Sale&#038;conceptIdUnderSale=cat90032" rel="nofollow">http://www1.talbots.com/online.....e=cat90032</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-best-jacket-options#post-162411 Wed, 26 May 2010 20:48:30 +0000 Rosie 162411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I totally agree about that white jacket. I may have to check it out myself. It is truly well-made and full of interest. The back is almost a peplum style but very subtle.</p> <p>Edit: duh...it says peplum in the description. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-best-jacket-options#post-162403 Wed, 26 May 2010 20:32:13 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 162403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle - the white linen jacket that Angie linked to is gorgeous- it is an amazing combination of structure through the waist and it drapes in a very attractive way through the collar. I am sure someone else could give you a better description - I'm sorry, but I am not a very good descriptive writer so am not doing justice, but it is one of the most beautiful jackets that I have ever seen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-best-jacket-options#post-162398 Wed, 26 May 2010 20:14:46 +0000 Rosie 162398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, this jacket may not be exactly what you're looking for as it sort of combines a moto with color, but it's a light twill instead of silk. I got it yesterday in Adriatic, which is a light blue. (I need help on the blue description there.) There are lots of pretty, spring and summer colors.<br /> <a href="http://www1.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?id=prdi24258&#038;rootCategory=cat90030&#038;catId=cat80008&#038;sortKey=Default&#038;section=Sale&#038;conceptIdUnderSale=cat90030" rel="nofollow">http://www1.talbots.com/online.....e=cat90030</a></p> <p>I got it in a 14 women's petite, which usually doesn't work for me, but the back length was a lot better that the regular sizes and the shorter sleeves made sense with the color. It looks good with one button done, several done, or open. You're also not really supposed to wear it like a blazer because you can see the small buttons on the inside, but it looks cute that way, too. At $54.99 it's a pretty nice buy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-best-jacket-options#post-162054 Wed, 26 May 2010 03:36:50 +0000 Mac 162054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And, Maya (or any of the rest of you, for that matter...) - We'd love to have you join our Toronto YLF Meetup.

I'll ship it with the other items I'm picking up for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-best-jacket-options#post-161979 Wed, 26 May 2010 01:58:15 +0000 FiestyWife 161979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I just LOVE the second jacket! It is amazing and would look great in my closet! It would up the style quotient a ton that's for sure. Would it work for a pretty pear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-best-jacket-options#post-161978 Wed, 26 May 2010 01:57:09 +0000 Michelle 161978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianna, you're right, we totally did discuss it and I forgot. In that case I know what size to request.<br /> Angie, what does the blue print look like on the Caslon jacket? You're right, I'm not wildly in love with the idea of an all-linen piece, but my confidence in you is such that I'll at least think about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-best-jacket-options#post-161973 Wed, 26 May 2010 01:53:07 +0000 Angie 161973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Must get the LB denim moto jacket! Thanks to all who are helping Michelle get that. </p> <p>How about this in blue. Gorgeous with black bottoms and white pearls: </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3084288/0~2376776~2374327~6007059~6007113~6013122?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6013122&#038;P=1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....2&#038;P=1</a></p> <p>This is beautiful in white too: </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3091084/0~2376776~2374327~6007059~6007113~6013122?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6013122&#038;P=1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....2&#038;P=1</a></p> <p>Hmmm. You might not like the linen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-best-jacket-options#post-161969 Wed, 26 May 2010 01:43:39 +0000 marianna 161969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, I think we've discussed the LB moto jacket sizing before, right? I think you should get the size I got! I think it's a safe bet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-best-jacket-options#post-161956 Wed, 26 May 2010 01:21:24 +0000 Maya 161956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle and Mac are meeting up?! Someone book me a ticket to Toronto! I hope you have a blast. I can't imagine the kind of killer conversation that will happen when the two of you get together...</p> <p>I hope you are able to round out your jacket collection Michelle. I am no help since I know nothing about either, but it looks like you are covered. I'm sure you will look great in whatever you find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-best-jacket-options#post-161955 Wed, 26 May 2010 01:16:31 +0000 Michelle 161955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mak, how incredibly kind!! I would love to take you up on this offer, if you really truly don't mind. If you get this on time, drop me a PM and we'll sort out details.<br /> Rosie, if I typically take 18 or 2x in things like buttondowns but currently sport 1x dresses, is 18 the best route to go for the jacket? Does LB tend to run small? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-best-jacket-options#post-161917 Tue, 25 May 2010 23:14:16 +0000 Rosie 161917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How nice! Maybe Marianna and I can help you figure out the right size based on the ones we have and our measurements. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-best-jacket-options#post-161916 Tue, 25 May 2010 23:11:38 +0000 Mac 161916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle - I'm heading on a very last-minute trip to Los Angeles. I fly out tomorrow, return Tuesday morning. Just a thought... if you want the Lane Bryant jacket, I'd be delighted to try to buy one for you at a store and bring it back in my suitcase to Toronto next week. You could just pay me for it when we see each other. </p> <p>Not sure how you'd return it if you didn't like it but at least shipping it back would be cheaper than paying for shipping both To and From Canada. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-best-jacket-options#post-161789 Tue, 25 May 2010 19:11:16 +0000 Michelle 161789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rosie, that kind of thing would be absolutely perfect, but it doesn't have to be that one. Any silk moto in a light colour would be fine with me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-best-jacket-options#post-161754 Tue, 25 May 2010 18:38:08 +0000 Rosie 161754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK! Michelle, are you talking about the cropped INC silk moto? I have it in cream, but I don't think it's online anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-best-jacket-options#post-161752 Tue, 25 May 2010 18:34:20 +0000 Michelle 161752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rosie, you're a sweetheart!! Thank you....I'll let you know!<br /> Marianna, what colour is your silk one? Ideally I'd love to find something like that in white or cream, and I thought all the INC ones were dark? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-best-jacket-options#post-161735 Tue, 25 May 2010 18:17:22 +0000 Rosie 161735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not Angie, but I'm happy to order that LB jacket for you and ship it up there! Let me know. </p> <p>I think your jacket list sounds terrific! Would round out the closet well. I'll keep my eyes open. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-best-jacket-options#post-161732 Tue, 25 May 2010 18:13:24 +0000 marianna 161732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a silk moto from Macy's... not sure if they're still being sold though. I can take a look for you if you're interested.</p> <p>Also I highly recommend the LB denim moto! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-best-jacket-options#post-161730 Tue, 25 May 2010 18:10:21 +0000 Michelle 161730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As mentioned in last week's post, I've finally seen the light on jackets and intend to build my collection, which currently features mostly black options (the sole exception being a lovely white blazer and moch-adored brown leather moto). I have three different types of jackets I'd love to add:<br /> 1. A denim moto (am considering the Lane Bryant one if I can figure out a way to take possession of it up here)<br /> 2. A white/cream jacket, in either moto or military styling, in a summer-appropriate fabric (the idea of a silk moto just makes me swoon).<br /> 3. A jacket in some kind of cheerful, Michelle-esque colour. </p> <p>In your travels, have you come across anything that might fit the bill for my wish list?</p> <p>Thanks, ladies! </p>
