That way you can try your wildcard without going broke. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-a-wildcard-statement-piece-or-just-one-of-those-things-to-drool-over#post-1495808 Sun, 24 May 2015 21:57:26 +0000 unfrumped 1495808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, voice of reason, downer voice, whatever--will you want to wear it often, or do you have events year after year where this would be killer? <br />For me, I'd end up covering it up too much for warmth when weather is cool, and then it'd be too hot when weather is warm, but that might not be an issue for you.<br />You could always try it, and see if it lives up to expectations--then if it does, uh-oh, you have a dilemma!</p> <p>I think this is one of those things where it's not the cost per se, or that is, not the cost of the one item. It is, where does this fit in your wardrobe plan and budget? You don't have to wear it every weekend or even every month, if it fits into the grand scheme in a way you can live with.</p> <p>I think it also illustrates the&nbsp;rationale behind&nbsp;not continually buying random things that are just okay and that we don't need, or even too <u>many</u> great items so that they take up space not being worn very often ("splitting wears" amongst large numbers of items), so that if one is running a lean wardrobe and careful budget, there will be room for <u>a few </u>"wildcard" or just "wild" purchases (always assuming that there is a budget limit somewhere). Then one can evaluate, was that worth it, or do I prefer for my big expenses to be big-wear items (daily handbag or oft-worn boots; winter coat). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-a-wildcard-statement-piece-or-just-one-of-those-things-to-drool-over#post-1495741 Sun, 24 May 2015 17:51:44 +0000 rachylou 1495741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's gorgeous is what it is (!!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-a-wildcard-statement-piece-or-just-one-of-those-things-to-drool-over#post-1495653 Sun, 24 May 2015 13:04:21 +0000 Janet 1495653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just took another look at it (and drooled), and I think it could be worn to an office job, if it's worn under a blazer. You'd still see some of the print, but the sheerness is mainly on the sleeves and would be covered up. I bet you could even layer this over a slim long-sleeved black tee for a little extra coverage and warmth in colder weather. I can see this being dressed up or down in a lot of different ways, actually. Flared jeans, trousers, full skirt, pencil skirt, leather or denim jacket, etc... Have I talked you into it yet? Can you tell I want someone to get it and wear it so I can live vicariously? I'd be tempted to order it just to try it on for grins, but if I actually liked it on me, it might be too tempting. I love how Nordstrom's site is so helpfully telling me what size would be my best fit too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-a-wildcard-statement-piece-or-just-one-of-those-things-to-drool-over#post-1495594 Sun, 24 May 2015 03:16:43 +0000 fuzzylogic 1495594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, that is outstanding!!! Definitely drool-worthy! Sadly, that is all I'll be doing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-a-wildcard-statement-piece-or-just-one-of-those-things-to-drool-over#post-1495588 Sun, 24 May 2015 02:57:01 +0000 Deb 1495588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a statement, wildcard and something to drool over all in one. Exquisite in its detail, this is a beautiful piece. If you adore it, I'd go for what you love. I have many sweaters that I've spent that much on, without any regret. A classy, non permanent way to wear tattoos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-a-wildcard-statement-piece-or-just-one-of-those-things-to-drool-over#post-1495563 Sun, 24 May 2015 01:28:34 +0000 Janet 1495563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. If I could have back my 25-yo body, and my clothing budget from a couple of years ago, I'd want it myself! I agree that it's a distinctive, timeless piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-a-wildcard-statement-piece-or-just-one-of-those-things-to-drool-over#post-1495562 Sun, 24 May 2015 01:23:22 +0000 em 1495562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of charging it to the art budget rather than the clothing budget.&nbsp;</p> <p>Donnat, do you really think so?</p> <p>I can't get over how...innovative? different? creative? I think it is. I can't stop looking at it, either... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-a-wildcard-statement-piece-or-just-one-of-those-things-to-drool-over#post-1495539 Sat, 23 May 2015 23:35:24 +0000 donnat 1495539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could probably still wear that in 10 years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-a-wildcard-statement-piece-or-just-one-of-those-things-to-drool-over#post-1495536 Sat, 23 May 2015 23:28:03 +0000 Caro in Oz 1495536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Olivegreen &amp; Angie - if you love it &amp; can afford it then it's really worth trying. I can see it being very versatile e.g. with a long skirt &amp; heels in a formal setting &amp; with jeans at the weekend </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-a-wildcard-statement-piece-or-just-one-of-those-things-to-drool-over#post-1495529 Sat, 23 May 2015 23:10:46 +0000 Angie 1495529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of the above. A wild card can be a statement piece as well as something to drool over.&nbsp;</p> <p>If an item sparks joy and you think you'll wear it - by all means get it if you can afford it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-a-wildcard-statement-piece-or-just-one-of-those-things-to-drool-over#post-1495513 Sat, 23 May 2015 22:38:02 +0000 Olivegreen 1495513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not Angie, but if you can afford it, this is a piece of art and I would hang it when not taking it out for public viewing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-this-a-wildcard-statement-piece-or-just-one-of-those-things-to-drool-over#post-1495506 Sat, 23 May 2015 21:55:30 +0000 em 1495506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/jean-paul-gautier-tattoo-print-tulle-turtleneck/4044557">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/je.....ck/4044557</a>?</p> <p>I can't see it being particularly versatile and I don't think I'd wear it to an office job but gosh. If I wear it every weekend for 3 months can I justify $500 for a sheer turtleneck? </p>
