I am not very good at pairing things up, so will likely ask for help with this. &nbsp;I am still a little worried about the size, so maybe will get the gumption up to post a photo.&nbsp;</p> <p>alaskagirl: Thank you for the enthusiasm I checked out Aida's recent photos with her moto and made note, especially of the proportions between the moto and her top.</p> <p>El Cee - Thank you -- I was hoping that all the things you said about the topper were true!</p> <p>Deb: &nbsp;I hadn't thought about texture - but of course you are exactly right.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie: Thank you!! The thumbs up means a lot and will give me confidence when I pair up the silver shoes and sparkly moto!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-shimmer----a-statement-or-pattern#post-1640213 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 14:12:47 +0000 Angie 1640213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice jacket.</p> <p>Sparkle - worn day or night - is an ongoing trend.&nbsp;</p> <p>YES. By all means wear silver shoes and jeans with the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-shimmer----a-statement-or-pattern#post-1640028 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 02:58:11 +0000 deb 1640028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that jacket can be either a&nbsp;statement or a texture but do not see it as a print. If you put it on with a column of cobalt it would be a statement in my mind. If you wore it with white,&nbsp;I see&nbsp;it as a texture.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-shimmer----a-statement-or-pattern#post-1639970 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 00:19:46 +0000 El Cee 1639970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that is a lovely jacket. It looks contemporary/on trend to my eye and is one of those pieces that you could dress up or down. I personally love a little bit of shine worn in a casual manner (e.g. - with jeans). Silver shoes would be terrific paired with this moto.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-shimmer----a-statement-or-pattern#post-1639921 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 22:32:31 +0000 catgirl 1639921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket is 100% lovely and I would wear it with silver shoes in a heartbeat!&nbsp; Look at some of Aida's stylings of this length. </p> <p><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/shopsale-clothing/29174364.jsp#/" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....4364.jsp#/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-shimmer----a-statement-or-pattern#post-1639864 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 21:30:52 +0000 rabbit 1639864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like a lovely jacket! &nbsp;</p> <p>For me it looks on trend, I see shimmery pieces in the shops (mostly around the holidays, but not only). &nbsp;I'd totally wear it with other metallics, or without. &nbsp; I think with the neutral color it would be fairly easy to dress up or down, but you would have to put together some test outfits. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>If it's snug I'd definitely test it with the exact under-layers you are thinking of, because if it doesn't work or the length is wrong for the bottoms you want to wear, that would be something to consider. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-shimmer----a-statement-or-pattern#post-1639845 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 21:19:51 +0000 BrieN 1639845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I made a custom find of it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-shimmer----a-statement-or-pattern#post-1639680 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 17:44:43 +0000 rabbit 1639680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not Angie, but do you have a photo of it? &nbsp;It's a little difficult to picture without knowing the color and seeing the shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-shimmer----a-statement-or-pattern#post-1639666 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 17:15:33 +0000 BrieN 1639666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie! Congratulations again on 10 years of YLF!&nbsp;</p> <p>I picked up a new-to-me tweed moto and am on the fence about it. Typically given the first twinge of discomfort I'd return it, but I am trying to be more open minded. I am trying to think of ways I could wear it given that it is snug.&nbsp;</p> <p>The moto has a bit of silver metallic thread running through it, so it shimmers. It's probably a 3 out of 10 on the shiny scale... sort of looks like a light dusting of sparkles.&nbsp;</p> <p>1) Is this an older trend? I worry about that when I'm shopping consignment. I saw the BR sweater you featured earlier this season has a bit of shimmer so I am hoping it's still on trend.&nbsp;</p> <p>2) Would you ever combine this jacket with silver shoes? (like the Topshop ones from this season, or a more muted pewter shoe?) or is the sparkle meant to be worn alone? &nbsp;</p> <p>3) Does the shimmer make it a dressy piece? or something to put with jeans to mix it up?</p> <p>Thank you in advance for your help! </p>
