It was just startling to see someone that fierce-looking (in the true sense of fierce) wearing that same jacket.</p> <p>I am certain you will look lovely (and far less intimidating). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242621 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 23:13:31 +0000 Kate 242621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>haha, yeah, I think I'll be wearing it quite a bit differently! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242619 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 23:11:26 +0000 catgirl 242619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. That is QUITE a model. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242442 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 18:18:48 +0000 Kate 242442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rute, that's not me wearing it. I will post pictures once it arrives though!</p> <p>Also, I think it's from fall 2004. Here's the runway look from Ingwa Melero. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242436 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 18:10:49 +0000 rute 242436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit of the jacket is amazing! It looks like it was made for you!<br /> The fit is not dated, but it makes difficult to use that jacket in a casual style.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242364 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 15:24:54 +0000 Kate 242364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket has been ordered!</p> <p>Unfortunately there are no returns, but I'm hopeful that I will be able to adjust the fit based on how I modify the closure. I'll keep everyone posted!</p> <p>In terms of how to wear it, I am imagining it will work with jeans and v-neck tops (and maybe some scoop necks), with a couple of my dresses, and with some of my skirts. Most of my tops are fitted and simple, which I think will work well with the jacket.</p> <p>Also, being the designer-inept person I am, I completely neglected to mention that it's an Ingwa Melero from Bergdorf Goodman. I have absolutely no idea what year it's from, but found that they've produced some similar jackets before, sometimes even with that same closure: <a href="http://www.ingwamelero.com/images/news73.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.ingwamelero.com/images/news73.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242349 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 14:39:12 +0000 rashi 242349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm new here so excuse me for jumping in. Yeah, I'd change that closure. It doesn't match the jacket. Also, have you thought about what other items in your wardrobe that could go with this? I love bolero type jackets also, but there are only certain things in my wardrobe that I can wear them with. The shape of the jacket (the shortness and tightness) would slightly worry me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242347 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 14:33:07 +0000 Kristine 242347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's gorgeous! I actually like the closure. The only thing about blazers is that you never know about fit. Do they offer returns? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242275 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 07:00:35 +0000 RoseandJoan 242275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well this does confirm my suspicions about my tastes but I love the jacket and like the closure (combination of rugged and delicate). I hope you ordered the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242251 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 05:19:55 +0000 Jenava 242251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! I will fit perfectly with your wardrobe. go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242238 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 04:53:41 +0000 taylor 242238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jacket... update the closure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242167 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 03:00:29 +0000 Mo 242167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, very nice! Rich colors and great texture! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242163 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 02:52:59 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 242163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colors. Go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242162 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 02:51:21 +0000 Becky 242162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jacket, and agree with the consensus on the fastener. Is it returnable if the fit isn't fab? I find fit on jackets to be very tricky (but that may be just me). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242139 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 01:41:04 +0000 marsh 242139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow the texture and colors in the jacket are amazing. I agree that the closure should be changed, but aside from that it looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242138 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 01:39:54 +0000 Maya 242138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I don't think you should remove the closure. I bet it wouldn't be too hard to create a new one. Perhaps a snap closure or hook-n-eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242133 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 01:30:29 +0000 catgirl 242133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My only worry, since it always happens to me, is that if it doesn't fit exactly, the front will hang open too much. I've ordered open front jackets that seem like exactly the right measurements, but still gape open. That said, it's not a huge amount of $, so if you are in love, it's part of the thrill of online buying! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242103 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 00:40:20 +0000 Jonesy 242103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure, Kate. I would have to see this on you. Without a closure, I wonder if it would resist staying closed, so it would sort of hang funny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242098 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 00:31:26 +0000 Vix 242098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that is...sparkly! I thought it was just a silver-tone metal, so scratch my advice upthread. </p> <p>Good news is it looks easy to remove. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242091 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 00:25:53 +0000 ticksgirl 242091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bet you could easily replace that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242090 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 00:25:03 +0000 Maya 242090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe you can change it to something else?</p> <p>Edit: I see you already explored that option. Seeing the closeup pictures really highlight the lovely colors.</p> <p>And I don't hate your colors at all! I love pastels and muted earthy tones...just not on me. They look rich and beautiful on the right person and in the right combinations though.</p> <p>The only colors I really hate universally are from the khaki/beige family. Not warm caramels and rich taupes, but a certain family of colors that look glaringly similar to my kitty's hairballs :\ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242089 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 00:24:15 +0000 Vix 242089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colors for you! </p> <p>If you can't replace the closure, then I'd try a bronze paint pen...it will knock the impact waaay back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242088 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 00:23:04 +0000 Kate 242088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella, I'm the same size as the measurements she listed for the jacket. If it is too tight, I will DEFINITELY remove the closure and wear it open.</p> <p>Here's a picture of the closure. I think it wouldn't be too hard to remove. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242085 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 00:20:13 +0000 ticksgirl 242085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shape, fabric, and color, but I agree with Maya about the closure--maybe it's just the photo, but it seems a little too delicate for the tweedy fabric. But if it doesn't bother you, then I say go for it as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242084 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 00:18:52 +0000 bella 242084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to make the same observation as Maya. The closure looks a bit odd to me. Also, are you the same size as the woman in this picture? This jacket is a bit too tight for her and hence if so, might also be a little too tight for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242083 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 00:18:06 +0000 Kate 242083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I saw you were the first to respond and I was afraid you would hate it because of the colors. So thanks for not hating it!</p> <p>I'm honestly not a big fan of the closure either, but I'm willing to overlook it (or possibly replace it, once I can see how it's attached to the fabric...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242079 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 00:14:08 +0000 Maya 242079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's pretty and those are certainly your colors. I'm not a huge fan of the closure, personally, but that's just up to taste. Go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-i-buy-can-you-confirm-that-this-jacket-is-amazing#post-242078 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 00:13:15 +0000 Kate 242078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was browsing blazers on etsy, and came across this gem. It's my size, and $26 including shipping!</p> <p>To further convince myself that it's not am impulse buy (I'm on the market for blazers, and it's my colors) can I get some other opinions? It's stunning, right? </p>
