Fabulous Suz should have fabulous things, no matter the price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-jacket#post-703257 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 02:42:02 +0000 Anonymous 703257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to vote "leave it" but see that you've decided. The length can be problematic to style when you're not tall and the shoulder seams don't look like they are right for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-jacket#post-703255 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 02:25:53 +0000 Suz 703255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks again, all. </p> <p>You know....I may have overstated the avant-garde thing, LOL. A HUGE part of me still adores a retro look. But the thing is, I already have a fitted, high stance black wool crepe jacket. I don't care what anybody says, I feel fab in it, so I am going to continue to wear it! But this one felt a little different. I think it was the collar that was the nagging problem. Glad I had your input. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-jacket#post-703252 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 02:12:35 +0000 MNsara 703252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good choice! Maybe a year ago you would have felt fab in it, but based on what you've said lately about your style direction -- this wasn't in line with the new you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-jacket#post-703189 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 00:30:44 +0000 Deborah 703189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz glad you left it behind. I actually realy like the jacket and can see the retro stylings but I don't think it's the direction you are moving in. Good call. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-jacket#post-703151 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 23:38:14 +0000 MsMary 703151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, too funny! That is just like the jackets I keep wanting to buy at the thrift store! And every time one of them comes home with me, it only gets worn once or twice before the YLF ladies convince me that Those Jackets are not quite current these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-jacket#post-703063 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 21:33:19 +0000 Jilly 703063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this has a lot of potential. What about worn open with a floaty, printed blouse and skinny jeans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-jacket#post-703058 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 21:24:29 +0000 Suz 703058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gaylene, I would never have bought it at full price, especially since I have a black fitted jacket with a retro feel already! So yes, it is staying in the store. </p> <p>Thank you for steering me in the right direction. Those $10 will go towards a much smarter purchase. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-jacket#post-703057 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 21:23:42 +0000 Angie 703057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to vote pass too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-jacket#post-703055 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 21:18:59 +0000 Gaylene 703055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you feel this jacket going to help you move into your next stage? Does it provide that "happiness quotient" when you put it on? And the real zinger--would you consider purchasing it at full price?</p> <p>ETA: We posted at the same time. Glad it's not going home with you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-jacket#post-703054 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 21:18:31 +0000 Suz 703054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay - I have left it. Thank you, all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-jacket#post-703052 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 21:16:30 +0000 Mo 703052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-jacket#post-703050 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 21:12:40 +0000 Anonymous 703050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote pass. Even $10 is too much when it's not fab enough for you, Suz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-jacket#post-703047 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 21:10:40 +0000 CocoLion 703047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It feels retro to me. If it is an item of great quality, I would hang on to it but it does not feel "now" to me -- it's the high stance and all of the buttons that throw me. Right now jackets have few buttons (if any) and low stances. I do have some high quality designer jackets that I have been hanging on to like this, as I have the space. I like to keep my high end purchases, and yes I do pull them out when the style trends again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-jacket#post-703044 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 21:09:41 +0000 Anonymous 703044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, but I don't think it's as edgy as you are wanting to go. And if you aren't in love it's not even worth the $10... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-jacket#post-703038 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 21:02:39 +0000 JR 703038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's fine, but not marvellous. Is this the $10 one? If it's good quality construction, fine might be good enough at that price. Please forgive me, I am an incurable cheapskate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-jacket#post-703036 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 21:01:31 +0000 annagybe 703036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big collar plus those shoulders seem to overwhelm you. Especially the big collar, it's not really as dramatic as I envisioned it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-jacket#post-703035 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 20:58:56 +0000 Suz 703035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the black jacket I mentioned in another thread. It is actually German. Not the greatest pic but what do you think? I am inclined to let it go. </p>
