The tops you say look a indeed a bit too big on you now, but you can always take in around your bust -but I would advice keeping the original width on the hips/hem and not cutting off length at all, as a tunic has to be loose enough for moving around/driving a lot like you certainly do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bricks-and-mortar-came-through#post-2238971 Tue, 16 Nov 2021 07:27:32 +0000 Jenni NZ 2238971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You must all be the nicest bunch of women in the world! :)<br /> Thank you for getting excited on my behalf. It’s certainly a happy ending getting the new white jeans to go with the jacket. Now I just need remaining restrictions to go so I have some social events to wear them to! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bricks-and-mortar-came-through#post-2238926 Tue, 16 Nov 2021 00:28:08 +0000 Style Fan 2238926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah you found some great jeans!&nbsp; They look so good with your jacket.&nbsp; Orange is so beautiful with the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bricks-and-mortar-came-through#post-2238917 Mon, 15 Nov 2021 23:17:28 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2238917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was meaning to comment on your original post, but I was very excited to see this!&nbsp; &nbsp;Don't you just love happy endings?&nbsp; &nbsp;I love the jeans with the embroidered jacket, it's a beautiful&nbsp;Down Under Edit on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2021/09/17/outfit-formula-fall-pants-suit/">Angie's pants suits for fall</a>.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>I don't have a favorite, I think all of these looks tick the boxes for gorgeous style and palette.&nbsp; &nbsp;I do agree that the tops in 8 &amp; 9 are looking a bit large, but they might be great with a slimmer capri or legging when the temperature warms up.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bricks-and-mortar-came-through#post-2238837 Mon, 15 Nov 2021 16:03:29 +0000 Suz 2238837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenni,</b> I love the jeans! SO much better than those other pants! Great score. I predict you will wear them to death! They have so many features that work for you. They work great with the jacket!&nbsp;</p> <p>I do think the longer tops are looking a little on the large side, or maybe it's just that the proportion doesn't work quite as well any more. The top in #9 is fab, though!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bricks-and-mortar-came-through#post-2238831 Mon, 15 Nov 2021 15:18:46 +0000 cat2 2238831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are fun, and the shorter tops pair well with the jacket. If you were doing a longer top to cover up, I don’t think that’s necessary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bricks-and-mortar-came-through#post-2238780 Mon, 15 Nov 2021 09:26:48 +0000 Brooklyn 2238780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new pants are great. Love the subtle floral pattern. (Yet to meet a floral I didn’t like.) Perfect with the new jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bricks-and-mortar-came-through#post-2238779 Mon, 15 Nov 2021 08:53:07 +0000 Star (Lise) 2238779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These pants are super on you - great choice.&nbsp; I go off and on longer tops myself, usually with weight ups and downs.&nbsp; I take so long to edit something as soon as I do it becomes trendy again LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bricks-and-mortar-came-through#post-2238767 Mon, 15 Nov 2021 05:21:17 +0000 Katerina 2238767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans are perfection. I love them on you. The floral pattern and the hems are super cute. Also nice to have a full length for variety. They look really great with the new jacket. I like the jacket combination with all the tops. The outfit in no 9 is stunning on you - love it.<br /> And what Bijou said about the larger tops.<br /> You look wonderful Jenni! The softer short hairstyle is spot on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bricks-and-mortar-came-through#post-2238765 Mon, 15 Nov 2021 04:57:47 +0000 rachylou 2238765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants say JenniNZ all over. They belong in your closet. And your hair *is* totally excellent! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bricks-and-mortar-came-through#post-2238764 Mon, 15 Nov 2021 04:57:37 +0000 Bijou 2238764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, you are looking FABULOUS in those jeans and a perfect match for your jacket. I am so glad that your top in #9 still fits beautifully, such a great combination with the jeans. I love the shorter tops with the jacket. The length and fit of your top in #9 is perfect for you, I don't think you need to go longer than this.</p> <p>The tops in #7 and #8 look a bit big, I would wear them on hot summers days when you want things to be cool and loose - perhaps with long shorts. </p> <p>I love that your pants are from recycled materials too. You have to be happy about that!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bricks-and-mortar-came-through#post-2238760 Mon, 15 Nov 2021 04:05:12 +0000 Irina 2238760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Jenni, finding shorter tops is challenging. Can not tell how many of my tops were shorten by my tailor. Money and time spent. :(</p> <div><br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bricks-and-mortar-came-through#post-2238754 Mon, 15 Nov 2021 03:35:04 +0000 Jenni NZ 2238754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone for your thoughts. I don’t think I have worn those 2 identical shaped tops since the end of last summer/ early autumn, so about March for us. And I have lost about 3 more kilos since then, so maybe that’s just tipped into their looking loose.<br /> The pale green one is 2017 with 40 wears and the red one 2018 with 35 wears, both bought on sale so I think I will be happy to edit them out. I am a fan of longer tops but coping better with shorter these days- just quite difficult to find them short enough for a short person! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bricks-and-mortar-came-through#post-2238743 Mon, 15 Nov 2021 03:08:41 +0000 Irina 2238743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jeans, Jenni! Love them with a jacket and the top in #9. I do agree that two other tops look too big now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bricks-and-mortar-came-through#post-2238739 Mon, 15 Nov 2021 02:54:33 +0000 Anonymous 2238739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the new jeans are a great partner for your new jacket ! The 2 older tops do indeed look too big now , or at the very least they are not the right proportion with the jeans . I’m feeling this same issue right now with my older longer tops . Not the most current look - and I’m fighting the urge to pass on a few of my own . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bricks-and-mortar-came-through#post-2238732 Mon, 15 Nov 2021 02:30:24 +0000 Jaime 2238732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great find and I especially like them with the red and your jacket in #4!

I also like them with the top in #9 as it is more fitted and would be good for summer days.&nbsp; Can you get the ones in 7 and 8 taken in as they do seem big?&nbsp; I don't know if it would be worth it cost wise etc.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bricks-and-mortar-came-through#post-2238704 Mon, 15 Nov 2021 00:18:08 +0000 Carla 2238704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! &nbsp;Yes - it might be time to pass on the too big tops, and promote some others.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bricks-and-mortar-came-through#post-2238703 Mon, 15 Nov 2021 00:17:45 +0000 slim cat 2238703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great new white jeans and fabulous combos with floral jacket - score! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bricks-and-mortar-came-through#post-2238700 Sun, 14 Nov 2021 23:52:37 +0000 lozz_oz 2238700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for B+M shopping.

Those jeans are smashing, and this red/orange top works beautifully. How perfect to find such a subtle floral pattern to wear with that lovely jacket.</p> <p>The two tops in 7 &amp; 8 do look like they might be a bit big now, but the one in 9 looks good. I can see why you think you'll enjoy that outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bricks-and-mortar-came-through#post-2238671 Sun, 14 Nov 2021 22:24:29 +0000 Jenni NZ 2238671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After returning the very disappointing “Stone” pants which were not Stone at all to me, on Saturday I ventured to my favourite boutique. Generally I shop in the small back sale room there where I have found absolute gems. However, I occasionally pay full price and have again done that. These pants are NZ designed by a good brand and have several good things about them. Colour is called “Milk”, essentially white but not cropped or quite as white as my other pants, so have enough difference to make me happy to have two pairs. And fit that sort of vaguely hippy aesthetic I love. Fringed leg, and a pretty floral pattern embossed on them. Still gape at back waist but I can cope. So comfortable which is rare for me with jeans.<br /> I think some of my summer tops may now be too big for me, but I may still wear them for now.<br /> Pics 1-3 new Verge jeans<br /> Pics 4-6 trials with camisoles or tank underneath the jacket, and the new jeans. This won’t do for work as I would get too hot, but maybe for summer social events.<br /> Pics 7-8 these two fave identically shaped tops might be a bit big on me now I just noticed?<br /> Pic 9, think I will like this outfit.<br /> Thanks for looking. </p>
