(and you know I'm not that matchy myself) This reads whimsical to me. </p> <p>But yeah, pity it's not quite the right shape, that jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-986649 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 07:15:27 +0000 rachylou 986649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually kinda get a kick out of the matchy matchy... but they don't match in style. The jacket is very country. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-986543 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 02:52:08 +0000 Anonymous 986543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't feel bad on the DVF dress. It looked soo bad on me, I probably would have all of you beat. It was also so short. Sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-986523 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 02:08:45 +0000 goldenpig 986523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! Yes, it was fun to try on, but it appears that yes, there is a limit to even my match-matchiness! Which is why it didn't come home with me. Also agree with you that the jacket seemed strangely boxy and puffy on me. I tried the blue one with the cinched waist, but they only had a M. I was concerned that it looked too casual on me with all the pockets on the front. I guess maybe I'm not meant to wear a quilted jacket. </p> <p>Another side note, I tried two DVF wrap dresses, and struck out again. I guess my body is not made for DVF wrap dresses! (At least I have the Banana Republic one, and Maggy London one, and several faux wrap dresses). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-986507 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 01:35:47 +0000 Echo 986507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not terribly fond of the jacket, either. It isn't even the matchy-matchy that bothers me, just that the jacket isn't fab enough on you. But the bag is simply TDF - GORGEOUS! And the skirt you are wearing in the pictures is fab, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-986445 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 00:46:20 +0000 Transcona Shannon 986445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry Natalie but I'm another nay on the jacket. The fit isn't quite fabulous enough for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-986361 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 23:07:38 +0000 Parsley 986361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you DO look fabulous in red, that's for sure!<br />But I think the shape of this jacket isn't as pretty on you as some of the coats you already have. I bet the belted one that you were looking for will look way better on you- your initial instincts were good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-986357 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 22:57:34 +0000 Anonymous 986357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, another nay on that jacket. I have an ultra poison eye for that particular Burberry. It reminds me of Bunny from SATC and the pretentious NYC Upper East Side ladies ( some - not all of them of course). That Burberry is standard issue there. You are too fab for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-986348 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 22:49:29 +0000 Adelfa 986348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The quilted-quilted really takes the matchy over the top! I think you look prettier in fabrics that are soft enough to show your lovely shape.</p> <p>Is that the Chanel lipstick? It looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-986108 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 16:50:41 +0000 CocoLion 986108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I'm another nay vote on the jacket. &nbsp;I might like it better in black, with a different cut. Perhaps with a difference cut, maybe a lower stance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-986104 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 16:45:07 +0000 cloud9 986104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think it's too much quilting... like Angie says, in small doses otherwise too 'utility' looking.&nbsp; &nbsp; I agree the purse should be the STAR and not compete.&nbsp; But sure fun for play dr.ess up. &nbsp; I'm also don't think the shape of the jacket fits your lady-bombshell style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-986095 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 16:40:37 +0000 TraceyLiz65 986095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too am not fond ot the shape of the jacket. &nbsp;It is too matchy matchy as well. That purse deserves to be the STAR!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-986094 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 16:38:56 +0000 Anonymous 986094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this jacket is too boxy and shapeless for you. I don't think it will make you happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-986028 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 15:07:49 +0000 rae 986028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Betti said. And the bag needs to pop - it shouldn't be camouflaged on a quilted background, I think. Plus for some reason I feel this jacket looks to rugged for the Demure Bombshell. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-985937 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 12:53:05 +0000 Karie 985937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like matchy, but I think it's too much red. Even with the jacket in another color, I fear it may be too many quilted items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-985927 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 12:34:20 +0000 Ornella 985927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd steer away from too much quilted items in one outfit.</p> <p>It's a lovely jacket, but I wonder if it's too boxy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-985925 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 12:29:39 +0000 Betti 985925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them, but&nbsp;separately. Together it looks too Queen Elizabeth-ish for your age </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-985918 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 12:14:21 +0000 Vildy 985918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well, <i><b>I</b></i> love it.&nbsp; You should see the vintage photos of campus coeds from the 50's who have fabric flats matching their plaid skirts. :D&nbsp; Seriously, I do love the two together. Looks like one garment in two pieces, if you see what I mean.&nbsp; I do two different things with handbags. Sometimes I want a bag hanging lower and echoing the top, jacket and sometimes I want a shorter shoulder bag that is much the same color as the top piece.&nbsp; The Horror of Matching is a relatively modern trend and like all trends will be passing away any time now.&nbsp; Just saw photos of a high powered woman executive who favors brightly colored twin sets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-985898 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 11:37:19 +0000 Suz 985898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makes me smile, too, Natalie! I wouldn't wear them together, but don't they look like happy siblings?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-985894 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 11:34:45 +0000 missvee 985894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The black would be better with the red bag but I love the colour of the red jacket against your complexion. Maybe you could just wear it on Miss Scarlet's day off? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-985886 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 11:28:02 +0000 goldenpig 985886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or maybe a black quilted jacket instead? Is that still too matchy with the quilted red purse? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-985876 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 11:18:30 +0000 missvee 985876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too matchy matchy for my taste. To me they fight for attention. I'd like to see the jacket with jeans and your studded black bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burberry-quilted-red-jacketmade-me-smile-too-matchy-matchy#post-985872 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 11:12:17 +0000 goldenpig 985872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went to try on some NAS stuff and was looking at the cobalt quilted Burberry jacket&nbsp;on sale ($459), but what they had in stock&nbsp;(M)&nbsp;was too big on me and it looked super casual with all those pockets on the front. They had a red S one that was not on sale ($495), but&nbsp;I couldn't resist trying it&nbsp;on. It put a smile on my face. But&nbsp;&nbsp;with the quilted Chanel red purse,&nbsp;it may be too matchy matchy even for me! What do you think--should I go back to get it? </p>
