I like the design on the sleeves and the length of the jacket. I find that this length is more flattering on dresses and skirts than the longer styles and hence a lot more wearable. Buy!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carven-lilac-leather-jacket-yn#post-929576 Fri, 10 May 2013 16:53:57 +0000 bj1111 929576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <b>yay for listening to reality.</b><br /><br />bolded for super supporting this. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carven-lilac-leather-jacket-yn#post-929529 Fri, 10 May 2013 15:59:07 +0000 K. Period. 929529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Anna, good for you taking a realistic assessment of your needs and having the discipline to stick to it. &nbsp;<br /><br />Now, for the "later"&nbsp;enabling:&nbsp;When it goes on sale and you want to buy it, don't let the fact that lilac is a spring color stop you from trying it. &nbsp;We're both blondes, so I feel pretty confident in saying this: for blondes, lilac is a gray variation. Think of it as purpley gray or purpley silver. &nbsp;It goes brilliantly with charcoal, chocolate and navy for us. &nbsp;Because our blonde hair helps give something in the same color value for lighter tops to relate to, it doesn't look out of place on us in fall and winter. &nbsp;&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carven-lilac-leather-jacket-yn#post-929492 Fri, 10 May 2013 14:44:37 +0000 rae 929492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ah, that is a harsh realization, truly. If it is meant to be, then maybe the price will come down. But you do have truly fab clothes that it'd be a shame not to wear. The Improvd, the fireworks moto, just to name a few.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carven-lilac-leather-jacket-yn#post-929359 Fri, 10 May 2013 06:12:05 +0000 AJ 929359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I do think you look FAB in pastels.&nbsp; However, <b>kudos</b> to you for thinking this purchase through and not acting on impulse.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carven-lilac-leather-jacket-yn#post-929265 Fri, 10 May 2013 02:57:46 +0000 Ariadne 929265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love it and I think you should definitely try it. &nbsp;I have a faux leather jacket with similar arm detailing and was surprised to find it's very flattering. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carven-lilac-leather-jacket-yn#post-929254 Fri, 10 May 2013 02:52:38 +0000 annagybe 929254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks everyone. I thought about this on the bus ride home. I dearly love it, but my reality is different. Under my current work schedule I work five days a week, on call one weeknight a week, one weekend a month. I'm not going out all that often after work as I thought I'd be. I'm not even wearing my current clothes as often as I'd like.&nbsp;Due to the color it's really a spring/summer piece. I just would not get enough opportunity to wear it to justify the cost. I will stalk it and see if it drops further in price and reconsider.<br />This is a harsh realization for me. It would be a fantasy life purchase.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carven-lilac-leather-jacket-yn#post-929246 Fri, 10 May 2013 02:41:55 +0000 Thistle 929246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it and think it would be worth trying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carven-lilac-leather-jacket-yn#post-929244 Fri, 10 May 2013 02:39:13 +0000 Anonymous 929244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carven-lilac-leather-jacket-yn#post-929217 Fri, 10 May 2013 02:12:17 +0000 DonnaF 929217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Have you tried it on?&nbsp; You are able to rock pastels, and if extra upper arm width is not a concern, go for it!&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carven-lilac-leather-jacket-yn#post-929088 Thu, 09 May 2013 23:28:39 +0000 rachylou 929088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lilac would be a great colour on you, IMHO<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carven-lilac-leather-jacket-yn#post-929087 Thu, 09 May 2013 23:28:27 +0000 Angie 929087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thumbs up! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carven-lilac-leather-jacket-yn#post-929078 Thu, 09 May 2013 23:19:29 +0000 kellygirl 929078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like it. The color, the style. You look most excellent in pastels. Seems like it is worth trying if you can get past the price--ouch! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carven-lilac-leather-jacket-yn#post-929072 Thu, 09 May 2013 23:11:33 +0000 Nicole D 929072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beautiful. &nbsp;I didn't think of the sleeves...I guess they could be a bit puffy but &nbsp;I think you can wear them.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carven-lilac-leather-jacket-yn#post-929066 Thu, 09 May 2013 23:03:49 +0000 K. Period. 929066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Buy! You can always return it if you need to. It is hard to tell what lilacs really look like until you see them--they can be fab or awful. No reason not to take a chance with the order, unless it is final sale.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carven-lilac-leather-jacket-yn#post-929065 Thu, 09 May 2013 23:02:05 +0000 Caro in Oz 929065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's fab but what Ceit said -&nbsp;the length &amp; neckline could be tricky too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carven-lilac-leather-jacket-yn#post-929061 Thu, 09 May 2013 22:59:13 +0000 Anonymous 929061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd have to see it on. The exaggerated quilting at the delts might veer into Michelin Man territory. The colour is pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/carven-lilac-leather-jacket-yn#post-929054 Thu, 09 May 2013 22:48:26 +0000 annagybe 929054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The Neiman Marcus sale ends tonight.
