I still like the lightest one the best. The cut of it is more unique. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186912 Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:49:33 +0000 Sparky 186912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your darker jacket, please don't get rid of it! I like the NAS one on you too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186657 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 18:08:17 +0000 Scarlet 186657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, if it's the body that bothers you, I would think that is probably one of the easiest alterations to make on a jacket aside from sleeve length. The length of the jacket didn't even occur to me as a problem, but I would defer to Angie on this question. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186643 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:52:39 +0000 Rosie 186643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, wow...ok great!</p> <p>Scarlet, thanks for the honesty. I think I am worried it is too long and it feels big in the body. I wonder if there are things that can be done about the latter before alterations. Before I do anything I will create some outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186638 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:46:47 +0000 Scarlet 186638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh, I thought I commented this morning, but maybe I was late for work. </p> <p>Rosie, to be honest I really like the new jacket the best by far. The others are fine, but this one is special I don't think it looks like it doesn't fit, but if you don't feel good, maybe try to figure out where the problem lies. With jackets I always focus on the shoulders first. It's hard to tell on these photos if the shoulder sits just right, so I can't say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186633 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:41:00 +0000 Sarah 186633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it can be done, they can do it. They are about to alter my husband's leather jacket, so... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186632 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:40:10 +0000 Rosie 186632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to get the NAS skirt altered, too. I have never gotten anything altered by Nordstrom...is this something you think is within their alterations or expertise? </p> <p>Thank you all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186626 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:34:29 +0000 Debbie 186626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the NAS one on you. Size down if you can and if not I agree with Sarah try and have it altered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186624 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:31:19 +0000 Sarah 186624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd make an appointment with a tailor to see what they think. I've had quite a few tops and jackets altered, and I think that would be fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186623 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:29:29 +0000 Rosie 186623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For those of you more used to altering, is this jacket easily altered? I'm not opposed to that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186621 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:28:07 +0000 Sarah 186621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I were you, I'd just keep the NAS one and have it altered or try the smaller size. It just looks crisper to me, I don't know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186615 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:24:58 +0000 Rosie 186615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will keep you all posted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186381 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 06:24:31 +0000 RoseandJoan 186381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The conclusion you have just made sum up my thoughts Rosie, this style of jacket looks perfect on you I hope you can size down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186308 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 04:26:15 +0000 Rosie 186308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the detail/style on the NAS jacket. It also may not look as big on me in person, as Taylor mentioned. I'm not used to things feeling so big, but I will play with the styling a bit. </p> <p>Per my usual frustration, I'm between sizes on the jacket. The XL was a bit snug and the arms itched, and this one just feels big. </p> <p>I'm glad everyone likes jacket #2! Perhaps no matter what I will pass on jacket 1 since I don't get much wear out of it anyway. </p> <p>Joy, good idea - Michelle and I are emailing about it and trying to see if it will work. Thanks for thinking of it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186298 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 04:13:36 +0000 Angie 186298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the NAS jacket, Rosie! Just one size down maybe? And your hair looks KILLER. Clever, Taylor :0)</p> <p>I also love jacket #2. It fits beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186210 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 02:42:41 +0000 Anonymous 186210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, is it possible that the NAS jacket you have is Michelle's size? (just in case you don't keep it). I agree with Taylor that it looks better in person. The rich detailing doesn't show up well in photos. I like them all but can see that the NAS jacket may be too big for you and is much like your other jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186209 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 02:42:38 +0000 Sveta 186209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like you old jackets. My favorite is #2 though.<br /> The new one seems too long and maybe too big too. Fit is so important for a jacket - bad fit can ruin the best jacket!<br /> It is a gorgeous jacket though - I have tried it on in the store and had hard time to choose between this one and Hinge. Hinge won in the end... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186200 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 02:33:44 +0000 taylor 186200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In defence of the new one...It does look better on in person!!</p> <p>But in this photo it does look a bit too big.</p> <p>I like the other 2 also...no help here:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186194 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 02:26:45 +0000 Lisa 186194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jacket 1-Toss, I don't care for the fit or the lighter color. Also the sleeves don't look as classic as the other two in style.</p> <p>Jacket 2-Keep, I like this one a lot for both color and fit.</p> <p>Jacket 3-Almost keep, I like this one a lot, but it is too big in length, and width. Can you get the smaller size to try? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186173 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 02:06:43 +0000 Tanya 186173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would try the new one in a size down for sure. It is a beautiful jacket!

I like the two you already own better. I'm not sure if it's fit or the color though. The colors of the ones you already have are more chanelesque to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186125 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 00:57:51 +0000 Traci 186125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate to say it, but I like the two you already have more than the new one. I think you're right that the new one is too big. With a better fit, I would probably like the NAS one the best. Followed by the black and white one, and then the lighter colored one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-esque-jackets#post-186120 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 00:31:55 +0000 Rosie 186120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I'm trying to do an in-one, out-one process. I'll start with the Chanel-esque jacket from NAS. I really like it but I'm still wondering if it is too big, and with my commitment to lost some weight it will only get bigger on me. Interested to hear what you all say.</p> <p>I have two jackets somewhat similar in style. The light one I don't wear as much because the arms are fairly tight so I have to wear sleeveless tops under, but I like it. The other I wear a fair amount and always get compliments on. I'd be really hesitant to get rid of it because it honestly is one of the items people always love. </p> <p>ylf/2010</p> <p>Light<br /> <a href="http://gallery.me.com/rmunger#100114/DSC_0813&#038;bgcolor=black" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.me.com/rmunger#.....olor=black</a><br /> <a href="http://gallery.me.com/rmunger#100114/DSC_0812&#038;bgcolor=black" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.me.com/rmunger#.....olor=black</a></p> <p>Darker<br /> <a href="http://gallery.me.com/rmunger#100114/DSC_0814&#038;bgcolor=black" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.me.com/rmunger#.....olor=black</a><br /> <a href="http://gallery.me.com/rmunger#100114/DSC_0817&#038;bgcolor=black" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.me.com/rmunger#.....olor=black</a></p> <p>New one<br /> <a href="http://gallery.me.com/rmunger#100114/DSC_0815&#038;bgcolor=black" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.me.com/rmunger#.....olor=black</a><br /> <a href="http://gallery.me.com/rmunger#100114/DSC_0816&#038;bgcolor=black" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.me.com/rmunger#.....olor=black</a></p> <p>I'm going to work on the collage thing tonight so there won't be so many links. </p>
