I think the knit softens it and the weight looks like it can be worn indoors if one wishes. Is it possible to order and try? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-this-jacket-too-tough-for-me#post-1039397 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 18:18:47 +0000 rachylou 1039397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's more quilted jacket with moto inspiration, so I say not too tough at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-this-jacket-too-tough-for-me#post-1039382 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 18:01:00 +0000 Suz 1039382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Salivating over Diana's offerings. Those colours would look great on you, Peri! But you would look good in the navy or black, too. The black might feel a bit harsh -- hard to say.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-this-jacket-too-tough-for-me#post-1039352 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 17:15:45 +0000 Peri 1039352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha Diana, that's a little more escalation than I can handle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-this-jacket-too-tough-for-me#post-1039347 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 17:05:24 +0000 Diana 1039347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not that I'm saying you should escalate to a Burberry or anything, but I could see you in this, in magenta.<br /><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/burberry-brit-mordale-quilted-jacket/3502165?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=DAMSON+MAGENTA&amp;resultback=1593&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_5_D" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/bu.....ersonalize</a></p> <p>Or this in purple:<br /><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/burberry-brit-copford-quilted-jacket/3583204?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=REGENCY+PURPLE&amp;resultback=1831&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_6_A" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/bu.....ersonalize</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-this-jacket-too-tough-for-me#post-1039343 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 17:02:57 +0000 Suz 1039343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only way to know for sure is to try it! I agree with Diana that it would be ideal if it came in a plum or even berry colour...but it's worth giving a try anyway. You will soon know how it feels. And trying it in a soft fabrication (at a lower price point than leather) is a great way to experiment with the style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-this-jacket-too-tough-for-me#post-1039341 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 17:02:06 +0000 Peri 1039341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking black because I lean that way...it would go better with the rest of my wardrobe than navy would, even though navy would be a bit more flattering. It's just right now I can't see replacing all my black with navy.</p> <p>But Diana, wow, that's a great idea. A burgundy one would be such a great choice. Maybe I should wait on this and see if something like that shows up somewhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-this-jacket-too-tough-for-me#post-1039331 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 16:56:24 +0000 kkards 1039331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love this.&nbsp; i don't think it reads "tuff". are you thinking about the navy or the black?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-this-jacket-too-tough-for-me#post-1039329 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 16:56:09 +0000 Diana 1039329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I think the softness and the quilting counteracts the toughness of the moto style.&nbsp; It's too bad it does not come in a beautiful jewel tone, as I think a plum or dark burgundy or teal would be beautiful on you.&nbsp; Reminds me a bit of the Burberry quilted jackets in fact.&nbsp; </p> <p>I wear short over long sometimes, but I think the trick is to make the long quite a bit longer.&nbsp; A tunic length top would definitely work with this jacket.&nbsp; The trick is to make it look intentional, and I think it's harder to do that when your top is just a teeny bit longer than your jacket. But even that can be done well.&nbsp; For some reason I think it works better if the top is floaty, like a loose blouse, rather than a more fitted thing like a tee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-this-jacket-too-tough-for-me#post-1039323 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 16:51:42 +0000 kellygirl 1039323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think this is too tough at all. It is moto inspired but very wearable, in my opinion. Moto seems to be very mainstream now and this just looks like a great moto inspired topper to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wear short over long all the time. I like the look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-this-jacket-too-tough-for-me#post-1039320 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 16:48:11 +0000 Peri 1039320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a moto jacket, but quilted knit instead of leather.</p> <p><a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&#038;pid=931976012" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....=931976012</a></p> <p>Now for the few who remember my pictures, because I don't post many of them, is this too tough and edgy for me? You know I don't have an ounce of edge in my "delicate" Snow White self. Do you think I could wear this with any authenticity? Does the lack of leather soften the look enough for me?</p> <p>And a general question for anyone else! Can you wear a short jacket with longer tops, since most of mine are and I'm strictly no tuck? </p>
