I just can't imagine wanting a peplum in a workout jacket and the way it looks from the front is weird to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/convertible-items-suddenly-on-trend#post-744288 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 13:14:54 +0000 lyn* 744288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a dress that can convert into a bubble hem ... :p that's about as converting as I get!</p> <p>Oh; and a puffer jacket with sleeves that zip off to make a puffer vest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/convertible-items-suddenly-on-trend#post-744263 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 12:00:15 +0000 Ann in New England 744263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I'd totally buy that Zella convertible jacket if it was in my budget. I do a bit of running outdoors at my gym as part of our Crossfit workouts -- so I'd wear the jacket long to cover up my lycra workout pants going to and from the gym (and for the inevitable grocery store/gas station stop), and then zip off the bottom to actually exercise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/convertible-items-suddenly-on-trend#post-744186 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 05:16:05 +0000 rachylou 744186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw that magazine piece!

I saw that yesterday and felt exactly the same way. I'd feel pretty dumb zipping on a peplum after my run... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/convertible-items-suddenly-on-trend#post-744164 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 04:10:54 +0000 catgirl 744164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wanna see superfluous tacked-on convertibility?</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/zella-zip-off-peplum-jacket/3284592?origin=keywordsearch&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=385" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ze.....ltback=385</a></p> <p>Converting gear just for cuteness is a little weird. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/convertible-items-suddenly-on-trend#post-744160 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 04:07:15 +0000 rae 744160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love our convertible jacket, too! I'd get more convertible stuff, but a lot of it seems a smidge tacked-on. I want a convertible item to look good in *all* modes, thankyouverymuch. I'm really a sucker for it in theory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/convertible-items-suddenly-on-trend#post-744155 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 03:59:43 +0000 Mo 744155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the cargo jacket/vest that Rae and I have from VS. I've worn it 2 of the 4 ways so far. Dang heat keeps me from experimenting further. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/convertible-items-suddenly-on-trend#post-744150 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 03:56:24 +0000 catgirl 744150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's an article in Lucky this month (or was it InStyle?) about all the convertible items out there right now. Zip-off, reversible, upsidedown, vest-to-jacket, etc. Of course this is right up my alley - anything that zips off or has some double purpose utility has huge appeal to my functional and UWP sides. </p> <p>Have you seen any items in this category that you love? Or do you find them more "neither here nor there" and annoying? </p>
