I do think as others have commented, that it is too long for skirts or dresses but would look great with slouchy trousers or jeans. I think it's worth playing around with in your closet before making a final decision. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-19#post-901661 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 01:25:28 +0000 Deborah 901661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Tracey I am struggling with a few elements with respect to the jacket and I would love to see this styled over skinny jeans to actually see how it does work. &nbsp;On one hand I am finding the jacket looks a bit dated, but on the other hand I know the cut and oversized (long) look is being worn a bit by some of the 20 something bloggers. &nbsp;I think I would really need to see it with the jeans, footwear etc to be able to really form an opinion. &nbsp;The colour however it stunning. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-19#post-901658 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 01:21:37 +0000 TraceyLiz65 901658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I would think that the zippered closure would make it impossible to alter... so never considered that option...&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-19#post-901646 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 00:37:55 +0000 ironkurtin 901646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My vote is too long with the skirt you are wearing.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-19#post-901645 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 00:35:37 +0000 Robin M 901645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Would it be easy to shorten/ have shortened? &nbsp;I've never had leather altered before, so I'm not sure. If you&nbsp;did have it shortened, you&nbsp;could max out wears before its ultimate departure from your wardrobe https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-19#post-901613 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 23:16:02 +0000 TraceyLiz65 901613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The leather is very soft and that is what i love so much about it.. I&nbsp;wanted&nbsp;to try it with dresses for Spring, but my own instincts and your wisdom confirmed that it needs to stay with skinny jeans... I am focused on losing the remainder of the weight and will definitely have to part ways with it then anyway, so have to face reality.. In the meantime... gonna rock it! &nbsp;<br />&nbsp;I have a much shorter suede jacket that I thrifted in a similar shade that will definitely work with dresses, but it's not soft and you can't scrunch the sleeves..&nbsp;<br /><br />Thanks again! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-19#post-901589 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 22:26:17 +0000 Echo 901589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree about the length being an issue, at least if you want to wear it with dresses. The colour looks great on you, and the jacket itself looks soft and well-constructed. I would pair it with pants or get it shortened if you want to wear it with dresses instead. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-19#post-901577 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 22:07:07 +0000 Anonymous 901577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Same here! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-19#post-901575 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 22:06:08 +0000 Raisin 901575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree that it would look much better with pants. &nbsp;Do you enjoy wearing it with pants? &nbsp;Maybe keep if you do, the color is really nice! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-19#post-901571 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 22:03:10 +0000 Nicole D 901571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm with the panel: &nbsp;overpowers this dress but is a great colour and shape would look good with skinnies or leggings. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-19#post-901568 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 22:00:02 +0000 Glory 901568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with the others. I love this colour and the leather looks very soft. I think that it would be lovely with skinnies.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-19#post-901554 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 21:31:41 +0000 Lyn D. 901554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Tracey, I just love the colour of this jacket, so take my comments with a grain of salt!<br />I would keep this jacket and wear with pants etc. for sure.<br />It isn't perfect with the dress due to the longer length, and if you particularly need to wear with dresses I understand your point of view. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-19#post-901553 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 21:31:27 +0000 bj1111 901553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think they would be great with skinnies or straights but not too much volume down below.<br /><br />great color. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-19#post-901551 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 21:30:03 +0000 rute 901551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it is too long for skirts and dresses, maybe with pants...<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-19#post-901546 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 21:07:35 +0000 TraceyLiz65 901546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love this leather jacket but I am really on the fence about whether I should keep it or sell it on ebay.. Since beginning blogging 6 months ago and seeing photos, &nbsp;I became aware that I had been wearing jackets that were too long for my petite frame( a by product of the weight gain)&nbsp;&nbsp;and I have replaced a majority of them to hit me at my hip bone or above.&nbsp;<br /><br />Does this jacket look okay with this dress? &nbsp;Is it too long, should I keep it? &nbsp;or sell it on ebay? &nbsp;Thanks in advance for your wisdom!!!!
