The red is a little less "tough" than the black. Plus, there will always be more black jackets, so this a definite "go".</p> <p>I'm going to wait for a sale on the green skirt. It's an experimental piece, so it can't be full price.</p> <p>For a denim jacket to be worn with dresses only, I'd prefer white or yellow or even black, but not red, especially given that I'll have the moto jacket. A bright yellow would actually be perfect in my wardrobe.</p> <p>Claire, I wasn't out at the stores when I posted these photos. :)</p> <p>If anyone's curious, my shopping strategy is to:</p> <p>try on in fitting room<br /> take photos<br /> post on ylf<br /> order online or in store when there's a sale</p> <p>instead of</p> <p>try on in fitting room<br /> buy and take home<br /> try on and take photos<br /> post on ylf<br /> return rejects to store</p> <p>Given my typical ratio of hits/misses, this strategy does result in fewer trips to the store and of course, less time waiting in line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-room-try-ons-bright-red-and-green#post-552283 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 02:15:23 +0000 Anonymous 552283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha! You try on skirts like I do! </p> <p>I love the skirt and the moto on you (I guess you aren't still in the fitting room 5 hours later though). The moto fit is PERFECT. Get the black only if you love black. I like the red, because it will get noticed, but I can't really remember everything you have and what will work best with your wardrobe. I do remember Angie saying that the clay color and the red were the best of the lot in regard to that moto.</p> <p>I agree with you on the blazer. I can see the button pulling and it looks really long in general. </p> <p>Re: the cropped jean jacket, these are funny little jackets and they often look wonky with pants. You have to see it with the dresses/skirts you need it to go with to make the decision. I bought a white one yesterday and until I had it all styled, I was still unsure. However if you've ever tried to wear a traditional blazer with a dress and found it too long, you know what I'm talking about.</p> <p>I can't wait to see what you end up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-room-try-ons-bright-red-and-green#post-552211 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 00:41:39 +0000 Anonymous 552211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My pick is #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-room-try-ons-bright-red-and-green#post-552203 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 00:36:04 +0000 Sylvie 552203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Girl X. I plead the fifth. I'm impatient. Could we just not talk about it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-room-try-ons-bright-red-and-green#post-552197 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 00:32:20 +0000 Girl X 552197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are those your jeans around your ankles in pic 1? Hilarious, and awesome!</p> <p>I like the colour and fit of the skirt - and I love that red leather jacket on you! Not crazy about 3 and 4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-room-try-ons-bright-red-and-green#post-552160 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 00:06:25 +0000 mirrorlight 552160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the moto jacket, I think it fits you perfectly! I like the red too, but I'm no help as to what you should actually buy - I did like Rae's comment about buying what you love and think you'll wear most. For me that would probably be a more neutral color too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-room-try-ons-bright-red-and-green#post-552148 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 23:57:04 +0000 taylor 552148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE evry item!! really love the green skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-room-try-ons-bright-red-and-green#post-552147 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 23:55:02 +0000 rae 552147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 and 3 are my favorites! I think #2 is just perfect, and great to wear with jeans. I say to get the color you are in love with and will want to wear always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-room-try-ons-bright-red-and-green#post-552115 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 23:10:40 +0000 Meredith1953 552115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1,#2,and #3 the best. The skirt in 1 is a wonderful color and the moto jacket is fun! The #3 blazer looks flattering on you but you would need to take up the sleeve length a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-room-try-ons-bright-red-and-green#post-552057 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 22:01:04 +0000 Sylvie 552057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@MHS: Thank you for the styling suggestions. I do have a navy top and a grey top that would work well with it.</p> <p>@Angie: It's so kind of you to say all the jackets look amazing but here is what I see as the issues with #3 and #4. Could you (or any experienced YLF-er), explain why these aren't problems?</p> <p>#3: The button is actually being pulled tight because the narrowest point of the jacket is hitting my high hip. If I pull up the jacket by an inch from the shoulders, all of a sudden, the jacket shaping slid into place perfectly. I felt that I was running into the "short torso" issue.</p> <p>#4: It seems too short to look good with jeans or a skirt- if I had on a high contrast top, I'd get horizonal lines going across my back. It seems like it could only be worn with dresses.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-room-try-ons-bright-red-and-green#post-552026 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 21:31:02 +0000 Angie 552026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't see the fit well enough of the skirt to be sure, but I like what I see so far!</p> <p>ALL the jackets look amazing, Sylvie. You'll need a little sleeve adjustment on #3, but my word - you fill these jackets out beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-room-try-ons-bright-red-and-green#post-552006 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 21:18:55 +0000 rachylou 552006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like 1 and 2 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-room-try-ons-bright-red-and-green#post-552004 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 21:18:06 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 552004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd get the green skirt - you can wear with neutrals, or contrasting bright colors or a basic white button down. I think it would look great with navy or navy and white stripes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-room-try-ons-bright-red-and-green#post-551985 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 21:01:32 +0000 Kirti 551985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #1 and the jacket in #2 looks like a perfect fit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-room-try-ons-bright-red-and-green#post-551957 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 20:44:25 +0000 Sylvie 551957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1) Green express pencil skirt in cotton. I thought this fit well though I need to think about whether it will match with anything in my closet.</p> <p>2) Red Express not-leather moto jacket owned by others on the forum. Is the sizing right? The clerk thought I could size down but it's tight enough as it is. A size up gave me way too much space in the shoulders. Also, since I have other no moto jackets, should I get black instead, since it's more basic? Or stick with the red or one of the other colors?</p> <p>3) Red express blazer: The waist on this hit me too low, but otherwise, it was a surprisingly flattering look. I may have to hunt down a petite bright colored blazer.</p> <p>4) Red Jolt denim jacket: Too cropped even for me, which is sad. I wouldn't be able to wear it with jeans, which is why I wanted it.</p> <p>I'm thinking about price stalking #2 and possibly #1. #3 and #4 are out in my book, but would love additional opinions.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
