But I apologize that my hair looks like such a mess - I'm overdue for a trim!</p> <p>In better light, does this change anyone's impression?</p> <p>For myself, I'm really thinking that this vest is the best option I've found, and I rather like the exposed pleather placket in that pretty cognac color. In better light, I like the color better than in the harsh light in the dressing room, and the cropped length is more flattering than any others I've tried on. I haven't tried the Express vest yet that Angie pointed out, and I'll try to get over there. Unfortunately Piperlime hasn't been very successful for me in terms of online shopping; for some reason, half of their pages and pictures don't load regardless of what computer I'm using, so I don't really bother searching their site any longer.</p> <p>I did try the Gabriella Rocha vest that Kappy mentioned, but the color was a very pale, washed-out shade, and the faux-fur was really kind of yucky looking in person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-460083 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 01:37:33 +0000 elpgal 460083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Take a look at the options on Piperlime as well; they have a bunch of options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-460054 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 01:08:09 +0000 Kappy 460054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I just saw this vest on Zappos. It reminded me of that first vest but without the placket:</p> <p><a href="http://vip.zappos.com/gabriella-rocha-stellarina-faux-fur-vest-ecru" rel="nofollow">http://vip.zappos.com/gabriell.....-vest-ecru</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-460023 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 00:47:29 +0000 Jjsloane 460023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress and booties in 1-3. I'm still not sold on the fur vest thing, but I agree with Dresslover that I like the shape of 1st and color way of 2nd. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-460019 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 00:45:29 +0000 Jonesy 460019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the first vest (and love that dress!); looking forward to seeing the Express vest in action :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-460015 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 00:44:14 +0000 krishnidoux 460015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your hairstyle on these.<br /> As well as the first vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-459826 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 20:43:02 +0000 Queen Mum 459826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I"m not sure either of these are *IT* yet Kari. Anxious to see Angie's pick on you, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-459815 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 20:30:15 +0000 Kappy 459815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think out of the two, I prefer the first one. But I'd also be interested to see Angie's pick; she's one smart cookie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-459797 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 20:12:08 +0000 Jenava 459797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I rather like the both, to be honest. (-: Can't wait to see the Express one as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-459786 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 19:55:49 +0000 Kyle 459786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari: Love your posts. Just love them. Well, I prefer the first vest to the second, and think the Express option has good potential, too. But I'm dying to see some better photos of the dress. I tried that dress myself, and it did nothing for me...but it looks like it was designed for you. Can't wait to see how you "Kari-ize" it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-459785 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 19:54:42 +0000 Freckles 459785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry Kari but I don't think either of these are your best loook.</p> <p>I'd like to see the one Angie suggested on you though... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-459741 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 18:54:12 +0000 Angie 459741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's the one! You have short hair so I think that the shawl collar is worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-459740 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 18:54:04 +0000 CocoLion 459740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with your thought -- the first one is better. It is a little more cropped so easier to wear. I have a vest that is long-ish like the second one and I struggled to style it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-459738 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 18:47:25 +0000 Kari 459738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! You know, I'd kind of dismissed the Express vest out of hand because the higher collar looked like it wouldn't be flattering on me. Do you think it would work?<br /> <a href="http://www.express.com/minus-the-fur-vest-39102-555/index.pro" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/minus-t...../index.pro</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-459730 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 18:43:02 +0000 Angie 459730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the first one, Kari! The colours are great on you. But head over to Express and try the one I tweeted about yesterday too. It doesn't have the centre front placket and looks crisper. </p> <p>KILLER new frock. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-459702 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 18:16:39 +0000 Amy 459702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like the first vest on you, color and all I hear you about the difficulty of finding a faux fur vest that looks good over a larger bust...I've tried a bunch on too, but haven't even found one that I'm willing to show </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-459692 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 18:10:59 +0000 elpgal 459692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the first. I think the V on the second one is too deep and the fur doesn't set your face aglow like the first one does. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-459689 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 18:10:17 +0000 Kari 459689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should also add that I've been trying on a LOT of faux-fur vests and that I really haven't found any others that I liked - the others all had very high collars, or hit RIGHT at the widest point of my hip, which was not flattering at all, or were simply a very bad color on me. So... I'm kind of feeling like this is my last attempt to find something really fab before I get too frustrated with the look.</p> <p>I think this is a very tricky look as a larger, busty woman. *sigh* I guess I need to play with it a little more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-459676 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 17:57:18 +0000 Scarlet 459676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not convinced, but I prefer the first to the second for the reasons you say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-459664 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 17:50:36 +0000 DressLover 459664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I could marry the two together. I like the shape of the first, but the mottled look of the second. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-will-one-of-these-work#post-459662 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 17:48:16 +0000 Kari 459662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need an experienced eye to give me feedback on this look. I am trying two different faux-fur vests and I'm not sure if either of them work.</p> <p>#1-3: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/sanctuary-faux-fur-vest/3243836?origin=keywordsearch">Santuary faux-fur vest</a>. Normally I wouldn't go for this color, but the cropped length works better than most faux-fur vests I've tried, and there's a red undertone in the fur as well as the lining.<br /> (Also seen with an <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/eliza-j-tie-neck-chiffon-dress/3191604?origin=shoppingbag">animal print chiffon midi dress</a> that I also took home.)<br /> I apologize that the cell phone pics are so horrible - I haven't had a chance to take photos from home yet.</p> <p>#4-6: <a href="http://us.asos.com/ASOS%20Gilet%20In%20Patched%20Faux%20Fur/wqxfy/?iid=1724020&amp;mporgp=L0FTT1MvQVNPUy1HaWxldC1Jbi1QYXRjaGVkLUZhdXgtRnVyL1Byb2Qv">Patched faux-fur vest from ASOS.</a>. I like the color and the feel of this vest, as well as the V-neck; however, I feel like the longer length isn't very flattering. I don't think I could wear this with dresses the way I can with the first vest.</p> <p>My thought is that I should keep the first vest and return the second - is that the right decision? Please let me know what you think - and I'll try to get better pictures of the first one later. </p>
