It looks amazing on you!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-nas#post-79997 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 04:07:36 +0000 Angie 79997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>pssst. Start a new thread on the blackberry trench, San.</p> <p>Glad we convinced you to keep the moto jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-nas#post-79944 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 22:24:37 +0000 Kristen 79944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I am terrible about figuring out coordinating colors for jackets! I am struggling now with my new "taupe" leather trench.</p> <p>For my mulberry wool coat, I am planning on wearing my black or brown boots and purses. I think the same will work with the blackberry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-nas#post-79937 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 22:07:00 +0000 Anonymous 79937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too Kristen, that is where I first saw the blackberry trench also.<br /> I have just ordered it. When it gets here I will then need to try the black one that I have here now, and the blackberry one, and then post a pic for YLF approval.<br /> Now the question is, what color of shoes, boots, handbag, scarf, looks best with the blackberry color? I know the congac leather looks good with a black coat. Does it also go with the blackberry? Should I treat the blackberry just as a black coat? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-nas#post-79934 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 22:02:43 +0000 Kristen 79934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoohoo about keeping the original moto! Glad you decided that; I passed by the pleather one today and just kept walking.</p> <p>I would love to see some pics if you get the blackberry trench; I've been drooling over it since I saw it linked in Michelle's thread! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-nas#post-79931 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 21:50:36 +0000 Anonymous 79931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I am convinced, I do not need to worry about my biker jacket not being the perfect one for me. Thankyou ladies for helping me keep my mind straight and not let those little doubts creep in. I would say that I have always loved the look of an edge, biker, street, rocker, whatever you call it, but I let my age cause me to let worries sneak in. I so much appreciate all of your<br /> Angie thanks for the link which I re read.<br /> Kyle, you are very nice to include me in "our" age group since I am a decade older than you! You made me smile.<br /> I love the blackberry trench so I will call and see about ordering one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-nas#post-79908 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 19:30:38 +0000 medusa 79908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree about the jackets: the one you already bought looks GREAT on you. Don't return it.</p> <p>I think the blackberry color of the trench coat is beautiful. I don't think you need to avoid black just because of your age, but the blackberry is a great color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-nas#post-79901 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 19:01:56 +0000 Angie 79901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for chiming in, Judy. I like your wisdom! Let’s see the jacket with the new specs and do, Sandy. Also, a scarf is a BRILLIANT idea. I know you like simple cascading feminine things too, so combining the two looks into one ensemble is excellent. Reading this blog post might help refresh your memory: </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2008/09/04/biker-jacket-101/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2008/09/04/biker-jacket-101/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-nas#post-79899 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 18:57:09 +0000 Donna 79899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you're going to keep the moto jacket! Angie has spoken... it's killer and I agree with Judy and Kyle, totally age appropriate.</p> <p>If you have the time to comment after you've seen the blackberry color, I'd love to know what you think. Would the color work with jeans? Thanks, San. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-nas#post-79894 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 18:53:58 +0000 cciele 79894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have to keep the leather moto jacket, San! It looks awesome on you. The faux one doesn't even compare.</p> <p>I love the blackberry color for the trench. I think it would complement your new haircolor perfectly. I'd swap the black for the blackberry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-nas#post-79880 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 17:55:13 +0000 Kyle 79880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San: Just say no to the faux. Please. That leather jacket looks like it was sitting on the hangar just waiting for you. It's awesome. Not too edgy -- it's a classic. And perfect for fashionable women of our age! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-nas#post-79877 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 17:47:26 +0000 Anonymous 79877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great, thankyou Angie and Judy for replying and getting me sorted out.<br /> I will keep the moto jacket and go and have a look at the blackberry trench before it sells out. Things seem to be going fast at the sale.<br /> I am trying to stay away from the harshness of too much black which the trench seems like a large expanse of.<br /> I will post some updated pics of my new things with my new hair color and specs next week. When I got the pkgs in the mail, it was so hot I couldn't even think about trying the clothes and coats on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-nas#post-79873 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 17:39:59 +0000 Angie 79873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep the ORIGINAL moto jacket, San. I don't fancy you in the ruffled pleather. Not your style. You look KILLER in the moto jacket. 100% age appropriate. I put my 69 year old client in a very refined moto jacket yesterday. Totally fab. </p> <p>The blackberry trench is wonderful! I saw it yesterday. Would be just as versatile for your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-nas#post-79872 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 17:39:46 +0000 judy 79872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San, would it be possible to have some updated photos of you in the moto and the trench, with you new hair color/do and specs? The moto jacket fit looks so superb. I don't think it is age inappropriate at all. Also, I find scarves can be a great way to soften an "edge". How do you feel in it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-nas#post-79870 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 17:34:12 +0000 Anonymous 79870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thankyou for the feedback Donna.<br /> I looked at the size of the black trench I purchased and it is a small. My choices would have been between a small or medium. I hope that helps you decide which is right for you.<br /> Angie helped me choose the trench in the presale so in her opinion it is a well styled trench.<br /> Now we need to get the color sorted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-nas#post-79867 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 17:26:38 +0000 Donna 79867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San - The moto jacket you bought looks great. I think it has just the right edge and with your beautiful new hair color and specs I bet it looks even better. </p> <p>As for the trench, I've been eyeing that one also and wondering if the blackberry color would still work as well as the black. I hope Angie will comment. I was hoping to get a satin trench that could also work as a "dress up" coat and wonder if the blackberry color makes it a bit too casual for that purpose. The blackberry is a bit unexpected and would look great with black, but I want to be able to wear it for both purposes. Since you've tried this on, what is your opinion on the fit. Is it true to size? Did you buy an XS or a S? I'm only 5'3" so I would order in a petite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-nas#post-79847 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 16:54:01 +0000 Anonymous 79847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks 50andstylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-nas#post-79845 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 16:49:39 +0000 50andstylish 79845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look amazing in it and it is not too young for you at all.

How does this compare to a moto jacket?
