Plus (for me anyway) finding tops that work with culottes is always a good thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1551398 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 10:48:48 +0000 Style Fan 1551398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great top.&nbsp; I agree that a metallic thread and little ruffle are not you.&nbsp; Not me either.&nbsp; I love cropped tops.&nbsp; Or not so cropped tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1551350 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 07:22:38 +0000 Maneera 1551350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh also - I think adding 10 pieces a year sounds way more practical. As you go into your summer wardrobe now, adding summer pieces will also be cheaper, right? So I think the budget difference from 5 to 10 will not be that high....but that's just my opinion I find 5 to be too meager a number. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1551349 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 07:20:27 +0000 Maneera 1551349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now this cropped top is definitely Deborah! I love it! It'll be great on the culottes for sure.....and a long grey/black cardigan layered over when you wear pants. </p> <p>Your black block heel pumps would definitely amp up any 'casual' factor.....though this top is way more stylish than just a navy tee. Lovely! Can't wait to see you wear it.....perhaps for Sunday church? (Ok...now I'm just being pushy!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1551348 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 07:18:45 +0000 Astrid 1551348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the update, Deborah. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1551344 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 07:13:15 +0000 Deborah 1551344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies, rather than start another post, I thought I would come back here to let you know that that &nbsp;jacket is is no go for me:) &nbsp;It is quite lovely but has a metalic thread running through it and the tiny ruffle that edges the jacket is just not me. I did however come home with a new top! &nbsp;I think that I will have to review my 5 piece thing and probably expand it to 8 or 10????? &nbsp;</p> <p>It's a nice casual top, that could actually go to work and I think will be the right balance with my culottes. &nbsp;It will sit nicely under a jacket too. &nbsp;The model is of course taller than me and the top falls longer on me which I prefer (it's called &nbsp;the Woolly Crop Bell Top, but not so cropped on me lol) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1551228 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 02:19:03 +0000 Deborah 1551228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your thoughts :)</p> <p>I think the jacket is significantly different from the cardigan my mum gave me and I am not sure that the cardi won't be moved on:(. I'm trying but I don't think it's really going to be a player in my wardrobe:(. There is a distinct possibility this jacket will read as frumpy on me but won't know til I try. I don't always later with multiple length hems so this could work with my slouchy tapered pants and item that I tend to wear to the office. I do however I visage it worn with longer layers, but won't know until I try it on. Hopefully will get a chance to go in store tomorrow xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1551157 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 00:36:03 +0000 Adelfa 1551157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would not guess that this would work for you--a little fitted, a little short--but I'm open to being wonderfully surprised when I see it on you! I like how the FPFW is making you so intentional. Something for me to think about! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1551127 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 23:42:00 +0000 unfrumped 1551127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color and texture and would be interested in how the proportions work with your outfits. Is it something that will be a short layer over a longer top, and how does it stand up to things in terms of structure, since it's not drapey--that sort of thing. If you are able to try it out, that would be fun to see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1551124 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 23:36:33 +0000 Sal 1551124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder if it is too similar to your Laura Ashley Cardigan...I wonder if you would be splitting wears?</p> <p>How about some very edgy shoes to add drama to a column of black? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1551122 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 23:28:18 +0000 Caro in Oz 1551122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This reads a little too classic imo - but no problem if you prove me wrong :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1551053 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 20:54:47 +0000 celia 1551053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It has potential.

I love the texture but need to see it styled.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the first purchase, by the way!!&nbsp;</p> <p>And I am curious about how the whole 5 piece thing works.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1550940 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 16:53:59 +0000 Beth Ann 1550940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love texture in my jackets --- particularly when dealing with a more minimalist tonal palette.&nbsp; And certainly a few more classic pieces would play nicely against the modernist items in your closet!&nbsp; I think the question is whether the proportions will work with bottoms in your wardrobe.&nbsp; I can't predict that until you give it a whirl. &nbsp; Let us know how you like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1550905 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 15:29:57 +0000 Anonymous 1550905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks more cardi, and less jacket to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1550891 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 15:04:14 +0000 Carole 1550891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait to see these on you, Deborah. I like the fact that the first is shorter and more fitted which seems a like a different silhouette for you, the gray jacket seems like it will fit nicely into your great wardrobe! Anxiously awaiting pictures:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1550889 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 14:59:51 +0000 Maneera 1550889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! That texture is GORGEOUS. I don't know what you'll wear it with though, Deb...</p> <p>White shirt? Grey shirt? Actually I haven't seen your summer wardrobe at all, so that's possibly the reason I can't understand how you'll incorporate it into your edgy style. But it's definitely polished and statement-worthy enough to try it on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1550885 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 14:48:00 +0000 Elizabeth P 1550885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it has lots of possibilities, but need to see it.&nbsp; Hint hint </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1550878 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 14:38:55 +0000 Susie 1550878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe I am seeing what Lisa is seeing? I had a very similar JCrew&nbsp;knit jacket a few years ago. I loved the looks of it (black and white, nice texture, what's not to love) but didn't love the look on me. I think it was best with black jeans but frumpy with a dress.</p> <p>I do trust that you would be able to style it with more edge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1550869 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 14:27:03 +0000 Anonymous 1550869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's very pretty &nbsp;and I love the flash of white showing under the model's dress.</p> <p>&nbsp;I don't think the model is doing the jacket any favours here though - my eye is drawn to the less-than-square shoulder line .....which is likely a postural thing....and makes the jacket look a little sad on top of her dress. &nbsp;It needs shoulder pads ? &nbsp;Over layers, I'm not sure, but I do see it worn as Aliona suggested !&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1550867 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 14:24:50 +0000 Glory 1550867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please model it for us. From the pic it looks like it will be wonderful with your wardrobe. A little edgy, still in the colour scheme of preference.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1550861 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 14:20:08 +0000 catgirl 1550861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to see it on! I feel like it's all in the styling as to whether it will read edgy Chanel or staying-in-tonight cardi. I imagine you will be able to achieve the former! Lyn has good examples. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1550791 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 11:44:45 +0000 Anonymous 1550791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice texture, definitely worth a try on. if you got it does that mean you can only buy 3 more clothing items until next winter? If you are in good shape with current-design pants, first layer tops etc. that will work with this length, then it looks like a good prospect to me. I don't see this fitted style layered over longer first-layer tops as much as I see it given edge with black jeans, moto boots and piled-on pearls. so if it's a layered look you're after, I'd gravitate to more cropped and boxy. Bear in mind though that this opinion comes from someone who is a classic dresser with a complete inability to think outside the usual suspect proportions. I bet you'll find a way to make this truly Deborah </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1550773 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 10:40:07 +0000 lyn67 1550773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like and always have a bouclé Chanel like blazer. Nowadays I have 2. One is is similar to yours (stretch knit), but more black than white and has a round neck. It is so comfy, and &nbsp;fab to wear over a column of all black, all white, or a white top. The other is a classic wool, but leather pippings in bordeaux and black, but &nbsp;I would like to find one with a V neck for myself, too:-). Love and I say it would be a great piece for your wardrobe, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1550770 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 10:30:49 +0000 Brooklyn 1550770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too. It has great texture. Worthy of further investigation!<br /> Do you ever look at Decjuba Deborah? I think they are in your style zone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/five-piece-french-wardrobe-possible-2nd-piece#post-1550768 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 10:17:37 +0000 Astrid 1550768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I like it too. I'm looking forward to hear your report on it. And I agree with Style Fan, it's different enough from #4 that you won't compare the two, even though they're both grey. </p>
