Even at a high price. Just not THAT high!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab/page/2#post-844388 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 18:24:49 +0000 Tina.b 844388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think we are going to see a lot of this style/shape upcoming. I'll be using this one as inspiration also, in my search for other options. Would like a navy jacket like this. Also waiting to see if this one will eventually go on sale.

Alas. </p> <p>TIna, that jacket is SO gorgeous. But also so expensive. Double, triple, quadruple alas! Oh well. The right one will come along if I am PPP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab/page/2#post-844383 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 18:08:43 +0000 Angie 844383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Style of the BR jacket is fab but the colour is off.

You rock that color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab/page/2#post-843324 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 16:47:10 +0000 Tina.b 843324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I think you should definitely take a look at it. It may be a touch too preppy for your style but the shape would really suit you. It is definitely going to depend on how you style it.</p> <p>I tried on a jacket in LV and I actually though of you and your fuschia jacket, it was funny! I didn't get it, it was ridiculously expensive and I'm not a huge fan of purple. But this jacket looked so amazing on, I almost caved. It was this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab/page/2#post-843129 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 14:03:17 +0000 Suz 843129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everybody. You are echoing my own ambivalence! </p> <p>Hot pink is...well....hot! It's a warm colour. </p> <p>Fuchsia, while in the same intensity range, shades to cool. Not quite as purple as magenta, but on the cooler side and a little less "pink." </p> <p>One is not better than the other. But I look better in fuchsia than in hot pink. However, I look good in pretty well any berry colour as long as it's not too bright, so there's quite a wide acceptable range. </p> <p>I was using twee in the British sense, Elisabeth. I thought it might look too cute or precious with the piping, the cropped fit, the gold button. </p> <p>But I think all of you are right. The only way to know is to see. </p> <p>I won't order it yet. I'm just going to consider until I can get a good look at it in Toronto in a few weeks and possibly even try it on. Zap makes a point about the top pocket detail, although with my small bust this is not necessarily the drawback it is on a more generously endowed woman. Typically it sort of disappears into the background, as it were, whereas it would leap right out front and centre if I actually had a bust. </p> <p>You've all made excellent points and I am going to exercise PPP!</p> <p>ETA: In theory I like piping, CF -- DEPENDING. What I want to say is it is the kind of look that suits me (very crisp) but if overdone veers too classic/preppy for my taste. I think in a sherbety colour it would feel too preppy. THank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab/page/2#post-843127 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 13:58:50 +0000 cinnamon fern 843127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this last night, when I was looking for the orange skirt Angie recommended. The color is a bit sherbet-y.</p> <p>Do you like the piping, Suz? Or are you just willing to live with it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab/page/2#post-843096 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 13:01:08 +0000 Mona 843096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does not look twee to me at all, Suz. I agree with Sveta, though. You should totally order it and try it on. THe colour is a little bit more springy than your fushcia jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab#post-843090 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 12:55:12 +0000 Glory 843090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tricky. I think you will have to look. I can do it next week if you like - probs Monday as I have a return at the Bay. I saw a really nice pink lined jacket at Reitmans yesterday - new arrival, not yet on the website. It was in the petite section and I am no sure if they had it in regular. It reminded me of you, because I would also love to copy that look. I didn't try it on but it is somewhat fitted and cropped. In fact, they had a few suit style blazers worth looking at. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab#post-843087 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 12:41:51 +0000 krishnidoux 843087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, if you are going to spend the $ on a new jacket, please, please buy the one from Inge in white. It is simply so excellent on you. I am afraid this one, in cotton, will quickly loose shape, and that the colour will not look as vibrant as your H&amp;M one.</p> <p>Plus you are right about the cut. May very well turn out too boxy. Jackets are tricky business for small frame gals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab#post-843072 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 12:11:47 +0000 rute 843072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this kind of pink is so trendy! I'm glad because I have one I bought 2 years ago!<br /> Go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab#post-843067 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:50:55 +0000 kkards 843067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>while i love the color and the cut, i wonder if the piping on the sleeves and pockets would make the blazer a little limited </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab#post-842932 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 06:04:39 +0000 Aziraphale 842932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hang on, is fuschia good? Or is hot pink good? Are they both good? Honestly, I thought they were two words for basically the same thing. </p> <p>Second question: are we saying it's potentially twee because of the colour, or the style? To me "twee" means nauseatingly girlish and stupid. Here's what the Urban Dictionary has to say (you know, because it has the answers to life, the universe, and everything..*cough*)</p> <p> twee:<br /> Something that is sweet, almost to the point of being sickeningly so. As a derogatory descriptive, it means something that is affectedly dainty or quaint, or is way too sentimental. In American English it often refers to a type of simple sweet pop music, but in British English it is used much more widely for things that are nauseatingly cute or precious. It comes from the way the word sweet sounds when said in baby talk.</p> <p>I don't think that jacket is any of those things. I don't love it, though, and I'm not sure I see it on you in particular. Why don't you try it on and see? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab#post-842902 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 04:41:56 +0000 Day Vies 842902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this jacket, I don't see it as too young at all. Either way I can't tell the difference between hot pink and fuchsia I use them interchangeably. </p> <p>I read some of the earlier comments and I agree that this is a strong but feminine color -- I have more than a few pieces in the color range. In a jacket I don't think it is the color that can be young as much as the cut, details, and heft of the fabric. Rainbow sparkles would scream young this color fuchsia/hot pink whispers I have a strong opinion, take it or leave it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab#post-842891 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 04:32:41 +0000 Anonymous 842891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Umm.. I actually saw that in person and I was not too fond of that little pocket on top. It looks a bit overdesigned for my taste ( and for yours), but I'm a minimalist. That color seems to be hot this Spring. I bet other jackets will pop up. It is not a hot pink or neon pink. It is more of a fuchsia /raspberry color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab#post-842889 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 04:28:31 +0000 sarah 842889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks very you, Suz : ) and not twee at all. I say give it a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab#post-842883 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 04:18:24 +0000 Tina 842883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would absolutely try this Suz! Get it be before your trip and take it along. The texture of the fabric will definitely help extend it's wearability through the seasons. Get it now and if it fits and you like the color- wear it and inject some color into the lives of those who have the good fortune of crossing your path.<br /> To me it looks like the fit will suit your body type. (Not enabling, just saying:-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab#post-842877 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 04:00:23 +0000 Anonymous 842877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you are right. This jacket has more texture than a smooth regular cotton jacket and should transcend seasons. I can see the collar looking so fab with your pixie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab#post-842876 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 03:58:21 +0000 unfrumped 842876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is pink. It is not as classic or versatile so not as much a throw over anything jacket. Maybe not as androgynous. Not as good with taupe as a purple- y-er hue. Still could be pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab#post-842869 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 03:46:36 +0000 Freckles 842869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry Suz I'm not seeing it for you but there is no harm in trying it with your wardrobe.</p> <p>It seems to me that you have been looking at very different cuts and vibes lately and in your style descriptor.</p> <p>I feel the pockets and perhaps colour make it very very different than the one that you currently own. To me they interfere with the line but I do have a thing for pockets... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab#post-842865 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 03:40:44 +0000 Sveta 842865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would order it, Suz. I just got bag full of stuff from Gap and all is going back but one shirt - and I LOVE this shirt. What can you lose with free shipping and return anyway? And if you won't have a chance to see it in the store then you would never know if it was The jacket or not...also I have not seen this jacket in my store. I know that my BR store does not carry all models, the selection is quite smaller than online... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab#post-842859 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 03:37:09 +0000 Suz 842859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heheh, Sveta...you are onto me.....</p> <p>I was strongly considering it....even though I am supposed to be shopping my closet until after my trip...or at least during my trip... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab#post-842857 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 03:34:50 +0000 Sveta 842857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why don't you order it online and see for yourself? And not to enable you or anything but BR has 25% off everything now until Sunday with code BRNEW25...just saying! :-)<br /> You can always to return it if it does not work out - and no Fifty-One issues! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-or-hot-pink-twee-or-potentially-fab#post-842847 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 03:22:58 +0000 Suz 842847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, that's a very cool jacket. But I suspect the cut wouldn't work for me -- it looks boyfriendish. And so far, my best BF are jeans. Never found a BF jacket that really truly loved me (much as I might love him). </p> <p>Beth Ann, you are right - it's the fabrication that would feel seasonal to me...spring/summer. Which could still be okay, except I never wear jackets in summer at all! </p> <p>ABC, you are a sweetheart! That would be great! The closest BR to me is in Toronto and I won't be there for a couple of weeks -- plus they might not even have it in store. </p> <p>Jyoti, you raise a really good point. I hadn't thought about that. </p> <p>Anna, you might be right about the sleeves. They don't say if they are supposed to be 3/4 length. If not, they'd probably be long enough on me since my arms would be shorter than the model's. </p> <p>Joy, I hear you about the cotton. I have hesitated about buying cotton jackets in the past. This one has an interesting texture that might make it more wearable (I could hope). </p>
