The length of it makes it difficult with fuller skirts. Perhaps with a pencil skirt it would work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-options#post-1000793 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 19:30:22 +0000 jayne 1000793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks all.&nbsp; I will maybe post dark jeans later.&nbsp; I have to do a serious purge of ill fitting ones first.&nbsp; Not up to that today.&nbsp; </p> <p>beth ann- yes I did have drapy grey slacks but I finally decided they were just too big, abour 3 sizes.&nbsp; I am on the lookout for a grey slack this fall,,,top of the need list (want list is something else) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-options#post-1000713 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 17:08:54 +0000 rachylou 1000713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the pairings with black. Even tho the white has sparkle, it still reads too casual for the jacket to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-options#post-1000685 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 16:21:54 +0000 deb 1000685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and #2 I really like. Maybe a pencil skirt would work better than the flare. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-options#post-1000572 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 13:49:36 +0000 Beth Ann 1000572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jayne!&nbsp; Such a lovely green, with great detail.&nbsp; I like #2 --- the balance of sparkle with jeans, but I think I'd like it even better with dark or black jeans.&nbsp; I also like 4 with the tall boots.&nbsp; I know you have some lighter softer, drapey pants (gray, I think?), how would they do?&nbsp; Do you have something like that in black?&nbsp; I think I like the idea of dark tops, or a very dressy white layer.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-options#post-1000461 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 07:02:24 +0000 Deborah 1000461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't think I had seen you in a pencil skirt Jayne:). It was just that I felt a straight fitted silhouette would work best with the jacket:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-options#post-1000455 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 06:42:13 +0000 jayne 1000455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the help</p> <p>so far the light jeans and tall black boots are not getting much love. &nbsp;Will try again with dark/black jeans later.</p> <p>Sorry deb, not a pencil skirt girl. &nbsp;That makes the outfit so businesslike that I want to run the other way! &nbsp;</p> <p>INgunn, I will look into dark purple top, the jacket is very jade (the color may be off here) so I think browns/reds will clash. &nbsp;I might also try with a blouse that is a bottle green, but I worry that is too much green?</p> <p>A llittle split on high boot, low bootie with the skirt versions....interesting to see how that develops. &nbsp;I take it as I can do both and will choose after chilliness factor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-options#post-1000445 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 05:29:29 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1000445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if you had dark pants and the tall boots it might do better. With the longer jacket , lighter jeans and dark boots the proportions are off. Looks better with the booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-options#post-1000442 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 05:25:45 +0000 Ingunn 1000442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jacket, Jayne! I like both the white and black toppers. Browns, dark purples and reds could be alternatives, but you have to choose carefully. Sand and cream will of course work well. I like both the tall boot and the bootie with the skirt/dress. Until it cools down, I think the lowest cut bootie sans hose is a great transitional style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-options#post-1000439 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 05:22:46 +0000 Deborah 1000439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My immediate response is that the jacket will work better over pants.&nbsp; I would be interested to see it over a pencil skirt (if you wear them).&nbsp; Given the jacket is quite a statement piece, I would keep the top underneath quite simple so as not to compete with the jacket and I think my preference would be for a darker tones with it, so dark wash jeans and yes black pants.&nbsp; It's a beautiful jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-options#post-1000433 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 05:19:33 +0000 lyn* 1000433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I prefer #4 the most with the tall boot; the proportions of the long jacket are balanced out by the skirt and your leg line is lengthened by the boot. Like you say, the column of colour :)</p> <p>I'm not really a pants person, so I will leave the evaluation to people who know more about pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-options#post-1000432 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 05:17:26 +0000 jayne 1000432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all</p> <p>I finally took an evening to try styling my new green jacket and would love some advice on the choices. What I am looking for is yes/no on whether each look works and if you care to say why.&nbsp; I am limiting the photos to not overwhelm:</p> <p>1. With boyfriend jeans and high boots.&nbsp; Probably a winter look since the boots are lined and warm.&nbsp; this photo is with a white sparkle tshirt.&nbsp; </p> <p>2. Same as 1 but with a black sparkly tank.&nbsp; Do you prefer one of the two shirt colors?</p> <p>3. The same as 2 but I have on low black booties.&nbsp; the left are a lace up that is a bit more delicate, very oxfordish, and the right is UWP moto.&nbsp; Any preference on the shoes?</p> <p>4. With a jersey black dress and two boot options, high heeled and a slightly cowboy cut low one.&nbsp; Are these ok?&nbsp; I don't do pumps, a little too ladylike for my lifestyle.</p> <p>5. With an aline skirt and black vneck tshirt.&nbsp; Here I have on the same cowboy bootie on the right but a suede bootie on the left.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Any opinion on other tops I could have under the jacket?</p> <p>I also tried it with a pencil but the effect is too business lady formal and that is not in my lifestyle.&nbsp; </p> <p>I also intend to wear it with both black jeans, dark jeans, black slacks but need some idea on whether I should stick with black under (like a turtle in winter) or if other colors seem possible?&nbsp; A column of color lets the jacket shine I assume?</p> <p>Thanks for any help. Have a wonderful day! </p>
