It looks comfortable and sometimes you just gotta be comfortable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-revisited#post-1687486 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 02:59:59 +0000 Kimberly 1687486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't love it. It looks like pajamas to me. Maybe with wide legged trousers? Something dressier than jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-revisited#post-1687467 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 02:11:05 +0000 annagybe 1687467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First thought</p> <p>Sorry </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-revisited#post-1687464 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 01:54:39 +0000 Suz 1687464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I meant similar colour to the bottoms (whether skirt or jeans). So you have a column of colour underneath and it is open. Like a kimono jacket over a slim under layer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-revisited#post-1687457 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 01:32:08 +0000 DonnaF 1687457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes; I'd like to see this over a column of color:&nbsp; Matching/close to matching top and skirt or top and pants or sheath dress.&nbsp; The jacket is a neutral and smooth, so I feel like I want a column with texture or print.</p> <p>What wonders ironing and styling can make!&nbsp; I missed your first post but peeked at it just now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-revisited#post-1687296 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 19:38:44 +0000 Karin L H 1687296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! </p> <p>cjh - haha, that WAS brutal, but I love it! :)</p> <p>Thanks suz and texstyle! I'll try to take pics of the jacket open tomorrow, good idea! Do you think it could work with a black tank top under? Suz, did you mean similar colour to the jeans or the jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-revisited#post-1687280 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 19:23:30 +0000 texstyle 1687280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can we see it worn open (no belt) over a solid tank maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-revisited#post-1687261 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 19:13:38 +0000 Suz 1687261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks much better than in the first round, but I still think it's not your best silhouette.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here is a thought, though. Do you have (or ever wear) a sheath dress or a tube skirt? You could try wearing the jacket open -- <b>NO BELT</b> -- over top. Or over the jeans with a similar toned shirt for a column of colour effect.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-revisited#post-1687233 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 18:42:36 +0000 rachylou 1687233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Much better. Really quite good. I was wrong </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-revisited#post-1687205 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 17:44:52 +0000 cjh 1687205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good work on doing and photographing the styling options. It seems clear you loved the price. But now the task is to "make it work."</p> <p>Do you love the color? Do you love the shape? You should be honest with yourself. If you say yes, then keep.</p> <p>Honestly, to my eye, it lacks both. I mean: no color, no shape. If it wasn't the TOPPER, which should top off an outfit in more ways than one, there might be salvation... Personally, I would not keep it.</p> <p>I even have a couple of fleecy kimono shaped cardigans that I wear over my p.j.s to drink my coffee in the morning, and this wouldn't pass there either.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sorry, that wasn't just honest, it was brutal, huh? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-revisited#post-1687128 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 15:30:52 +0000 Anonymous 1687128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it better, but I still don't see it as your most flattering silhouette. I think I like with the black belt best. I say you've got it, so wear away. I agree with keeping the bottom half slim to show your nice figure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/green-jacket-revisited#post-1687120 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 15:24:36 +0000 Karin L H 1687120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last week I bought a summer jacket on a 70% sale, I wasn't too sure about it but it was so cheap and comfy so I decided to give it a go. I asked for quick comments to see if I should keep it or not while I was still in town, and most of you did not like it - and I really appreciate your honest comments! Due to time differences I saw the comments the following day so the jacket came home with me, so I thought I'd see if I could make it work. </p> <p>Ironed, with proper clothes and lightning - what do you think? I know the colour is not fab at all, but at that price I'm ok with it being an ok jacket that I might occasionally wear. But I could also try to sell it if it really isn't good enough!</p> <p>#1 Olive jacket and belt, black top, black skinnies, brown shoes.</p> <p>#2 Tried it with a floral scarf.</p> <p>#3 Black belt.</p> <p>#4 Pop of colour with a coral top instead. (Looking at the pics I see that this is not really a good colour combination though..! Maybe you have ideas of other colours that could work?)</p> <p>Your thoughts? And I still want honest comments, please! Thanks so much in advance! </p>
