And this one for many wasn't it. But oh so close. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-leather-jacket-and-wit-wisdom-girlfriend-jeans#post-1832579 Thu, 03 Aug 2017 03:51:39 +0000 shiny 1832579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got the XS leather jacket tonight... I can take pics tomorrow, but I am afraid it's going back too. :-(</p> <p>To my eye it looks just right -- but it doesn't feel right. Definitely less sloppy in the shoulders and under the arms. Still a little (nicely) loose there too. I could maybe live with the bit of tightness in the midsection when zipped since I'm used to that already (!), but it's weirdly tight in the arms. As in forearms. It's fine on the upper arms, but strangely tight from elbow down!&nbsp;</p> <p>I know leather stretches but it's oddly fitting in a way I am not sure I'd be compelled to wear it enough to stretch it out.&nbsp;</p> <p>For comparison I still have a (what, 10 year old now?) pleather jacket from F21. It's cropped because cropped was in when I bought it. I don't necessarily want a cropped leather jacket, though it is nice in that the belly is not a fit point to worry about. Heh. Otherwise overall that cheap F21 jacket feels a lot more comfortable... despite hubby saying it looks too small on me now. As far as I can tell it's the dang sleeves (forearm area) that are the difference.&nbsp;</p> <p>On the plus side I think I'm keeping the Halogen crops as they are growing on me. And I still have the W&amp;W jeans coming, though will probably be on vacation when they finally arrive.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-leather-jacket-and-wit-wisdom-girlfriend-jeans#post-1831753 Mon, 31 Jul 2017 21:16:54 +0000 Anonymous 1831753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!

Keep on stalking.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-leather-jacket-and-wit-wisdom-girlfriend-jeans#post-1830803 Fri, 28 Jul 2017 18:38:17 +0000 shiny 1830803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just keep hitting refresh whenever I can, hoping it comes back in an XSP....</p> <p>I just succeeded in scoring the W&amp;W jeans in the 2P by doing just that! YEAH! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-leather-jacket-and-wit-wisdom-girlfriend-jeans#post-1830801 Fri, 28 Jul 2017 18:36:22 +0000 Angie 1830801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try the smaller size on the jacket, Jennifer. Put it over the appropriate Fall layers when you get it. It has killer potential.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-leather-jacket-and-wit-wisdom-girlfriend-jeans#post-1830788 Fri, 28 Jul 2017 18:11:25 +0000 shiny 1830788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, Suz!</p> <p>I would recommend this leather jacket for those with broad shoulders, bigger bust, larger upper arms, AND a relatively high short waist. Hourglass or inverted triangle shapes.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a hunch the XSP would fit perfectly... could be wrong. It's just frustrating as I have been working on losing the renovation weight. Not back to my ideal weight yet, but back in a "happy zone" where 4p's have been fitting very consistently. Hence why I didn't order the XSP. Wish I'd ordered both to compare!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-leather-jacket-and-wit-wisdom-girlfriend-jeans#post-1830773 Fri, 28 Jul 2017 17:44:50 +0000 Suz 1830773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Surely it is THE midsection. Not YOURS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-leather-jacket-and-wit-wisdom-girlfriend-jeans#post-1830763 Fri, 28 Jul 2017 17:25:40 +0000 shiny 1830763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz. After sleeping on it over night, looking at the pics again, and trying it on again... I think it's too large -- i.e.., sloppy in the shoulders and the lower-cut armholes aren't doing me any favors. I think I was just happy it skimmed over my midsection and wasn't too tight in the back!</p> <p>If it becomes available in an XSP I'll give that a try.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-leather-jacket-and-wit-wisdom-girlfriend-jeans#post-1830751 Fri, 28 Jul 2017 16:55:04 +0000 Suz 1830751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm bumping so someone will see. On my phone so can't make out detail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-leather-jacket-and-wit-wisdom-girlfriend-jeans#post-1830481 Fri, 28 Jul 2017 00:23:23 +0000 shiny 1830481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UPDATE</p> <p>Pics of the halogen leather jacket. It's a size small petite. It zips comfortably over my belly/midsection. It is not too tight anywhere. I could see this fitting easily over fall layers. But I know leather stretches, so the question is ... should I size down?&nbsp;</p> <p>I like how it looks unzipped.</p> <p>Is it the length right?&nbsp;</p> <p>The part that concerns me most is the fit in the shoulders (see pic 3). And I guess under the armpits too? Though I could see how this could accommodate layers.</p> <p>I guess I am used to more form fitting, shorter jackets, with higher armholes. But I really do like this, and maybe my eye needs to be adjusted, or maybe it's worth trying the XSP if it's not sold out?&nbsp;</p> <p>I really love the neckline and the leather is sumptuous. Price is good too. The sleeves are a tad too long (I have one unzipped and one zipped in the photos, but has a seam above the zipper so could be shortened. I also don't mind a bit longer sleeve length for a fall/winter jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>Please advise!</p> <p></p> <p>ORIGINAL POST</p> <p>My order is dribbling in... will have hubby take pics later...&nbsp;</p> <p>Halogen leather jacket:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-leather-jacket-regular-petite/4517787">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ha.....te/4517787</a></p> <p>I *think* it may fit just right!! But will want the YLF eye before I decide to K/R. It seems a tad loose in the shoulders but otherwise fits nicely. This may be a keeper! Buttery leather. It's just weird because it looks nothing like the textured leather in the photo. It is smooth.&nbsp;</p> <p>These jeans:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/wit-wisdom-slim-straight-leg-ankle-jeans-regular-petite-nordstrom-exclusive/4597175">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/wi.....rom-exclus</a></p> <p>I ordered in 4p because that's all they had. I fear they are a size too big and a 2p would work better. But that size is out of stock. Really REALLY bummed, because I love these and want them!!</p> <p>Side note: while grabbing all the packages in the lobby to take upstairs, I accidentally grabbed a neighbor's NAS package. I opened it, because I just assumed it was my order... was really ticked off that Nordie's had screwed up my order... then realized my mistake! Feel horrible but also I'm happy to know I've got a new neighbor who is a NAStonista too!&nbsp; </p>
