I can't wait to see your capsule.<br /> The EF and the white sweater are too big. Sometimes tops can be tricky but you will find what you are looking for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help---to-purchase-or-not-to-purchase#post-1339235 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 21:13:24 +0000 Sal 1339235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, the bomber is a great fit. &nbsp;It also looks cosy!</p> <p>I think the white top is the right concept but something about the fit is off, there will be something similar that is better.</p> <p>I am not sure on the waxed jacket. &nbsp;</p> <p>I think the black tee and black trousers with the light&nbsp;jacket is a great look on you - I also wear this column of colour often and like it because I am short waisted and it is flattering. &nbsp;I certainly don't always do this but it is a great fallback option.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help---to-purchase-or-not-to-purchase#post-1339224 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 20:51:37 +0000 Suz 1339224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's also the Pleione one that is an Angie pick. It comes in lots of colours. Not a sweater, however. But could be a good addition in itself.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help---to-purchase-or-not-to-purchase#post-1339191 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 19:15:50 +0000 frannieb 1339191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that top - That is what I'm looking for something with nice drape but not to big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help---to-purchase-or-not-to-purchase#post-1339190 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 19:15:12 +0000 Suz 1339190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really glad you are going to keep the bomber. It is great on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm iffy on the sweater -- not sure I can see enough of it to judge but I suspect the size is off.&nbsp;</p> <p>And the black jacket doesn't seem to fit properly.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help---to-purchase-or-not-to-purchase#post-1339184 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 19:00:40 +0000 Liz 1339184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Frannie, I saw this white top recently, straight sizes, but nice drape and shape.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help---to-purchase-or-not-to-purchase#post-1339182 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 18:56:56 +0000 frannieb 1339182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have all help me so much on figuring this out&nbsp;<br />1. The white sweater is probably to big for me - I like the concept -&nbsp;being a curvy gal I try not to go baggie. &nbsp;I will most likely have to find a white top with drape like that in a &nbsp;straight size (My forever issue in life - my bottom is a plus size and my top is a straight size - try buying a suit with that combo) and as&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/member/krishnie/">krishnidoux</a>n stated i probably am trying to hard with the sweater.</p> <p>2. The waxed bomber is&nbsp;way to big as suggested - and well &nbsp;now I have my eye on a brown leather one. So I am going to be spending my time playing around with trying different silhouettes and trying different colors to find the perfect one.</p> <p>3. &nbsp;The Bomber jacket it is - I did think to myself that looked great. It would pair wonderfully with many things in my wardrobe. I could make a whole capsule just around that jacket.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help---to-purchase-or-not-to-purchase#post-1339083 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 15:05:29 +0000 bj1111 1339083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay on the white bomber<br /> Maybe on the sweater...love the shape in theory, but I don't see enough of it to really judge how it would hang<br /> Maybe on the waxed moto. I like the idea and overall shape. i prefer it with the black outfit, but that may just be the hemlines from the white sweater clashing with the bagginees of the shoulder line in this way-too-big for you jacket. Definitely try in a smaller size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help---to-purchase-or-not-to-purchase#post-1339055 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 14:06:01 +0000 marianna 1339055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the EF moto -- super fab. Would love to see the size down to compare. Yay!<br />Also love the Angie pick bomber. Looks great! Yay!<br />I'm neutral on the white sweater… it's not super figure flattering, but it is an interesting piece. Also looks a little big on you? I guess I'd vote nay on this one.</p> <p>I love the&nbsp;bottoms you're wearing in these pics! Nice fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help---to-purchase-or-not-to-purchase#post-1339017 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 11:43:53 +0000 krishnidoux 1339017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Yay/Nay</b> on the black jacket. The look is&nbsp;terrific. However, it does look a bit big in the shoulders. I would try some more styles before buying. But yay for the style direction.<br /><b>Yay</b> on the Angie pick bomber. It looks cute and versatile, you wear it very well.<br /><b>NAY</b> for the white sweater. I don't like the cut on you. It just doesn't do you justice IMHO. You have such a lovely figure. This sweater looks out of place,&nbsp;like you are trying too hard in a way. Or maybe if you wore it on its own, with a slouchier, lighter pair of pants...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help---to-purchase-or-not-to-purchase#post-1338987 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 07:12:46 +0000 CocoLion 1338987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Yay</b>&nbsp;on the sweater, it's so modern. &nbsp;I love it on you.<br /><b>Nay</b> on the waxed black jacket, it's shapeless on you. &nbsp;Could be you simply need a different size but the sleeves look too big and the length is not flattering.<br /><b>Yay</b> on the bomber. &nbsp;I like the lighter colors in it on you. &nbsp;And, I like the fit and length. &nbsp;It ends at a flattering point on you. &nbsp;(I am kind of obsessed with top and jacket lengths overall, as it's a big concern of mine -- short torso, longer legs here -- so pants / jeans are easy to buy, but tops -- a constant challenge. &nbsp;Most of them end at the wrong point on my torso). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help---to-purchase-or-not-to-purchase#post-1338978 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 05:23:08 +0000 unfrumped 1338978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had my ere on the waxed moto but had not seen IRL ! Definitely try sizing down.<br /> I think the asymmetrical hem of the white sweater could work really well. But, it seems a little big or has more drape than expected-- how does it feel to you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help---to-purchase-or-not-to-purchase#post-1338922 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 03:06:37 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1338922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are three great possibilities for you!</p> <p>I really, really like the waxed black moto style jacket on you. I love it with the white sweater and with the darker top underneath. It's definitely worth trying in a different size to get the fit you want. It looks sleek and polished, current, a little edgy. Great piece to add to and mix with a classics-based wardrobe.</p> <p>The white sweater is a fun silhouette and looks great over your black pants. Love it hanging out from the moto jacket. </p> <p>The bomber sweater-jacket is also good on you, for a more casual look. I think the shape might be harder to style, because of how it comes in at the bottom. I don't see it pairing as well over shirt-tails hanging out, for example. I would say it's a good sweater alternative; not really a jacket look. Just depends on what you're wanting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help---to-purchase-or-not-to-purchase#post-1338897 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 02:13:27 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1338897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with you that the black jacket is too big. I can't really tell about the white sweater from the pics under the jacket. I think the fit on the bomber is good, and the color could be nice on you. It's certainly a trendy silhouette. Do you think it would work with your fall tops? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help---to-purchase-or-not-to-purchase#post-1338876 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 01:49:55 +0000 frannieb 1338876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am looking to add a jacket that is more trend then classic. My work wardrobe is super class tailored and styled. I want to add some fun pieces into the mix. I don't need to work on the basics with the work wardrobe anymore.</p> <p>Today my wonderful daughter and I had the best day at Nordstroms evah!! We had some fun trying on clothes. Up for consideration:</p> <p>Pics 1-4 = EF waxed bomber - most likely to big and would have to try a straight size as opposed to plus. &nbsp;Tried with the white sweater then in pic 4 tried with a black t-shirt. This would strictly be an indoor jacket - I feel it has good fall, early winter, early spring work potential.</p> <p>Pic 5 - a Angie pic - Black and white bomber jacket - more like a heavy sweater material. I was surprised by the fabrication.&nbsp;</p> <p>Both jacket styles are completely new&nbsp;silhouettes&nbsp;&nbsp;to my wardrobe</p> <p>Lastly thoughts on the white sweater how does it look?</p> <p>Yay or Nay on the bomber? Why or Why not<br />Yay or Nay on the White sweater why or why not?<br />Yay or Nay on the Bomber why or why not?</p> <p> </p>
