(Did you see the gorgeous black ones Rabbit is wearing in her scarf thread?)&nbsp; Silver jewelry would be appropriate, but something sparkly like a long looped necklace of crystals might take the outfit to another level. It's a great jacket, bold and graphic.&nbsp; You will look terrific, so have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-i-need-some-advice-on-how-to-wear-this-jacket#post-1456227 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 01:23:16 +0000 crutcher 1456227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Second retailgirl's suggestion for a column of color...I would add some hot shoes to really make it sing..silver jewelry...and red nailpolish lipstick and they will be saying," She looks absolutely FAB"..Best... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-i-need-some-advice-on-how-to-wear-this-jacket#post-1456223 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 01:04:13 +0000 retailgirl 1456223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd do a black top to make a column of color. As far as makeup goes, it would depend on your coloring. But red nail polish is always appropriate! Red/orange or a blue/red, depending on your skin tone. A friend of mine has a similar jacket and wears it with a black top and pants; she also usually wears it with a shortish silver bead necklace. It looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-i-need-some-advice-on-how-to-wear-this-jacket#post-1456195 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 23:57:02 +0000 maggs10 1456195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks everyone, you were very helpful.&nbsp;&nbsp; The event is semi formal.&nbsp; I am self conscious about it because I put on weight.&nbsp; I am seeing people I haven't seen in years so I am kind of nervous.</p> <p>I suit Red, oranges, etc. I am a fall color.&nbsp; I am wearing black skinny pants with it.&nbsp; I am just not sure what color top or what kind.</p> <p>I really appreciate all the help.</p> <p>&nbsp;Also, what color makeup and nail polish.&nbsp;&nbsp; help......</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-i-need-some-advice-on-how-to-wear-this-jacket#post-1455931 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 15:01:25 +0000 AM 1455931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great suggestions above.

Maybe if you give some details about the event (what it is, how dressy or casual it is) people will be able to help you more. </p> <p>Also, are you wanting to wear something you already own or are you going to buy items to wear with the jacket?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-i-need-some-advice-on-how-to-wear-this-jacket#post-1455887 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 12:33:52 +0000 Sveta 1455887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a bold pattern but because it is in black and white it is pretty versatile.<br />Color wise &nbsp;- black and white is no brainer but grey (light and dark) &nbsp;well. Taupe maybe another option.&nbsp;<br />You can also add a color into a mix.&nbsp;Any bright colors would work as well as jewel colors (cobalt, emerald, ruby red). Pastels and muted earthy color are trickier but can be pulled off too. I can see this jacket over a blush blouse and black or white pants for example - very chic.<br />Sheath dress, pencil skirt&nbsp;and &nbsp;slim pants are the easiest to wear with it. Bootcuts and flared jeans should work too. Even boyfriend jeans and track pants can work - you just need &nbsp;the right footwear.<br />This is a great jacket - experiment and enjoy!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-i-need-some-advice-on-how-to-wear-this-jacket#post-1455884 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 11:41:21 +0000 maggs10 1455884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, everyone, now that we determined what jacket to wear what do I wear with it? &nbsp;What colour underneath and jewelry?&nbsp; What colour purse?&nbsp; As you can see I am nervous about this function.&nbsp; I really want to look good.</p> <p>thanks </p>
