And I think the 'SSB' is interesting enough that it can work out with the right styling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-a-purge-coming-onhelp-needed#post-581286 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 00:22:47 +0000 Angela 581286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi jayne!</p> <p>#1/2 is a good shape.</p> <p>#3 is a nice colour but does it have shoulder pads?</p> <p>#4 through #9 look a bit big on you.</p> <p>#10/11 is a nice style--I'd love to see it closed and buttoned up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-a-purge-coming-onhelp-needed#post-581224 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 23:19:14 +0000 Deborah 581224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jayne, the angle of the photos is making a bit difficult to assess the jackets but here is my take.</p> <p>#1 looks ok. Is it comfortable? It looks current to me (and it has elbow patches) and the shape is very flattering.</p> <p>#3 Forgive me but this looks dated to me. I would move this on.</p> <p>#4/5 I would move this on as I really don't think it flatters your lovely figure.</p> <p>#6/7 Could be ok I just can't see the fit properly. I would change the buttons.</p> <p>#8/9 I would pass on.</p> <p>#10/11 I like this. Could you get the sleeves shortened? Add some color and I think its quite fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-a-purge-coming-onhelp-needed#post-581223 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 23:18:12 +0000 Deborah 581223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jayne, the angle of the photos is making a bit difficult to assess the jackets but here is my take.</p> <p>#1 looks ok.

And one not pictured here, my absolute all time favorite green wool riding jacket that is 2 sizes too big! It took me two months of storage to say goodbye to her!</p> <p>Thanks for the confirmations, I needed it.</p> <p>And the last one, by the way, since it was last picture, is still on as it was warm and soft and cozy...so it might have to stay for at home cozy time.</p> <p>Gotta get to bed now. Have a great day in the other time zones! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-a-purge-coming-onhelp-needed#post-580998 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:34:21 +0000 jenanded 580998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jayne, when I saw pics 1-3 I was wondering what was wrong with the jackets as there is an ok silhouette happening... My screen is v small so I admit I did not see detail around shoulders and that sag that goes from shoulder down chest when garment too big. The following photos I did not get the same sense of silhouette on you so the pieces did not jump out on their own or in following you... Again my screen for the last jacket, but if its new and fit maybe that one can be styled... Have fun w purge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-a-purge-coming-onhelp-needed#post-580996 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:33:59 +0000 missvee 580996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's hard to tell the fit in these pics but you know best how they feel, so go with your own instincts. I like the cut of #10-11 - it's quite interesting, but none of the others are saying fabulous to me. I think I would let them go to a new home! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-a-purge-coming-onhelp-needed#post-580990 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:33:02 +0000 kellygirl 580990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first jacket. It looks cheeky and fun. I could see that with a denim skirt or jeans. I'm having a hard time seeing the others. The last jacket looks a little roomy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-a-purge-coming-onhelp-needed#post-580986 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:31:53 +0000 Anonymous 580986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi there! I really LOVE the first one on you! It doesn't look too small at all. The red one isn't too bad. After that they start to look slightly dated and a bit big. The last one I don't know about, I'd have to see it styled. The fabric is bulky and the sleeves are really long but I'm sensitive to the fact that it's new. I don't know how many good blazers you have and would hesitate to tell you to toss most of these unless I was sure you had enough replacements. Do you wear one to work every day? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-feel-a-purge-coming-onhelp-needed#post-580969 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:21:32 +0000 jayne 580969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think some lessons are starting to sink in....and this one is about fit. I have lost weight, I have jackets now too big, and I feel I haven't taken pride in myself and moved these babies on to a new home.</p> <p>Here is alot of pix of jackets to get the heave or not?</p> <p>1-2. brown short but not cropped, velveteen? one button, Mango, too small?<br /> 3. red cotton mix, one button, at least 1 size too big (I have added a ribbon on back to make a waist)<br /> 4-5. brown nylon, square box cut, at least 1 size too big<br /> 6-7. Charcoal pin stripe, wool blend, gold buttons, at least 1 size too big?<br /> 8-9. Black box cut wool, with zipper (a favorite for many years), 1 size too big?<br /> 10-11. actually NEW but SSB military jacket. Nubby kinda material, too dull to keep?</p> <p>I decided not to dress up for the jacket shots so we wouldn't be fooled by styling....bring on the votes gals! any keepers?</p> <p>(ignore helmet hair, just back from horse ride and in my 'home alone with cat' clothes) </p>
