And with my casual life I can justify these kind of jackets more easily than dressier pieces (the blazer is something I would have to dress down). But it's a lot of money for something that doesn't fill a wardrobe hole -- in fact, there's the opposite of a hole when it comes to me and jackets -- I have enough that I'm starting to think of purging some older, unworn ones. Or at least put them in a holding zone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-830233 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 14:42:56 +0000 Janet 830233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I'm safe. The 8s are sold out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-830164 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 10:14:48 +0000 Deborah 830164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is stunning! And so you Janet. I'm an enabler, so I will just leave it at that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-829843 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 23:16:48 +0000 annagybe 829843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rats it's not in my size. Angie hasn't banned me from more leather jackets.....yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-829840 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 23:12:35 +0000 Caro in Oz 829840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think leather jackets are your statement pieces (like Liz &amp; her jewels). So if you really love it &amp; it fits I don't see a problem with upgrading - let go of the things you don't wear or love. </p> <p>As far as the trendiness of it goes I think it would depend on the wearer - I think you could get a lot of wear out of it before you felt it was dated in any way. </p> <p>If you are over it then please ignore the above but sometimes it isn't about trendiness or how many we have it's to do with pleasure &amp; self-expression. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-829750 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 20:51:38 +0000 texstyle 829750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a really fun and cool jacket but I can agree that it's nice to window shop sometimes. Even though I think you would look amazing in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-829737 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 20:33:52 +0000 Lyn D. 829737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful jacket!<br /> If I had a couple in my closet that I wasn't wearing I would consider selling them to fund a new be, but on-line purchasing of big-ticket items can be hit and miss too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-829727 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 20:19:18 +0000 catgirl 829727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is stunning, and there's a dipdye one in another color that I love. In fact, all the Muubaa jackets are gorgeous on there.... Ack! Can you do two blue leather jackets? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-829696 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 19:17:58 +0000 Adelfa 829696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can imagine this being so cool for the right person. To me it seems like it could be worn for a while because it's always going to look a little out there. (Sorry, not trying to encourage you!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-829667 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 18:23:07 +0000 christieanne 829667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love ombre! Reminds me of a pair of teal ombre Kenneth Cole heels I bought in NYC on a trip. Finally admitted last year that they were for an imaginary lifestyle and sold at consignment.<br /> Sometimes we can admire and move on </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-829653 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 18:10:16 +0000 CocoLion 829653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Regarding the admiring without owning...</p> <p>I have an "Imaginary Lifestyle" pin board. I pin things in this category, somehow putting it somewhere where I can go back and "own" it at least in a picture, makes me feel better.</p> <p>I struggle more with things that really are suited to my lifestyle and within my budget, because I convince myself I really do need more than one green layering top for the winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-829649 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 18:00:59 +0000 rae 829649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOOOOOOH, it's so cooooool! Of course it has to be way, way too expensive for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-829643 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 17:45:01 +0000 lynne 829643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, the "admiring without owning" is difficult. I'm working on it, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-829594 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 16:28:21 +0000 Raisin 829594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG it comes in leather too! Wow, that is so similar to your blazer! Well if the blazer does work out (but I'm thinking it will look fab), then I think you HAVE to try this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-829584 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 16:10:17 +0000 Thistle 829584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While I agree with Allison, it is currently a very trendy leather jacket. Put then I currently like that gradient look. Probably won't in five years. Or maybe even three. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-829575 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 15:59:19 +0000 Archer 829575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to be helpful. I'm there too. Beware the classic that hath strayed too far off the path, as to be bordering on 'period piece' . Lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-829555 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 15:44:08 +0000 Janet 829555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Allison, such wisdom! :-)</p> <p>Well, my youth is um, relative, shall we say, since I'm pushing 50. When my "cool" clothes get passed along, they go to my nieces. </p> <p>But honestly, I really don't need more of this type of thing in my wardrobe. Could it be I'm learning to admire things without having to own them? I'm working on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-829554 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 15:43:06 +0000 ironkurtin 829554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet - get rid of what you don't wear! Someone will be thrilled to have it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-829550 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 15:40:21 +0000 Janet 829550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought that about the blazer too, Alicat! An evil little part of me thought that maybe if the blazer doesn't work out... But Angie has decreed (and I reluctantly admit it's wise) a leather jacket moratorium for me. </p> <p>I wonder if I'd get special dispensation if I sold an old one or two. I have a couple from my larger sized days that are not particularly special and they're not getting worn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-829547 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 15:39:50 +0000 Archer 829547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is exquisite. I can't help thinking it will have a brief time in the limelight and become quickly dated followed by a period when you wouldn't wear it all and, may even find it cringeworthy. Then, if you are lucky enough to afford this at a young age, there will be at least if not two more periods of time where, once again, it is 'right on baby' but when your grand children find it, in some old suitcase, they will reap its true cool (happiness) factor benefit. It's a Pay it Forward purchase. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-829544 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 15:31:49 +0000 Anonymous 829544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, it's the leather version of your new blazer! </p> <p>Maybe Cupid will bring it to you for Valentine's Day? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-know-i-cant-get-this-but#post-829535 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 15:21:42 +0000 Janet 829535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Someone please buy and wear so I can live vicariously through you!</p> <p><a href="http://us.asos.com/Muubaa-Dip-Dyed-Leather-Biker-Jacket/zbsww/?iid=2752083&#038;cid=6930&#038;sh=0&#038;pge=0&#038;pgesize=-1&#038;sort=-1&#038;clr=Ocean+blue&#038;mporgp=L011dWJhYS9NdXViYWEtRGlwLUR5ZWQtTGVhdGhlci1CaWtlci1KYWNrZXQvUHJvZC8" rel="nofollow">http://us.asos.com/Muubaa-Dip-.....XQvUHJvZC8</a>. </p>
