If that doesn't work out, I may have to jump on this. I wanted my first leather jacket to be more versatile but then got to thinking, maybe if it's a funky piece I totally love, it will get just as much wear and joy. Will know in 2 days I also saw the 8 as sold out earlier but someone must have returned, as it's back in stock. I'd go for the 10 for me, due to the 34 bust measurement, but I do often take petite smalls and even xs in some jackets, so I don't know . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-shouldnt-have-but-i-did-thanks-to-mo/page/2#post-471153 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 02:57:01 +0000 catgirl 471153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would get dirty if you weren't careful, but it actually already looks a little scuffed up, so it won't matter. If you're a US 2, go with the 8. I'm a 4 or 6 in jackets usually. I don't think saving an item holds it, it's more like a wishlist. But I could be wrong. It may stay around though beause it's out of season now - I think it came out in spring.</p> <p>Look at this one!</p> <p><a href="http://www.revolveclothing.com/DisplayProduct.jsp?product=MUUB-WO56&#038;c=&#038;d=Clothing&#038;currency=USD&#038;source=shopstyle" rel="nofollow">http://www.revolveclothing.com.....=shopstyle</a></p> <p>They are so pricey, this seemed like as good as it gets in terms of a bargain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-shouldnt-have-but-i-did-thanks-to-mo/page/2#post-471142 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 02:40:43 +0000 greenglove 471142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am usually a 2 in US sizes. I find that Asos is unpredictable, but this is not ASOS brand.<br /> I am really tempted but it would be a big splurge and I am in the midst of looking for a winter coat, I took back the H&amp;M one- it was not quite what I wanted. I put one in the saved area of the site. Do they actually save things for a month? By that time I may know what other things i am keeping. I have been trying on lots of coats but nothing is working. That jacket is a gem. I wonder if it will get dirty?<br /> Mo, are you getting one?</p> <p>BTW- I would not layer much- I like jackets really fitted and wear coats over them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-shouldnt-have-but-i-did-thanks-to-mo/page/2#post-471137 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 02:34:32 +0000 catgirl 471137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jean, I'm glad you found it because it looked like the 8 was gone... I think it runs small. What jacket size would you be in a common brand like j. crew - or something like Allsaints? What size was your brown cropped leather jacket? </p> <p>I'm a US 8 in this jacket (!), but I'm always a size bigger on top than in bottoms because of my shoulders, and I wanted some room to layer, as I said. There wasn't a HUGE difference between the two sizes I tried - it was more comfort than fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-shouldnt-have-but-i-did-thanks-to-mo/page/2#post-471134 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 02:28:55 +0000 modgrl 471134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From trying on AS stuff, UK 8 is like a US 4. I really like that it is not pink, that it is a tan-ish pink. I think it will be easier for you to work with and blend into your current wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-shouldnt-have-but-i-did-thanks-to-mo/page/2#post-471118 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 01:49:19 +0000 greenglove 471118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I am now considering ordering this in an 8. They still have some but how on earth can I justify another jacket, cropped and distressed. I am not sure about the color. Una- you can wear more contrast than me. </p> <p>Oh why did I have to see this looking so great on you.</p> <p>Do you think an 8 would fit? US 4 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-shouldnt-have-but-i-did-thanks-to-mo/page/2#post-471020 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 23:08:22 +0000 catgirl 471020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I'm amazed at the love this jacket is getting. My mother would be horrified to see me wearing something that looks like it's been run through a trash compactor, no matter how fashionable it is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-shouldnt-have-but-i-did-thanks-to-mo/page/2#post-471017 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 22:58:12 +0000 Anonymous 471017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-shouldnt-have-but-i-did-thanks-to-mo/page/2#post-470986 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 21:58:00 +0000 Anonymous 470986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This makes your upper half look absolutely teeny-tiny! I love what a cropped jacket does for an IT (esp. me with a long upper torso and shorter legs). Divine. What did they call the color, lobster? It realy looks wonderful with your skin tone. This may be "your" white! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-shouldnt-have-but-i-did-thanks-to-mo/page/2#post-470880 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 18:59:24 +0000 christy 470880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow - love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-shouldnt-have-but-i-did-thanks-to-mo#post-470879 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 18:58:03 +0000 CocoLion 470879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep!

Looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-shouldnt-have-but-i-did-thanks-to-mo#post-470823 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 17:04:04 +0000 catgirl 470823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the 10 may be a large 4/small 6 (how's that for ambiguous?). From knowing how my sweater fit you, I'd say you should get the 10. You're narrower than me. I think you still need a little room to zip it up if you want (it actually looks cool zipped too). The 10 fit me but it was a bit of a squeeze in the shoulders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-shouldnt-have-but-i-did-thanks-to-mo#post-470819 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 17:00:34 +0000 Mo 470819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the sizing info! Since Asos ships free, and it would cost you and I to ship to each other, it makes sense to just send this back - there are still 10's on the website - but thanks for the offer Do you think their 10 equates basically to 4 or more like a 6? Supposedly it's 34 chest 26.75 waist by the size charts.<br /> Let us know how this plays with your other closet friends! I am keeping it in my cart for now while I debate a riding style jacket. Can't have both, I"m afraid! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-shouldnt-have-but-i-did-thanks-to-mo#post-470812 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 16:54:10 +0000 catgirl 470812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jean, it's at ASOS and it was on sale - I am about to mail back a size 10 - I ordered two sizes and ended up a in 12 (British sizing) because of shoulders and needing to wear over layers. I could have gone down a size, though it runs a little small. If it's gone now I can send you (or Mo) the 10 for the price I paid. It was not cheap even on sale, but you were the first person (after Mo!) that I thought of when it arrived.</p> <p><a href="http://www.asos.com/Muu-Baa/Muubaa-Cropped-Leather-Biker-Jacket-With-Raw-Edge-Finish/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1849365&#038;SearchQuery=muu%20baa&#038;sh=0&#038;pge=0&#038;pgesize=20&#038;sort=-1&#038;clr=Lobster" rel="nofollow">http://www.asos.com/Muu-Baa/Mu.....lr=Lobster</a></p> <p>Mo, it's really a light pinkish-tan. It's not an even color, either. I actually feel like they may have come up with this jacket as a way to use leftover leather that would have gone to waste.- but that's okay with me. UWPs are into recycling!</p> <p>Rita, you are right about the challenge of wearing it. However, I'd like to test my theory that RATE doesn't have to be dark colors (as Jean proves!)! What do you think of the light over dark, as in this outfit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-shouldnt-have-but-i-did-thanks-to-mo#post-470794 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 16:22:18 +0000 greenglove 470794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I am dying and want that jacket. Where did you find it? Love!! One of the greatest looks i have seen on you and we all know there have been some spectacular ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-shouldnt-have-but-i-did-thanks-to-mo#post-470788 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 16:15:44 +0000 Shu 470788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, now you just need a red fit and flare strapless dress and a black patent belt to achieve my holiday vision for you! Or a blue dress... Wait, I was thinking it's white... But you could definitely bring your personality to the party with a pretty dress and this over top - there's a picture of Angie around in something similar...</p> <p>Here it is: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/12/01/a-ball-gown-a-biker-jacket-and-a-party/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2010/12/.....d-a-party/</a></p> <p>In any case, I love it. And why do I know what I think you should wear, but not myself? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-shouldnt-have-but-i-did-thanks-to-mo#post-470764 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 15:31:55 +0000 Mo 470764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, so excited to see this on you!!! I thought it would be more pink - I love this color! Please keep. Do you think it would play well over dresses due to the length or is it just a bit too 'thrashed' for that?<br /> (can I ask what size you got? 8? 10? I haven't given up on this for myself just quite yet . . . )</p> <p>added a pic for those who can't see the color </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-shouldnt-have-but-i-did-thanks-to-mo#post-470761 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 15:16:52 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 470761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If anyone can carry off festive RATE, it is you. Definitely keep and throw it into the mix with a few dressy sparkly pieces for the holidays. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-shouldnt-have-but-i-did-thanks-to-mo#post-470753 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 15:07:50 +0000 Jonesy 470753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you kidding?
