I've been chuckling all morning. Thanks! I'm not upset about the comment, just astounded when, really, I shouldn't be.</p> <p>And yes, Rae, I agree - the purple jacket is great!!</p> <p>Ruth - those quotes are terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say#post-671968 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 16:07:48 +0000 Isabel 671968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually don't find that funny AT ALL. Those people sound like middle schoolers. It is just mean to have "fun" at someone's expense.</p> <p>You, on the other hand, are a wonderful and wise woman. You turn this around and try to pass forward some kindness. I am touched by your thoughtfulness.</p> <p>Ruth : ROFL !!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say#post-671955 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 15:41:07 +0000 Anonymous 671955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "If you want to give someone a piece of your mind, make sure you have enough to spare." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say#post-671951 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 15:38:23 +0000 Aziraphale 671951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear. The person was probably just trying to be funny, but still. Not a kind-spirited comment. </p> <p>I bet your outfit looked great -- it sounds great! -- so not to worry. And for what it's worth, flight attendants are required to look very polished and put together. Some airlines have fantastic, chic outfits. I know it wasn't the look you were going for, but I wouldn't necessarily be too insulted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say#post-671943 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 15:36:44 +0000 rae 671943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let's see, I've been called Swamp Thing, a flight attendant, Dick Whittington... yeah, some people just don't have filters. I take it as a sign that the outfit was eye catching and fun!</p> <p>I also like that band leader jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say#post-671940 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 15:34:12 +0000 Isis 671940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of laughing it off......., your title reminds me of the quote by Alice Roosevelt Longworth,</p> <p>"If you haven't got anything nice to say about anybody.......... come sit next to me." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say#post-671938 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 15:33:44 +0000 Anonymous 671938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some people just don't have filters on their mouths and say whatever first comes to mind. Ignore them, for their opinions are not worth considering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say#post-671930 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 15:28:52 +0000 ironkurtin 671930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jamie... you can purchase the bandleader jacket for $30 off ebay...</p> <p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Marc-By-Marc-Jacobs-Burgundy-Jacket-Size-M-will-fit-size-6-/290746093319?pt=US_CSA_WC_Outerwear&#038;hash=item43b1d14f07" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Marc-B.....43b1d14f07</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say#post-671889 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 14:36:42 +0000 Jamie 671889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good one, Shannon, and good advice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say#post-671886 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 14:32:55 +0000 Jamie 671886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for listening to me vent! I have a pretty tough skin, but I'm still astounded by what people say sometimes. Foot in mouth disease - I like that one! I should have taken a photo of this one, Angie, I just ran out of time this morning before I left for work. Maybe this evening when I get home if I don't look too bedraggled.</p> <p>IK - I would have loved to see your jacket. It sounds like it was terrific.</p> <p>Ceit - Love military styling!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say#post-671885 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 14:30:57 +0000 Angie 671885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes! Answering your question from another thread:</p> <p>Jamie, a symmetrical zip on a leather jacket is always going to look best on a full bust to my eye, because it hangs open *as well" as it hangs zipped up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say#post-671884 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 14:30:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 671884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh we have all received those types of comments, especially once we start spreading our wings (pun intended) and experimenting with our style. I'm sure you looked gorgeous - I've learned from YLF when I get those type of comments to just say "thanks for noticing" and then walk away. It leave the commentator confused! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say#post-671879 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 14:26:52 +0000 Anonymous 671879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband does that all the time when I wear my military jackets. I just salute him back (with a certain finger). Ha, no I usually just roll my eyes and march away exaggeratedly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say#post-671878 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 14:26:09 +0000 Angie 671878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chuckling at Debbie.</p> <p>Your outfit sounds nothing short of fabulous, Jamie. You are a sport, so ROCK ON!</p> <p>Some people unfortunately have no filters, and they think they are being "cute" and "funny" - when they are actually being quite rude. </p> <p>Can you see my eyes rolling? </p> <p>Now lets see more of your amazing style so that we can give YOU a compliment </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say#post-671877 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 14:24:34 +0000 ironkurtin 671877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had one jacket that a coworker thought looked like I was leading a marching band (Marc Jacobs at his height) and finally I got rid of it. It was just too tiring watching him pumping his arms like he was playing a trombone every time I passed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say#post-671875 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 14:22:13 +0000 Debbie 671875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know you looked fabulous. Have a great day and try not to let people's foot in mouth disease bother you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say#post-671874 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 14:21:40 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 671874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say ignore the snickering: it says more about those people than about your outfit. If you like it and feel good in it, enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say#post-671870 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 14:16:27 +0000 Jamie 671870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today, I ventured out and put together a skirt and jacket combination that I hadn't tried yet. I fall victim to "outfit rut" quite often, so I'm trying to come up with new combinations. I have on a skirt and jacket you've seen before (gray/silver lace patterned skirt and coral jacket with taupe tips at the lapel). I paired those with an ivory silk blouse and ivory shoes. I think it turned out pretty well, really.</p> <p>The first comment I get when I walk in the door at work is that I look like a flight attendant, and then the person started to make arm gestures like one of the guys who guides the plane in to the gate. (I can hear some snickering out there -- it was pretty funny now that I think about it.) I have absolutely nothing against flight attendants or the guys on the ground, but that certainly wasn't the look I was after. Really. Do this for me today -- if you see someone who looks like they need a boost, give them a compliment! Now, where did I leave my wings pin? </p>
