Here's another link that might work. It was on Gilt yesterday but sold out in my size while I was debating. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://helmut-lang.fashionstylist.com/helmut-lang-sonar-wool-draped-cardigan-black-small-n.html">http://helmut-lang.fashionstyl.....all-n.html</a> Marmee on "In search of a topper" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-a-topper#post-1239389 Fri, 02 May 2014 01:58:16 +0000 Marmee 1239389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Greyscale, the link the the Helmut Lang jacket didn't work for me, but was it <a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/helmut-lang-villous-zip-front-sweatshirt/3682376?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=121&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_A">this</a> (an Angie pick).  And did you see <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/02/12/weekly-roundup-casual-toppers/">Angie's list of toppers</a>?  I tried the HL sweatshirt on yesterday, and liked it, but wasn't sure if it was too dark for summer.  However, I just noticed that shop bop has it in fog!  I just bought <a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/eileen-fisher-round-neck-zip-jacket-regular-petite/3766975?origin=category-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=2212&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_6_D">this</a>, which looks better on (and unzipped) than it does on the model.  But maybe you're looking for something warmer? <div>BTW, the only drawback to the HL sweatshirt, is that the sleeves are snug on muscular arms (in case yours are like mine…shapely, but not string beans).</div> Greyscale on "In search of a topper" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-a-topper#post-1239371 Fri, 02 May 2014 01:35:29 +0000 Greyscale 1239371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, Allsaints is another great idea.

But it's true that it'll get crumpled. An anorak might be fun, and the Uniqlo one is along those lines... maybe I'll go try it on. Thanks for the yoox idea! I'll go look there.  UmmLila (Lisa) on "In search of a topper" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-a-topper#post-1239348 Fri, 02 May 2014 01:20:41 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1239348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How about an army green anorak type thing?

Greyscale on "In search of a topper" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-a-topper#post-1239242 Thu, 01 May 2014 23:56:42 +0000 Greyscale 1239242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I discovered a wardrobe hole: a midweight summer jacket for our cold summer evenings.  I want something I can shove in my bag in the morning and wear on my way home. That means it has to be fairly casual, but not too casual for my style. Wool, cotton, or a synthetic if it's the right one. Many of my interesting tops have structured shoulders or sleeves that won't work under my biker jacket or cardigans, so a main requirement is loose shoulders/sleeves to fit the tops that don't work with my other jackets. One inspiration is this drapey Zara trench: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zara.com/us/en/woman/coats/long-flowing-trench-coat-c367501p1666544.html">http://www.zara.com/us/en/woma.....66544.html</a> but I'd want something darker gray. This Uniqlo coat is pretty cool but a little too outdoorsy for my look: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.uniqlo.com/us/women/outerwear/jackets-and-coats/military-parka/women-military-parka-086668.html#09">http://www.uniqlo.com/us/women.....arka-08666</a> Or this lightweight Helmut Lang wool jacket that just sold out in my size on Gilt: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.gilt.com/look/women?s_id=697fd78dc28573adb1ae2370a752a442c174e5e018cd04c97cee8b7cfc3db759_1398991708334_1043315021&size_id=11570">http://www.gilt.com/look/women.....7cfc3db759</a> (I do have a men's black denim jacket with big bulky sleeves but it's very unflattering with most outfits. Maybe I should make that one work, but I want something one level nicer.) Any inspiration? I'm looking for ideas I haven't thought of.
