Jeanie on "In Theory" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-theory/page/2#post-1053033 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 05:15:39 +0000 Jeanie 1053033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nordies has a Navy Blue pinstripe Lanai on sale for 60% off right now!  I would pull the trigger but sounds like I won't fit the brand from the comments.  Hope someone else can take advantage! catgirl on "In Theory" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-theory/page/2#post-1053000 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 04:13:31 +0000 catgirl 1053000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Rae said.  I'm one size up from Rae in most items and I'm an 8 in this blazer - Theory runs insultingly small IMHO, but it's worth the insult. rae on "In Theory" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-theory/page/2#post-1052997 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 04:06:48 +0000 rae 1052997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Vicki and Elizabeth, I wear a size 2 shirt in Brooks Brothers, 0-2 in Ann Taylor tops, 6 in Karen Millen, 2 in Tahari, XXS in Danier, XS in my Banana tops, XS in the Nordstrom Nexx silk blouse, and I think I was a 2 in the last Gap blazer I tried on (don't currently own any).  In the Lanai, I take a 6! The 4 fit and looked nice, but it did not leave much room for movement in the shoulders. And I typically find most shoulders cut too big for me.  Elizabeth P on "In Theory" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-theory/page/2#post-1052543 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:12:20 +0000 Elizabeth P 1052543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So... this jacket looks so fab on so many people, I'm also checking out eBay. :)  Can you, or anyone else, comment on the sizing?  Compared to somethng we probably all know, like BR?  Hmm, maybe I should start a thread for that... Oh, sorry, I was awestruck.  I want MaryK's macro, cuz it's true! Vicki on "In Theory" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-theory/page/2#post-1052526 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:01:10 +0000 Vicki 1052526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ In reality, you were meant for Theory!  Stunner of an outfit.  What size are you?  I "think" I'm a 2 (in the Gabe B, anyway), and I'm not sure how differently your Lanai is cut from the Gabe.

I love everything about this, from the sparkle of your leaf necklace and bangles to your scrunchy skinnies and strappy shoes. You look gorgeous! ironkurtin on "In Theory" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-theory#post-1051554 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 12:51:40 +0000 ironkurtin 1051554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How do you button all the way without choking to death? Maybe my problem is having a short squat neck.

That's how I roll, anyway.  Actually, I haven't yet decided whether or not to keep my Lanai. But that's how I would roll, theoretically, if I kept my Theory.
