The jacket looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-which-i-break-my-vow#post-2411036 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 23:53:52 +0000 Jaime 2411036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent story Suz! And isn't it funny that this more sophisticated pink shade was found in the children's section? You look fantastic and no one would ever guess where you found this jacket. Eagerly awaiting more tales from the big day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-which-i-break-my-vow#post-2411028 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 23:31:48 +0000 Lisa 2411028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are killing it with jackets, first the cropped trench with hood and now this pink denim darling! The fit and color could not be more perfect, and how fun you had YLFers helping you shop for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-which-i-break-my-vow#post-2411025 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 23:16:16 +0000 JAileen 2411025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like that shade of pink. &nbsp;It looks a bit like North Face’s current pink called Metal Pink. &nbsp;I tried to find your jacket but couldn’t, because I had skipped the details, i.e., children’s section! &nbsp;Hahaha! &nbsp;You look great in it, and great outfit, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-which-i-break-my-vow#post-2411022 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 22:22:14 +0000 Suz 2411022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Styling definitely matters, <b>Debbie</b>. I'm also going to try the pink with red, too, as <b>Angie </b>suggests.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Aquamarine,</b> your daughter may indeed get lucky.&nbsp; For reference, I had to size DOWN in this jacket -- normallylI could fit an XXL kids, but had to take the XL. (I'm 5'4". And my weight/ fluff is higher than typical due to three months of little exercise on account of my injury.). </p> <p>It's just a tiny bit oversized with round shoulders. She might find the sleeves short. They are short on me but I always scrunch them anyway, so it's irrelevant.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks, <b>K</b>. I am blushing as pink as the jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks, <b>Dee</b>! I can see you in this colour, too!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-which-i-break-my-vow#post-2411020 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 22:00:23 +0000 Debbie 2411020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great color on you and a great reminder that the styling maters. I love this jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-which-i-break-my-vow#post-2411019 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 21:37:32 +0000 Aquamarine 2411019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great color! Going to tell my daughter. She’s been looking for a pink denim jacket, and at 5’ has good luck in kid sizes for *some* items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-which-i-break-my-vow#post-2411018 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 21:37:23 +0000 K. Period. 2411018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket is magic! It looked even more stunning on you in person than it does in your photo. Definitely a never-say-never purchase. &lt;3&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-which-i-break-my-vow#post-2411016 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 21:29:26 +0000 Dee 2411016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, the pink jacket looks so perfect combine together with the grey stripes and white crops. Love that you could source your new jackets in the kid's section of the Gap. So wonderful that you've finally found your pink.<br /> Can't wait to hear more tales on the Fab anniversary gathering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-which-i-break-my-vow#post-2411014 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 21:00:02 +0000 Suz 2411014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I read this blog post, on Friday, apart from a pair of pajamas, I did not own a single item in soft pink. Or any kind of pink. </p> <p>Why? Not because I dislike pink. Cool and even neutral pinks flatter my skin tone, and over the years, I've bought pink top after pink top after pink top. </p> <p>Only to avoid wearing them! </p> <p>Somehow, pink items always end up feeling too sweet for my taste. I put them on, and then take them off in favour of something else. </p> <p>Tired of wasting money, three years ago I absolutely swore off all pink except for PJs, undies, and loungewear. </p> <p>Until Saturday's shopathon, that is.&nbsp;</p> <p>More on the amazing Seattle gathering later, but for context, I was absolutely in the market for a cropped and fairly fitted denim jacket to replace one of my earliest YLF purchases that had finally given up the ghost after 14 years.&nbsp;</p> <p>We'd tried a number of options in the adult sections of different stores without success. Then I reminded <b>Angie </b>that I'd got a previous white denim jacket in the kids' section of Old Navy. (A detail she remembered, by the way. She has a memory for people's wardrobes like you would not believe.) </p> <p>Anyway, while at the Gap, we headed to the kids' section. There, I found my blue denim jacket! Better yet, it cost less than a third of the price of the cheapest adult option we had seen. </p> <p>I also wanted a white version, which they did not have. But -- you guessed it -- they <b>did </b>have a soft pink number. If I'd been shopping on my own, I'd have walked right past it. In fact, I <b>did </b>walk right past it without even seeing it! </p> <p>But when the lovely <b>Nuancedream </b>pointed it out and encouraged me to give it a try, I couldn't say no. Meanwhile, the patient&nbsp;<b>Firecracker </b>and <b>Angie </b>held my stuff and offered opinions. </p> <p>What can I say? Gap had a Buy one, get one half price deal going on. that day. It seemed like a sign.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have owned this jacket now for four days and have already worn it three times. So much for not wearing pink! </p> <p>What makes it work for me? <b>Angie's</b> trick of pairing it with something high contrast, for starters. Also, this jacket is a slightly "dirty" colour -- a greyed out pastel, rather than one mixed with a lot of white. Normally, I prefer clearer, less muted colours, but here, the grey takes some of the sweetness away from the pastel and makes it feel easier (to me!) to wear. </p> <p>More on the other items and our amazing fun get together&nbsp; in a later post! </p>
