With as short as your summer is and the amount of call you'll be working, I think you're making a great choice to pass for now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954604 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 04:19:57 +0000 velvetychocolate 954604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're considering one of the two - I like #1 better - partially because I feel like it might "go the distance" more than the denim romper, in the sense that it might be a bit more season-spanning (despite being shorts) than #2. </p> <p>Agree with Thistle - if you were to get something like this - #1 will get more wears in your climate than #2 would. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954601 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 04:14:55 +0000 Deborah 954601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1 and could imagine a couple styling options immediately.&nbsp; I don't know the designer or the quality so i couldn't really speak to if it is worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954593 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 03:56:44 +0000 Wendi1984 954593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, I like #2 better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954526 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 02:27:25 +0000 Thistle 954526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you did go with one, would you be willing to use tights and a leather jacket (or any jacket, I just remember your leather one that would go so well) to extend the season? </p> <p>I really lack your edgy fashion forwardness, but of the two, I feel like the first one would lend itself better to extending into fall with tights and a jacket.</p> <p> Still, i do still think the second one seems more you, but as a more fashion forward person, I wonder if it has been you for a bit, if it won't be for much longer as the trend become more mainstream and you early adopt the next trend. I hope I am making sense here. I really see you at the forefront of fashion, and as the denim western trend has been around for a bit, I wonder if you will be over it sooner as you adopted it sooner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954497 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 01:55:40 +0000 Krista 954497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see you in both but if you feel your weekend time will not give you enough opportunities to wear them, then I think you've made the right call to wait for something else. &nbsp;</p> <p>I had never heard of Raquel Allegra before, so it was cool to check out that jumpsuit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954493 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 01:51:18 +0000 Suz 954493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huh. Well, I guess the silver lining is that with all that call, you will have a really big budget for fall shopping!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954471 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 01:18:04 +0000 ironkurtin 954471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Moving - Her pieces each have a history, so they're more like art.&nbsp; I believe they're done in limited runs and treated by hand.&nbsp; That's why they're not cheap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954448 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 00:46:33 +0000 MovingFashionForward 954448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the first one -- to me it is very All Saints style --&nbsp;but for that money? NO WAY! You can find similar tie die print stuff in Primark or New Look for £12 including tax ($18 including tax).</p> <p>The second one -- well, if I liked that I would go to any charity shop or thrift store and run up a copy of it for next to nothing. To me it looks like quite a simple denim-on-denim outfit.</p> <p>I don't understand why these pieces are so expensive, or why you might want to spend so much on them given how easy it would be to get or create something similar for so much less, but perhaps I'm just tight?! Or maybe you are independently wealthy?! But no matter how wealthy I was I would not pay so much for things I could get for so much less. (I would love to see your wardrobe though! I'll bet you have some amazing pieces!)</p> <p>Sarah </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954412 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 00:16:44 +0000 DonnaF 954412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't really care for the color in #1 on you, but maybe it is supposed to remind one of skin?&nbsp; I think the blue in #2 would flatter you much more but it doesn't look all that much like a romper which is what I thought you longed for.&nbsp; Sounds like neither is making your heart jump or at least go pitter-patter.</p> <p>I guess the reality is that you will have more $$$ but less time, so maybe you can focus on your dominant season?&nbsp; Maybe more rompers will be out there next year, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954391 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 00:00:39 +0000 ironkurtin 954391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Raquel Allegra a lot.&nbsp; It looks like a skeleton, but not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954366 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 23:39:44 +0000 annagybe 954366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it was "Reality Bites", yikes 90's flashback. Now I feel old. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954359 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 23:33:16 +0000 bj1111 954359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*snort* "reality is cruel" &nbsp;---isn't this theme a winona ryder movie? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954345 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 23:15:19 +0000 annagybe 954345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok so I thought I would have more free time this summer, which would equal more opportunity to to wear rompers. Today I just found out my pregnant co-worker cannot do call anymore. I'm taking her July weekend of call. And I probably will have more call in general for the next three four months. Our summers are already short, so what I would get only 6 weekends to wear it, if that. So in other words not worthwhile. Reality is cruel.<br /> Thanks for all the input. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954336 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 23:08:39 +0000 rute 954336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 2!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954327 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 22:59:26 +0000 Gaylene 954327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, if you are being super picky, I'd think it depends on when and where, and how often you'd want to wear something like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954262 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 21:45:16 +0000 Suz 954262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can really see you in #2, Anna. But you could make a similar look from existing pieces, too. It wouldn't be a real jumpsuit, but it might be more practical.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954259 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 21:41:51 +0000 Echo 954259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love the first one and can easily see it dressed up with jewelry, heels and a jacket or dressed down with flats. I have never been big on Western themes, so maybe I am not qualified to judge the second. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954218 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 20:56:05 +0000 bj1111 954218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>for me, i prefer the allegra, but i've never been one for denim on denim. &nbsp;you like a lot of marant, but how much longer is the western wear theme going to go on and don't you have tons of this.</p> <p>the allegra is different to me. &nbsp;you do have your boho side so i can see this with your ld tuttles or tights / leather jacket in the fall. &nbsp;yeah, it's jersey...but i think you pay for the design not necessarily the materials. &nbsp;(of course i have fallen under helmut spell of paying exorbitant amounts for what is essentially long printed tee!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954213 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 18:19:29 +0000 rachylou 954213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw the Raquel Allegra online yesterday. It's a great dress and it's not that I believe she's got the greatest profit margin, but I still feel it's an inflationary price.</p> <p>The Isabel Marant is closer to reasonable at the sale price.</p> <p>That said, if I had money burning a hole in my pocket, I'd buy either. Probably the Allegra, because I think my next fashion move will be to get back to my hippie roots... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954206 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 17:50:14 +0000 rae 954206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the second one better. It seems like it will have more longevity, and for some reason #1 seems like it could veer into baby onesie territory. Maybe it's the fabrication.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954193 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 17:24:23 +0000 Hil 954193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought was "holy crap that is a lot of money!"</p> <p>Having said that though, I quite like #1, #2 is a bit more you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954188 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 17:22:30 +0000 Thistle 954188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think so.&nbsp; Although, of the two, I feel like the second one is more your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954184 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 17:16:57 +0000 unfrumped 954184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954158 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 16:32:32 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 954158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It really depends on your budget and your style goals.&nbsp; It's <u>very</u> cute, but it's a good bit of money, for a one-trick pony.&nbsp;&nbsp; How would you style it?&nbsp; &nbsp; Can you make multiple outfits out of it, that you love? </p> <p>(You posted the other link while I was typing!&nbsp; Ditto for the Isabel Marant, it's cute, but does it meet your style and lifestyle needs?)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954157 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 16:32:26 +0000 annagybe 954157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh I just found this too.</p> <p><a href="http://www.theoutnet.com/product/183570" rel="nofollow">http://www.theoutnet.com/product/183570</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-worth-it-1#post-954150 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 16:20:39 +0000 annagybe 954150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I first saw this at Totokaelo, but my size sold out pretty fast.</p> <p><a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/348958" rel="nofollow">http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/348958</a></p> <p>I'm not really on SYC, but I'm being super picky as of late.<br /> What do you think? </p>
