I could definitely feel the wind through my jeans when I was outdoors, and for a day when I would be spending more time outside, I would probably wear some thermals underneath, or my UA running tights, which work really well as a warm under layer. But my legs are usually the last part of me to feel cold. I did have thin sock liners plus wool socks in those boots though -- my feet and my hands are the first parts of me to freeze!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1616287 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 15:59:09 +0000 Dana 1616287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! Tell me you had tights underneath your jeans!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615815 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 15:44:54 +0000 Anonymous 1615815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look and colour scheme on you, Janet! It's so perfect when a previous orphan steps back into the limelight, like owning a whole new item. Your bundled up look is so much more chic than the ridiculous maxi-puffer I've been wearing. Well done for staying stylish in this crazy weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615814 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 15:41:45 +0000 Jenn 1615814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit is SO GOOD! I love the way those interesting, long sweater cuffs peek out under the jacket, and even past the winter coat. That design detail totally makes the sweater... it looks a little like thumbholes, without the same impracticality or athletic connotations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615789 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 14:33:47 +0000 Anonymous 1615789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great save on the jacket! I love the colour! You're right, the sweater does seem to be a perfect partner for it and both pairs of boots you have on look great with your outfit too. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615767 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 11:33:10 +0000 Deborah 1615767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet this looks fantastic! I'm am glad this jacket has been de-orphaned:). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615750 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 07:25:47 +0000 Kaelyn 1615750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. And very well styled. Now I think I need a metallic jacket for next winter! It adds a lot of pizzazz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615680 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 02:32:05 +0000 Janet 1615680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, you're right. I had grown a little unsure whether this jacket is the best color on me since it is warmer than my preferred cool silver/pewter tones (the closeup photo skewed the color cooler than it really is), but I think it still works. It's cropped enough that it requires a little more care on styling than my other, longer motos, but I found some good pairings last night so I now feel like I can make a good outfit quickly with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615673 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 02:15:28 +0000 Jaime 1615673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic short jacket save!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615672 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 02:13:56 +0000 catgirl 1615672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, weren't you commenting on someone else's silver moto?&nbsp; And look, you have something very similar!&nbsp; I do the very same thing - I have a tendency to hoard items I love but fall back on a few workhorses.&nbsp; Let's make a pact to wear our little-worn treasures.&nbsp; Maybe a challenge? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615671 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 02:13:50 +0000 Karie 1615671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! I love combining old and new in an outfit. The Ugg fleece lined boots are definitely the way to go. Our temps here today, with wind chill were 30 to 40 below zero! Even the dogs didn't want to go out :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615631 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 00:54:48 +0000 Sal 1615631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this a lot. &nbsp;The sweater is gorgeous - I can see how the metallic fleck could really bring in hardware from jackets effectively. &nbsp;The colour is stunning.</p> <p>I definitely see this as a success and worthy of repeating!!</p> <p>I did read your first thread, and you had some excellent points. &nbsp;I did the same last winter with a couple of pieces that were not seeing the daylight much....with a couple it highlighted that they needed to go, others actually became really useful pieces.</p> <p>I am on the look out for a new coat this winter and I think a cocoon coat may be the best for layering reasons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615615 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 00:28:38 +0000 Anonymous 1615615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Save!

And I've met you in person a few times and can attest to that most ardently. You are &nbsp;Elegant Rock'N Roll.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615536 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 22:27:13 +0000 Janet 1615536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TG, I like that "elegant-edgy" description! I may be stealing that. Thank you, ladies!&nbsp;</p> <p>I've been enjoying wearing this jacket today, and I really don't think it's any less physically comfortable than a sweater or less structured topper. I could maybe stand a little more coverage on my wrists (gah, the wind!), but that's pretty minor. I consider today's outfit a success. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615533 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 22:23:00 +0000 Angie 1615533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer</p> <p>I LOVE the way you styled the jacket, and you look adorable all bundled up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615524 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 22:14:24 +0000 Helena 1615524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, you have the elegant-edgy look down pat. I love your earrings. Fanstastic jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615482 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 19:53:29 +0000 rachylou 1615482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hat is so jaunty! I have a side zip coat; I have to work on wearing that and being so cute, lol. The boots in #2 woke me up a little bit; I find them unexpected but as good as the black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615480 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 19:50:43 +0000 gryffin 1615480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet - love it!! &nbsp;So elegant. &nbsp;I do love cropped jackets over a longer layer. &nbsp;You could also try it over a tunic and leggings, I think that would be very stunning. &nbsp;Love the coat plus I have the finney boots, great choice and they look fab with almost anything. &nbsp;Can't wait to see what else you come up with!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615466 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 19:25:12 +0000 Janet 1615466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Sterling and Donna!</p> <p>Donna, my coat is a size 8 and sufficiently roomy to layer underneath and accommodate my hips, which is usually the trickiest part of a straighter cut coat for me. I'm 5'7" and short-torsoed and typically wear a 6 or 8 in tops. So I'd say this coat runs pretty TTS or maybe a little on the generous side since sometimes I can go up to a 10 in a coat that allows for layering.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615462 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 19:14:56 +0000 MTBGirl 1615462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great Janet! Isn't it so nice to discover an item that helps revive and de-orphanize! I love that coat... I was tempted to get it in the cabernet, they are on final sale now. hmmm... but final. Do you mind if I ask what size yours is? Some of the reviews said it runs large and some said small. I think I'm almost your height but I'm longer torso.&nbsp;<br />And yes bundle up! That wind is wicked! We are at a wind chill of 0 right now and tonight is going to be worse with temps dropping into the negatives.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615458 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 19:04:18 +0000 Anonymous 1615458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Janet. &nbsp;The jacket is beautiful in that ensemble. &nbsp;Really amazing. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-project-day-1#post-1615456 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 18:53:20 +0000 Janet 1615456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First up, my metallic (not quite gold, not quite pewter?) 3/4 sleeve, leather Theory jacket from maybe 6 years ago. It's very cropped, which makes it not the easiest thing to work with, but I think it's working well with a longer top or sweater with not too much volume. </p> <p>This Zara sweater I purchased before the holidays is magical. The subtle metallic fleck and the black in it blend so well with my wardrobe. I'm so glad I got it. I discovered last night that it goes well with a lot of the jackets and vests I have not been wearing. Combining a current, trendy-ish item with an older piece that has lost some of its novelty is a great way to revive a wardrobe! </p> <p>It's really cold here today. I started to wear this with my old Frye boots (pic 2) because the tones of the boots and jacket match, but my Ugg Finney moto boots have that fleece inner lining, which makes them warmer. So pic 1 is the final outfit. Pic 5 is bundled up for the outdoors -- with wind chill it's 10 degrees here. Brrr! </p>
