Here is an example of a flattering olive color in a jacket I'm currently pining for&nbsp;(they call it "kale"):</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.lafayette148ny.com/store/-strse-13948/Detail">http://www.lafayette148ny.com/.....948/Detail</a></p> <p>I'm not sure who would be flattered by such a yellow tone. It seems harsh.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-cull---olive-jacket#post-991116 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 14:16:32 +0000 Vix 991116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Janet --</p> <p>I actually love the jacket, but am having a hard time with the color for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-cull---olive-jacket#post-991114 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 14:12:24 +0000 Susie 991114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everyone else is much better at analyzing the why but for me it's simply "not Janet." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-cull---olive-jacket#post-991108 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 14:04:12 +0000 Transcona Shannon 991108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Somehow this jacket doesn't read "Janet" to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-cull---olive-jacket#post-991032 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 12:48:59 +0000 Janet 991032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everybody. I haven't pulled the trigger on the eBay listing yet, but I have a lot of jackets that I grab before this one. The color is part of the issue, I'm sure. It's not a color I regularly wear, and I usually shy away from these yellowy-greens -- I look better in bluer-toned ones and they are much more prevalent in my wardrobe. The buttons bother me now, too, but if you look closely you will see that the pattern would probably look odd if I swapped out the buttons -- the alternating smaller buttons are not equally spaced to the larger ones. </p> <p>It is not a great jacket to wear open because the straps are not tacked down (I suppose I could try that) and they sort of hang and get caught on things. </p> <p>I have enough grab-and-go casual jackets, even for mucking around, yard work, and such, and honestly, this jacket seems a little too nice for yardwork. I'd rather get a little cash back on it than relegate it to infrequent use in that kind of setting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-cull---olive-jacket#post-990968 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 10:39:05 +0000 jurocha 990968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't wear green, but about a month ago I bought an olive green jeans jacket and I am loving it. It is so versatile and goes with pretty much everything.</p> <p>I do like your version of it and having had this experience I previously described, I would keep this utilitarian coat. Since your coat has many details, maybe you would start grabbing for it after pairing it with some very simple pieces like a cotton maxi summer dress/maxi skirt (preferably in black; back grey and even white will do too).</p> <p>As a last resource, you can also exchange the buttons for tiny old dark golden ones (like the ones from regular jeans jackets). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-cull---olive-jacket#post-990948 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 09:54:25 +0000 kkards 990948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>if its waterproof maybe i'd recommend keeping, otherwise, time to move on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-cull---olive-jacket#post-990922 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 07:53:01 +0000 VernieJane 990922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a cute jacket: unique and stylish. But there is something that is just not right, and that is preventing you from wearing it all the time. I THINK it might be the two larger buttons on the front closure. Maybe you could change the buttons and enjoy it more? Otherwise, I think the colour is fab, and the cut and size and style are ALMOST perfect for you...&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-cull---olive-jacket#post-990916 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 07:35:06 +0000 Lyn D. 990916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I would pass-on. I had one in this shade myself, and never felt right with the colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-cull---olive-jacket#post-990912 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 07:27:54 +0000 Deborah 990912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is difficult for me to be objective. I love the jacket but I have never really liked that colour, but if it's been an orphan I would suggest sell it on Ebay and make some $$ for something else fab </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-cull---olive-jacket#post-990887 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 05:44:40 +0000 CocoLion 990887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The utility jacket aspect of it is on trend. &nbsp;But the buttons need to be uniform for it to look more current. &nbsp;How does it look open? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-cull---olive-jacket#post-990886 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 05:07:13 +0000 SandyG 990886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jacket, maybe try black jeans and cool boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-cull---olive-jacket#post-990882 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 04:58:55 +0000 Adelfa 990882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this jacket. My take on it is that the olive might be a bit too yellow for you. I adore olive but have a lot of trouble finding the right shade for me, so those are the goggles I am looking through. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-cull---olive-jacket#post-990812 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 02:44:31 +0000 elpgal 990812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The rows of horizontal straps are throwing me off. How does it look if worn open? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-cull---olive-jacket#post-990811 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 02:44:13 +0000 Mia 990811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A jacket likely this can be incredibly versatile but this one looks a wee bit dated in your photos. I see why you don't reach for it as far better options in your closet.</p> <p>I would pass it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-cull---olive-jacket#post-990806 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 02:36:28 +0000 Helen 990806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the large buttons, large collar and large strip of material are all overwhelming to your petite features. I see the jacket, and not you! You can do better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-cull---olive-jacket#post-990785 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 01:53:37 +0000 Caro in Oz 990785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the straps (vive la différence). It is the different size&nbsp;buttons that&nbsp;is making it feel a little dated imo - would you consider changing them? I think this could be a great transition piece </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-cull---olive-jacket#post-990783 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 01:52:56 +0000 Mellllls 990783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it is somewhat casual--do you need a casual yardwork, running around jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-cull---olive-jacket#post-990782 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 01:52:06 +0000 Janet 990782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, guys. Yeah, I started photographing it to sell on ebay before I even started getting feedback.

"Look, I have these cool straps! Look, I'm so edgy!" I mean, I do love the color and Janet 's jackets always fit great. It just doesn't rise to her usual standard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-cull---olive-jacket#post-990770 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 01:35:32 +0000 Parsley 990770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jacket a lot, but the color just doesn't seem right for you.

I bought this lightweight spring/fall jacket three years ago in Portland and still like it, but it's a bit of an orphan. </p> <p>What do you think? Not one of my usual colors, maybe not my best. </p> <p>Please ignore lack of styling and post-run hair. </p>
