Have no doubts about it--it looks wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-daughters-of-the-liberation-jacket-via-anthropologie#post-363668 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 04:47:43 +0000 Kari 363668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heather, I love your ideas. Yes, I could totally see this with skinnies and boots in the fall and winter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-daughters-of-the-liberation-jacket-via-anthropologie#post-363667 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 04:46:52 +0000 Kari 363667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! Thank you all for chiming in. I'm glad that the jacket works. Now we'll see if I can get a discount or at least a free repair. The sale price was *really* good, and I'm just tickled that I was able to score it before it went out of stock entirely, so I'd be okay if they simply repaired it at their cost rather than discounting the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-daughters-of-the-liberation-jacket-via-anthropologie#post-363650 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 04:06:37 +0000 Angie 363650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER. Needless to say I voted yay!</p> <p>This is *such* a good Seattle garment. You can't get enough of this type of thing around here Kari </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-daughters-of-the-liberation-jacket-via-anthropologie#post-363645 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 03:59:10 +0000 Heather 363645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, this jacket is going to be such a workhorse in your wardrobe. Truly a four season piece. I love this with the pencil skirt and scarf, but just think how awesome it will be with trousers, skinnies and knee boots. </p> <p>p.s. I love that it came with its own belt. Very fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-daughters-of-the-liberation-jacket-via-anthropologie#post-363644 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 03:58:57 +0000 MsMary 363644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! Keep! And definitely see about a price adjustment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-daughters-of-the-liberation-jacket-via-anthropologie#post-363643 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 03:58:22 +0000 Melissa 363643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jacket! I can see this being a really versatile piece. I personally would only keep if they did a price adjustment, but that's because I am neurotic and it would drive me crazy otherwise. Also love the scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-daughters-of-the-liberation-jacket-via-anthropologie#post-363637 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 03:44:17 +0000 christy 363637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are absolutely right that this will be a 3-season jacket for Seattle - looks very versatile and could be dressed up or down easily. I like the way you've styled it here and I'm thinking it would look great with a simple white tee and jeans too. Ditto what San and Debbie said - definitely take it back to Anthro and see if they'll discount it further for you. It's worth a shot if nothing else. Beautiful scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-daughters-of-the-liberation-jacket-via-anthropologie#post-363631 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 03:27:32 +0000 Kari 363631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Modgrl, it feels very comfortable. Stylistically, I don't think it feels like such a far cry from my current style that I'm uncomfortable - it's just a transition.</p> <p>Good point, Kate. I was thinking (because of the cotton/linen blend material) that this could be a pretty good 3 season jacket - transitioning from Spring to summer, layering on a chilly summer evening, and transitioning back in to fall. I hope it will prove to be as versatile as I'm anticipating.</p> <p>Thanks for the suggestion, San and Debbie. Somehow that idea just did not occur to me. I'll give them a call or else pop down to my nearest Anthro store and see if they can process a price adjustment, since the jacket is now totally sold out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-daughters-of-the-liberation-jacket-via-anthropologie#post-363618 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 03:15:52 +0000 Debbie 363618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this. I would call and see if they would adjust the price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-daughters-of-the-liberation-jacket-via-anthropologie#post-363606 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 03:01:00 +0000 catgirl 363606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. It is military-esque but still feminine and suits you very well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-daughters-of-the-liberation-jacket-via-anthropologie#post-363596 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 02:45:19 +0000 san 363596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look absolutely gorgeous. I love this jacket better than any military jacket. It has the slight nuances without being too much. Great choice. I think though that you will, and should, get a discount for having it be defective, or get another one that is made properly.<br /> The scarf is also beautiful. You have such great taste and always look so good. Ofcourse your smile tops everything off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-daughters-of-the-liberation-jacket-via-anthropologie#post-363591 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 02:39:12 +0000 annette 363591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket and really love the outfit! Keep keep keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-daughters-of-the-liberation-jacket-via-anthropologie#post-363587 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 02:33:36 +0000 Kate 363587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote keep! I looks versatile and I like the pattern on the inside of the sleeves. And the stitching should be a very easy fix. For what it's worth, I think it should be a great length, especially in Seattle where you don't want anything to be too cropped because we need those extra couple inches of warmth! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-daughters-of-the-liberation-jacket-via-anthropologie#post-363583 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 02:30:29 +0000 modgrl 363583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice jacket! How do you feel in it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-daughters-of-the-liberation-jacket-via-anthropologie#post-363536 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 01:38:40 +0000 Kari 363536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?color=041&amp;navAction=jump&amp;id=20292272&amp;tabStyle=Reviews">This jacket</a> that I spotted at Anthropologie during the Seattle meetup recently went on sale for less than 50% of its original listed price, so I ordered one of the last pieces in stock to try out. Reading the reviews online, I opted to size up and was glad that I did - it fits nicely but not too snugly over a tee shirt, has plenty of room in the bust and shoulders, but isn't too bulky. I think the jacket is intended to be a tiny bit more cropped than how it actually appears on me, but as I'm very short-waisted, normally a cropped jacket ends up being hip-length on me anyway.<br /> The main disappointment is that one of the side seams under the armpit is not sewed together very well, like the sewing machine just missed a section. I think it's something that would be very easy for my mom to reinforce, though.</p> <p>So... the question is, do I keep it? It's definitely a bit different than my usual moto jacket/blazer rotation, and part of the reason I tried it is that it seemed like it could kind of give me a different direction with my business casual/smart casual wardrobe. It's also subtly picking up the vibe of the military jackets that I had lusted over a couple seasons ago - I was never able to find a military jacket that really made my senses tingle.<br /> I could picture wearing this in a business casual outfit like this one below - with a pencil skirt or a simple dress - or even with bermuda shorts during summer. </p> <p>Or... maybe you ladies can think of even better suggestions about how I should wear it if it is deemed a keep-able piece.</p> <p>What do you think?</p> <p>(The silk scarf is also new via the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale.) </p>
