I find viscose a notoriously unpredictable fabric. I’d be afraid it would shrink and the polyester lining won’t. Btw, were you able to steam/iron out the wrinkles?<br /> Aside from the care issues, it’s a smashing look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen/page/2#post-2041796 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 15:07:53 +0000 Liesbeth 2041796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear your issues on wash and wear. Those are valid concerns that I'm afraid only time will tell about, or reviews if you can find any. If you have experience washing drycleanonly suits then at least you know what you're doing. Fwiw, I LOVE the suit on you. If you are thinking you won't dare wear as a suit, I'm sure you'd get your money's worth out of the seperates. And then you could keep the suit option for special occasions: with a silky top underneath and heels, you'd positively shine amid a see of lbd's! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen/page/2#post-2041788 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 14:52:41 +0000 JAileen 2041788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on you, as an entire outfit. Yes, it’s a lot of yellow, but yellow dress would be a lot of yellow too, and no one questions that. It gives you a lot of options, wearing the pieces together or separately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen/page/2#post-2041769 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 14:16:15 +0000 lyn67 2041769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And what if you wear them as separates-it still pays off to have&nbsp; bottoms, top and a topper in a great color! Love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2041758 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 13:41:13 +0000 anchie 2041758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to apologize for being sporadic on the forum and brief in my responses. I have 5 kids in my household for the summer and they are keeping me busy. I am barely able to leave the kitchen - feeding them is never ending task LOL </p> <p>Back to the suit.</p> <p>Pros : love the color, and the fit. Will replace my poorly fitting yellow blazer and yellow pants that don’t make a suit and will have the option of a suit too.</p> <p>Cons: my weight is not stable and this suit is expensive for me even on the sale. Fabric seems wrinkly, it is 99% viscose and dry clean only. I don’t do dry cleaning and wash all my suits, even wool ones, but not sure how will this one handle washing. </p> <p>And on another note, since not coloring my hair I started feeling invisible. And that invisibility is allowing me to wear more colorful outfits without really sticking out. Or is that all in my head? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2041752 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 13:19:42 +0000 Christina F. 2041752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's stunning on you, but only you can decide about the comfort factor. Either piece would be great on its own though it would be a shame to never wear it as a suit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2041749 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 13:12:25 +0000 Roberta 2041749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie is on the money, but I must say I looove this on you. Maybe it's not something you would wear once a week, but it is an amazing color and has tailored to fit you style. And I'm also with Janet, it might be fun to break up the pieces, but do wear the all in look too.</p> <p>PS, I like the metallic shoes better than the white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2041730 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 12:52:05 +0000 Angie 2041730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>LOVE</p> <p>Smaller size is better.&nbsp;</p> <p>Only you can decide whether this suit will make you feel comfortable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2041718 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 12:42:07 +0000 Janet 2041718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I am not a yellow person. At all. Probably because with the exception of one specific light buttery color, in the summer when I have a little bit of a tan, yellow looks horrible on me. But I do like this on you a lot. The fit looks great, and the style is current yet classic. Very sharp. </p> <p>I think you need to own the look if you’re going to go for it. Yeah, you can break it up and wear the pants with a chambray or white shirt, etc, but it’s really distinctive as a suit. If you have the confidence to rock it in your work environment, I think it can be really fantastic and set you apart from the crowd. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2041706 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 12:00:45 +0000 Bijou 2041706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! Bold, bright and beautiful, the colour is sublime on you and is one that does not work on many people.</p> <p>However, I do understand that it may be too much for your workplace. If there is something that I like but cannot wear to work, then I need to really question whether it should be added to my wardrobe and I only keep if it is LOVE These pieces could be worn as separates and it is so fun to have the suit for special occasions, so I am veering towards team keep, but only you can answer the question of whether you will actually wear this beautiful suit.</p> <p>I saw Angie’s post today where she wore her suit from Christmas with sneakers for her 13 hour NAS shopping marathon and looked stunning. This suit is fun and stunning like Angie’s. Do you think you could just go for broke and be on team wear, bringing a ray of sunshine in a sea of neutrals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2041701 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 11:27:45 +0000 anchie 2041701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well - stalking paid off (well, not really stalking, I got email when size was available again) - smaller size pants are here. What do you think? I am still conflicted about the suit. Is it too much yellow? Not sure if I am confident enough to wear it as a suit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2040464 Sat, 06 Jul 2019 07:48:46 +0000 Jane 2040464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning! What a superb choice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2040462 Sat, 06 Jul 2019 06:07:58 +0000 Kate 2040462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous suit. Please keep that jacket! The sweater is a beauty. Stalk the pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2040461 Sat, 06 Jul 2019 06:04:10 +0000 Bijou 2040461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Angie's reaction - I thought she would love this suit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2040433 Sat, 06 Jul 2019 00:32:47 +0000 Echo 2040433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer the new jacket over the old. And the pants don't LOOK too big, but they must feel right, so I would stalk them in a size smaller.</p> <p>Regardless, this is a combo you must have in your life. The sweater is perfect with the outfit and you look amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2040389 Fri, 05 Jul 2019 20:42:12 +0000 Mainelady 2040389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this color is incredible and the suit looks awesome! I would stalk the pants in a size smaller. If they are too big, will you really feel special wearing them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2040388 Fri, 05 Jul 2019 20:39:04 +0000 anchie 2040388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, you have been a great help. I think I am keeping the sweater and returning the pants. Will try to press the blazer and then will decide about it. If smaller size pants shows up again - great. If not, I can still keep the blazer, don’t necessary need a suit, will probably wear it more as separates anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2040376 Fri, 05 Jul 2019 20:06:25 +0000 Jenni NZ 2040376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the whole lot. It looks a-maz-ing. Since this is a special birthday, if it were me I would keep what really made my heart sing without doubt. But FWIW I prefer the new blazer to your Zara one. It looks more modern somehow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2040369 Fri, 05 Jul 2019 18:22:03 +0000 Anonymous 2040369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! The yellow is gorgeous on you. I love #1 and the new blazer best. Maybe stalk the pants for awhile, but these do not look too big in the photo. It would be fun to have the pants to wear everything together if you wanted to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2040365 Fri, 05 Jul 2019 17:37:46 +0000 mtnsofthemoon 2040365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow great color on you!&nbsp; I agree - Love the sweater and the longer blazer - def keep.&nbsp; As for the pants - I would go with Angie's advice.&nbsp; Its a killer look and color on you. You wear it well.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2040358 Fri, 05 Jul 2019 17:24:27 +0000 Angie 2040358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*slightly recovered*</p> <p>KILLER to the POWER of KILLER blazer and top. Stalk the pants in your size.&nbsp;</p> <p>Press the jacket. I believe in KM items. I think it will be fine.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2040357 Fri, 05 Jul 2019 17:23:04 +0000 Angie 2040357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE THIS SO MUCH.&nbsp;</p> <p>WANT.</p> <p>*FAINTED* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2040350 Fri, 05 Jul 2019 16:56:11 +0000 missvee 2040350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the length of the new jacket - it’s more dramatic than the Zara. And it’s fabulous with the new sweater. If you can’t get the correct size in the trousers would you consider keeping just the two pieces?<br /> Re the creasing - what about hanging it in the shower to see if the wrinkles release in the steam? You *could* iron it, but use a press cloth and very light pressure. (You probably know this already : -). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2040333 Fri, 05 Jul 2019 15:09:21 +0000 JAileen 2040333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the new jacket fits better than your old one. The pants don’t look bad. Re wrinkling, I don’t know. Fun color!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2040325 Fri, 05 Jul 2019 14:38:20 +0000 Laura 2040325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning as a suit in #1. LOVE. Curious to hear Angie's thoughts on the pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2040322 Fri, 05 Jul 2019 14:30:57 +0000 Kathie 2040322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater is gorgeous- definitely keep. I like the longer jacket. How do the sleeves fit? As for the pants, I think the drapier/slouchier silhouette is a nice change. I’d be in favor of talking with a tailor, because I think these have the potential for a perfect, unique-to-you fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2040319 Fri, 05 Jul 2019 14:26:10 +0000 taylor 2040319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, gorgeous with the shoes!<br /> This is so stunning , but it really must fit you perfectly from top to bottom!</p> <p>Jacket #1 without a doubt! The pants I would alter, once they pull in the<br /> waist band you will wear them a bit higher and that may solve all the fit problems ....</p> <p>This yellow is seriously gorgeous on you ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2040313 Fri, 05 Jul 2019 14:07:31 +0000 anchie 2040313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea about altering the pants, but would need to talk to the tailor because they are big everywhere, so not sure how easy it will be. I would prefer if the smaller size turns up, but can’t really count on it. And I need to test the fabric some more. Is it ok to iron it if I am not sure if I would keep it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2040312 Fri, 05 Jul 2019 14:07:05 +0000 Eva 2040312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Anchie, you look great in bold colours! I think the sweater is just right and not too bodycon. </p> <p>Like Bijou, I like the new jacket even better than the old one. The creases might be a concern though. I have a pretty high tolerance for creases personally, but I usually wear more casual clothes, and I understand that creases don't really "go" with a suit. Angie recently mentioned a trench that she is planning to retire because of too much creasing, so if the creasing would stop you from wearing the jacket, I vote return. Maybe you could iron it and wear it at home too see how fast and how much it creases again.</p> <p>The pants could probably be tailored to your size, and I think I would cut out the pockets as well, because I can see them through the fabric, and that bothers me more than creases do. But maybe it doesn't bother you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---karen-millen#post-2040310 Fri, 05 Jul 2019 14:01:43 +0000 Column 2040310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in the wow-ed camp! I think the longer blazer is very current and a great update. Sweater awesome, too. Three together with gold pointy-toed shoes are just killing it! I would have pants altered to suit you...but of course, only keep what you know you will wear. </p>
