I like the length and the cut on both. Very flattering. How do they look open? I think they will both be excellent additions to your wardrobe. Your little one is beautiful:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820621 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 22:45:18 +0000 Thistle 820621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I got my cashmere sweater from Ann Taylor. First time i have ever found non-itchy cashmere!</p> <p>That is another good store for the curvy gal. Not all sizes are sold in the store, but you can get more online. And, the store will take them all as returns, even if it is not a size they normally sell! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820599 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 22:25:56 +0000 biscuitsmom 820599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the green one! Like the black too.... I think that shop and ATL (where you got your AMAZING cashmere sweater?) are definitely go-to shops for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820555 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 21:55:06 +0000 Beth Ann 820555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE these jackets! I love the color of the green, and the lower stance and longer proportions of the black. Talbots is working for you -- and I think Boden would be an interested place to check out, too.</p> <p>BTW --- dd is adorable, and clearly loves her Mama! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820491 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 21:15:30 +0000 Thistle 820491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so right, K can shop! I really feel like Talbots was designed more for the hour glass figure or even the pear. Much less slim rectangle, which is what BR and JCrew seem to cater to.</p> <p>Now I need to check out Boden. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820488 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 21:13:15 +0000 K. Period. 820488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, I wouldn't say that Talbots isn't popular! Several of my friends shop there almost exclusively and they look great. And the things you've purchased look phenomenal on you!!! Very fashionable and well fitted, and that's the goal, right? </p> <p> I haven't shopped at Talbots much for two reasons, really. First, they were always "grown up" clothing to me and it took me some time to move out of being a young dresser and into dressing more professionally. In other words, it took me time to move into their target audience. Second, their fits aren't that well suited for my body shape. Nothing positive or negative about that. It's just how it is. I don't have a pronounced waist. Their cuts are too tight on the waist for me or too loose on the hips, even their straight cuts. I fit Banana Republic's and JCrew's fit model better than Talbots. I'm sure there are lots of folks who don't shop at BR or JCrew because their stuff doesn't work on them. Boden is the same. It looks phenomenal on some of my friends and lots of folks around here wear it, but on me? Almost always a disaster. That doesn't say anything negative about BR or JCrew or Boden. They just aren't the right ones for me. I bet that there are lots of gals on the forum who own great Talbots pieces. You certainly do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820387 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 19:35:11 +0000 Vicki 820387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember having pigtails like your DD and I think her Daddy did a great job. I like both jackets on you and, yes, go for the price adjustment. I did the same thing at GAP not too long ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820359 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 19:11:23 +0000 Day Vies 820359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I recognized the green jacket -- I don't have it but I have admired it from afar. I think they both fit great and are very flattering! Keep them both. Definitely see if you can get a price adjustment -- most retailers want to keep customers happy. </p> <p>DD is too cute ( a wonderful pop of color and complement to your outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820301 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 18:29:56 +0000 catgirl 820301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, the blazer is fantastic! This is a fit you need to seek out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820295 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 18:26:37 +0000 Emily 820295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great fit &gt; "cool" store, every time! Double bonus points for consistent sizing. I'd love to see the green jacket with denim, btw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820276 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 18:16:02 +0000 Raisin 820276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both. The black is so classic and versatile, and e green blue one is a great color. Adorable daughter you have there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820272 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 18:14:38 +0000 Thistle 820272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know Talbots is not too popular, but I have found that their clothes fit me very well. The quality is quite nice too. I buy a lot of basics from them, and I have only had one issue I can think of, and it was on a tank. So honestly, wasn't worth messing with. </p> <p>A quality pair of washable black dress pants? In my size? And my size fits every time, just a question of do I like it? Yup, that is why I shop there </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820265 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 18:09:31 +0000 Glory 820265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry Thistle I cannot concentrate with that sweet little girl and her pigtails! what fun she must be!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820231 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 17:46:10 +0000 K. Period. 820231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah! I'm voting yes on both too! These look very nice on you, Thistle. They fit and flatter. Definitely see if they will do a price adjustment. Especially if they still have them in stock in your size, it makes sense to give you a price adjustment. Otherwise, you could just confirm that you can "return" the originals, then reorder at the lower sale price, keep whichever ones of the two versions fit you best and return the other. With that in mind, they should be happy to give you the adjustment. I would also emphasize that you are a great customer for them. I'd never looked twice at Talbots, but you look so fantastic in these that it has definitely opened my eyes! So see? They are reaching new customers because of you. :)</p> <p>And OMGosh! Your daughter is adorable!!! Mine refuses to let me put her hair in ponytails or even put a barrette in, so I'm more than a little in awe of your super cutie with her ponytails! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820190 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 17:06:28 +0000 Susie 820190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh your daughter is so precious! I absolutely love her hair. Do you think I would look cute with my hair like that?!</p> <p>I think both fit you and look very nice on you. I say keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820111 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:58:38 +0000 Sarah A 820111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL! Dont i know it! Found a piece of rice from last nights dinner stuck in her hair this AM... after a bath? How is that possible? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820107 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:53:41 +0000 Thistle 820107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Myy DD is 14 months. She "puts up" with getting her hair done, but we like it as it keeps it out of her eyes. Also, harder to smoosh food into! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820104 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:52:01 +0000 Sarah A 820104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like how both of these fit your shoulder and define your waist better than the red one in your other post. Your DD is adorable! How old? Mine just turned 2 and loves her hair that way </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820092 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:44:06 +0000 Angie 820092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Thistle! By all means call Customer Service and ask for a price adjustment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820088 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:42:11 +0000 Suz 820088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific, Thistle. I love you in the green. And your daughter is so precious!! Love those pigtails. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820070 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:32:22 +0000 Thistle 820070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got them both at Talbots, and *sigh* they are both MUCH cheaper than when I bought them. I wonder if they will do a price adjustment:</p> <p><a href="http://www.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?id=prdi29754&#038;rootCategory=cat90030&#038;catId=cat80008&#038;sortKey=Default&#038;section=Sale&#038;conceptIdUnderSale=cat90030" rel="nofollow">http://www.talbots.com/online/.....e=cat90030</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?id=prdi29730&#038;rootCategory=cat90030&#038;catId=cat80008&#038;sortKey=Default&#038;section=Sale&#038;conceptIdUnderSale=cat90030" rel="nofollow">http://www.talbots.com/online/.....e=cat90030</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820066 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:29:11 +0000 Angie 820066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My thumbs are up for both jackets!!!

I can't see the detail of the black one too well but the green colour is great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820044 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:14:36 +0000 Jules 820044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a good judge of jacket fit, but I hear ya on not criticizing an involved Dad - it's a good lesson to learn. Also, learn to love pattern mixing! It is my DDs' (3 and 7) favourite fashion statement. Multicoloured striped tights, purple small houndstooth skirt, and flowered top was a recent outfit the 3 yo chose </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-820024 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:00:41 +0000 Emily 820024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your daughter is adorable!</p> <p>I like both jackets on you, they look perfect fit-wise. How are they open? As I recall you were looking for something you could wear open or closed... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-819997 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 14:37:03 +0000 Phoebe 819997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the cutest little princess - I can´t focus on the clothes any more...;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---tux-jacket-and-a-blazer#post-819989 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 14:26:51 +0000 Thistle 819989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A couple of jackets I am trying to decide on (and as long as I was wearing a sorta jacket outfit, I thought I would pop them on!)</p> <p>#1. Glen Green Jacket with black at the collar<br /> #2 Tuxedo Jacket - you can't see the rhinestne buttons in the pics. They close the front and are on the sleeves.</p> <p>DD would not stay out of the pictures this morning, so I included her! She is pattern mixing with the socks. Yes, daddy dressed her this morning, and I have learned not to question what he puts her in if I want him to keep helping! </p>
