I ordered it too and hope it looks as good on me! I love the shawl. I think a little less volume will be more flattering but it is still really cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1378373 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 13:27:35 +0000 Jenny H 1378373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also on team vest. I love, love, love it. The other is just too overwhelming on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1378348 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 12:22:09 +0000 Neel 1378348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the vest too! From all angles :)</p> <p>I have similar thoughts as Angie on the poncho. I think grey would have been more fun than black. The black is just too harsh and feels huge! But I like your idea of shorter navy/forest green poncho too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1378346 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 12:06:01 +0000 Deborah 1378346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is gorgeous and I think you should keep:)</p> <p>#2 I adore the poncho in theory but I do think it is overwhelming. To get the best out of it, it's really needs a nice skinny leg and heels, and I know you have said you are wearing lower heels at the moment. I think there will be a better version out their for you;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1378205 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 02:04:55 +0000 Adelfa 1378205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Angie that the poncho is really fun! All that fabric looks intentional, funky, cute, and cheeky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1378196 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 01:47:21 +0000 Missey 1378196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo all before me...love the vest, the poncho is too overwhelming!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1378087 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 23:10:13 +0000 jackiec 1378087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with others, keep the vest, return the cape. Interesting point about black being more overwhelming than grey or a colour. Never thought of that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1378048 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:42:06 +0000 Caro in Oz 1378048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with the others - the vest is fab. Would love to see a shorter, lighter poncho on you too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1378018 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 21:55:40 +0000 rabbit 1378018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As an aside but one trick I've found works well with piling coat sleeves&nbsp;&nbsp;besides shaving is brushing them with a clean pet brush, either the soft-tipped&nbsp;metal or nylon bristles. &nbsp; It returns piling&nbsp;not-wool to looking like wool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1378013 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 21:49:59 +0000 Janet 1378013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOLing at Sveta's "Denise-eater"... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1377981 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 21:19:16 +0000 CocoLion 1377981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great feedback! &nbsp;Thank you for supporting my love of capes and ponchos Angie. I think I'm going to keep looking for a shorter version of the cape, in a different color. &nbsp;Although I agree the gray, which I tried on in store, was less swallow-me-whole, I am going to keep to my resolve to not purchase any more gray items. &nbsp;Last year I went wild on gray, thinking it was a flattering neutral on me. &nbsp;The love affair lasted all season, and I still like my cashmere Vince long cardigan and a pair of gray jeans, but the rest will have to move on and make way for forest green or navy blue items.</p> <p>Sveta and others,&nbsp;this vest is in a Petite size. &nbsp;This is also a PM, a size I wear only about 10% of the time as I'm usually a solid S in regular and Petite sizing. &nbsp;The vest quality is really nice, for those of you on the fence. &nbsp;As for the warmth factor, I think this will work fine as an inside sweater, there is enough sleeve coverage for California winters. &nbsp;If worn outside, I think I would top it off with my shorter navy blue wrap which I got 3+ years ago at Ross and is a little pill-y but acceptable given its $30 price!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1377974 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 21:08:13 +0000 Angie 1377974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is the way to go. Killer gorgeous -&nbsp;<i>and</i> I had the pleasure of seeing it in person too.</p> <p>#5 channels your inner Clint Eastwood. Fun piece. I don't think it's right in black though. Grey or a colour would be better, and less overwhelming.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1377966 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 20:58:01 +0000 crutcher 1377966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried the vest on at the local AT and even though it is really attractive, I left it there because I wasn't sure how I would wear it...Living in a cold climate, I felt that the mid sleeve wasn't practical for a coat or warm enough to go without...<br />JMO... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1377965 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 20:56:30 +0000 Sveta 1377965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 wins hands down. It is a perfect length for you...which means I was lucky not ordering it becuase it would be too short for me anyway :-(</p> <p>#2 is a Denise-eater: it completely swallowed you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1377946 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 20:32:34 +0000 Elle 1377946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the vest on you! Very distinctive. &nbsp; I agree with the others that the poncho is too big for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1377940 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 20:24:00 +0000 unfrumped 1377940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the vest as a styling item, but you'd have to decide if it will get a lot of use. I don't often have a need for a sleeveless, warm long vest because I run cold enough to need long sleeves if I need the vest, and &nbsp;I don't have the kind of casual wear focus where I'd get to wear it over a long sleeved sweater, and Im not sure I'd wear it around the house! So I'd think of it as a fashion accessory (I guess&nbsp;it's a statement item!). If it will go with a lot of sort of basic outfits (the essentials) then it could be quite fun.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1377937 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 20:15:30 +0000 Elizabeth P 1377937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I have the vest on its way to me too! I'm thrilled how it looks on you, my confidence on my crazy order whim is rising. I also feel the poncho is overwhelming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1377936 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 20:13:19 +0000 Suz 1377936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the vest, don't like the poncho! I think the vest might be super versatile and a really interesting piece to play with.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1377931 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 20:10:04 +0000 Tanya 1377931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love the vest, I have it on the order myself.&nbsp; I can imagine you wearing it in lots of ways.&nbsp; I would pass on the cape, it looks overwhelming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1377929 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 20:09:56 +0000 Astrid 1377929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also think the vest is great and prefer it over the cape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1377926 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 19:59:44 +0000 rabbit 1377926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of these two I really like the first one, and preferred it on you in person when you tried it on at the store. &nbsp;I feel like&nbsp;for the second one if going for a big overwhelming poncho -- go big, I want thicker fabric which never creases, more texture, or a lighter color&nbsp;or something. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1377923 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 19:56:54 +0000 CocoLion 1377923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una -- great question. &nbsp;I have a really bulky dark green sweater from last year, from Free People. &nbsp;That's what I'm thinking.</p> <p>So far the vest gets 2 votes, cape gets 0. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1377919 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 19:55:50 +0000 Janet 1377919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the vest thingie! I think the second piece is too overwhelming -- not fab enough for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1377917 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 19:54:06 +0000 catgirl 1377917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What would be going out?</p> <p>I agree with Carole's assessment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1377915 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 19:52:58 +0000 Carole 1377915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the first item in all views!!! I have that on order and hope it looks half as good on me...I like it with the BF's, too. The second item seems too large or overwhelming on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-ann-taylor-items#post-1377913 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 19:48:59 +0000 CocoLion 1377913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried these on at SSIF, then ordered them. &nbsp;I waited weeks to properly try them on as it was still in the high 80s/low 90s and I just.couldn't.do.it.&nbsp; But finally it's cooled down, seemingly overnight by a good 20-25 degrees.</p> <p>My closet is packed, so these need high marks to earn a place (and knock something else out as I'm committed to 1 in, 1 out).</p> <p>1/2/3 -- Vest-type garment, in a dark navy blue. &nbsp;I love the side and back views, not as sure about the front. &nbsp;I do think this will look better with skinny jeans and heels but I am less and less wearing the heels. &nbsp;So picture this with skinny jeans but similar low heeled booties.</p> <p>4/5/6 -- One size shawl/poncho garment. &nbsp;In black. &nbsp;I have a navy shawl already, and am trying to limit the number of gray items this year. &nbsp;However, gray might look better on me. &nbsp;Aside from the color, is this too overwhelming for my frame? </p>
