Can't wait to see it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket/page/2#post-722980 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 23:57:00 +0000 Jjsloane 722980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So late here, but I would have voted return because of the length. It's not Raefabulous unless it can grow 3-4 inches in length. To my eye it is not the style of jacket I think works well in shrunken. I'd put it in the category with sleeveless raincoats (really - your arms won't get wet?), toeless boots - (what do you do about cold toes?), and any outerwear that does not cover the basic necessities. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket/page/2#post-722888 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 22:01:04 +0000 rae 722888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hrm, good point - the important thing is the fit and style, not the name! I'll try to call upon ol' Vince this week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket/page/2#post-722833 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 18:55:11 +0000 Angie 722833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, you should arrange a date with Vince Camuto. Why not! He could fit better than the Burberry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket/page/2#post-722804 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 18:28:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 722804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae - I agree with those that mentioned it looks off proportion wise - but I do want to say I love that colour on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-722797 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 18:19:57 +0000 rae 722797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone. If I am honest with myself, I should have known it didn't work when it didn't look good with my bootcuts, which are a staple for me. :T Denial is not just a river in Egypt. </p> <p>Angie, #3 is by Vince Camuto. But now I wonder if I should just wait until I can get a deal on the real thing? I have many jackets I can enjoy in the mean time, and since it's a classic look I don't *need* to get the look asap...</p> <p>Una, that Burberry is SO cool - and convertible! You know I love me convertible items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-722669 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 16:49:45 +0000 catgirl 722669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, here is the ULTIMATE in perfection in a remotely affordable price range: </p> <p><a href="http://us.burberry.com/store/womenswear/quilts-puffers/brit/prod-38447951-zip-waist-quilted-pea-coat/" rel="nofollow">http://us.burberry.com/store/w.....-pea-coat/</a></p> <p>I'm about to keel over from lust.</p> <p>I can't even look at the London and Prorsum lines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-722668 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 16:49:29 +0000 Isabel 722668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG....don't even show me that quilted, checked, Burberry .....</p> <p>I really like the jacket you got, but agree that it doesn't fit well, for some reason. : ( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-722665 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 16:45:35 +0000 catgirl 722665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, now that Angie's pointed that out, I'm going to admit my "opposite of poison eye" here and say I can see it too. I was dumbstruck by the Burberry association. I too am holding out for a real one... sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-722572 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 15:25:43 +0000 Angie 722572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting the extra outfits, Rae. The proportions are better in #2 for sure. Still not fabulous zipped up though - to my eye that is. </p> <p>Is the last photo a Burberry? I like #3 a lot more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-722539 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 14:12:41 +0000 rae 722539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can't be nuts, LadyBirdK; Angie agrees with you! You know... the burberry jackets like this are like 2-3 times more expensive on ebay. Maybe if I'm a good girl and save pennies for 2-3 more years I can get the real thing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-722351 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 01:33:43 +0000 LadyBirdK 722351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi there, Rae!<br /> Oooh! I know just how you feel about the Burberry jackets. I have been coveting one for YEARS. If we ever become fabulously wealthy, that'll so be my "I've arrived" piece. I can totally see how this would tempt you - it does have a little bit if that, what did you call it? "quilted-jacket-o-luxury" about it, doesn't it?<br /> I do like the colour on you, and the jacket looks really cute while open, but somehow not as great when closed to my eye...I am not sure why. Maybe the way that the piping angles down? I could just be nuts... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-722288 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 23:44:30 +0000 rae 722288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So here is the jacket styled with flats (incidentally, these are the Frye Melissas I found for $20). I do like it better but, as they say on Icanhascheezburger, what has been seen cannot be unseen. Also, since this jacket is almost as much as I paid for my steampunk leather jacket earlier this year, it should be perfect enough to wear with heels or flats. I think it's going back, much as it breaks my heart... </p> <p>I should try to match this color as near as possible when I dye my tan leather jacket, though. :)</p> <p>I might give this one in #3 a whirl, too, since they have one at the mall close to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-722287 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 23:38:55 +0000 Keix 722287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not loving the proportions in #3, but it looks fine to me in #1 and #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-722281 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 23:16:30 +0000 rae 722281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, that makes sense. It is always a tightrope walk between lengthening the torso vs. lengthening the legs for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-722265 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 22:49:39 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 722265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Angie, it looks too short/disproportionate on you IMO. The color and the style are super-cute though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-722264 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 22:48:29 +0000 Angie 722264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I'm surprised! I never thought you were short waisted :)</p> <p>Case in point. This jacket does exactly the opposite of what you usually do with your outfits - which is lengthen your torso. That's why I find the proportion a bit off. Make sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-722256 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 22:43:50 +0000 rae 722256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, yes, I'm horribly short waisted. When I do Imogen's test, I can't even fit a whole hand between my bust and navel. It is why I never wear wide waist belts or high waisted jeans. It makes me happy that I've camouflaged it well enough that you didn't notice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-722246 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 22:36:10 +0000 Angie 722246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really, Rae? That would make you very short waisted - which I have never noticed before. Are you short waisted? I'm looking forward to the further experimentation </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-722244 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 22:32:49 +0000 rae 722244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, interesting... that is actually where my waist is. I wonder if it looks better with flats, which is how I'd tried it on in the store. I will give this thought and play around with the proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-721904 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 14:43:44 +0000 lynn 721904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to agree with Angie...it looks too small or something. Keep looking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-721901 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 14:38:42 +0000 Angie 721901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry to be a spanner, Rae :(</p> <p>I'm not 100% sold on this jacket. The extra high waistband is off to my eye - especially in #3. It looks like a kids jacket. The Burberry proportions look a billion times better. I know that's not what you wanted to hear :(</p> <p>But I'm the only one who feels this way, so if you love it - you should keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-721872 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 13:54:35 +0000 Laura 721872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I saw this in store the other day and it is great in person ... although I didn't try it on. But it's darned cute on you, Rae. I vote "keep."</p> <p>Question. Is there any way to wear this as an inside jacket in the winter? I have the feeling you live somewhere with a warmish climate, so that might not work for you, but maybe for others! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-721812 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 06:38:40 +0000 Brain of Jen 721812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, definitely a keeper! Admittedly, I don't know what SYC means, but that jacket just looks to great on you to return </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-721808 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 06:25:16 +0000 CocoLion 721808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Deb said! I love the way it looks with the striped midi skirt/dress. It's like a more elegant version of the coats Angie blogged about the other day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-721798 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 05:05:47 +0000 catgirl 721798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Argh! IT'S SO Burberry I can't stand it! KEEP IT! I want one too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-721772 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 03:47:14 +0000 deb 721772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, everything I see on you is wonderful. I think you wear chothes well and you are so very cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-721750 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 03:10:38 +0000 rae 721750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laughing at Shiny and Suz... maybe that is a side business for me: renting out my clothes!</p> <p>Thistle, it is actually a pretty lightweight jacket, which is good for me. I get the "look" without boiling in real down quilting. </p> <p>Here are my most recent inspirations:<br /> Barbour<br /> <a href="http://www.barbour.com/womens-clothing/jackets-coats/quilted/heritage-womens/vintage-polarquilt-jacket" rel="nofollow">http://www.barbour.com/womens-.....ilt-jacket</a></p> <p>Burberry<br /> <a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/burberry-brit-cranlark-quited-coat?ID=622266&#038;cm_mmc=Froogle-_-n-_-n-_-n" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....-n-_-n-_-n</a></p> <p>Burberry<br /> <a href="http://us.burberry.com/store/womenswear/quilts-puffers/london/prod-38271751-check-multi-quilt-jacket/" rel="nofollow">http://us.burberry.com/store/w.....lt-jacket/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anthro-jacket#post-721712 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 02:16:59 +0000 Thistle 721712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cute! Can you link to your inspiration?</p> <p>Is the climate where you are one where you will need such a coat?

It seems to fit your vibe and your wardrobe tremendously too. Love it Rae. </p>
