It comes in a XXXS, but it sounds like Danier jackets run really big, so it may not fit any more closely than the Express. I don't think they have free returns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-express-sweater-and-moto-jacket#post-511041 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 00:41:31 +0000 rae 511041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Claire said! The color is lovely, and it doesn't look *overly* boxy. Though if you want it more fitted, maybe the version that Claire has, with the racer collar, fits more snugly? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-express-sweater-and-moto-jacket#post-510947 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:18:23 +0000 nicoleb 510947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. I think this look great!</p> <p>2. HOLD UP. That jacket was on sale for $36?!?! That is amazing! Awesome score as their jackets are normally close to $100 like that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-express-sweater-and-moto-jacket#post-510930 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 22:53:29 +0000 Meredith1953 510930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the all and both jackets are awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-express-sweater-and-moto-jacket#post-510922 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 22:47:03 +0000 CocoLion 510922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the way the jacket and sweater go together so well. I vote keep if they go with a lot of things in your wardrobe (trying to prevent wardrobe orphanage). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-express-sweater-and-moto-jacket#post-510852 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 21:15:44 +0000 Ginny 510852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it all, the dolman looks great with the boots and the color of the dress in #3 is great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-express-sweater-and-moto-jacket#post-510850 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 21:13:28 +0000 Anonymous 510850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Stephanie. I tried that jacket on too! For $36, I think that looks pretty darn good. I have not seen that taupe color anywhere else in real leather, so if it's the color you are looking for, it would be a fun buy, even if it doesn't last forever. The dolman top looks nice, as long as it *feels* good on. I love your WIW with the cognac jacket and blue dress. Niiiiiiice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-express-sweater-and-moto-jacket#post-510805 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 19:49:37 +0000 Stephanie 510805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone, for your opinions </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-express-sweater-and-moto-jacket#post-510736 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 17:45:40 +0000 Jewell 510736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it all! and that is an awesome price for that jacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-express-sweater-and-moto-jacket#post-510730 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 17:41:11 +0000 Makrame 510730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both items look good. The color of the jacket is nice and different from what you have. I tried Claire's jacket on in store, and while the fit did not work for me, the feel and quality seemed good.</p> <p>I am a big fan of of dolman-sleeved tops. I think it looks good in the picture but perhaps at the chocolate-brown camp or even a brown or beige tank would be better.</p> <p>Great boots, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-express-sweater-and-moto-jacket#post-510714 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 17:21:14 +0000 kellygirl 510714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dolman on you. I also like the jacket for outerwear--looks like you will be able to layer beneath it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-express-sweater-and-moto-jacket#post-510696 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 17:07:43 +0000 Jem 510696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the sweater and think it fits you really well. I like the jacket, too, but I can see what you mean about it not being too fitted. I know that Claire really likes the faux leather jacket she got from Express, so I think that parts OK, it's just if you feel comfortable with the size of it. It looks good, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-express-sweater-and-moto-jacket#post-510694 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 17:04:59 +0000 Angie 510694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It all looks great to me, Stephanie! Enjoy your new loot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-express-sweater-and-moto-jacket#post-510693 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 17:02:31 +0000 Stephanie 510693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not normally an Express shopper, but I spied through the window of my neighborhood store a jacket that looked like the cousin of Claire's, underneath a big sale sign. Next thing I knew, I was trying on half of the store.</p> <p>I brought these two items home. What do you think?</p> <p>(1) merino blend dolman sweater in weird mushroomy color that I somehow like. This picture has me wearing a tank top underneath, because the weave is sort of open. I didn't love the way it felt--sort of bulky--and I thought maybe I could get away with just wearing nude-colored underthings, but when I took a picture with a flash, I saw more of myself than I wanted anyone else to have to see. So I would be looking for a better cami-type solution. Do you think chocolate brown would be okay? I have a very fitted one in that color.</p> <p>(2) taupe moto jacket. I have a butterscotch-colored leather moto jacket that has been a real workhorse for me--see last photo for comparison--so I like the idea of adding another fitted leather jacket in a cooler tone. This one might be a bit boxier than I would ideally like (because I want to wear it more as a blazer than as outerwear), but there is no sizing down (this is an XS). And it's not real leather. I've never bought faux leather before. I thought this one looked okay, but I'm maybe not a good judge. The sale price was fantastic--I got it for $36!--but part of me thinks I should just return it and buy a taupe leather jacket proper, since I feel confident I would wear it a lot. I did not find one I loved on google shopping at any price range, though. There was a cute one from My Tribe but the color was much darker (more like the boots I'm wearing).</p> <p>Thanks for your help.</p> <p>ETA: sorry, pics #1 and 2 uploaded in the opposite order. Also, pic #3 was a WIW that I somehow never got around to posting. </p>
