This is definitely a keeper. I agree with Angie (not that her vote needs a second) about tapering the trousers. They look great as is, but I think they'll look even more modern when wonder woman has her way with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-fur-vest-32-and-lord-taylor-pants#post-728603 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 01:54:17 +0000 catgirl 728603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have the best shopping mojo.

Keep the pants, would you wear them with flats? If not you could taper &amp; let them down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-fur-vest-32-and-lord-taylor-pants#post-728443 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 23:01:55 +0000 jen 728443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-fur-vest-32-and-lord-taylor-pants#post-728384 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 22:12:21 +0000 Transcona Shannon 728384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone - tags are off all of it!</p> <p>Angie - I will take the trousers to Wonder Woman. There's a good inch that can be let down on the hem and I'll get her to taper them at the hem/ankle as well. This will almost make them a slouchy trouser - which I'm thrilled about! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-fur-vest-32-and-lord-taylor-pants#post-728375 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 22:02:42 +0000 Krista 728375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! This vest is awesome and much much better than the other one! I like the pants too - I agree with Angie on the tapering and scrunching. Great finds, Shannon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-fur-vest-32-and-lord-taylor-pants#post-728372 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 21:59:22 +0000 Deborah 728372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon the vest is great! This one looks more luxurious and sophisticated. To my eye this is a more grown up look. The pants look perfect. Really nice leg line. I also like scrunch on mine so if there is a hem to let down that would be great. Blouse...gorgeous! It has that lovely retro vibe that suits you so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-fur-vest-32-and-lord-taylor-pants#post-728341 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 21:17:47 +0000 Angie 728341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooooh! You know I have a soft spot for hem scrunch and slouch on trousers. I vote take them down and maybe taper them at the hems as well. They won't slouch at the hems unless they are tapered sufficiently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-fur-vest-32-and-lord-taylor-pants#post-728302 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 20:12:27 +0000 K. Period. 728302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I knew it! See! There is a fur vest out there and yours found you! You look fantastic, Shannon. I'm so happy to see this. Love the blouse and the trousers look fantastic too. I think that since the trousers are tapered and they already have a bit of a slouch at the bottom, they are perfect lengthwise. Tapered trousers always sit a little higher than looser trousers. If Angie didn't pick up on a length issue and voted them killer, I think you are ready to go as is. Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-fur-vest-32-and-lord-taylor-pants#post-728297 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 20:08:26 +0000 Transcona Shannon 728297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Squeeee!!!! </p> <p>Angie - do you think I should alter the length of the trousers at all or just leave them be? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-fur-vest-32-and-lord-taylor-pants#post-728292 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 20:03:40 +0000 Thistle 728292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful vest! I say keep!</p> <p>The pants look good at well, and I would keep them the length they are. Perfect for flats. If you wear a lot of heels, maybe then consider altering them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-fur-vest-32-and-lord-taylor-pants#post-728290 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 20:00:15 +0000 Susie 728290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you must keep that vest!

Wow! It looks great.</p> <p>The pants look good to me too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-fur-vest-32-and-lord-taylor-pants#post-728268 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 19:19:32 +0000 Transcona Shannon 728268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...ok, but let me explain...after yesterday's disaster with the "gorilla" vest, I really thought the fur vest trend was NOT for me. i went off to my local Gap and returned the furry beasts and had to walk back to my car through The Bay. I saw this Jeanne Bekker fur vest on the first rack into The Bay and literally gasped out loud. It's sleek, has some sheen, is a very dark espresso brown, is elegant, fits very well and best of all - I don't think I resemble a single zoo animal! The SA said it looked fantastic on me, which I took with a grain of salt but then another female shopper wearing the most stunning navy sweater dress said "if you don't buy that vest right away, you're crazy". So it came home with me.</p> <p>Here are two quick stylings representative of a couple of ways I would wear the vest - with skinnies and boots, and over dresses. This is not an inexpensive item so want to be sure. BTW - it got the thumbs up for the entire family. Hubby in particular said it looked fab.</p> <p>The trousers are Lord &amp; Taylor simple black knit blend. There are no front or side pockets and they zip up the side. There are two back welt pockets. I love the simple clean look of these and how they actually sit fairly low on me. They are incredibly comfortable. I know black doesn't photograph well but I hope you can get an idea of fit. To me the fit is pretty much perfect. I know they aren't quite cigarette trousers but I do like them. My question is regarding the length - they are actually a shorter length trouser, as seems to be the trend in many brands. If I keep them, do I leave the length as is or do I take down the inch hem allowance and make them a wee bit longer? and is the width of the leg ok? should I have Wonder Woman taper the trousers a bit more to make them a true cigarette trouser?</p> <p>Ok - up to you ladies: keep or return on the vest and the trousers?</p> <p>BTW the blouse is a fab silk blouse I picked up at Banana Republic for next to a song. It feels divine against the skin, is a petite and a lovely cream colour with little gold keys on it. </p>
