I do like the color and style of that Orvis vest JAileen linked but not sure how that would fit and the price is nearly double. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and/page/2#post-1362013 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 14:27:21 +0000 JAileen 1362013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you look preppy (duh), but the piece itself is popular with preppy types. As you say, you can have a preppy gone wild dimension to your look. I'm not preppy but I do like some elements that are popular in a preppy look, such as Aran sweaters, turtlenecks, okay that might be it. I was looking at other vests, and found this one. I thought you might like the pocket placement and how it carves out a waist.</p> <p><a href="http://www.orvis.com/p/barbour-women-s-cavalry-gilet/14nc" rel="nofollow">http://www.orvis.com/p/barbour.....gilet/14nc</a></p> <p>I'm trying to attach a picture but my new ipad(!) is giving me trouble. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and/page/2#post-1361950 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 13:06:25 +0000 Neel 1361950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the coated skinnies on you. I like the vest too. But I am a bit on the fence about the color. I think this brown does suit your skin tone ... But I am not sure if it is your best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361943 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 12:52:10 +0000 ironkurtin 1361943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if you think of the vest as the armor in the UWP getup, you can do it. It doesn't say preppy to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361926 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 12:04:40 +0000 krishnidoux 1361926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I know what you mean by inside wear quilted vest, it's the same where I live. And it needs to be bordeline gear-ish, too, otherwise it's too preppy or mature.</p> <p>This one is super cool, and fits you really well, with perfect length on you.&nbsp;Very good color too, because it will layer with lots of other "cool" winter tones, as well as some warm ones. It's like a black-non-black color.&nbsp;I like it sleeveless just as much as I like it with the blouse, the juxtaposition harsh-sporty/soft-romantic is especially appealing. The boho necklace is a very good idea, as it supports the blouse and creates balance with the vest.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't see the problem with the pockets, although a pic without you hands in them would be helpful to better judge if they are indeed too baggy.&nbsp;</p> <p>Have you tried the vest with a simple tee? Because That is how I would tend to wear it on a day-to-day quick dressing way. Also, do try it with a thin-to-medium sweater/cardi to see if there is too much bulk.&nbsp;</p> <p>Please do me a favor and KEEP THE SKINNIES! They look so good on every pic and are full of outifts potential.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361916 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 11:42:10 +0000 viva 1361916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me the vest has a more military feel as opposed to preppy puffer. I like it. And I think the color is pretty cool -- would play well with black and grey.</p> <p>I love the leggings and am kicking myself because I bought my NAS Lysee leggings too big. May have to put them up for grabs - they are awesome but bag out like crazy. I love how these fit you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361906 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 11:29:53 +0000 Anonymous 1361906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear the vest really well. &nbsp;I think it will be a welcome addition to your wardrobe. I am not personally crazy about brown though. &nbsp;I didn't see anything odd about the pocket placement. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361897 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 10:48:49 +0000 Jules 1361897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the leggings look wayyyyy better on you, with scrunching. I do think the vest looks a bit gear. The colour and your styling makes it a bit Mad Max-ish, which works. I guess I'm on the fence as I just don't love the item myself (and have never found quilted vests useful in my cold climate - it's more my extremities that tend to get cold or draughty). You have a lot of really cool pieces and not sure this measures up style-wise. It sounds like you already know you have use for this though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361877 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 08:12:01 +0000 Deborah 1361877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We'll done! Get rid of those sub standard items;). I love both garments. The coated ponte leggings are a no brainer..they look great:). And I think the vest works and you have added edge to it. The colour is really nice on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361870 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 07:27:38 +0000 lyn67 1361870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are great items, IMO. I love the vest, I have their cargo version<b>(but not quilted)</b> in black, khaki and off white and love them dearly esp for debombshelling my work pencils and dresses.&nbsp;Esp love&nbsp;the &nbsp;color and bit of shine of your's, is kind of one will go great with blacks and greys, and&nbsp;I think it will do you&nbsp;a great job, even to the office. The coated leggings looks also great. IMHO much better than of the model:-). Keep them both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361865 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 07:00:55 +0000 catgirl 1361865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does it look too preppy for me here? I'm okay with preppy gone wild - it adds some outfit tension - but if it's just straight up preppy, then I'm not so sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361851 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 06:11:47 +0000 sparlingo 1361851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both and I now want that vest :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361838 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 05:26:07 +0000 JAileen 1361838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure it looks dated, but it does look preppy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361829 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 04:38:51 +0000 catgirl 1361829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't try the olive but it's not a great color for me generally.&nbsp; </p> <p>Elly's comment is making me wonder, too.&nbsp; This is in fact a liner for a Barbour coat as well as a stand-alone item (no zippers or buttons hanging out).&nbsp; I think of Barbour as Burberry-ish but does this look dated somehow?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361827 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 04:34:15 +0000 JAileen 1361827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fit. I'm not sure about the color. Did you try the olive? That may just be my own personal preference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361826 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 04:17:40 +0000 Beth Ann 1361826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way you've created a sleek, true "style" from a wardrobe item that is usually only suitable for dull "gear."&nbsp; Awesome.&nbsp; I can't imagine calves too scrawny for leggings!&nbsp; I love the look of these on you.&nbsp; Will the zippers allow you to wear them tucked into boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361825 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 04:12:21 +0000 Elly 1361825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the leggings, not the vest-- I just don't care for it. It looks like a mens coat liner from the 80s on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361804 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 03:25:12 +0000 Diana 1361804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both. I don't think I'd even notice the pockets on the vest if your hands weren't in them. &nbsp;They look like they blend in really well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361798 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 03:16:09 +0000 catgirl 1361798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not for waterproof, it's for a layer of warmth while hiking and stuff. Although would be a wear around town thing too. For rain, a raincoat is needed but we are almost to snow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361797 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 03:14:19 +0000 ironkurtin 1361797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like each piece but I personally would pair the vest with more tailored, less drapery under layers for more of a trim corset-like look. I'm curious, does it make sense to have a waterproof vest as opposed to a whole jacket? It's been so long since I needed layers, I honestly don't remember anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361788 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 03:07:46 +0000 shedev 1361788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both the vest and leggings. I have to do a return to the Rack so I'm going to stop by Nordies to check them out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361778 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 03:02:05 +0000 Anonymous 1361778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep both. Seriously. One will never regret anything Barbour. ( I have a waxed jacket I cannot wait to bust out for fall) . Those leggings are perfect - love all these muted weird colours on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361772 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 02:57:58 +0000 Jaime 1361772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am feeling a bit dense but don't see the problem with the pocket placement and think this is an excellent brown on you. Keep! I actually love it in #2. The leggings look like skinnies and also look good if you need that sort of thing - and I imagine you do with the amount of boots you must wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361770 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 02:53:56 +0000 annagybe 1361770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is my favorite. I really like this on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361766 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 02:52:21 +0000 kellygirl 1361766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The vest looks bronzey brown and the slight sheen makes it look rich compared to a matte brown. I didn't even notice the pockets--I was looking at how the vest makes you look like you have a waist! Love the neckline too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361738 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 02:17:24 +0000 catgirl 1361738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KL, did you mean the pockets on the vest?&nbsp; Sewing them shut will not help as they are flat patch pockets.&nbsp; They don't actually add bulk but I'm wondering if they look bulky (like chest pockets can).&nbsp; Would be nice if they were angled... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361735 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 02:15:21 +0000 Kristin L 1361735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep the leggings. They look great on you! I don't think the pocket placement is bad on the leggings, but I can see how it might be a little awkward. The color works for you, but if you're unsure of the pockets, maybe it sould go back. Or, would you be willing to sew the pockets shut? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361732 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 02:12:26 +0000 catgirl 1361732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Staysfit, that is probably true.&nbsp; The other options were black, navy, and olive.&nbsp; I think the navy felt too conservative for me, and black I don't need more of, and the olive looked too mid-toned.&nbsp; It's hard to find bright quilted vests without a big collar or puffiness! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-home-alone-edition-with-barbour-vest-and#post-1361728 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 02:10:20 +0000 Staysfit 1361728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the leggings! They look great. I think the vest is fine. It will serve its purpose. The color is ok, but I have looked at a number of your posts and IMO you look more vibrant in other colors. The outfits you put together are great and I think they work well. </p>
