I can't wait to see a few other styling ideas.&nbsp;<br /><br />My gut feeling about this jacket is that it can and&nbsp;will work for you. And as I said, I am sorely tempted myself. You are right about being spoiled with the sleeves of our other jacket; I find I like that snug fit and maybe it is why those jackets feel so great.&nbsp;<br /><br />I also think it would be madness to go for another size. This one will certainly relax, and you are shrinking.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket/page/2#post-899751 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 16:25:09 +0000 Vildy 899751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm so glad it looks like you'll be keeping it.&nbsp; Angie to the rescue. :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket/page/2#post-899745 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 16:17:53 +0000 Sylvie 899745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ok, I figured out why I was ambivalent about this. I like the fit on you.&nbsp; I'm unsure of the color because (to me) it is a difficult color to work with.&nbsp; However, you are an outfit styling queen, so if you can make it work with five outfits, you should keep it.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket/page/2#post-899722 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 15:44:08 +0000 Mona 899722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I didn't see this thread yesterday, Shannon. This is exactly the same jacket I tried on in mint green. The colours and fabric are just so beautiful in these jackets. I must say that it fits you a 100 times better than it fitted me.<br />I am not sure if this is "The One" for you though. i have seen you in far more flattering jackets than this one. If your budget allows, I'd say keep it for sure. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket/page/2#post-899721 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 15:42:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 899721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie - I cannot thank you enough for chiming in when I know you have such an incredibly busy client day. I truly appreciate your keen eye and constructive review.<br /><br />I will play with it this weekend and even try and post some pics to get further feedback. I think as long as the color works with my wardrobe, I will keep it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket/page/2#post-899716 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 15:34:24 +0000 Angie 899716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Once the sleeves are altered, and you don't wear it buttoned up, it's KILLER stunning beautiful, Shannon! VERY now and for the next few seasons at least. LOVE it. <br /><br /><b><u><i>Warning: </i></u></b>Play around in your closet with the colour first. I like this shade of blue best with white, or black &amp; white, yellow and grey, and denim. I'm not as fond of it with just black. <br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket/page/2#post-899598 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:40:52 +0000 Inge 899598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh absolutely, Shannon!! Having a few different jackets with different silhouettes gives you so much more styling options, so I vote yes on that. And you're right, not every jacket needs to be formfitting and waist defining. And, as I said before, I think this style is great on you as well.<br /><br />I can't believe you snapped up that clutch for $39.99! Have fun with it:-) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket/page/2#post-899594 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:37:54 +0000 Tanya 899594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the color on you Shannon, and really like the neckline as well. &nbsp;I think it is really flattering and would totally go for it if the sleeves can be altered. &nbsp;Fab clutch too! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket/page/2#post-899582 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:32:35 +0000 Transcona Shannon 899582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ For anyone who is interested, the clutch was actually in the clearance bin right by the cashier - only $39.99! It's on the small side and won't hold my wallet, but it has these neat little dividers so you can still carry your essential cards, cash, cell phone, keys, lipstick. All I need really. And bonus is that hubby thought it was gorgeous.<br /><br />The jacket discussion is so interesting to me - always something to learn.&nbsp;<br /><br />Suz - I think we've been spoiled with "our" jacket in that the knit portion of the sleeves makes them very form fitting and we've become used to that look. The sleeves on this jacket are definitely looser but they are also more comfortable if layering a long sleeved top underneath. That being said, I'm sure they could be taken in some when being shortened if I were to pursue that.&nbsp;<br /><br />I would definitely NOT be wearing the jacket done up - I know it is too small that way at this point. But so was my black jacket when I bought it. This does not concern me and isn't a deal breaker. The size up was huge in my shoulders and upper back so sizing up is not an option.<br /><br />The style of the jacket is definitely more loose and "easy" fitting than my black one. I'm not sure that every jacket needs to give complete waist definition and be form fitting. Can having a couple of different silhouettes for different looks and moods be ok?<br /><br />I'm not being defensive at all - please don't misunderstand - I'm just musing out loud and having a discussion with myself really.<br /><br />Keep it coming ladies - it's all making me think. I'm going to play with it in my closet this weekend (with tags attached) with other items in my closet and see how it works. I think this will give me a better idea as to versatility.<br /><br />The only downside is if I decide to keep it, taking it for alterations will mean the jacket is out of commission for 3-4 weeks and by then, it could be too warm to wear it! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket/page/2#post-899523 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:24:12 +0000 Vivi 899523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think once the sleeves are altered, it will be a perfect&nbsp;fit. The&nbsp;leather will relax over time. &nbsp;I love the color and the design.<br /><br />Whenever I have doubts over a purchase,&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll usually wait a few days and&nbsp;try it on again with some other clothing. The&nbsp;initial euphoria of the new purchase is gone and I can analyze it more objectively. Good luck!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket#post-899515 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:09:41 +0000 Inge 899515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm a big yay, Shannon! The fit looks good, I love the style on you,&nbsp;and like Julie, I also really love how fresh this longer length looks over dresses too. This shade of blue is super flattering on you, I love the entire outfit you put together here (love the jacket with this tee, the colours are gorgeous together). It's a shade that will play very nicely with the rest of your wardrobe, &nbsp;plus there was lots of light blue on the runway for S/S 2013 also. It's also going to look gorgeous with greys, ink blue, navy, white, cream, brown...<br /><br />And look at that fab new clutch, another great score!-)<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket#post-899491 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:39:42 +0000 Glory 899491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shannon this is a terrific jacket for you. The style is new and different, the colour out of this world. And, the quality is there.&nbsp;I think you can definately make it work with so many things. What I also really like is that you can wear this into fall. The leather will relax and mold to you and it will be complete perfection.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket#post-899490 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:39:30 +0000 Carla 899490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Absolutely love the colour, but there is something about the fit that makes me give it a 'thumbs down'. I'm not seeing the figure flattery I've seen with most of your other outfits. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket#post-899481 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:28:34 +0000 lyn67 899481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes-that is your spring leather jacket! (if worn open!) <br />Color is spectacular and the fit when open also very good! <br />Do you need to wear it close? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket#post-899422 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 07:27:22 +0000 Ingunn 899422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I. want. that. clutch. It is PERFECT.<br />The jacket: I love it on you! The color is between pastel and midtone, isn't it? I definitely think it suits you. I also think it could transition well into fall. Isn't Angie predicting a lot of light blue for fall? It would look lovely with browns, I think.&nbsp;The jacket has a great neckline, and I think it will stretch out a little, so the fit will improve with wear.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket#post-899421 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 07:19:16 +0000 RoseandJoan 899421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I must be smoking a different pipe because I LOVE this, espeically with the dress. The longer length of the jacket looks really fresh to my eye and whilst the color screams spring/ summer I know it would transition well into fall if mixed with earth shades and greys.<br /><br />I'm a keep!<br /><br />p.s. the clutch is totes amazeballs. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket#post-899417 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 06:38:16 +0000 CocoLion 899417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it on you! &nbsp;I assume the sleeves can be altered? &nbsp;No zippers in the way? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket#post-899412 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 06:33:20 +0000 Deborah 899412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shannon the clutch is a stunner. &nbsp;Of course you don't need to ask if it's a keeper, there is no question that it is:)<br /><br />I want to like the jacket:) &nbsp;Colour is very lovely. &nbsp;However, I am not finding the neckline that flattering, nor the fit. &nbsp;I am finding it hard to nail down exactly what it is that isn't working for me but it doesn't say "Shannon" to me. &nbsp;You know as I type, I think it is lacking some figure definition, it just looks too shapeless to me. I am sorry I don't want to be a wet blanket, particularly as you say it's rating high on the happiness scale. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket#post-899349 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 03:21:32 +0000 Suz 899349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It would be double the fun, Shannon!!&nbsp;<br /><br />Okay, first of all, that clutch is going to find its way to my shopping cart, too. I haven't seen that baby on the web site!&nbsp;<br /><br />Second, what is with all these Danier posts? In the last 3 months I have bought 2 leather jackets (and I never owned a single one before) yet I find myself tempted to buy another at almost every turn!!&nbsp;<br /><br />Third, I adore this colour on you. And Shevia is right - light blue is really trending.&nbsp;<br /><br />Four, I'm not 100% convinced of the fit on this, but I also know they relax, wear in, and become only better with time. I also agree that these Blink jackets may be cut a bit differently from the others.&nbsp;<br /><br />I think it's really hard to tell because the bunchiness/ length of the sleeves is throwing us off a bit. Even like this they seem too long or too big or something. I am wondering if narrowing the sleeve a bit as well as shortening it might make a really big difference as to how this is perceived.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket#post-899328 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 02:56:30 +0000 Transcona Shannon 899328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You got that right Una! We're always just so darned determined to make something work no matter what, aren't we? I wonder if we'd shop well together or if it would just be double the craziness??? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket#post-899321 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 02:52:54 +0000 catgirl 899321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, Shannon, I know!&nbsp; I just cringe while typing because I want you to be HAPPY.&nbsp; You shop very much like I do, and are just as stubborn and persistent.&nbsp;&nbsp;I totally get you, girlfriend - and that's both good and bad for both of us. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket#post-899320 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 02:52:38 +0000 carolbee 899320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmmmm, I'm really not sure. &nbsp;Yes, its a great colour and yes it looks good on you. &nbsp;BUT is it a 10? (or even a 9?). &nbsp;Thats the question I would be asking myself. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket#post-899317 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 02:49:18 +0000 Transcona Shannon 899317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh Una - please don't misunderstand me! I mean that in a good way - that it's good you ask me these questions because I'm such an emotional shopper that I don't always think straight. I always ALWAYS appreciate when you help me figure things out https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket#post-899312 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 02:44:23 +0000 catgirl 899312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooh, sorry!&nbsp; I feel like I'm more like the root canal than the root.&nbsp; But I had to ask because in that way you are so very much like me! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket#post-899309 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 02:43:19 +0000 Transcona Shannon 899309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aaaaahhhhh...there's my Una with the question that gets to the root of the matter! Is this desire to fill this spring leather jacket hole outweighing reason? Honest answer? Could very well be :)<br /><br />Actually to be VERY honest...I'm not even sure now WHY I started out with this hunt for a spring leather jacket. I'm reasonably satisfied with my wardrobe and have introduced a few great spring pieces lately.&nbsp;<br /><br />And I'd probably get more use and joy out of a frock or two as opposed to the jacket...and as much as I love the colour and love it on me, it may indeed have limited use with my wardrobe.<br /><br />Hmmmm.....but I will say that the happiness factor when I put this jacket on was pretty darned strong. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket#post-899303 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 02:40:27 +0000 MsMary 899303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love it on you. &nbsp;I vote The One! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-is-this-my-spring-leather-jacket#post-899301 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 02:39:09 +0000 catgirl 899301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmm, I'm torn.&nbsp; I love the blue, but I'd like to see what it goes with in your wardrobe.&nbsp; And the fit reminds me of my Theory blazer, in that it doesn't look like it needs to close, which is good.&nbsp; <br /><br />But I'm wondering if it truly has that little special something that all your statement pieces have (aside from being a blue leather jacket!)... I feel like you really have been wanting something to fit this hole, and I just want to make sure you're not compromising in any way.&nbsp;
