I bought that burgundy jacket too! I hope it works out for you--we can be leather jacket twins! How fun! Yay Mr. Thistle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather/page/2#post-996656 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 22:32:20 +0000 Sylvie 996656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I really hope the burgundy jacket works out for you.&nbsp; I bet it will be stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather/page/2#post-996642 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 22:10:50 +0000 Echo 996642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the smaller black jacket on you. There is absolutely no reason that a black leather jacket cannot go with a lady-like style, and I think it looks polished and has just enough edge to make it interesting. That might be why your DH likes it! I definitely think you should keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather/page/2#post-996633 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 22:03:50 +0000 Anonymous 996633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The burgundy color is going to be incredible on you, but I don't think it has those same stretchy panels. I hope the fit is as good as the black one has! Fingers crossed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather/page/2#post-996632 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 22:02:40 +0000 Peri 996632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't guess you need another comment, but depending on comfort, the small is very flattering! I really love this on you...but I'm a fan of black.&nbsp;</p> <p>Then I saw the red one and almost drooled. Wow! You are going to have a tough decision! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather/page/2#post-996630 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 22:00:57 +0000 AviaMariah 996630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you with pants but I do think it looks too long with your dress. &nbsp;To me black is so basic that I wouldn't worry about that but, like others, am waiting to see the burgundy one on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather/page/2#post-996626 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 21:57:49 +0000 abc 996626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you can go wrong with either. I wear leather jackets and I have two little ones. Don't worry! </p> <p>But to be completely honest I'm secretly watching to see the burgundy one. I have a feeling it might be out of this world on you. Can't wait to see it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather/page/2#post-996535 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 19:24:59 +0000 Lisa 996535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think this is too rugged.&nbsp; It actually has a feminine, delicate vibe to my eye because there are not a lot of bells and whistles or zig zag zippers on this piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather/page/2#post-996452 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 17:40:34 +0000 rachylou 996452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in this jacket. Leather is eminently practical. I say go with the smaller one.</p> <p>I, frankly, lean towards the black. But will wait politely to see the other colour. I feel it doesn't do to be too sweet... but of course, I'm dark and spooky </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather/page/2#post-996413 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 16:47:36 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 996413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the black jacket, smaller size. I'm amazed at how beautifully it fits--shoulder, bust, waist, hips, sleeves--who can ever get such a great fit all over? Those knit insets are genius, aren't they? I don't think the neckline will date, as it's a classic, but the cut of this one is a little hard to style, in my opinion. I'd say the black jacket is a 9 for you.<br />I am very eager to see the burgundy jacket on you, though, because I think the color and neckline might both be better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather/page/2#post-996398 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 16:17:36 +0000 Susie 996398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I hope the burgundy one fits because I think that would be a 10++++ for you, both in color and in style.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've said it before, but I sure like that Mr. Thistle! He is a gem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather/page/2#post-996393 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 16:13:42 +0000 cade 996393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The burgundy jacket is gorgeous . FWIW smooth leather and kids mix well, suede not so. Trust me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather#post-996256 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:48:58 +0000 Jeanie 996256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried this jacket on at the store and I wanted to love it but I just didn't love the neckline. &nbsp;It looks good on you&nbsp;in pic #1 with the neckline of your pink dress. &nbsp;I had a v neck on like you do in pic #7 and I just didn't love those 2 necklines together. &nbsp;Leather is good with toddlers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather#post-996235 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:26:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 996235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the smaller size on you Thistle and as Natalie has pointed out, leather can actually be more toddler friendly than some fabrics.</p> <p>I do like Suz's suggestion of trying it with a few tops and other outfits to make sure it works with your wardrobe. If it does, I would definitely keep. I think it is flattering and has a nice ladylike vibe to it while still adding a bit of "edge". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather#post-996234 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:24:00 +0000 Sarah A 996234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the smaller size alright, but i am not feeling "wow"ed by the black. I think i do find it a bit long? Maybe it is the high contrast colors youve picked for us to see the lines of the cut, and styled in as you would wear it would work better. I cant articulate it well, but I will be waiting to see the deep burgandy one you have on order. I think that color might work a bit better for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather#post-996225 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:11:42 +0000 Suz 996225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually waited to comment because I wasn't entirely sure how I felt. I like the ladylike vibe of this jacket for you. I like that it has the ponte insets. I think the smaller one seems a decent fit. But like Gaylene, I wanted to see you in a softer colour. Those of us with low contrast colouring <b>CAN</b> sometimes wear black well but it usually isn't our most flattering colour, and I feel that a different colour would bring you more to life. However, I also understand the versatility of black. So I'm eagerly waiting to see the red jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>Neckline -- I would definitely try that jacket with tops you would hope to wear it with. (Actually, try both jackets that way). For me, a collarless neckline is anathema, but you have long hair and an actual bust, which might make it perfection from a figure flattery point of view. Even so, some tops do not play well with it. So you might want to check that, especially your lovely wrap tops.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather#post-996211 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 12:59:00 +0000 Anonymous 996211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Before deciding on size, you may want to try layering under the jacket the way you might wear it in cooler weather. You must get a leather jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather#post-996209 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 12:56:27 +0000 Gaylene 996209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, given my previous comment, I'll be anxiously waiting to see that deep red jacket on you. As others have pointed out, a good leather jacket is quite durable and, in my opinion, looks even better as it ages. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather#post-996206 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 12:52:33 +0000 Day Vies 996206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit on the jacket is wonderful. I do think a leather jacket would work excellently with this dress. (Love the color!) but I think because of the flared skirt a cropped length would work better but that is just for this dress and I know you just put this together to show off the jacket. I love the collarless style and it looks like a good fit zipped or unzipped. I can't wait to see what else you do with this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather#post-996201 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 12:44:53 +0000 ironkurtin 996201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chiming in to say I really like the black one, the collar is very elegant. I can see it dressing up or down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather#post-996199 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 12:43:54 +0000 Anonymous 996199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, leather is awesome with small kids. Everything just wipes off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather#post-996183 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 12:25:29 +0000 Glory 996183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it for you in the small size. I would not worry about the toddler and leather. I find leather very wipeable and resiliant. I have had the same leather sofas in off white for over 15 years - through 3 babies and toddlers and they still look great.<br />I think this one looks good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather#post-996168 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 12:11:24 +0000 Lyn D. 996168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the colour Thistle- is it the same style? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather#post-996162 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 11:57:16 +0000 Thistle 996162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tank you all for the great and honest feedback! I also ordered this jacket at DHs prodding. I wouldn't have considered spending so much if he hadn't been looking over my should ;). He is a big fan of a leather jacket for me.</p> <p>I will hold onto these until it arrives!</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/lafayette-148-new-york-front-zip-leather-jacket-plus-size/3493836?origin=wishlist" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/la.....n=wishlist</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather#post-996134 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 11:13:09 +0000 goldenpig 996134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the smaller size on you! And leather is actually great for kids--that's why we have leather seats in our cars. Much more stain resistant than cloth. I wear my leather jackets all the time, and I have a newborn and toddler. Spit up comes off with a baby wipe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather#post-996128 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 11:03:49 +0000 missvee 996128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you too. I can see you wearing it a lot with trousers to work, or with jeans for a more casual look. Try it with your animal print booties, a fun scarf and your new fab purse and see what you think. Oh, and the smaller size looks just fine to me, and leather will *ease* a bit as you wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather#post-996099 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:02:58 +0000 Jjsloane 996099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jacket and the ponte does make it fit you well (smaller size) but I do think it's a tad long to work with dresses on you and I know you wear a lot of them. I definitely think you can do leather, but I'm not sold that this is a 10 for you.<br />When I sold furniture I always recommended leather over fabric for people with children - much tougher. I have spray and wipes.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather#post-996097 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 09:59:16 +0000 kkards 996097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love this, and prefer #1, but don't think that the larger one fits so much differently that if that one is more comfortable it would be a mistake to keep.<br />i think this jacket would be a great addition to your ladylike style, it will add a little of the unexpected, in a good way. i can see this jacket/blazer as a way to help transition some of your spring/summer dress to fall/winter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather#post-996087 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 09:26:02 +0000 Jaime 996087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see why a toddler would preclude a leather coat. I think this looks good on you but am considering the comments about the color and wondering if you shouldn't try one or two others before you decide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-nas---black-leather#post-996068 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:53:45 +0000 rute 996068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>another vote for the smaller size! </p>
