I personally liked the pants a lot, whiskering included --- I thought they were very flattering on you; but of course, they don't look boyfriend-y enough perhaps. Glad the jacket's sounding like it will work --- I love the sharpness of it up front and then the delicate little ruffle hiding in the back: tres chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-report-marks-a-boyfriend-and-a-blazer#post-662183 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 03:10:39 +0000 Diana 662183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for your input. I am going to return the boots and jeans, and exchange the jacket for the larger size. Jonesy, I hear you about the fit on the arms but I think I'd probably cuff them anyway (the lining is the same blush color as the ruffle) so it would not be as much of an issue. I will wait to see how the larger size fits though! I think the shoulders on the current one are actually slightly small although I'm sure my bad posture is not helping things any; the shoulder is that slightly puffy style that I like, which should actually stick out slightly past my actual shoulder. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-report-marks-a-boyfriend-and-a-blazer#post-662163 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 02:23:22 +0000 Jaime 662163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree that the color of the booties are great but they are too gappy. Don't love the whiskering either. The white jacket looks great in principle but it really depends how the larger size fits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-report-marks-a-boyfriend-and-a-blazer#post-662157 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 02:08:39 +0000 Transcona Shannon 662157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jacket Diana - but agree that a size up will probably work better. I like the jeans on you but they don't slouch enough for me to be true BF jeans. Love the colour of the booties on you but the fit seems off unfortunately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-report-marks-a-boyfriend-and-a-blazer#post-662148 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 02:01:01 +0000 Heather 662148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana--Piperlime totally will honor your coupon code if you are exchanging. I really dig that jacket! The blush bit is so lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-report-marks-a-boyfriend-and-a-blazer#post-662106 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 00:58:37 +0000 Jonesy 662106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pass on the booties. I think the jeans are cute, but they don't seem baggy enough for BFs...I like the idea of the jacket, but I'm wondering if you size up, if the sleeves will get even baggier (right now they seem a little wide, especially given how fitted the body of the jacket is). It seems like it fits you through the shoulders now too, so don't know if a size up will be too big...I guess there is only one way to find out :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-report-marks-a-boyfriend-and-a-blazer#post-662076 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 00:37:26 +0000 nicoleb 662076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those boots are an awesome color but i agree with the others in saying they too look too "gappy". The jeans are just "meh" for me but i also think the blazer has potential. Online ordering can be frustrating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-report-marks-a-boyfriend-and-a-blazer#post-662070 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 00:31:56 +0000 Diana 662070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, Rae, I hadn't noticed the white lining until you mentioned it, and now I totally see the highlighter effect in my photos too!</p> <p>Isis, unfortunately those boots don't appear to be available in a 7.5 or 8 in any color. They are a great deal though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-report-marks-a-boyfriend-and-a-blazer#post-662047 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 00:05:53 +0000 Isis 662047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's another blue bootie that might be less gappy, and might be an 8 hr shoe.</p> <p><a href="http://www.endless.com/dp/B004ZIONHE/ref=asc_df_B004ZIONHE2065742?tag=dealtend-22456-20&#038;creative=395033&#038;linkCode=asn&#038;creativeASIN=B004ZIONHE" rel="nofollow">http://www.endless.com/dp/B004.....B004ZIONHE</a></p> <p>a deal if they have your size..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-report-marks-a-boyfriend-and-a-blazer#post-662038 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:53:39 +0000 annagybe 662038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jacket in a size up will be great. Not a fan of the jeans. Unfortunately the boots do seem a bit too gappy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-report-marks-a-boyfriend-and-a-blazer#post-662036 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:52:29 +0000 rae 662036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Piperlime should be able to do it with an even exchange for the same garment. I had some trouble with an exchange before, but I was exchanging for a different item and used a gift card - in the end they were able to help me, so if you meet resistence keep at it. </p> <p>I felt the same way about the blue - and as someone pointed out, for whatever reason, the inside of the blue is bright white, which draws even more attention to the gap. In my pics, I felt like someone had circled my small ankles with a highlighter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-report-marks-a-boyfriend-and-a-blazer#post-662027 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:43:30 +0000 Diana 662027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, yeah, I agree the jeans are not really boyfriendy. I'm not sure i have the body type for the BF look I want. I was saying in Tanya's thread that I like the look of BF jeans sitting very low, right on the hip bone. These actually DO sit on my hip bone; it's just that my hip is so high that they don't even really look low rise. But any lower and my butt would be showing in back. =P I have another pair coming - a full length style with a lot more distressing - so maybe that will be better.</p> <p>Some early jacket love too! Does anyone know if piperlime will honor the coupon code I used (that is now expired) for an even exchange? I definitely need a size up, as I can't really move my arms freely here. =P</p> <p>Re: the bootie gap. I wonder if it's more noticeable because of the bright color? I don't really notice it on all of your nude ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-report-marks-a-boyfriend-and-a-blazer#post-662025 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:39:12 +0000 catgirl 662025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the blazer (in a size up - I think this is a wee bit small). Not loving the booties from the side - I know others are okay with the gap but it bothers me anyway. I like the jeans but they don't look like a really BF fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-report-marks-a-boyfriend-and-a-blazer#post-662022 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:33:17 +0000 Anonymous 662022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a fan of the booties, I think there are better ones out there waiting for you!</p> <p>I like the jacket, even with jeans. The jeans are ok, but I am not sure of your goal with them. I agree with Rae that they don't have that slouchy boyfriend look to them. If you don't love the whiskering I say send them back to their brethren in the warehouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-report-marks-a-boyfriend-and-a-blazer#post-662021 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:26:39 +0000 rae 662021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the blazer! I don't even mind it with pants/jeans. I don't mind the whiskering on the jeans, but I am a whiskering fan (unless it's really poorly done and fake looking). However, I'm not sure these look boyfriend-y, if that's what you're looking for. Your slouchy black pants look more like a boyfriend fit to my eye. </p> <p>I think I should sit out the blue bootie debate since I decided against them for myself... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-report-marks-a-boyfriend-and-a-blazer#post-662017 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:21:05 +0000 Diana 662017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Several items I ordered this weekend from piperlime have just arrived. I'm undecided about all three of these. </p> <p>First, the report marks booties in cobalt. I love the color and the heel feels pretty good for 3" but I am unsure I could make it 8 hours in them. They are extremely gapey from the side view and I am not sure I like this. </p> <p>Next, a pair of AG Ex-boyfriend crops. These are one size up from my normal. I rolled one of the legs up once more to the length I prefer. I am not crazy about the whiskering at the hips and I think it makes them look even wider than normal. I also don't love the color - it's fine but I wanted either something lighter wash or something more distressed (that is not distressing on the leg, it's a label). So unless people absolutely love these they are going back.</p> <p>Finally, a white cropped blazer. It has a ruffled blush bit at the back. It is slightly too small so i would have to exchange for a size up even if it's a keeper. The stance is too low but in principle I could fix this by moving the hook and eye up. I would wear this with skirts/dresses so never mind that it is clearly too short to wear w/ jeans. </p>
