I actually liked the jacket very much, but when I saw it again compared to your old trench, it was clear to me that trench is wining:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-jacket#post-2053941 Sun, 18 Aug 2019 06:15:35 +0000 Katerina 2053941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Joy and Suntiger for looking and the feedback. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-jacket#post-2053899 Sun, 18 Aug 2019 00:29:56 +0000 Anonymous 2053899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good decision, since you said you didn't love it! It looks nice, and consistent with your style, but I like the trench more too I'm surprised that the beige works so well on you, since you're so good in vibrant colors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-jacket#post-2053878 Sat, 17 Aug 2019 22:39:21 +0000 Anonymous 2053878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you made the right call and would reach for the trench but, if you ever need a casual jacket, this one looks refined and stream-lined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-jacket#post-2053874 Sat, 17 Aug 2019 22:24:33 +0000 Katerina 2053874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Cardiff girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-jacket#post-2053828 Sat, 17 Aug 2019 19:06:15 +0000 Cardiff girl 2053828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you ve made the right decision,that trench looks so much more you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-jacket#post-2053805 Sat, 17 Aug 2019 16:37:19 +0000 Katerina 2053805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you guys very much for looking and for the wise advice.<br /> I added a picture of one of the trench coats which can do the same job as the jacket. It is old, bought some 8 or 9 years ago from Escada, but still going strong. I feel it suits me better. The jacket goes back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-jacket#post-2053791 Sat, 17 Aug 2019 14:45:43 +0000 Ledonna N. 2053791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You said it yourself.

It is okay but I have seen you wear much nicer jackets. Listen to your instinct. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-jacket#post-2053704 Sat, 17 Aug 2019 06:21:04 +0000 Bijou 2053704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Katerina, does it feel like you? I think the answer to that is no, so why force the issue.</p> <p>You have styled the jacket to perfection, because you are an amazing stylist. Please return it because you need LOVE to add things to your amazing wardrobe, not just functionality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-jacket#post-2053700 Sat, 17 Aug 2019 05:09:16 +0000 Kate 2053700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You don't need us, Katerina. You answered your own question. You don't love it on yourself. Return it, and go admire that stunning olive jacket in your wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-jacket#post-2053643 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 23:38:47 +0000 LAR101 2053643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jacket looks lovely on you and I love how you styled it with the red. I could see how you would consider keeping it even if you don’t love it. But a bargain in the closet is no bargain at all.</p> <p> But before you send it back, I think I would audition it against the other trench coats in the closet that would do the job.<br /> If this one outshines one or two of the others, AND if you can move at least one of those out of your home, AND if you would wear it sometime specific, then perhaps this new one can stay. Otherwise, if you like the coats you already have better, maybe this would only become unworn clothing. </p> <p>You have posted so many fantastic outfits and have a lovely clothing sense. I think it needs to be the among the best of the choices in your closet for that outing for you to wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-jacket#post-2053632 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 23:23:02 +0000 Katerina 2053632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, guys, for the honest advice. Much appreciated.</p> <p>I think I am getting to understand the problem I have with this jacket.</p> <p>Donna F., thank you, your comment really opened my eyes. Although I like weekend country estate style on others - it is not really my style. Ha, that must be it!</p> <p>As much as I like the jacket as such, I don’t love it on me. </p> <p>Jenni NZ - your mantra is very useful and wise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-jacket#post-2053615 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 22:11:47 +0000 Cardiff girl 2053615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with all above.It looks really nice on you but if you don’t love it you will end up not wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-jacket#post-2053612 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 22:01:23 +0000 DonnaF 2053612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see this as a chore jacket to wear at one’s weekend country estate where one personally is not responsible for any chores. . .</p> <p>Your heart is telling you to return it. A bargain not worn is no bargain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-jacket#post-2053610 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 21:57:30 +0000 christy 2053610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it (a lot!), but echo the others - if you’re not all that crazy about it, will you reach for it often enough? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-jacket#post-2053606 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 21:51:48 +0000 Anonymous 2053606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well......1. &nbsp;as soon as you even think "I don't love it on me", that's a sign you need to pay attention to (this coming from someone who buys too many things I don't like on myself) &nbsp;2. HOWEVER..... &nbsp;I think the silhouette is very flattering on you, and this shirt-jacket style is trending big-time right now (that's 70's look again). &nbsp;I saw a bunch of them yesterday at Aritizia and actually burst out laughing . &nbsp;Trendy or not, I think this trimmer silhouette really works for you, and could be a versatile piece. &nbsp; &nbsp;I don't want to talk you into anything &nbsp;, because I don't think anyone of us needs anything so badly we should be talked into it.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-jacket#post-2053600 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 21:40:30 +0000 Carla 2053600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jacket looks really nice, actually, but if you're not loving it - send it back (or send it to me ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-jacket#post-2053599 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 21:33:12 +0000 Jenni NZ 2053599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Sarah D8. As soon as you wrote: “I don’t love it on me” I thought That’s a No. In fact that’s a sort of mantra I’m using for myself, to really love it by itself first and secondly to really love it ON ME.<br /> Think you should return for that reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-jacket#post-2053596 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 21:27:10 +0000 SarahD8 2053596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Katerina! You look great as usual but my vote is return. Your reasons for keeping are all sort of theoretical, logical, very "head" focused reasons. But I think you should listen to your "heart." You have lots of GREAT clothes that suit your style to a T, I have a hard time imagining when you would choose to wear this jacket you feel so-so about instead of one of your other options. In short, if it's not a Heck Yes it's a No.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-transitional-jacket#post-2053592 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 21:17:26 +0000 Katerina 2053592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear Fabbers,<br /> I ordered this jacket, it was on huge sale, it is from Escada Sport.<br /> I am now contemplating whether to keep or return. I quickly styled here with a scarf and gloves, but it is very versatile, so there are many options.<br /> Pros:<br /> * GREAT quality AND machine washable. Thick beautiful cotton fabric, very well made.<br /> * Classical look, versatile.<br /> * Great price. </p> <p>Cons:<br /> * Don’t love it on me. The shape is too straight, a bit to “sporty” or something.... Maybe just not my style? Too wide? Or too long?<br /> Or maybe wrong trousers to this?<br /> * Have a couple of trench coats - long and short, that could do the same job, already. </p> <p>I am undecided and would appreciate your opinion. Do you like it? Does it work on me? Is the fit all right? What would you do?</p> <p>ETA I added a picture of my really old short trench coat and the outfit I wear today. After considerations and your valuable feedback - I will return the jacket. The trench does the same job and I feel better in it. </p>
