And that's pretty much what happened. I stared at the pink jacket hanging in the closet and it just didn't sit right with the other stuff there. I'm a bit sad because style-wise it was a complete winner for me, and if the pink had been just a bit softer/ paler/ cooler it would have been exactly right. Ah, well..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/3#post-1231704 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 03:04:54 +0000 Gigi 1231704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you were able to make your decision and not look back, Suz! I always ask myself, If I buy this, will I want to see it in my wardrobe day after day? If the answer is no, then it's time to return. :^) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/3#post-1231638 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 02:03:03 +0000 Suz 1231638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rabbit, great tips, thank you! I think maybe you have better options for online gear in the US than we do here -- here the prices are pretty standard everywhere (except for manufacturer's sales or store closeouts). <b>BUT</b> -- I actually live close enough to the border and have one of those US address thingies, so if I know what I want I can scout sales and order it and then just go pick it up. </p> <p>Meanwhile, you are right -- chances are I might need different stuff than I anticipate and now I have just saved a pile of money in case I have to make an emergency purchase! :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/3#post-1231622 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 01:48:50 +0000 Sveta 1231622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a brilliant decision, Suz! Here I keep my fingers crossed for more luck in local shopping.<br />Have a nice trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/3#post-1231619 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 01:47:57 +0000 rabbit 1231619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a note about gear, I don't know about in Canada, but the in US for me&nbsp;it's almost always cheaper to buy the same item of gear online with coupon codes etc.&nbsp;than in a gear store (after I've tried it on and it's fit well in a store). &nbsp; If you have something that will work, I'd maybe make a note of the coat you liked and if it goes on sale in the future you can consider it then.</p> <p>If you were in the US I'd say try Sports Authority, not a gear store - more team sports, but they have big sales on NorthFace all the time.</p> <p>Also I think it's good to wait and see what the environment is really like, you will probably need something you didn't anticipate, and not need something you brought. &nbsp;:) &nbsp; Either way it won't matter and you'll no doubt have a great time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/3#post-1231613 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 01:42:28 +0000 pil 1231613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Onward and upward! You'll find what you're looking for! I passed a Forever 21 today and nearly stopped in just to see if they had Jen A's blush moto - but I passed by </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/3#post-1231608 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 01:39:02 +0000 Mo 1231608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was wondering what you'd decide. &nbsp;I had a color issue, again, with things being hot pink instead of bright berry. &nbsp;I'm also returning. &nbsp;<br />Better to hem and haw for a few days and hand wring than stare at it in the closet for months or years to come! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/3#post-1231600 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 01:32:27 +0000 Suz 1231600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>UPDATE:</b></p> <p>I got cold feet and sent the&nbsp;<b>LOT</b>&nbsp;back -- including the vest. The vest I feared would not provide real warmth (and it is quite heavy due to hardware-- so not the best travelling item). And the jacket really did feel "Peptol Bismol" to me -- it's a shame, because IRL it is just a fraction "off" for me, and as an outer layer vs. an inner layer I just don't want to keep it. Not at that price. (The J. Crew tee is also imperfect -- in the "too strong/ too neon" direction vs. too warm/ flat ...but it's mostly worn under a topper and in summer -- when my skin will have more warmth -- so I was more willing to compromise there.)</p> <p>But I&nbsp;<b>LOVED</b>&nbsp;the style and hope Zara will reproduce in a different colour -- sometimes they do that, with small variations.</p> <p>I also sent back the North Face raincoat from the other day. It is really good...but....not inexpensive. And I still have a waterproof rain&nbsp;<b>jacket</b>&nbsp;that I can use for now in the mountains. True, it's more obviously gear and it's less versatile. But it's actually more practical for hiking, even if I don't care for the colour (a hot pink that -- once again! -- isn't "my" pink, but is "passable.")</p> <p>Meanwhile, I can look for another at my destination, where gear stores are thicker than spruce needles on the ground.</p> <p>I have decided to shop for:</p> <ul> <li>Waterproof rain coat (if needed)</li> <li>Swimsuit</li> <li>Indoor running shoes</li> <li>Backpack</li> </ul> <p><b>AT</b>&nbsp;my destination, to save myself from having to carry it all there.&nbsp;&nbsp;Prices will be the same (or less) and I don't have to make a hasty decision.</p> <div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1231432 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 23:21:51 +0000 Sveta 1231432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think amount of effort you put into this pink moto proves that you really like it - so why not? Maybe it is your wild card after the orange pants did not work out?<br />&lt;enabling, enabling...&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1231096 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 18:01:58 +0000 Debbie 1231096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you keep the jacket. It is a way as Angie said to introduce a new color. You look radiant in the jacket. So I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1231084 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 17:50:54 +0000 catgirl 1231084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg keep! I'm not a pink fan but that jacket is such a great wild card for you and you are glowing in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1231042 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 17:20:37 +0000 rabbit 1231042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The emotional reactions to pink are very interesting to me. &nbsp;I pretty much love all pinks, but I don't think that really started until I lived for awhile in India and traveled in Nepal. &nbsp; I think I started to think of pink as a strong and empowered&nbsp;color, a woman's color, and lost any previous Barbie/children's clothing&nbsp;associations.</p> <p>I think also it can pair well with more austere, androgynous, harder edged clothing and balance it out a bit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ultimately you have to go with your gut I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1230924 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 15:29:59 +0000 Suz 1230924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: and I did something I almost never do and pulled out my colours "wallet" (from my pre-YLF colour analysis) and lo and behold, there is a pink swatch almost exactly like this jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>Mind you, I do not vouch for the quality/ precision of this wallet. I think of the colours more as "ball park" indicators. I honestly don't think the person who put it together has as much colour sense as I do. But, even so. It's pretty interesting.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1230922 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 15:27:21 +0000 Suz 1230922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for chiming in, Angie.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have now put it past Mr. Suz. And guess what? He is no help whatsoever.&nbsp;He likes the jacket and "doesn't mind" the colour. He said he could see that another pink might be better....but he thought this one looked pretty good. (This surprised me since he isn't a huge fan of pink to begin with.)&nbsp;</p> <p>He liked the vest okay, too, but he is worried it won't provide any real warmth. He has a point on that score. &nbsp;I may end up sending that whole Zara order back!&nbsp;</p> <p>Well, still pondering, but I appreciate the input.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1230823 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 14:00:26 +0000 Angie 1230823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The vest is GREAT.</p> <p>I also thought that the pink was a little warmer than what you would have typically gone for, Suz. But you've cooled it down really well wearing it with white - and ink or grey&nbsp;will do the same. I love it on you. Why not. It's a fun Zara piece that did not break the bank -&nbsp;and a fabulous colour vehicle. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1230816 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 13:54:27 +0000 Janet 1230816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I keep checking back to see how you're feeling about this. :-)</p> <p>Pinks are tricky, and colors on a screen are not easy to evaluate, so I can see why you really need to consider this carefully.</p> <p>Yesterday I stopped in a Marshall's for the first time in ages -- my goal was a bit of gift shopping, but I also took a spin through the clothing racks (I did have an unexpected success, which I will start a separate post about!). There was a really pretty sleeveless layered top that had a hint of a tulip shape (perhaps great for someone with a straighter figure than mine) and the color was a bright mid pink. Not bubble gum, but something just a hint cooler and lighter, perhaps, and there was something oddly appealing about it. It brought back a flash of some sort of memory to me -- I must have owned something this color at one point in my life, but I can't put my finger on what it was. Have you ever had that happen? At any rate, it seemed like a pink I could possibly wear happily, even though I recoil from anything bubblegummy or too sweet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1230800 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 13:43:26 +0000 Diana 1230800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I haven't commented on the jacket yet because I don't trust my judgement when it comes to this color pink. It is very similar to that pink leather moto I got sent by accident the first time I tried to buy the turquoise moto. Angie and some others loved it but all I could see was PEPTO. I knew I wouldn't wear it. (Unlike, say, blush, which I love the look of but still am not 100% certain is flattering on me.)</p> <p>FWIW, the fit is good and you do look pretty in the color, but... It sounds like you have a similar issue as me with the color. It doesn't sound like you want to wear it, you know? And while I'm all for stretching the fashion envelope sometimes, you've got to want to wear it first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1230789 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 13:32:35 +0000 Suz 1230789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon -- no worries!! If this were the right pink, I would wear it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately the light is bad here today -- I am waiting to show Mr. Suz and will report back when I can!&nbsp;</p> <p>Joy -- this pink looks awful with the taupe. That is one of my clues that it might not be the right pink for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>It is fine with navy, white, cream, and black. Looks okay with some but not all of my blues.&nbsp;</p> <p>But with the taupe? Ugh. The taupe is sort of a "muddy" colour, I guess. I would not call the jacket a "clear" pink, exactly, but a "flat" one without depth, and somehow the two don't marry well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1230752 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 13:00:49 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1230752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy - what a fabulous suggestion with the taupe pants!</p> <p>Suz - I had to chime back in because I wanted to make sure you didn't misunderstand my previous comments. I think the jacket looks spectacular on you and you can definitely wear this shade of pink. It's beautiful with your coloring. My reservation stems from my concern on whether or not you will <i></i>wear the jacket <i><b>because</b></i> of the color. But you look great in it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1230745 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 12:56:35 +0000 Anonymous 1230745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How does the pink jacket look with your taupe suit pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1230739 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 12:51:48 +0000 Alassë 1230739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The vest is fashionable gear; great purchase!</p> <p>I immediately liked the pink moto on you, but wondered if it was a touch warm for your wardrobe. So I can see both sides of the debate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1230736 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 12:47:33 +0000 Golden 1230736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jacket is adorable but I see the differences in the colors once you posted the other pink and berry outfits. Although the jacket is cute and looks great compared to the others, possibly not the best color, but it depends on what it looks like in real life. You wouldn't want a closet orphan, but if you love it? Tough decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1230711 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 12:15:48 +0000 Anonymous 1230711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmm. I think the shape and fit of the jacket look great and the pink really brightens you up. I kind of see what you mean about the shade, though. This may just be my thing, but it's also hard for me to look at&nbsp;a&nbsp;jacket in that very bright pink (especially one with that&nbsp;boucle-y texture) without seeing a kind of retro, lady-who-lunches vibe. And I could be wrong, but I feel like that's not a look you usually go for. Although there's always something to be said for trying something different, right?</p> <p>And I vote keep for the vest! Looks like a nice combo of style and practicality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1230695 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 11:54:18 +0000 leopardluxe 1230695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, I love the pink moto on you. Please keep it! It makes your skin glow and the fit on you is divine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1230654 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 09:26:58 +0000 Deborah 1230654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, the jacket looks great on you. Lovely fit and great cut. For some reason I am wanting to see a softer pink. This is a deeper, stronger pink than I was expecting for some reason. I feel a softer, more blush tone, might be more versatile. However I may be swayed by having worn such strong tones in the 80's! I find it difficult to revisit where I have already been. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1230652 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 09:18:06 +0000 Neel 1230652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the way the pink moto makes your cheeks glow! But I am not a color expert. And I seem to like the pink in 1 more than pic 2. It all now depends on how you feel about it.</p> <p>The vest of course fits well and should serve your purpose. That's a win for gear-esque wear </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1230557 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 05:05:01 +0000 Ingunn 1230557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, the fit is perfect, and the style, too. My first reaction was that it's an unusual color for you. Colors are so tricky sometimes! However, in my experience, if I have any doubts in the first place, I don't end up wearing it much. How about you, Suz? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-pink-moto-vest/page/2#post-1230555 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 04:52:03 +0000 rae 1230555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really really adore you in the pink moto! Keep keep! it kind of strikes me as a 2014 version of your raspberry jacket.</p> <p>not a huge fan of the best. Reads very LL Bean to me. </p>
