If the shearling were pale grey and the jacket weren't so wrinkly there wouldn't even be a question about it. In fact, I would have already worn it. This has helped me a lot.</p> <p>I often have barely liked outfits. It's true that the response here can tell you something. For me, the pants are usually too baggy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1856621 Sun, 29 Oct 2017 23:19:13 +0000 unfrumped 1856621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, you just put your finger on it. The yellow- toned shearling doesn’t set off the pink in a sophisticated or edgy way. It reminds me of birthday cake and bugs me and I think causes it to read more girlish than some other pink items might. . But, that’s me, not you.</p> <p>FWIW, I sometimes post something I really like that does not get as much forum love, and I will be puzzled but try to see if that tells me anything, or if it’s just different styles and tastes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1856597 Sun, 29 Oct 2017 19:49:59 +0000 JAileen 1856597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joyce, I'm not sure the cause of the wrinkles. I wonder if it was washed after construction. Would an iron melt the shearling?</p> <p>Elizabeth, LaP, thanks. I was surprised at how much people disliked it. Two other issues, though: bulky and therefore takes up a lot of precious closet space; the shearling which is super cozy, is a warm cream color, and kind of clashes with my very cool toned grey hair. </p> <p>Angie, yes, I'm *very* attracted to pink jackets. Strange, isn't it? I have two others, though: a thrifted lightweight jean jacket style, not for chilly weather, and a pale pink waterproof shell that can layer over fleece or down. This one would be the icing on the cake, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1856564 Sun, 29 Oct 2017 15:14:29 +0000 Angie 1856564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Point to consider: you like to make a point of wearing pink jackets these days.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1856554 Sun, 29 Oct 2017 12:19:55 +0000 LaPed 1856554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Elizabeth P -- surprised that this isn't getting more love! I think the colour makes perfect sense with your palette, and the fit on this one is good (I missed the first two, but looking back to compare I like this one best). If it were me, I might try leaving the bottom button open -- seems a bit tight on the hips, a problem I always have with banded-bottom jackets. Sherpa fleece lining is cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1856551 Sun, 29 Oct 2017 11:19:15 +0000 Elizabeth P 1856551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m surprised at the comments on this. I think it’s great for you, now that you’ve found the right size. It’s not “sweet”, the jean jacket style takes care of that. I think it’s a fun jacket option and hope you’ll keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1856541 Sun, 29 Oct 2017 04:28:53 +0000 Joyce B 1856541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you steam the wrinkles or are they due to extra fabric? I am referring to the ones in the center front on both sides. If they are due to extra fabric I would look for another jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1856539 Sun, 29 Oct 2017 03:35:21 +0000 JAileen 1856539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Approprio, yes, not sweet. Definitely not Barbie!</p> <p>3Style, this jacket is not perfect, and I appreciate your pointing out jarring details. It has a lot going for it, though - great jean jacket style, warm, and unexpected color.</p> <p>Joyce, thank you. The color works very well with grey. I'm not completely decided, however. I love the style and color, but not the wrinkles, for one thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1856435 Sat, 28 Oct 2017 14:44:37 +0000 Joyce B 1856435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this size on you best and the unexpected light pink. It will go very nicely with your greys and charcoals and will liven the palette.<br /> Maybe wear it for a little bit in what will be your usual wear and then you will be in a better position to decide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1856431 Sat, 28 Oct 2017 13:16:55 +0000 3style 1856431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The placement of the front top pockets is throwing me off. It kind of looks like the pockets are up near your armpits instead of over your chest. They seem both to be too high and too far apart. Looks like they would be tricky to actually use for keys or kleenex or whatever practical items you might want for walking around without a purse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1855674 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 15:50:16 +0000 approprio 1855674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pink doesn't need to be sugar-sweet. Schiaparelli made it shocking and with good reason.&nbsp;I have loads of it.</p> <p>This jacket has attitude, the more so for being pink. Not so much Barbie as Boy Named Sue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1855659 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 14:59:58 +0000 JAileen 1855659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thank you. I'm still not sure, but I'm glad you think it's right.</p> <p>Lisa, I know what you mean about sweetness. It doesn't seem like me, does it? Especially since I wear so much grey. But that's what I'll wear with it - my winter uniform of jeans, charcoal tee, and probably boots of some kind. The rest of the outfit would counteract the sweetness. Hopefully. Still thinking, here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1855655 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 14:52:36 +0000 Anonymous 1855655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm admittedly not in love with this, pink bender or no. &nbsp;I looked at it a couple of times yesterday and was confused at first thinking these were two different sizes represented here. Liz makes a good point reminding us that the trend in denim jackets is oversized right now, but somehow that doesn't strike me as something that is key to your style. &nbsp;Maybe it' the colour that is throwing me off- I personally find pink difficult to wear in that it requires a lot of support (makeup, other strong colour around it to balance the sweetness factor) so I do acknowledge that. Why am I even chiming in here?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1855647 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 14:45:46 +0000 Angie 1855647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree 100% with <b>Approprio.</b>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1855640 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 14:17:55 +0000 JAileen 1855640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tina, thank you. I thought the second one was fine, but Angie said no.</p> <p>Joy, thank you. I do like figure flattery. I don't like it when my clothes make me look fat, but it seems impossible with winter clothes.</p> <p>Jenni, thank you. A bender - you might be right. The thing about pink is I am attracted to pale pink, not hot pink. So finding the right shade is difficult. </p> <p>Approprio, thank you. I think it does fit in my casual wardrobe. I just have to decide just how much I really love it. It is quite wrinkled, and heavy, but the shearling feels heavenly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1855569 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 07:48:28 +0000 approprio 1855569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this jacket for its unusual colour and shearling detail and I think you've got the right size here. The classic jeans jacket is oversized this year, which is probably why you needed to size down.</p> <p>And it will fit right in. It's consistent with your style and you can dress it up or down. If you love it, I think it will go a long way. Thumbs up here!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1855568 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 06:14:20 +0000 Jenni NZ 1855568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I'm with The Cat and Joy here. I think the jacket fits best of the 3 but I don't feel it does anything for you. If you love it go for it anyway! Seeing as you're on a pink bender... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1855563 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 05:24:16 +0000 Anonymous 1855563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good but not great. It looks ok and functional but not flattering. If you like it and it meets your needs, keep. Otherwise keep looking. I do think you could get lots of use out of this jacket. Follow your instincts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1855552 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 04:26:31 +0000 Tina 1855552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this one fits very well! Good for you for persevering, I would likely have given up or settled on the ‘almost’ right one.<br /> As for the colour, I really like it! It’s something different and it suits the style and fabric, plus it looks good on you:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1855495 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 23:35:01 +0000 JAileen 1855495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skylurker, thank you for your opinion. it does feel smaller than the second one.</p> <p>Donna, it passes both tests. I don't think I have dysmorphia. First off, I'm not petite, I'm 5'6". The first jacket was my normal size, a 10. I was surprised how big it was. This one is size 6. I last wore that size about 25 years ago. I just think their sizing is way off.</p> <p>Karen and Suze, thank you. I'm glad you both can tell the difference.</p> <p>Cat, thank you. I suppose this jacket must seem odd. But it is a jean jacket style which I like, plus it's pink which lately I've been very attracted to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1855483 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 22:36:30 +0000 The Cat 1855483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it is a little smaller and a little less wrinkled. But I'm sorry, I just don't think this jacket is a great choice. I wish that someone in this forum could help you find a jacket which will suit you better and harmonize with your otherwise fab style. What about this jacket attracts you in particular--is it the colour, the fabric, the lines/shape, the details, or something else? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1855467 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 21:05:29 +0000 Suz 1855467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This one is much better, assuming it passes all tests and you can layer with it as you wish!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1855459 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 20:41:29 +0000 karen13 1855459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This one is better! The sleeve length looks better and the body looks a bit more fitted when buttoned, but definitely not too tight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1855456 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 20:01:42 +0000 DonnaF 1855456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting that this one seems to have arrived with fewer wrinkles than #2. Looks the best by far. Assuming it passes the sit down and hug tests?</p> <p>I seem to recall that you said you had lost weight in the not too distant past. I wonder if there’s a bit of dysmorphia causing you to buy clothing a bit too big? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1855437 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 17:08:57 +0000 skylurker 1855437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Euh...honestly, I don’t see the difference with post #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kre-pink-jacket-update---third-times-a-charm#post-1855433 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 16:54:33 +0000 JAileen 1855433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the third jacket. The first one was ginormous, the second one was generous, is this one just right?
