I hope they work out for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-you-still-serious-about-that-denim-jacket-swap#post-67785 Wed, 27 May 2009 07:43:52 +0000 Michelle 67785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Ana, for the links. I definitely love the idea of a denim blazer, but I'm wondering if that will look too formal. I tend to look dressy most of the time and maybe need a more laid-back look on occasion? Or not? Y'all will know best about that. :)<br /> As for Kristen's jackets, looks like I'll have to give these a go. Kristen, if you want to get in touch, it's: michelle dot mcquigge at gmail dot com </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-you-still-serious-about-that-denim-jacket-swap#post-67707 Tue, 26 May 2009 23:35:17 +0000 Angie 67707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely worth a try Michelle, and I like Ana's suggestions too. Can’t wait to see you model them for us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-you-still-serious-about-that-denim-jacket-swap#post-67619 Tue, 26 May 2009 17:45:21 +0000 Inge 67619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket Kristen and Michelle, in both colours! I think you should definitely give them a go Michelle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-you-still-serious-about-that-denim-jacket-swap#post-67618 Tue, 26 May 2009 17:43:51 +0000 Ana 67618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Kristen's jackets could work, but you might need to have them altered so they are more fitted in the waist. I have a denim jacket that was straight down and kind of boxy when I bought it, but I had to have it altered. I think I'd like to see you in a denim blazer style jacket--something with more waist definition. My absolute favorite outfits of yours are the dresses and tops that cinch in a bit at the waist. It's a very flattering look for you (me too). Have you considered something like a denim blazer? Here are a couple that represent what I had in mind:</p> <p><a href="http://www1.talbots.com/talbotsonline/product/itempage.aspx?item=D283986&#038;PFID=1424&#038;XID=S20091451100152CE0004BDB424F5197ED8F&#038;h=M&#038;sk=M" rel="nofollow">http://www1.talbots.com/talbot.....&#038;sk=M</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.newport-news.com/shop/product_single.aspx?style_id=34299206&#038;index=6&#038;gp_coll_id=9&#038;gp_cat_id=1649&#038;nav_cat_id=8264&#038;category_id=8265&#038;gp_fashcoll_id=5637&#038;s_cmp=affiliate_newport_all" rel="nofollow">http://www.newport-news.com/sh.....ewport_all</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-you-still-serious-about-that-denim-jacket-swap#post-67540 Tue, 26 May 2009 13:09:40 +0000 Michelle 67540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ana! You're right, I don't think we've ever communicated directly. I've got a bunch of pics up in other threads, but here's a link to my YLF photo album.. You'll find all the most recent shots in there. </p> <p><a href="http://s709.photobucket.com/albums/ww100/flowerstrewn/YLF_pics/" rel="nofollow">http://s709.photobucket.com/al...../YLF_pics/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-you-still-serious-about-that-denim-jacket-swap#post-67471 Tue, 26 May 2009 02:22:13 +0000 Ana 67471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look like nice jackets! Michelle, I don't think I've ever seen a photo of you, so I'm not sure whether they would work on you or not. Do you mind posting a photo in this thread? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-you-still-serious-about-that-denim-jacket-swap#post-67456 Tue, 26 May 2009 00:53:06 +0000 Michelle 67456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, Kristen. Looking forward to feedback as to whether this style would work on me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-you-still-serious-about-that-denim-jacket-swap#post-67449 Tue, 26 May 2009 00:28:24 +0000 Kristen 67449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, jeez, I forgot to give more detail about the jackets! They're both in the same style so it'll be easy.</p> <p>Moto collar, epaulets on the shoulders. Pockets on the chest area, but they don't flap out, they lie flat very nicely. There are also two smaller internal pockets in the front bottom. The back does have a banded line at the waist. The hem sits, well it USED to sit at the top of my hipbone LOL, making this jacket better for pants than skirts. </p> <p>Let me know if you have any questions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-you-still-serious-about-that-denim-jacket-swap#post-67443 Tue, 26 May 2009 00:07:05 +0000 Kristen 67443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, here are the pics! Someone else will have to chime and give their guesstimates for fit; I used myself as the model, and I'm swimming in both jackets! Heheheh. But I do know when I did fit into them that they were a little fitted at the waist; not as much as a traditional jean jacket would be, but they were very flattering on me. They are size XL, from Forth &#38; Towne. </p> <p>The dark wash (probably more of a medium, really) is a thinner material than the white; I loved the white on cooler spring and fall days, since I mostly wore it as an outdoor jacket. But several of the women I worked with at F&#38;T wore it as part of the indoor outfit, and it looked terrific on them.</p> <p>White: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/3564176309/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....564176309/</a><br /> Dark: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/3564994460/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....otostream/</a><br /> Dark, closed: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/3564176841/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....otostream/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-you-still-serious-about-that-denim-jacket-swap#post-67433 Mon, 25 May 2009 23:19:53 +0000 Angie 67433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-you-still-serious-about-that-denim-jacket-swap#post-67331 Mon, 25 May 2009 09:37:20 +0000 Michelle 67331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome, thanks so much. If you think it'll get more feedback to start a new thread with the pics, go ahead and do that. For the life of me, I can't seem to figure out how to update an actual posting or its subject once it's up, I can only seem to edit comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-you-still-serious-about-that-denim-jacket-swap#post-67326 Mon, 25 May 2009 09:27:00 +0000 Kristen 67326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely, I will get a picture of it up today! I have one in cream and one in dark wash; I can't lay my hands on the dark wash one right this second, they are both in the same style. They're actually moto-style in the collar, meaning there is a small one-inch band around the neck instead of a traditional button-down-like collar. They are also both buttoned and I believe both have pockets on the chest. (The white one does for sure, I just checked.) But I am busty too and they looked great on me!</p> <p>Photos and better descriptions will follow later. I am also putting together a box of 16s/Ls for my sister, and 18 tops for a co-worker who's been losing, so your timing is perfect! I need to dig through my boxes of clothes anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristenkp-you-still-serious-about-that-denim-jacket-swap#post-67322 Mon, 25 May 2009 05:34:20 +0000 Michelle 67322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some time ago, Kristen offered to swap her pre-weight-loss denim jackets, as they sound like they'd be about the right size for me with my current dimentions. Somewhere in the thread below she has kindly posted pictures of them. I'd appreciate feedback as to whether or not these would work on my body. I thought I should stay away from chest pockets considering my bust size, but perhaps these work? All input appreciated. </p>
