I have always loved the versatile lapels on jackets like this. I think it really works with the horizontal stripes and lighter jeans.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am not loving the fit when its&nbsp;closed. I think you may need to size up if you want to wear it closed otherwise it looks great&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004976 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 16:29:11 +0000 Sara L. 1004976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the look on you!&nbsp; Maybe the snap can be moved so it doesn't pull when closed, but since you plan to wear it open anyway, it probably doesn't matter than much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004936 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:15:32 +0000 AviaMariah 1004936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great on you. &nbsp;I just got mine too so I'm on the caboose with you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004935 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:12:15 +0000 Lisa 1004935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect as styled here, big fat yes from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004910 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 14:50:55 +0000 Makrame 1004910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like on you, especially the way you styled it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004909 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 14:50:48 +0000 Anonymous 1004909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well for that price you can wear it through F/W on the weekends and then&nbsp;<i>make</i> money on it if/when you decide to consign it, lol! I think it's a great experiment. in the end, I think you're either going to feel it or not, and you'll know once you wear it in public a few times. Rest assured that it looks great on you and works for your style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004890 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 14:35:50 +0000 donnat 1004890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in that jacket. Keep, keep, keep </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004847 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 13:52:58 +0000 texstyle 1004847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also agree that it looks great on you!&nbsp; I had the same hesitation about asymmetrical styles - and I worried about it being too "tough" for me. But once I tried it on I realized that I could use a little tough - in fact I often turn away from clothing because it's too "sweet" with small florals or certain patterns, ruffles or other design attributes that I worry don't suit me. Maybe now&nbsp;I can wear some of those items with this jacket. I would wear it open probably all of the time&nbsp;and &nbsp;it only looks asymmetrical&nbsp; to me when it's closed. </p> <p>Plus it's so darned comfortable and I&nbsp;think the quality feels pretty good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004824 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 13:30:47 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1004824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks fantastic on you - you wear it well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004765 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 10:57:45 +0000 Caro in Oz 1004765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What rae said - I think it looks fab on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004751 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 09:52:17 +0000 Jjsloane 1004751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for all the encouragement to branch out of my preppy rut. I will give this a few more styling tries to be sure. I'm not sure what gives me the most pause, the unstructured, the drapeyness (way out of my comfort zone) or the asymmetry (I have poison eye for anything asymmetric). I have wanted a moto, but was thinking something structured and a lighter color or navy, but the ones I've found thus far have scuba necks and the collars drive me batty.<br />That's the one Rae! Hope you weren't offended by my poor imitation. I'll definitely have more fall mixing options once I start trading over my closets.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004664 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 03:55:01 +0000 kellygirl 1004664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, I love this on you. You can't be preppy 24/7! This is such a fun look for you. I think you should keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004653 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 03:45:18 +0000 rae 1004653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even Brooks Brothers are showing leather motos nowadays. I think you can definitely wear it with preppy classics for winter.&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA: is this the pic? :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004639 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 03:01:45 +0000 deb 1004639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it and for the price think it is worth keeping and playing around with. You never know if this is a style you will mover toward in your retirement years. (I only say this because that is what I thought when I ordered it for myself.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004634 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 02:50:44 +0000 Isis 1004634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great! &nbsp;Keep if you like the style change! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004588 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 01:38:19 +0000 pil 1004588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is worth keeping. You're just getting started with styling ideas and look terrific already. I love Gaylene's Brando comparison. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004585 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 01:32:34 +0000 cciele 1004585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I say Yay for sure. Different from your normal style, but you are rocking it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004557 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 00:35:01 +0000 catgirl 1004557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you will wear it, you look superbad in the best way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004554 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 00:28:18 +0000 Suz 1004554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I love it on you! I love the mix of classic stripes with the jeans and jacket. If it were me, I'd be wearing it all the time, but only you can decide if it's a winner for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004535 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 00:13:47 +0000 Diana 1004535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it and I think you look cool!&nbsp; And, hey, even a preppy has a rebellious streak once in a while, right?&nbsp; </p> <p>That snap pulls on me too.&nbsp; I'm pretty sure it's a design flaw since if it's doing it on tall you then it's not just that I'm too short for it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004534 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 00:13:04 +0000 Gaylene 1004534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are definitely giving off some Brando vibes in the first picture! For the price you paid, who cares if you can't wear it closed. Even preppy needs to walk on the wild side every now and again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004531 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 00:09:30 +0000 JenA 1004531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi!<br />You look so cool with this styling. And&nbsp;I think it looks fantastic open.&nbsp;I bought it too and, like you,&nbsp;it's unstructured for my usual style. I am keeping it because it's a new/different shape for me&nbsp;and I didn't spend too much to try it. While it's not preppy, I don't feel it's too 'costumey' for you either.&nbsp;However, if you don't think you'll wear it or if you&nbsp;have to "force" yourself to wear it, perhaps you should pass it along. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Keep us posted!</p> <p>Jen </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004513 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 23:31:27 +0000 Eliza 1004513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this on you. Kind of fun to experiment with it at a lower price point, even though I had a black moto on my master list previously. </p> <p>I think that the off-center lower snap is the problem for several of us, including me. As I mentioned in Una's thread earlier, I plan to either wear it open or snap the two top center snaps together and fold it down an inch or two for a different look. This achieved some drapiness. Will see if it makes sense to add a more centered towards the middle snap once I am wearing it more. </p> <p> YLF. Hope you enjoy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004502 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 23:09:53 +0000 goldenpig 1004502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey if even I can wear this jacket, anyone can! You look great in the jacket...too cool with the shades! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004493 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 23:00:01 +0000 Mo 1004493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it fits just fine! &nbsp;As for whether the prep in you likes it, I can't speak to. &nbsp;Sigh, I sure wish my FedEx people would come around . . .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bringing-up-the-caboose-on-the-spiegel-jacket-lemming-train#post-1004484 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 22:48:30 +0000 Jjsloane 1004484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you even stand another one? It really looks great on everyone. I got the best price ($34 shipped) and I do like the jacket. I'm just not sure if it's really my style and I don't have lemming/sale goggles. I need honest opinions so I can see if Deborah or someone else would like this one.<br />I only styled it based on an outfit I saw Rae wear (but can 't find now since there are 10,000 matches to "Spiegel draped jacket"). Kind of Marlon Brando in the day? Ok I found it&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/draped-striped-ripped-rusted-chopped-shifted">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ed-shifted</a><br />I got a 12 which is my normal jacket size (although for outerwear I usually size up for layering options)&nbsp;and it feels just right, but not oversized. I would never wear this closed (but have shown it in all its pulling glory). I don't think I would wear to work either which limits its wear even more for me.&nbsp;<br />Tell me true - can it work for this old preppy or is it more appropriate for someone else. <br />Yay =&nbsp;keep and enjoy. Nay = pass along</p>
