I do have a few weeks in which I can return, but for the moment, I am keeping it (just will cost more to return separately) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-kr--a-zippy-bolero#post-611814 Fri, 04 May 2012 01:13:36 +0000 anne 611814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I am heading off to town in about 45 mins, so if anyone want to weigh in, do so now...</p> <p>I had great ideas of getting up early and doing some styling pics before DH left for work but that didn't work out!</p> <p>Thanks Suz for your incisive observations </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-kr--a-zippy-bolero#post-611317 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:57:55 +0000 Suz 611317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, I think the problems others have noted may be entirely due to camera angle. I have a feeling that styled properly, this could be cool. As another small-busted person I like the idea of adding some volume there. It's definitely a statement piece, but you can use a few of those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-kr--a-zippy-bolero#post-611288 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:34:52 +0000 anne 611288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie !!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-kr--a-zippy-bolero#post-611283 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:32:13 +0000 Angie 611283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first reaction was that I love it on you, Anne - and I am sticking with it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-kr--a-zippy-bolero#post-611238 Thu, 03 May 2012 13:38:25 +0000 anne 611238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Brown.</p> <p>ManidipaM - I should point out that I do actually have quite straight shoulders - I am a strong shouldered lass, though not quite IT. So it takes quite a bit to make them look narrow - and perhaps a sleeve with some volume could help. as you suggest. (I quite like narrow shoulders myself, on the grass is greener principle!)</p> <p>I think you might be right that the bulk is a little too low - this is bulking up my slimmest body section.</p> <p>Hoping Angie might chime in, if poss? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-kr--a-zippy-bolero#post-611209 Thu, 03 May 2012 12:52:24 +0000 ManidipaM 611209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure, Anne. The angle would be misleading, but I suspect the volume is being added just a little too low. I LOVE the idea of this garment and in isolation would completely see the attraction of it, but the way it's fitting you is not going to make it too easy to style. </p> <p>Mind you, it can still be a success and a stellar one I think --- but it's not a 'throw on and go' piece; it does require some balancing. Like Rae said, a dress would help to balance it's volume, or maybe a top with stronger shoulder detail --- wonder if you saw the lace one Kirti posted for opinions yesterday, which might address the narrow shoulder issue your husband mentions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-kr--a-zippy-bolero#post-611198 Thu, 03 May 2012 12:24:26 +0000 brown 611198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Anne...you look great....:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-kr--a-zippy-bolero#post-611186 Thu, 03 May 2012 11:27:48 +0000 anne 611186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jayne - interesting. I am very small in the bust department so that area can take enhancement! DH says it makes my shoulders look small, which he doesn't like.</p> <p>bj - that is my fear.</p> <p>I have arou)nd 14 hours before I plan to head off to the post office (to return) so I'd love to hear some more responses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-kr--a-zippy-bolero#post-611164 Thu, 03 May 2012 07:44:53 +0000 bj1111 611164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>too foufy...also seems to add needless bulk to the torso. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-kr--a-zippy-bolero#post-611147 Thu, 03 May 2012 06:35:06 +0000 jayne 611147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, I am for Return. I actually bought something similar a couple years back and never wore it. But those ruffles are too girly for MY style. My daughter uses it now and on her long slender frame it works great! I didn't need the extra volume on top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-kr--a-zippy-bolero#post-611083 Thu, 03 May 2012 04:30:06 +0000 anne 611083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rae and Joy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-kr--a-zippy-bolero#post-611071 Thu, 03 May 2012 04:22:31 +0000 Anonymous 611071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on the fence. I think it depends on how you feel wearing it. If you love it and want to wear it right now, keep. If you feel like it's just ok, pass and keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-kr--a-zippy-bolero#post-611069 Thu, 03 May 2012 04:22:16 +0000 rae 611069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, it's a lot of volume... not sure if I like it with the shirt and jeans, but maybe with a dress? Something about the length and un-fitted-ness seems like it might go with dresses better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-kr--a-zippy-bolero#post-611024 Thu, 03 May 2012 03:28:23 +0000 anne 611024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. One yes and one no!!</p> <p>Deborah - I don't own a longsleeved white buttondown!! I do have a short sleeve puffed sleeve one. But turtlenecks - for sure!!</p> <p>Kellygirl - sleek is definitely more my usual style. I am not sure these zippers would stick - they are plastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-kr--a-zippy-bolero#post-610971 Thu, 03 May 2012 02:36:42 +0000 kellygirl 610971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not crazy about it. I had a zipper rosette hand bag that scratched and snagged everything it came in contact with. DD's thought it was a weapon. The vest is interesting but in the thumbnail photos looks kind of misshapen--I'd return for something sleeker. Just my 2 cents. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-kr--a-zippy-bolero#post-610958 Thu, 03 May 2012 02:23:33 +0000 Deborah 610958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne never apologise for posting a lot. I like this vest. It's different but not over the top. I could see this over a crisp white button down with the collar popped. Also over a turtleneck. It is not too bulky. I like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-kr--a-zippy-bolero#post-610949 Thu, 03 May 2012 02:12:25 +0000 anne 610949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This appealed to me in the catalogue<br /> <a href="http://www.ezibuy.com.au/womens-clothing/jackets-coats-vests/vests-denim-leather/grace-hill-zip-vest-80661.shtm" rel="nofollow">http://www.ezibuy.com.au/women.....80661.shtm</a> (I got it for cheaper than this)</p> <p>because my style is so plain and I like the idea of adding a little embellishment.</p> <p>But now it has come, I am just not sure. It seems VERY bulky. It can't be fastened up, btw</p> <p>I'd love to hear your thoughts</p> <p>Sorry to have posted so much today - I just need to know whether this one will be heading back along with the coat </p>
