I'm not crazy:)</p> <p>I love the idea of pairing this with lighter colors.</p> <p>Meredith great suggestions, and Kyle I thought about a belt and I will try that:)</p> <p>Angie, you are the expert and I will try what you suggest. I think it could great with my white jeans but it's toomcold here for them at the moment. I will try a column of denim under it, or even my ink blue blouse and see how it looks. I do understand what you ar<br /> e saying about the black:)</p> <p>Suz, I have almost no grey in my wardrobe. With my cobalt jeans would be wild, what about over my red jeans???</p> <p>Christy thanknyou for affirming my sanity.</p> <p>Denise this label is not cheap and my mum has some lovely suits, pants and jackets from this label and she always looks lovely, but there is something in the cut that is more<br /> for the mature woman. Having said that, some of their older pieces, found in thrift stores can be quite retro and very cool looking.</p> <p>Una, I don't know Eileen Fisher but I'm off to google her, thanks.</p> <p>Christieanne, thank you, im going to try your suggestions. Looks like I may need to add some grey to my closet?</p> <p>Shevia, thank you and it looks like lighter colors are the go:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613717 Mon, 07 May 2012 00:18:03 +0000 Jaime 613717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see anything old lady about this jacket, and I think you look great here. I would like to see it with some of the lighter colors suggested above. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613648 Sun, 06 May 2012 21:13:17 +0000 christieanne 613648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that color so much. Can you pair with chambray, gray or white? It's sort of minimalist with the black but so dark for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613643 Sun, 06 May 2012 21:06:32 +0000 catgirl 613643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late here but I l love it! Very Eileen Fisher at her best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613625 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:52:07 +0000 Transcona Shannon 613625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your fab styling will keep this pretty jacket from entering "old lady" Deborah! I love Angie's idea of pairing it with white - it would be so fresh looking. Would also look great with dark wash denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613508 Sun, 06 May 2012 18:01:39 +0000 CocoLion 613508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not frumpy! I would never have guessed it's from an old-lady brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613457 Sun, 06 May 2012 16:51:46 +0000 christy 613457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could never look like an old lady! I think it's a great jacket and I really like how you've styled it here. I love the idea of pairing it with white - but maybe that's too summery as you are heading into fall? In any case, I really like it and no, you have not lost your mind! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613454 Sun, 06 May 2012 16:48:53 +0000 Suz 613454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh - put it with cobalt!! </p> <p>And do you have any greys for fall? Or eggplant type colours? </p> <p>I don't think it looks a BIT old lady. You'll get cross seasonal wear from it, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613414 Sun, 06 May 2012 15:54:18 +0000 Angie 613414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the jacket, Deborah! Do not prefer it with black though as it takes away from the freshness of the colour. To my eye, it needs to be paired with softer colours like blue and white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613400 Sun, 06 May 2012 15:33:01 +0000 jayne 613400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That styling of the sharp boots makes it anything but frumpy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613396 Sun, 06 May 2012 15:25:09 +0000 Kyle 613396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NOT old lady, no way. I like it with the black, and it would look really fresh and crisp with white in summer, say if you need something in the air conditioning. I wonder what it would look like with a belt underneath the knit jacket just to emphasize your waist more? The necklace and scarf are both nice touches to add another lighter element. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613394 Sun, 06 May 2012 15:22:16 +0000 cheryl 613394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! You look fantastic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613388 Sun, 06 May 2012 14:49:34 +0000 Makrame 613388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great to me as you styled it - no "old lady" vibe at all, crisp and structured. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613355 Sun, 06 May 2012 13:38:43 +0000 Meredith1953 613355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah!<br /> It ooks perfectly lovely! It really is all how you style it and you have done a wonderful job in both photos. Couldn't you do the same thing combining it with cream? I mean I know black makes it "pop" but cream would be a nice way to bring it into your closet during the much warmer months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613352 Sun, 06 May 2012 13:34:36 +0000 Janet 613352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just goes to show, styling makes all the difference! I like the way you've put it with edgier pieces to take away any old-lady factor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613338 Sun, 06 May 2012 13:01:05 +0000 Fruitful 613338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the lime Deborah, and I doubt Fella Hamilton would have styled it like this. You bring in some edge with your boots and skinnies and popped collar, and the effect is gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613325 Sun, 06 May 2012 11:46:11 +0000 JennyAnne 613325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It really looks like what I would call a cardi from here. Is it a knit or a woven fabric? Very pretty! I never would have guessed it's from a "mature" label. Paired with all basic black, it really pops. Lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613314 Sun, 06 May 2012 11:00:10 +0000 Deborah 613314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So far so good!</p> <p>Ginko, Kiwichik, Mani &amp; Jen thanks so much for your thoughts and I'm thrilled you think this works. I figured if it didn't I could always give it to my mum, but I think the color would be too much for her lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613305 Sun, 06 May 2012 09:48:51 +0000 jen 613305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Its gorgeous, I think you really know what suits you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613303 Sun, 06 May 2012 07:28:11 +0000 ManidipaM 613303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I'm pretty sure the colour and the bold combination with black (as opposed to a paler, wishy-washy neutral) militates against any datedness! LOVE this on you, especially with the scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613298 Sun, 06 May 2012 05:59:16 +0000 Kiwichik 613298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket works with he simple pearls and the scarf. It's such a statement piece simple is best and it certainly doesn't look like an old lady Jacket at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613297 Sun, 06 May 2012 05:46:31 +0000 Ginkgo 613297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the simplicity of it also! And nothing could look old lady when paired with those high black boots. With your sleek, minimalist style and black color scheme this works for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lime-love#post-613296 Sun, 06 May 2012 05:33:52 +0000 Deborah 613296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies,</p> <p>I bought this with part of my May Madness SYC thrifting budget!</p> <p>It's a knit jacket in what I think you would call lime :). It's in excellent condition (as new) and, (Aussie girls no laughing) it's by Fella Hamilton which is a beautiful label aimed at women my mum's age!!</p> <p>Now is probably the time to confess to a love of "old lady jackets"!! </p> <p>I was attracted to the simplicity of the jacket, the color, the shape and the streamline of it.</p> <p>My intent is to wear it over black and keep it all very simple. I have had a play and #1 and #2 are just my initial ideas for styling.</p> <p>WDYT? Can I wear this color? Does it work? Do I look like I'm wearing an old lady jacket? Frump factor? I haven't left the house in this yet :)</p> <p>Really appreciate your opinions</p> <p>xxx</p> <p>Deborah</p> <p>Ps... I love it, but need to know if I have lost my mind:) and if I have you need to tell me! </p>
