And you're right, it just looks "so you" as well. The fabric looks gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-a-statement#post-112040 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 20:26:29 +0000 Kristen 112040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all!</p> <p>Sarah, let us know if the jacket worked for you. We can be M+O twins!</p> <p>Angie, did you get the jacket itself, or did you already have something available in your closet? How did you style it? I love stealing from you when I can!</p> <p>Inge, trust me, I wouldn't have picked it on my own. It was the saleswoman's suggestion! But if you ever come to Chicago, I would gladly go shopping with you. :)</p> <p>I just inherited a ton of new jackets and pants from Shopping Friend, so this jacket has some stiff competition in my closet. I think it can take 'em all on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-a-statement#post-112013 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 17:50:35 +0000 Alecia 112013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE it! It's particularly awesome with that yellow turtleneck. Great find and great story about how you got it. Way to take a bit of a risk. It totally paid off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-a-statement#post-111935 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 05:05:58 +0000 Kari 111935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know I mentioned this directly on your blog post, but I just LOVE that jacket and am impressed at how well it flatters you, particularly in spite of the pockets that you said would normally be problematic. It is totally your style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-a-statement#post-111932 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 04:50:27 +0000 greenglove 111932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look just fabulous, that jacket suits you so well, a great statement piece!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-a-statement#post-111922 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 03:45:28 +0000 Debbie 111922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your jacket, A great statenebt piece.

That jacket is a great piece. It's classic, and so versatile, but could be styled with a bit of an edge if you were ever so inclined. Fantastic, as usual! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-a-statement#post-111800 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:31:55 +0000 shana 111800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen, that jacket is perfection on you!

Shout-out to my Chicago-area peeps: ask for Cindy if you go to Martin + Osa at Old Orchard: she is fabulous at finding just the right piece for you within seconds.</p> <p><a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2009/12/thursday-making-statement.html" rel="nofollow">http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.....ement.html</a> </p>
