Green matched with yellow is so yum! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-vember-jacket-challenge-days-5-6-gap-utility-gibson-malachite#post-767840 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 08:28:08 +0000 ElleH 767840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the boots but not for indoor work boots. I like both jackets &amp; wouldn't purge the army green one. The second one reminds me of one that Angie had in today's blog post on shiny pants. I love the jacketless outfit too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-vember-jacket-challenge-days-5-6-gap-utility-gibson-malachite#post-767737 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 05:24:55 +0000 ritu 767737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-vember-jacket-challenge-days-5-6-gap-utility-gibson-malachite#post-767735 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 05:22:33 +0000 goldenpig 767735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That green malachite jacket is amazing! You look so great in colored stones (agate, malachite...) Too bad the boots were too warm. They look like a mini version of my Aquatalia rain boots! Hope you find something you like better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-vember-jacket-challenge-days-5-6-gap-utility-gibson-malachite#post-767727 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 05:09:00 +0000 Freckles 767727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jacket in one Rae. I find it has a very different vibe to a denim jacket.</p> <p>Cute boots but they don't seem to suit your climate and lifestyle. Better luck with the next ones, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-vember-jacket-challenge-days-5-6-gap-utility-gibson-malachite#post-767681 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 03:31:15 +0000 Transcona Shannon 767681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boots are fab looking Rae but I'm glad you're returning them - I think they'd be way too hot for hours indoors. </p> <p>Love the outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-vember-jacket-challenge-days-5-6-gap-utility-gibson-malachite#post-767658 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 02:47:34 +0000 Diana 767658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm enjoying seeing all your jackets this month! Is that the green Gibson jacket from today's blog post? It looks fab!</p> <p>The boots look cool but if they are already warm just wearing for a few minutes in the house, I think they'll definitely be too hot and sweaty for a full day at work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-vember-jacket-challenge-days-5-6-gap-utility-gibson-malachite#post-767626 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 02:06:02 +0000 Aida 767626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm I think of jackets as a pretty paramount element to your style. If the jacket is still loved and still getting wear then I would say keep it. You could always replace it via 1-in-1-out if another jacket love comes along :)</p> <p>I'd say stick it out for your usual guy if you like his cutting style for you. It'll be worth it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-vember-jacket-challenge-days-5-6-gap-utility-gibson-malachite#post-767624 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 02:03:08 +0000 rae 767624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhhh, okay... the boots are going back! I can't get all wrapped up in a boot that "does it all" if does it all includes making my feet sweat at work. o_0 Angie pick Melin patent booties are on their way thanks to Nordstrom online chat, and I will order the Kork-Ease as well if/when I ever get my discount sorted. </p> <p>Aida, I was in a purge mindset mainly because I counted all my jackets (including blazers) and realized that I have 27. On one hand, I feel like that's way more than one person needs. On the other hand, they are so useful in my climate and for my style. Tough call.</p> <p>AND, I really cannot wait to chop, too! Considering even going to the more expensive guy, just because he's closer and more convenient. He is no better than my usual guy, IMO, but definitely no worse. And he's right down the street... *bites nails* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-vember-jacket-challenge-days-5-6-gap-utility-gibson-malachite#post-767610 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 01:48:25 +0000 Aida 767610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay to the outfits, especially today's with the brilliant emerald blazer! The first jacket looks like a great casual jacket,why were you thinking of purging? I'm with Una on the boots, these don't seem like they'd work for your needs here. And still digging the messy hair, I cannot WAIT for the chop!! *rubs hands together excitedly* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-vember-jacket-challenge-days-5-6-gap-utility-gibson-malachite#post-767586 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 01:12:33 +0000 bj1111 767586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oops...yeah, you don't want sweaty feet. plus warm feet would increase circulation and vasodilation. boom! puffy feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-vember-jacket-challenge-days-5-6-gap-utility-gibson-malachite#post-767531 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 00:24:58 +0000 catgirl 767531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm holding out for the other two pairs. These are okay but I don't thnk they fit your needs. Love the outfits! Go jacket challenge - I'm feeling inspired and am on track so far! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-vember-jacket-challenge-days-5-6-gap-utility-gibson-malachite#post-767505 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 23:54:40 +0000 Suz 767505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love today's outfit! </p> <p>I really like the boots, too, but I wouldn't choose them for indoor wear. They look as if they'd be great for some of our Seattle/ Vancouver sisters, however! Very fun and nice looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-vember-jacket-challenge-days-5-6-gap-utility-gibson-malachite#post-767492 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 23:41:03 +0000 rae 767492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I mean physical heat retention. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-vember-jacket-challenge-days-5-6-gap-utility-gibson-malachite#post-767489 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 23:35:48 +0000 bj1111 767489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think i have a coarser color calibration than you do....this would be burgundy to me, but i do see the plumminess now that you point it out.</p> <p>i don't get the warmth aspect. these look pretty cool tones on my monitor? or are you talking about its heat retention properties? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-vember-jacket-challenge-days-5-6-gap-utility-gibson-malachite#post-767484 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 23:31:09 +0000 rae 767484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Got a little backed up with my challenge photos!</p> <p>Yesterday, I chose to pair my uniform tee with earth tones. This jacket was initially pegged for donation, but I also felt like it would be a purge for the sake of purging. I guess it could still go, as it kind of serves the same function as a denim jacket. Will have to decide later in the month. </p> <p>Today, I went to the Official new-hire orientation for my company, which took place at a full line store - yay, no uniform! There was some guy in the alley when I got home, so I had to make do with an indoor shot. </p> <p>In other news, the Rockport rain boots were the first of my possible "fun boots" to arrive. I was pleased to see that they claim to be anti-fungal, anti-mold, and anti-mildew. They are very, VERY comfy - zero toe pinching and a great arch curve! - however the color is more of a plum/eggplant than burgundy, and they are pretty darn warm. Would be great as a rain boot (which is their purpose), but I'm on the fence about crossing over into everyday wear. I don't think I'll return them quite yet, but I am not 100% sold. </p>
