I don't have white jeans currently, but I plan to get some probably next spring. I will keep looking for light bottoms because I can see such a great use for them this fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-recent-purcases-crs-please#post-22742 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 19:39:31 +0000 shiny 22742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the velvet jacket is absolutely scrumptious on you. The color is amazing. </p> <p>The tartine cardi is my second favorite. I love, love, love patterned cardis and went overboard last year. Agree you might need a pop of color underneath. Needn't be a cami- I like that you paired it with a blouse. Just need one that has more color. Also recommend you try belting this for a different look. </p> <p>The tunic: I think you've said before that browns flatter your skin tone. I also often gravitate towards browns myself. This is a good basic and has layering potential; if you love it and feel confident in it, then keep it. I don't think it needs a cami - does it? It may look even better without one. And maybe instead of a necklace, pile on some bracelets? Or pull your hair up and wear some dramatic earrings? </p> <p>How does the tunic look with white jeans? I bet it would look fab. Hmm.... if this was in my closet, I'd pair it with my white jeans and my giraffe print pumps.... I'd go minimal on the jewelry and make the shoes the focal point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-recent-purcases-crs-please#post-22741 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 19:33:43 +0000 Anonymous 22741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a little late.</p> <p>Leopard cardigan - 9.5 I LOVE this look. I actually like it with the white blouse. By the way, the jeans are amazing on you.<br /> Brown tunic - 7.5 It's nice, but I would have liked it a little longer.<br /> Velvet blazer - 8.5 I like it a lot. I actually have last year's version of this velvet blazer from J.crew. I have it in black and it is similar except it has three leather buttons, and no pockets. I get a lot of wear out of mine, and I hope you will too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-recent-purcases-crs-please#post-22667 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 14:33:32 +0000 Amanda 22667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dani, I think all the pieces look really good on you. I bought the same jacket at JCrew this week -- the fabric and color is so rich. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-recent-purcases-crs-please#post-22655 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 12:45:51 +0000 Laura 22655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Dani - I am loving them! They look great on you - I am going to check them out. I don't know if our Nordie's carries them. I am just north of Chicago and the downtown Nordies is definitely better than our North Shore one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-recent-purcases-crs-please#post-22588 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 02:15:02 +0000 Nicole 22588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Dani....no apology necessary--silly goose!</p> <p>OK that explains why I like them so much. (HUGE Tahari fan). </p> <p>Since I'm going to Nordstrom on Sunday, I'm going to see about buying them. I'm either going to splurge on a pair of jeans, or a pair of boots (or both). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-recent-purcases-crs-please#post-22586 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 02:11:48 +0000 Dani 22586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Arrgh...sorry, Nicole...see my memory is terrible too! I completely forgot while I was responding :)</p> <p>The jeans are Tahari:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2984053?Category=&#038;Search=True&#038;SearchType=keywordsearch&#038;keyword=tahari+jeans+in+All+Categories&#038;origin=searchresults" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/29.....rchresults</a></p> <p>The description says low rise but they definitely are mid rise. They feel great on and have just the right amount of stretch. I've already worn them for an entire day and they didn't grow at all.</p> <p>Sorry again for forgetting to respond to that question Thanks for the compliment, Laura. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-recent-purcases-crs-please#post-22584 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 02:07:40 +0000 Nicole 22584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Soooooooo about those jeans???? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-recent-purcases-crs-please#post-22581 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 02:04:02 +0000 Laura 22581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dani, what brand of jeans are those? They are super cute on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-recent-purcases-crs-please#post-22575 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 01:53:06 +0000 Dani 22575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone. It's interesting...my favorite item was the tunic because it brought color to my face and looked great with my complexion. I, too, wish it were a little longer, but it looks nice belted so I can wear it with skirts too. I was on the fence about the leopard print cardi because I wasn't sure about the color on me. I'll try to jazz it up with a more colorful blouse underneath. I really love the jacket and think it will look better with some other items in my closet. </p> <p>This was really helpful, thank you so much for your input </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-recent-purcases-crs-please#post-22550 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 01:11:01 +0000 Angie 22550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh la la! LOVE the leopard cardi. It gets a 9.5. Beautiful!</p> <p>I like the tunic too. It gets an 8. The velvet jacket is pretty too. It scores another 8. </p> <p>Your jeans are SO FAB. They score 10, 10, 10. You need those in brown, grey and cream. (If only). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-recent-purcases-crs-please#post-22472 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 22:05:26 +0000 Julia 22472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dani it's great to see your new clothes! Here's my 2 cents:</p> <p>1. I love the JCrew cardi a lot, it can be worn with so many things and it fits you so well. I'd give it a solid 9.</p> <p>2. I'm not crazy about this tunic for some reason, it could be the light but I don't think the color makes your porcelain skin shine, also as mentioned above it could be a little longer for a tunic. I'd give it a 7.</p> <p>3. The jacket fits well and you rock in that color. I love that you paired it with white blouse and jeans. I give it a 8.5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-recent-purcases-crs-please#post-22449 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 20:55:01 +0000 Sarah 22449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dani, I was just wondering if you needed a cami underneath and if so, maybe you could try various colors? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-recent-purcases-crs-please#post-22446 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 20:48:55 +0000 Nicole 22446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice choices Dani!</p> <p>I give the cardi a 9.<br /> I give the tunic an 8. (I wish it were a tad longer, just so it was more of a true tunic). I think it needs a brighter necklace though.<br /> I give the velvet jacket an 8 also.</p> <p>I love your jeans--what brand are they--I assume they are straight leg? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-recent-purcases-crs-please#post-22445 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 20:39:29 +0000 Dani 22445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback. I'll try the cardigan with a more colorful blouse. </p> <p>The jacket does fasten, I just didn't have it that way for the photo. </p> <p>Sarah, what do you mean by something under the tunic? I've got a cami on underneath, were you thinking something with a collar? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-recent-purcases-crs-please#post-22378 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:41:43 +0000 julijuli 22378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dani - I'm jealous. I think the Tartine cardigan is beautiful, I have that on my list. I would give it a 9 because I think maybe it needs a different top under. I love the tunic, but I wonder if you need a shot of color somewhere to make it 'pop'? I'd give it an 8. Finally, the jacket is amazing, it looks really rich. A 10 in my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-recent-purcases-crs-please#post-22377 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:39:09 +0000 Sarah 22377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Ecole jacket. I'm saving for the honey glaze color. I think it looks great on you, I'd just want to make sure you were able to button it - even if you don't ever plan to. I give this a 9.<br /> I like the snow leopard tartine cardi, but I'm not sure about the blouse with it. It almost needs more color? With the right top, I'd give this an 8.<br /> I do like the dream tunic - what are you wearing underneath it? Do you need to wear something under it? I give this an 8.5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-recent-purcases-crs-please#post-22375 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:36:13 +0000 Tanya 22375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dani, I love your new purchases. They all fit you very well. How does the jacket look buttoned? I'd give the Tartine cardigan and jacket a 9 and the tunic get's a 8. Very pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-recent-purcases-crs-please#post-22369 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:17:37 +0000 Dani 22369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was able to get a few more photos last night so here are a few more items for review:</p> <p>This is the snow leopard J Crew tartine cardigan with a tie neck blouse underneath:<br /> <a href="http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn119/dixiegirlYLF/Purchases/8-28-08%20J%20Crew/P8270410.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i302.photobucket.com/al.....270410.jpg</a></p> <p>The dream tunic in hazelnut:<br /> <a href="http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn119/dixiegirlYLF/Purchases/8-28-08%20J%20Crew/P8270413.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i302.photobucket.com/al.....270413.jpg</a></p> <p>The velvet ecole jacket in tawny olive:<br /> <a href="http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn119/dixiegirlYLF/Purchases/8-28-08%20J%20Crew/P8270416.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i302.photobucket.com/al.....270416.jpg</a></p> <p>I will reserve my opinions so as not to bias anyone Feel free to use CRS!
