Just dropped DDoff in SoCal for college aand it was so warm. She didn’t bring any coats and maybe 2 sweaters. This isn’t Kansas anymore, Toto.</p> <p>But I do love Angie’s check option for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spotty-parcel-arrived#post-1953517 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 23:33:44 +0000 Kathie 1953517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for confirming that it’s a short coat. I’ve been very tempted by this one, but have learned from past mistakes that short coats just don’t get much wear in my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spotty-parcel-arrived#post-1953516 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 23:32:53 +0000 annagybe 1953516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ahhh poop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spotty-parcel-arrived#post-1953515 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 23:22:58 +0000 Christina F. 1953515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang! It’s cute on you, but your reasons for passing it in make sense to me. It’s always a shame to pass on a spotty parcel (I got one today too but had better luck, I think!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spotty-parcel-arrived#post-1953511 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 23:02:19 +0000 rachylou 1953511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like it. It gets cooler than the 60s but not 20 degrees cooler... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spotty-parcel-arrived#post-1953509 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 22:52:59 +0000 Jenn 1953509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, I don't think I could go down a size. My shoulders actually hit a little past the seam (just barely) and I'm nearly positive that a size smaller would be too tight across the back, just based on how this feels when I cross my arms. (And yes, it's a short coat, not a blazer, but I expected that.)</p> <p><b>Angie,&nbsp;</b>the long one would still be too warm, though the shape might be better. If I were staying in Colorado, I'd consider it, but I'm skeptical of the puffy shoulders.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spotty-parcel-arrived#post-1953507 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 22:45:57 +0000 Roberta 1953507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you too - what would you think about going down a size? The shoulders and bust look roomy (to my eyes). They're definitely selling it as a warm jacket, not a blazer.</p> <p>I completely endorse leopard scarves in various weights and textiles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spotty-parcel-arrived#post-1953506 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 22:44:01 +0000 Brooklyn 1953506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks cute but I wonder if its a bit big around the shoulders. It looks more like a short coat than a jacket? Personally I don’t get a lot of wear out of coats in my warm climate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spotty-parcel-arrived#post-1953502 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 22:32:17 +0000 Angie 1953502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From what I can see - it looks super cute, <b>Jenn.</b> And is supposed to be VERY swingy and A-line - especially from the side. But maybe you need a size down.</p> <p>How about this one instead? And I threw in the check to match your new luggage </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spotty-parcel-arrived#post-1953486 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 21:27:54 +0000 SarahD8 1953486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good attitude&nbsp;<b>Jenn</b>, I am sending "leopard-print scarf in gauzy, lightweight cashmere" vibes out into the universe for you... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spotty-parcel-arrived#post-1953484 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 21:21:19 +0000 Jenn 1953484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Fashiontern,&nbsp;</b>LA isn't quite as hot as Tampa, and mornings/evenings are definitely cooler, but I don't think I like this jacket enough compared to the amount of wear it would get in that climate. I'll just have to find another way to add leopard to my wardrobe.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spotty-parcel-arrived#post-1953482 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 21:14:36 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1953482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>It looks cute on you, but maybe lifting your arm to take the picture has pulled it up just enough to be at the sweet spot on your hip. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I have several NWT thin cotton sweaters that I had for a year and never wore in Tampa and others that I only wore out of state; can't imagine wearing this there more than the 2-12 days per year that it gets into the 40s/50s. If that's anything like LA, then you could visit this jacket whenever you went back to CO. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spotty-parcel-arrived#post-1953479 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 20:56:11 +0000 Jenn 1953479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the Horsell jacket is a no for me. It's very A-line on me, and the shoulders are quite puffy--the whole style is much more pretty and feminine than it looks on the model. Unfortunately, I don't find it flattering at all on my hourglass/pear shape. If I were to keep it, I would, at a minimum, want to move the buttons, as Angie (I think) said she plans to, but I also find it a little long, falling at the widest point on my hip instead of slightly above.</p> <p>The other thing, though, is that I'm pretty sure it's just too warm. It's 66° out right now, which, if my research is right, may be cooler than I could expect for LA in December or January. There is NO WAY I could wear that jacket in this sort of weather. I'd need it to be a good 20-25° cooler. </p>
