Yes, that would probably defeat the purpose for me, I won't order. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper/page/2#post-1498820 Sat, 30 May 2015 22:53:34 +0000 DonnaF 1498820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I have a Top Shop jacquard (so much stiffer fabric) kimono jacket whose sleeves hit at about that length since it was made for a taller person.&nbsp; They got it the way and the style didn't allow me to push them up.&nbsp; Also, the neck shifts around which I guess happens with the style.&nbsp; Anyway, I used my Nordstrom alteration allowance to get the sleeves shortened; I think it was only $20.&nbsp; I like the jacket on you, but I would LOVE it with the sleeves a bit shorter.&nbsp; I have told myself not to leave [alteration] dollars on the table.&nbsp; How about you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper/page/2#post-1498487 Fri, 29 May 2015 23:28:48 +0000 shedev 1498487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd like to see the kimono with bootcuts or maybe straights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper/page/2#post-1498376 Fri, 29 May 2015 20:13:26 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1498376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both for you Una. The shorts are a slam dunk for sure and I like the kimono for a wee change-up in your style. Plus they both look great ON you. </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: Hmmmm...wonder how the kimono and shorts would look together???</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper/page/2#post-1498374 Fri, 29 May 2015 20:10:14 +0000 annagybe 1498374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yes to both </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper/page/2#post-1498353 Fri, 29 May 2015 19:42:58 +0000 Susie 1498353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE both pieces. I had wanted a kimono for some time and I tried a number of them. Most I rejected because they did have a bathrobe effect or I just didn't like the fabric. (I ended up finding a black kimono style jacket with some shaping that works well but would&nbsp; still consider the right patterned one.) The colors of this one are terrific and perfect for you. I think the style works well&nbsp;if your pair it with&nbsp;more simple, structured pieces. </p> <p>If I could wear a pleated trouser style of dressy shorts I would definitely add a pair for&nbsp;summer as my workplace is casual.&nbsp;I love these with the floral top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper/page/2#post-1498285 Fri, 29 May 2015 18:24:41 +0000 unfrumped 1498285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the kimono is not too big; I think it works due to its not being too long, and that you've paired with the structured pencil skirt; same as might work with fitted jeans or pants.<br />I love the dark flowered T top! Can you wear shorts to your work? Or is it just the same as a shorter version of culottes anyway! I think the footwear might sway me- for professional wear I'd amp that up to balance out the casual nature of the shorts, especially if the top is also a sort of casual&nbsp;style, &nbsp;but I think you said your workplace allowed a casual vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper/page/2#post-1498265 Fri, 29 May 2015 17:49:59 +0000 cjh 1498265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the kimono and the print, and it's not a bad fit, but is it you? Do you love it? That might be more important in your decision than how loose it is... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper/page/2#post-1498236 Fri, 29 May 2015 17:02:29 +0000 viva 1498236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both a lot. And I think Columbine makes a great point about what you pair the kimino with. But the pattern on the kimino feels very Una to me: unexpected and cool. Could definitely see it paired with some RATE&nbsp; jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper/page/2#post-1498233 Fri, 29 May 2015 16:55:58 +0000 columbine(erin) 1498233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think the kimono and shorts work when you've got other pieces giving structure, as you do here. If say you wore the kimono with a long flowy skirt it might be overwhelming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper#post-1498222 Fri, 29 May 2015 16:37:55 +0000 Isabel 1498222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the shorts ! &nbsp;I really like the kimono and find that the sleeves go too far out on you, though. IMO. &nbsp;Could they be narrowed or pinned back to make them less wide ? &nbsp;You could pin them, even with paper clips to get a visual. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper#post-1498212 Fri, 29 May 2015 16:17:40 +0000 Carole 1498212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shoe color, I should add:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper#post-1498210 Fri, 29 May 2015 16:17:03 +0000 Thistle 1498210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like the shorts. I think those work. They work better, IMHO, because they drape well and&nbsp;there isn't extra fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper#post-1498209 Fri, 29 May 2015 16:17:02 +0000 Carole 1498209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun piece...love the colors and how the shoes are reflected in the kimono! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper#post-1498208 Fri, 29 May 2015 16:15:37 +0000 Thistle 1498208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not reading the other responses, so I am not biased.&nbsp; I don't like it on you. I don't feel like it is your style, unless this is a new direction. And if it is, well, I feel like it overwhelms you. Sorry, I would keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper#post-1498205 Fri, 29 May 2015 16:07:52 +0000 Anonymous 1498205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the kimono enough that I decided to buy it for myself. &nbsp;Thank you for finding it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper#post-1498204 Fri, 29 May 2015 16:04:14 +0000 catgirl 1498204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, these are painted locally by a friend of mine with Alaskan motifs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper#post-1498202 Fri, 29 May 2015 16:03:14 +0000 catgirl 1498202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback! A kimono is not in my comfort zone so all advice helps. </p> <p>Janet, that is my concern too. There is a bathrobe-like effect but that may just be the look. Not sure! </p> <p>I am struggling with the distinctions between oversized, flowy, draped and just plain too big. I've always been able to "pull off" the oversized look with my shoulders. But I want it to look intentional...</p> <p>Peri and anyone else considering this item, note that it is lightly lined which could make it too hot for some summer climates. </p> <p>Appreciate all the food for thought! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper#post-1498192 Fri, 29 May 2015 15:51:04 +0000 Joyce B 1498192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both pieces on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper#post-1498182 Fri, 29 May 2015 15:23:22 +0000 kellygirl 1498182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both pieces, Una.

I'm glad to see it on you and I do like it. I'm not 100% sure...it does look big, but aren't they supposed to?

The soft drape of the kimono provides sufficient structure.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper#post-1498150 Fri, 29 May 2015 13:46:11 +0000 Anonymous 1498150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow!

The length is just right so I don't find it overwhelming at all.<br />Hard to see how shorts fit on the photo, but they should be a no brainer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper#post-1498126 Fri, 29 May 2015 12:39:30 +0000 Janet 1498126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I promise, I'm not raining on the parade! However, just to be a slight spanner... I get a little of what my husband calls the bathrobe effect here. It's gorgeous, don't get me wrong, but it looks a lot like my favorite robe. I'm a little sensitive to that because of hub's bias. It's not a matter of flattery so much as the effect, I think. Sorry! Feel free to ignore my take on it if you love it! </p> <p>*slinks off* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper#post-1498122 Fri, 29 May 2015 12:34:08 +0000 donnat 1498122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love me a kimono, it looks perfect on you.

My first thought was that would make a great travel piece, because it could play double-duty as a robe in the hotel.&nbsp;</p> <p>I particularly like the colors &amp; the soft flow -- it is working brilliantly with your softer hair color.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-turn-to-ask-kra-jfe-kimono-topper#post-1498106 Fri, 29 May 2015 12:11:53 +0000 Elizabeth P 1498106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both Una.&nbsp; Sure, the kimono is a lot of volume, but show me a kimono that isn't!&nbsp; These colours are wonderful, and it will look great with jeans. <br />I have a similar pair of shorts that I wear to work in the summer, I find it a&nbsp; great alternative to a skirt.&nbsp; </p> <p>Keep, keep! </p>
