I love it. :)</p> <p>Can't wait to see a size up in the gilet, and count me in as someone who loves the VB jacket on you, as styled. Looks amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-does-the-gilet-work-for-me#post-1704141 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 05:10:23 +0000 Brooklyn 1704141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab in these pictures. I hope the size up in the gilet works for you. I am now intrigued by the blur function on the phone... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-does-the-gilet-work-for-me#post-1704124 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 04:06:47 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1704124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both pieces on you--and your smiles say it all for me. You look confident and happy in them. I couldn't tell about sizing on the vest, but I really love the style on you. What a chic look in 1. Those boots finish the outfit with sleek sophistication.<br />The jacket is just super cool and fun. It looks like it was made for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-does-the-gilet-work-for-me#post-1704107 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 03:40:56 +0000 lpr200 1704107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone! I got the next size up so I'll try it on over the sweater for an updated pic-- I don't plan on closing it, it wouldn't look good on me-- I'm busty.<br />I'm totally in love with the VB blazer and I think it's much nicer than the scuba blazers. It's my second VB blazer, I love this brand and my SA said that Nordstrom is planning on carrying more. I'm glad no one thought it was strange I copied the catalog exactly-- maybe I can add some jewelry to make it a little bit more of my own look!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-does-the-gilet-work-for-me#post-1703753 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 19:43:48 +0000 Angie 1703753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the VB jacket on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Try a size up in the gilet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-does-the-gilet-work-for-me#post-1703730 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 19:14:47 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1703730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so jealous that you found the Veronica Beard jacket -- I really love it. I am having a harder time assessing the gilet because the dark colors make the look overall indistinct. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-does-the-gilet-work-for-me#post-1703727 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 19:08:52 +0000 Muffin 1703727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No idea on the gilet but that jacket--love, love, love! If you have a chance to post a picture of it zipped &amp; buttoned that would be great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-does-the-gilet-work-for-me#post-1703719 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 18:58:23 +0000 Suz 1703719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, gilet triplet!!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think you should absolutely try a size up in that gilet. It will work for you. Armholes are loose and a bit low on this, I think for layering. The size I kept is like that on me and Angie said it's how it is supposed to fit.&nbsp;</p> <p>It will be easier to decide about length when you've decided for sure on the size.&nbsp;</p> <p>I LOVE the jacket on you, too. Hard to tell about fit from here -- how are the shoulders? Do you have ease of movement? Can you do up the zip part?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-does-the-gilet-work-for-me#post-1703714 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 18:51:38 +0000 Mochi 1703714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had immediately thought maybe size up, but it's hard to gain perspective without also seeing it closed, as some of the other women have photographed it. It's going to be a great piece. I love the blazer even more!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-does-the-gilet-work-for-me#post-1703713 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 18:50:53 +0000 Author Linda 1703713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can certainly rock the gilet, though I agree you ought to try the next size up to get the vest overcoat look. I've been wondering if this gilet can be worn over a sweater. Thanks for showing me it can work!&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the blazer, too, and your cheerfully lived in bedroom.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-does-the-gilet-work-for-me#post-1703710 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 18:42:00 +0000 lpr200 1703710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I loved the gilet on you, crazy one! The armhole was super big when I went up a size, but I didn't try it in the store with a sweater... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-does-the-gilet-work-for-me#post-1703685 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 17:42:03 +0000 crazyone 1703685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi lpr200! &nbsp;I think the gilet could work on you, but I think you might need to size up a size? &nbsp;I tried it on myself and I think it is intended to cover up more of the front even when left open. &nbsp;Otherwise I think the color and cut and outfit work well.</p> <p>The blazer looks great on you! &nbsp;Not too fashion-victim-y at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-does-the-gilet-work-for-me#post-1703671 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 17:22:20 +0000 lpr200 1703671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been inspired by all of you here that I got the Rag and Bone gilet. I'm wearing it with the R&amp;B straight legs, Vince side zip sweater and A JCrew top I have...does it work? Do I need it tailored?<br /> I also got the Victoria Beard blazer-- I'm wearing it with frame jeans and a J Crew shirt. I copied it straight out of the catalog...but I love it-- is that too fashion victim looking? </p> <p>PS I love the blur function-- I tried to make my bedroom look neater but gave up, so here are pics, messy bedroom and all!</p>
