These are 3 clear winners to my eye. The jacket is great, the jeans look fantastic, but I'm smitten with the scarf - both the colour and the trimming.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-leather-and-shine#post-999591 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 05:13:31 +0000 ManidipaM 999591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As someone who loves black and supposedly looks good in it yet finds it hard to wear without feeling drab or funereal, may I congratulate you on this excellent solution...which I may have to steal? Mixed media! What an idea!</p> <p>You look seriously fab in the jacket and then the addition of the scarf is so striking with your signature blue colour. And I'm envious of those jeans...the rare metallic type that looks burnished rather than polished, funky and not trying too hard at all. </p> <p>I want to be the fly on the wall when you wear them in to work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-leather-and-shine#post-999529 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 02:27:07 +0000 Suz 999529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is fantastic on you, Lisa! Great purchase. I love the mixed media with the grey check. It looks so soft and interesting. And the scarf is also gorgeous!&nbsp;</p> <p>Jeans look good, too. I can't tell about hemming without knowing your footwear with them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-leather-and-shine#post-999425 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 23:56:26 +0000 Jjsloane 999425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both pieces. I would shorten (but good advice to wash first) I must look away or I will be tempted to order these both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-leather-and-shine#post-999375 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 22:40:14 +0000 Lisa 999375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann-Thanks!&nbsp; Great idea to wash before commiting to shortening.</p> <p>Chewyspagetti-Thanks! I miss your WIWs, I hope you are doing well.</p> <p>Rae-Thanks!&nbsp; The jacket is very soft.&nbsp; I've been wearing camo printed trousers to work and that has turned heads already.&nbsp; Wait until I wear all black and shiny grey jeans!</p> <p>Rachylou-Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-leather-and-shine#post-999178 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 18:04:26 +0000 rachylou 999178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fantastic. The jeans look absolutely fabulous on you and the jacket is a winner IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-leather-and-shine#post-999080 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 15:27:04 +0000 rae 999080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket is awesome on you! I was just petting it last night. FAB idea to get mixed material instead of solid black. The jeans are fun, too. I kept wishing it was a brand that worked for me. You have some edgy style that is emerging! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-leather-and-shine#post-999066 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 15:20:55 +0000 chewyspaghetti 999066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-leather-and-shine#post-999055 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 15:02:10 +0000 Beth Ann 999055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is a perfect fit for your shape and your style.&nbsp; What a find!&nbsp; </p> <p>The jeans are a wonderful --- shiny, but still versatile.&nbsp; I'd wash before deciding on length, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-leather-and-shine#post-998920 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 11:07:18 +0000 Lisa 998920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit-Thanks!</p> <p>Thistle-Thanks!</p> <p>Shedev-Thanks!&nbsp; Jean twins, yay!&nbsp; I hope you will post your outfits so I can "cough cough" copy. :)</p> <p>Karie-Thanks!&nbsp; I'll have to try the jeans with flats, my preferred shoe height. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-leather-and-shine#post-998787 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 03:06:53 +0000 Karie 998787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket - it looks fantastic on you! The jeans could be shortened just a smidge, depending on what shoes you'll be wearing with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-leather-and-shine#post-998735 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 01:05:48 +0000 shedev 998735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great NAS picks. I love this leather on you, Lisa. I got those same pants, mine are long on the bottom too but I like some scrunch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-leather-and-shine#post-998729 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 00:43:50 +0000 Thistle 998729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-leather-and-shine#post-998693 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 23:09:29 +0000 Anonymous 998693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the moto! Wow!</p> <p>They look a touch long for ballet flats etc but tucked into booties or boots they'd be fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-leather-and-shine#post-998684 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 22:51:17 +0000 kellygirl 998684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great moto! I think the mixed media element really suits you. Not as harsh as solid leather--a little more refined. Skinnies look good. I think if u tuck they are fine but look too long for flats. Nice picks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-leather-and-shine#post-998681 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 22:43:16 +0000 Lisa 998681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I walked into Nordstrom today to get the Laundry wool coat <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-angie-pick-laundry-coat" rel="nofollow">from this post</a> tailored in the sleeves.&nbsp; And I ended up walking out with this leather one instead.&nbsp; </p> <p>I have wanted a black leather jacket for a long time.&nbsp; But solid black is always too harsh on me.&nbsp; This one is mixed material. <br /><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/trouve?origin=productBrandLink" rel="nofollow">Trouve </a>Houndstooth Panel Quilted Leather Moto Jacket</p> <p>#1-Open</p> <p>#2-Closed</p> <p>#3-Back view</p> <p>#4-Close up of the mixed material.&nbsp; The sleeves are half black cloth, half leather and the body is mostly leather with some of this grey houndstooth print.</p> <p>#5-Leather trimmed scarf. I do not see the scarf online but it is material with a black leather trim to it)</p> <p>I thought this scarf worked out nicely with the jacket.</p> <p>Now onto the shine!</p> <p>These jeans are an Angie pick.&nbsp; I really like them, my inner magpie is happy.<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/jag-jeans?origin=productBrandLink" rel="nofollow">Jag Jeans </a>'Miranda' Metallic Coated Print Skinny Jeans</p> <p>#6-Front</p> <p>#7-Back</p> <p>Do I need to get these jeans shortened?</p> <p>This was a long post, thanks for looking!</p> </p>
