How about a belt with jacket #2 - over it to help funk it up a bit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-input-on-jackets-round-1#post-65737 Sat, 16 May 2009 23:57:11 +0000 April 65737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So funny about the jeans, Angie -- those are AT Lindsay trouser jeans that had literally just arrived in the mail before taking the photos. I tried them on and while wearing them, decided to work my way through the jackets. I guess I should keep the jeans. :)</p> <p>Yes, I would definitely funk up the plaid jacket. What about nipping in the waist a bit -- would that help the funk quotient? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-input-on-jackets-round-1#post-65733 Sat, 16 May 2009 23:43:05 +0000 Angie 65733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi April! Love your jeans. They are KILLER.</p> <p>I like jacket #2. It fits well. Very traditional. Want to funk up the look a bit if you decide to keep it. I say pass on the others. Jackets are very expensive to alter and you’ll get perfectly fitting jackets for a song in this recession. Is that a deal? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-input-on-jackets-round-1#post-65686 Sat, 16 May 2009 14:06:20 +0000 April 65686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I would wear a classic charcoal jacket such as #1 a fair amount (if it fit properly), because I wear it to work and also as outerwear to fall events such as my son's soccer games, with jeans and wellies. I did have the waist taken in but I think my tailor underestimated how fitted I wanted it to be. Same with #3 -- maybe it's time to change tailors...</p> <p>Interesting that you all like #2 -- that was a reach for me, but it was an incredible bargain so I decided to take the risk. It is also a bit wide in the waist and should probably be nipped in a little. Are the sleeves an okay length on that one? I never know how long sleeves should be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-input-on-jackets-round-1#post-65668 Sat, 16 May 2009 12:04:46 +0000 hanna 65668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the only one that really popped to me was #2. #1 is possibly worth altering and keeping, depending on how much use you get out of a basic black blazer. #3 just looks too big and shapeless on you. hope that helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-input-on-jackets-round-1#post-65666 Sat, 16 May 2009 10:58:03 +0000 Kristen 65666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and 3 need altering (3 might be too big altogether). #2 looks great -- I love that jacket and almost got it myself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-input-on-jackets-round-1#post-65664 Sat, 16 May 2009 10:37:56 +0000 April 65664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping -- I really do need help deciding whether to alter any of these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-input-on-jackets-round-1#post-65610 Fri, 15 May 2009 21:57:30 +0000 April 65610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Before I put them to the back of the closet for warmer weather, I would like input on a bunch of jackets. I will do them in smaller chunks to avoid "closet cleanout overwhelm." (Link to full album is at the end.)</p> <p>The questions are:<br /> 1. Keep or not<br /> 2. Would you suggest any alterations</p> <p>1. Lands End charcoal wool jacket. This one has already been taken in at the waist, but it's still a bit loose in that area and I am considering having it redone.<br /> <a href="http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu218/AprilYLF/Jackets%20Round%201/IMG_0144.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i649.photobucket.com/al.....G_0144.jpg</a></p> <p>2. This one is a deep orange plaid with a little peplum in the back. It has a sweet hot pink lining that I love. Should I have the waist taken in a bit?<br /> <a href="http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu218/AprilYLF/Jackets%20Round%201/IMG_0140.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i649.photobucket.com/al.....G_0140.jpg</a></p> <p>Lining: <a href="http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu218/AprilYLF/Jackets%20Round%201/IMG_0142.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i649.photobucket.com/al.....G_0142.jpg</a></p> <p>3. This one is a moto jacket in a charcoal knit. I already had this one taken in as well, but what do you think of the fit? Somehow I never seem to wear it and I'm wondering if something is off about the way it hangs.<br /> <a href="http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu218/AprilYLF/Jackets%20Round%201/IMG_0170.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i649.photobucket.com/al.....G_0170.jpg</a></p> <p>Open: <a href="http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu218/AprilYLF/Jackets%20Round%201/IMG_0149.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i649.photobucket.com/al.....G_0149.jpg</a></p> <p>Full album: <a href="http://s649.photobucket.com/albums/uu218/AprilYLF/Jackets%20Round%201/" rel="nofollow">http://s649.photobucket.com/al.....Round%201/</a></p> <p>Thanks! </p>
