Oversized tops are so hit or miss! I've learned to not get too attached to the idea&nbsp; until I actually try it on. Plus everyone has different preferences in&nbsp;fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-spring-finds-reviews#post-2020212 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 21:33:36 +0000 smittie 2020212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweatshirt looks way better on you than me! It is a really great fit and lovely colour.<br /> I returned mine as it didn’t look quite right on me. On me, it looked like it does in the model...a bit floppy or something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-spring-finds-reviews#post-2020189 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 19:55:14 +0000 Chris987 2020189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-spring-finds-reviews#post-2019626 Sun, 14 Apr 2019 14:19:04 +0000 Angie 2019626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit on you is completely different to that of the model,<b> Chris</b>.

We had several inches of new snow today that will continue to 10am tomorrow according to the latest weather prediction. If April showers bring May flowers what do April blizzards bring?<br /> Warning...if you collide in a car with a tumbleweed, it will probably cost you thousands to get all the senors reset. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-spring-finds-reviews#post-2019076 Wed, 10 Apr 2019 21:17:30 +0000 Chris987 2019076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>See pics and info at the end of the original posting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-spring-finds-reviews#post-2018569 Mon, 08 Apr 2019 14:59:27 +0000 Chris987 2018569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Beck</b>y, so kind of you!</p> <p><b>Mainelady</b>, RIGHT! For the climates you and I live in, waterproof raincoats are a must because we get a fair amount of rain and it's usually HARD rain.&nbsp;Windbreakers and other types of spring/fall coats are good too, but I only wanted this one if it was truly waterproof. </p> <p>Good <b>Smittie</b>! I'll post pics in&nbsp;the next few days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-spring-finds-reviews#post-2018443 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 18:06:23 +0000 smittie 2018443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to hear about the sweatshirt fabric and length. I have the grey one on order. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-spring-finds-reviews#post-2018257 Sat, 06 Apr 2019 12:51:18 +0000 Mainelady 2018257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great reviews! Sorry about the anorak, but you are right....you need one that will stand up to the elements. The honey colored sweatshirt jumped right out at me......fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-spring-finds-reviews#post-2018189 Fri, 05 Apr 2019 22:21:43 +0000 Becky 2018189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You give great reviews.

Your idea of adding snaps to take up the sleeve length is brilliant, I may try that on another jacket I have. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-spring-finds-reviews#post-2018038 Fri, 05 Apr 2019 11:25:54 +0000 Laura 2018038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry the anorak didn’t work for you - it fits well on me although I am having an alteration to add snaps to the cuffs because the zippered sleeves are a bit long. It is great against wind but as you mentioned I was in AZ and did not test-drive it in the rain! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-spring-finds-reviews#post-2017869 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 14:42:29 +0000 Chris987 2017869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Bijou,</b> with you on the arm length issue, and I agree that altering arm length when there are sleeve zippers is costly so you have to really love the item. I've done a short cut a few times of shortening a sleeve just above or below the elbow with a horizontal pleat, which keeps the wrist area intact, but it only works fi the sleeves have very little taper to them. This jacket was not something on my "must have" list so I'm ok with letting it go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-spring-finds-reviews#post-2017855 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 14:09:10 +0000 Bijou 2017855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have picked some lovely items, a shame that the coat did not work out, but I would not buy a jacket that the arms were too long, as the alteration would be difficult given the zips on the sleeves. I say wait until the perfect waterproof jacket finds its way to you.</p> <p>Hopefully the yellow top works out - it is a beautiful colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-spring-finds-reviews#post-2017843 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 13:45:21 +0000 Chris987 2017843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks <b>Style Fan</b>. and <b>Robinf </b>- I love buttery yellows too, and am hoping to find a few to add this spring/summer. It's been a long time since I had anything in my closet in that color and I have missed it. </p> <p>Thanks<b> nemosmom! </b></p> <p><b>FIrecracker,</b> exactly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-spring-finds-reviews#post-2017753 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 02:06:30 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2017753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, for the reviews, Chris! I really like the looks of the jacket and sweatshirt. The blouse is a beautiful color; too bad the fabric wasn't as great in person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-spring-finds-reviews#post-2017750 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 01:49:45 +0000 RobinF 2017750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also tempted by that sweatshirt. Love the honey color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-spring-finds-reviews#post-2017668 Wed, 03 Apr 2019 17:42:51 +0000 nemosmom 2017668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry the jacket didn't work out, but I'm excited to see if the honey sweatshirt does!

Also I I would want at least water repellent for my climate and one&nbsp; reviewer at Nordstrom.com said she could feel water coming through after 5 minutes in light rain, so no good for me, at least not for how I planned to wear it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-spring-finds-reviews#post-2017640 Wed, 03 Apr 2019 14:15:49 +0000 Chris987 2017640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks<b> lis</b><b>a p, suntiger, and torontogirl!</b>.<br />&nbsp;<br />I saw on the blog posting that <b>Laura</b> found that blue anorak to fit perfectly. She also described wearing it on a trip to Arizona, where to the best of my knowledge there is very little rain most of the year. Making it work seems to be all about body type and what your expectations are for "water repellent" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-spring-finds-reviews#post-2017638 Wed, 03 Apr 2019 14:11:10 +0000 Angie 2017638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It all looks great, and just in your palette, <b>Chris. </b>Thanks for the reviews.<br />&nbsp;<b></b><br />Sorry the anorak didn't&nbsp;<b></b>work&nbsp;<b></b>out.
