I'm thinking the top wasn't meant to be tucked...but I sorta liked seeing the whole skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-and-blouse-in-todays-wiw#post-1669694 Mon, 30 May 2016 18:28:36 +0000 anne 1669694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Smittie . I have fixed the link.<br /> Thanks Angie. Without your encouragement I probably would not have bought them.<br /> Sihaya great to see you too.! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-and-blouse-in-todays-wiw#post-1669616 Mon, 30 May 2016 14:46:23 +0000 Angie 1669616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW. You are tenacious, Anne. WELL DONE. And your outfit is Killer. So are all the individual items.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-and-blouse-in-todays-wiw#post-1669614 Mon, 30 May 2016 14:42:43 +0000 Anonymous 1669614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The link in your first post directs you to an online library :)<br /> I really like your jacket and blouse, though maybe not together.<br /> I like the blouse untucked.<br /> The jacket has a nice waist-accentuating shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-and-blouse-in-todays-wiw#post-1669612 Mon, 30 May 2016 14:38:38 +0000 Sihaya 1669612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, all three pieces look great. I like the blouse untucked with the skirt though I'd consider having your cami untucked too. Nice to see you're still on the forum (I just re-emerged after many years and it's so fun to re-discover familiar names!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-and-blouse-in-todays-wiw#post-1669609 Mon, 30 May 2016 14:35:57 +0000 anne 1669609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just quickly. Yes the tea came out.<br /> And here's the blouse untucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-and-blouse-in-todays-wiw#post-1669589 Mon, 30 May 2016 13:05:31 +0000 Deborah 1669589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne I'm exhausted just reading your post lol! Both items are lovely on you. I'm sorry about the tea...did it can be out?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-and-blouse-in-todays-wiw#post-1669587 Mon, 30 May 2016 13:02:23 +0000 Suz 1669587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, you look lovely in the crisp (and soft) black and white. I do not see the blouse as making you look bulky in the least -- it is fluid and soft.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hope the tea comes out of it! What a saga! And I hope your feet will survive all that extra hoofing!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-and-blouse-in-todays-wiw#post-1669583 Mon, 30 May 2016 12:58:03 +0000 lyn67 1669583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, great finds, love the jacket AND blouse, too! One is structured, other one is so feminine, &nbsp;even love their unexpected &nbsp;juxtaposition. And they go &nbsp;well with your skirt too! LOVE!!!!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-and-blouse-in-todays-wiw#post-1669560 Mon, 30 May 2016 12:02:49 +0000 Anonymous 1669560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not see bulky alone because the skirt gives the slim proportion, but I do like it with the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-and-blouse-in-todays-wiw#post-1669551 Mon, 30 May 2016 11:47:09 +0000 Helen11 1669551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a saga to get to the shops! I think you got a good deal for your jacket. I like the trim, and how it works with your skirt. My preference is for a simpler line under the jacket, though I do like the blouse in itself.<br /> Good to hear the stain came out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-and-blouse-in-todays-wiw#post-1669527 Mon, 30 May 2016 08:49:31 +0000 anne 1669527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lucy - I think the design of the blouse is to have quite a lot of volume. I tried the size smaller and it is just a little tight on the line that is increasingly a problem for me on sleeved items - kind of across the back and arms at just above bust level.</p> <p>Thanks Staysfit - I think the tea has come out</p> <p>Thanks Bella</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-and-blouse-in-todays-wiw#post-1669523 Mon, 30 May 2016 08:29:31 +0000 Staysfit 1669523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything here looks so elegant! I hope the tea comes out of your blouse, I really like it on you. Bad week for blouses! I snagged mine a few days ago at work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-and-blouse-in-todays-wiw#post-1669522 Mon, 30 May 2016 08:16:46 +0000 bella 1669522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think eveything looks great together here. You are really stepping up your style game! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-and-blouse-in-todays-wiw#post-1669521 Mon, 30 May 2016 08:15:47 +0000 Lucy 1669521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket, I think it looks great. Stylish, and I like it with the skirt. I don't really like blouses much, so I might be biased with that, but it looks a bit big to me. But not an expert at all!&nbsp;<br />The gorgeous jacket would look fab with a cami or fine knit under it, I'm sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-and-blouse-in-todays-wiw#post-1669512 Mon, 30 May 2016 07:26:46 +0000 anne 1669512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ended up returning to the shop* and buying<br /> the blouse and jacket that many of you liked in my previous thread <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-help-appreciated" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ppreciated</a></p> <p>I'm wearing them today.</p> <p>I like the blouse alone, but not in<br /> combination with the jacket (which is fine, they weren't bought to<br /> necessarily go together - but I was in a hurry dressing this morning). I<br /> think it makes my midsection look too bulky.</p> <p>Not sure the skirt is great with the jacket<br /> either</p> <p>The jacket was a compromise. I think a<br /> size up would have been better (I tried it in white), but they were sold out. I<br /> would have preferred fastenings too. But I have been looking for jackets for over a year now, and this will do for the moment. And reduced to $79, that is pretty reasonable for a jacket.</p> <p>Would love to hear your thoughts and as always, criticism is fine.</p> <p>*Extra reading - This was a bit of a saga in itself. I got in my car to head to the mall, and it wouldn't start. Not good, as it is an LPG car, so would need to be towed if if runs out of fuel. So I decided to catch the bus. </p> <p>Got to the bus stop (about 700m away) and decided I might as well walk. I felt very Suz-ish at that point! Took me 17 minutes and decided that I'd catch the bus home as my shoes, though comfortable, weren't really up to it and as I'd be carrying parcels. </p> <p>On the way home accidentally got off 2 stops early and walk 1km anyway! It felt so strange catching the bus somewhere suburban, that I drive past all the time, even through I catch a bus into the city multiple times a week.</p> <p>Good news - the car was fine later in the day- must have been having a cold morning moment earlier</p> <p>Extra reading 2</p> <p>I just (after taking the pictures) spilled black tea on the blouse. Thank goodness I was wearing a cami. I took off the blouse, wore just the jacket and scarf over the cami (looks fine, actually) and raced into the kitchen to pour boiling water over it. Hope it works! </p>
