Keep all, you did a great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-purchases-help-me-decide#post-59008 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 22:26:26 +0000 CK 59008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad I'm not the only one, Kari! And thank you for the tip about the garment bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-purchases-help-me-decide#post-58844 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 06:18:46 +0000 Kari 58844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cindy, I shamelessly steal items or concepts from people around here all the time. :)</p> <p>The jacket looks great! I'm amazed at how versatile this coat is. I'm still in love with mine. (One caution, though - you may want to store it in a clear plastic garment bag. Mine accidentally got hung next to some dark denim and I wound out having to scrub out a blue stain on the shoulder.)</p> <p>I like the trench, but I'm in love with your tweed vest! It looks beautifully cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-purchases-help-me-decide#post-58830 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 03:27:18 +0000 CK 58830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Tanya and Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-purchases-help-me-decide#post-58810 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 01:14:16 +0000 Angie 58810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's music to my ears, Cindy. Well done! You have the BEST idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-purchases-help-me-decide#post-58772 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 23:39:42 +0000 Tanya 58772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look amazing to me, and I would keep them all, and work them into your daily outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-purchases-help-me-decide#post-58736 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 21:05:23 +0000 CK 58736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks you so much Shana and Angie!</p> <p>Angie, in the past I would have probably saved these for dressier occasions, but since I want to step up my everyday look, I am going to work these into my daily wardrobe. Do I have the right idea? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-purchases-help-me-decide#post-58523 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 22:53:36 +0000 Angie 58523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep, keep and keep! You did really well, Cindy. Superb! Well done! </p> <p>Is the plan to wear these clothes daily, or keep them for dressier occasions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-purchases-help-me-decide#post-58436 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 16:10:52 +0000 shana 58436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cindy,</p> <p>The white jacket is a keeper - it looks awesome on you! It has really become the "it" jacket on the ylf forum and I can see why. I actually wanted to see how it looked in person but when I was at AT last week the salesperson told me that it sold out in a week!</p> <p>Hmm, the trench looks good overall - length, fit in the shoulders &#38; arms but the sleeves seem a tad long. I can't really tell because your hand is closed.</p> <p>The vest looks AMAZING on you! Definitely keep it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-purchases-help-me-decide#post-58426 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 15:46:58 +0000 CK 58426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought a few new things and would love your thoughts on whether they are keepers or not.</p> <p>First up, the famous AT pleather jacket that so many of you have! Yes, I stole the idea shamelessly from all of you:<br /> <a href="http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss191/cindy_ylf/100_1492.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i575.photobucket.com/al.....0_1492.jpg</a></p> <p>Next, a trenchcoat from Spiegel. It is the traditional khaki color, but it has a bit of a sheen to it which you may not be able to see in the photo, and also some stretch.<br /> Buttoned:<br /> <a href="http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss191/cindy_ylf/100_1486.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i575.photobucket.com/al.....0_1486.jpg</a></p> <p>Unbuttoned:<br /> <a href="http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss191/cindy_ylf/100_1490.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i575.photobucket.com/al.....0_1490.jpg</a></p> <p>Last, a tweed vest that I would wear in the fall, but was on sale so I got it now. I am not sure about the halter neck as it may limit the types of tops I can wear with it. Should this type of vest be worn only with a collared shirt? Or at all? </p> <p>Buttoned:<br /> <a href="http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss191/cindy_ylf/100_1489.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i575.photobucket.com/al.....0_1489.jpg</a></p> <p>Unbuttoned:<br /> <a href="http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss191/cindy_ylf/100_1487.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i575.photobucket.com/al.....0_1487.jpg</a> </p> <p>I couldn't get a picture of the back of mine, but it looks similar to the back view of this one: <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&#038;navAction=jump&#038;id=14205793&#038;search=true&#038;color=41" rel="nofollow">http://www.urbanoutfitters.com.....8;color=41</a> </p> <p>Does that look funny, or is it too young a look for me? Or is it okay? (I'm in my 40's)</p> <p>Thanks for your help, and please don't hesitate to be honest! </p>
