I more I look at the pictures of the jacket, the more lab coat I see now LOL. And I definitely see how just the button placement can make the fit so much better. I love the fit of the ATL jacket, and it is so comfortable to boot. The lining feels so luxurious!</p> <p>I've been cautious of other type of jackets because I feel they tend to look boxy, but I do keep trying them on so hopefully I will find another summer jacket soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-jackets-need-opinions-please#post-66226 Tue, 19 May 2009 13:13:50 +0000 shana 66226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love the ATL jacket on you! I actually like the white jacket too (unbuttoned) but I see what Angie is saying. I have a similar one (light, 3/4 sleeves) from last summer but mine is eyelet so there is less of the lab coat feel. I think one button jackets are really tricky (I usually avoid them to be honest) - button placement is so important. You see how different it can be in the white versus the gold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-jackets-need-opinions-please#post-66111 Tue, 19 May 2009 00:23:12 +0000 shell 66111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what great finds! i had the "white lab coat" thing going on when i tried one on this spring - i like angie's solution of contrasting buttons. i wish i would've thought of that earlier! </p> <p>i love love love the second jacket though! it was made for you!</p> <p>the green cardigan is a lovely color for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-jackets-need-opinions-please#post-66079 Mon, 18 May 2009 22:15:43 +0000 taylor 66079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, You are a beauty,... nothing to add but fun to see your style. You look great in everything </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-jackets-need-opinions-please#post-66014 Mon, 18 May 2009 14:44:36 +0000 Angie 66014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're doing superbly well, Niva. You HAVE got an eye for what works! Hope today’s blog post makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-jackets-need-opinions-please#post-66011 Mon, 18 May 2009 14:37:44 +0000 Vani 66011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*blush* sinead, Angie, Thank you for the compliments. I am grateful for having been blessed the hair I have.</p> <p>I agree with all of you. The white of the white jacket does have a lab coat thingy going on. And the fit is snug on buttoning it. Now that I visualize the details you mention, it makes perfect sense Angie. Jacket is going right back to the store. </p> <p>I'm still training my eye to pick up on details that will or will not flatter. I have conceded to myself I wasn't born with an innate eye for what works It is a work in progress.</p> <p>Really looking forward to that post Angie, I like the idea of owning a white jacket, esp for the searing summers here in FL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-jackets-need-opinions-please#post-65925 Mon, 18 May 2009 04:42:35 +0000 Angie 65925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! We got to see Niva’s face! You are gorgeously pretty! In another life, I want your hair. </p> <p>The cream jacket is fabulous! And the green cardi is super! KEEP.</p> <p>The white jacket is a little snug buttoned, which isn’t a train smash seeing as you can wear jackets unbuttoned no problem. It’s the “white lab coat thing” – and I’m addressing this in a blog post tomorrow. White jackets look best with contrasting buttons in black, brown or metal. Return this white jacket and look for a bit of contrast or texture. Hope that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-jackets-need-opinions-please#post-65923 Mon, 18 May 2009 03:54:20 +0000 devin 65923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a newbie here, but I agree with Sinead and Cciele. </p> <p>I think the white jacket may be a wee bit small when buttoned, but the cream jacket and green cardi look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-jackets-need-opinions-please#post-65922 Mon, 18 May 2009 03:43:07 +0000 cciele 65922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with sinead regarding the white jacket; it's a bit stark. And it seems a little tight around the chest when buttoned. </p> <p>The cream jacket fits better and the softer white flatters your skintone. </p> <p>The green cardi is so cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-jackets-need-opinions-please#post-65910 Mon, 18 May 2009 02:48:35 +0000 sinead 65910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the ATL cream jacket and green cardi. </p> <p>I'm not sure about the white- the jacket looks fine, but maybe is a little bit of a stark white. I do like it better unbuttoned. I'm still developing my "style eye" so you'll have to let others weigh in on it.</p> <p>Can I just say- your hair is gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-tops-and-jackets-need-opinions-please#post-65857 Sun, 17 May 2009 23:28:16 +0000 Vani 65857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a couple of tops and jackets a few weeks ago and have been meaning to ask everybody for critiques. Chewyspaghetti, I swear this was before the May 11 shopping ban!</p> <p>This is a white jacket I spotted at JCP by Allen B. I was quite taken in by the fit at the store and overjoyed to find a light weight 3/4 sleeve one button jacket. But I'm not sure about it at all now. Hubby has quite an eye for detail and said it wasn't "cool" :-)<br /> Unbuttoned -<br /> <a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj209/vmmpics/ylfmay09/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_2878.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s273.photobucket.com/al.....G_2878.jpg</a><br /> Buttoned-<br /> <a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj209/vmmpics/ylfmay09/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_2881.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s273.photobucket.com/al.....G_2881.jpg</a></p> <p>This is a pretty cream with gold flecks jacket I found at ATL. Again, light weight, 3/4 sleeve and one button and a little dressy. It also has this cute pleat detailing on the pockets. Again, hubby didn't like this either.<br /> Buttoned -<br /> <a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj209/vmmpics/ylfmay09/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_2883.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s273.photobucket.com/al.....G_2883.jpg</a><br /> Unbuttoned -<br /> <a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj209/vmmpics/ylfmay09/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_2884.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s273.photobucket.com/al.....G_2884.jpg</a></p> <p>Lastly, this is a green V neck cropped cardi from JCP. I really like this and it is just so comfortable. Has cute button detail on the sleeve cuff.<br /> Buttoned all the way -<br /> <a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj209/vmmpics/ylfmay09/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_2891.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s273.photobucket.com/al.....G_2891.jpg</a><br /> Single button -<br /> <a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj209/vmmpics/ylfmay09/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_2891.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s273.photobucket.com/al.....G_2891.jpg</a><br /> Unbuttoned -<br /> <a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj209/vmmpics/ylfmay09/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_2895.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s273.photobucket.com/al.....G_2895.jpg</a></p> <p>Please excuse my hair again, it has been quite windy outside this weekend!</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> Vani </p>
