So fun to see how you play with it, and I really like it with an edgy t-shirt underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived/page/2#post-2042824 Sat, 13 Jul 2019 12:45:59 +0000 Laura 2042824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like you in red! It’s fun to change things up. To make it more punk I say do your hair spiky and add some safety pin jewelry! Ha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived/page/2#post-2042814 Sat, 13 Jul 2019 12:33:36 +0000 Janet 2042814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! Especially Angie since I know you are working long days! </p> <p>The boots are definitely keepers.</p> <p>The more I wore it and played with it, the more I like the VB. I will have time — 2.5 months until we have any kind of jacket weather — to be sure before I cut tags. I’ll be honest, red makes me pause, but it’s a good shade of red for me, it does seem I have plenty of options that work with it, and I don’t want my wardrobe to be stuck in a blue rut. I like that it doesn’t duplicate anything else in my jacket collection (which I am actively reviewing and editing). I like that it’s a plaid grounded with plenty of black and cream. The black piping makes it work for me — I think I need to play up a bit of sophisticated punk edge with it. Suggestions welcome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived/page/2#post-2042764 Sat, 13 Jul 2019 06:37:40 +0000 Kari 2042764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blazer is incredible on you. You have such a fabulous collection of jackets and this is one of my favorites among those many treasures. LOVE it with the graphic tees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived/page/2#post-2042752 Sat, 13 Jul 2019 05:26:16 +0000 Suz 2042752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Angie</b> said times 10. <b>LOVE</b> that jacket on you. Wow.&nbsp;</p> <p>I couldn't find it to try in store. I am going to see if I can order online. Just to try.

Does that blazer jacket ever integrate into your wardrobe! I just loved the photo with the jacket and boots (jeans rolled), then you styled,it with the striped trousers. Holy smokes, Janet! </p> <p>I'm thinking the zebra coat doesn't meet standards, and should be returned. Sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived/page/2#post-2042646 Sat, 13 Jul 2019 00:23:44 +0000 Bennett 2042646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, keep it all! But think hard about the VB blazer and its place in your wardrobe only because of the price. It really works for you! Love it with the side stripe pants and a graphic tee, super super cool.&nbsp;</p> <p>Mmmmm, those boots! Those are very you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived/page/2#post-2042589 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 22:46:56 +0000 Gaylene 2042589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was “yeh, the VB is nice but...” until I saw it with those piped trousers and black boots. Now THAT is a solid 10 in my books! Keep. </p> <p>Love the boots as well, but I’d be iffy about the coat for its tendency to become too precious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived/page/2#post-2042578 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 22:27:25 +0000 Style Fan 2042578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colour for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived/page/2#post-2042576 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 22:25:53 +0000 smittie 2042576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blazer integrates so well in your wardrobe and looks fabulous with the new boots. It is very figure flattering - more so than the zebra jacket. </p> <p>The boots are fab too. I am super-keen on the blazer, but I know it's not something you *need* right now, so think about it.</p> <p>The zebra jacket looks good in both sizes, but not as good as the red jacket, which is why I hesitate. I can't tell the difference in size between the 6 and 8, but I don't have a good eye for sizes, so take that fwiw.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived/page/2#post-2042569 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 22:17:50 +0000 JAileen 2042569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect with the black and red pants, and a graphic tee. A different look, but still you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived/page/2#post-2042554 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 22:04:35 +0000 Janet 2042554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL... I’ve been in and out of my clothes so much today, trying on stuff from my closet! What’s another wardrobe change, right?</p> <p>I discovered a couple of things about the VB jacket — 1) it does accommodate a dickey, I’d be seriously tempted to check out their offerings for a piece to casualize the blazer even more, without adding the bulk of extra layers (I’m not into so many layers these days). 2) The sleeves unbutton and fold up really well for a scrunched sleeve effect. Again, just another way to casualize it. 3) the pocket flaps tuck away into the pockets once you undo the stitching that holds them shut — I suspected that might be the case. This is helpful when a more streamlined look is desired. Nice that the jacket has some versatility that way.</p> <p>I put it on with pockets tucked and sleeves cuffed (just with my shorts and tee) so you can see. </p> <p>And here it is with my Calvin Klein side stripe trousers (my only real pair of trousers!) and Kori boots. I have never had the trousers properly hemmed (they have some allowance and are just tacked — I need to have them let down a bit). It’s certainly matchy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived/page/2#post-2042544 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 21:53:42 +0000 Chris987 2042544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another thumbs up for the jacket and boots...even though red may not be a color you wear it looks totally fabulous on you, and it doesn't read "RED" to my eye, more an interesting plaid with lots of colors including red and terrific piping. </p> <p>If you are already worried about doggie claws damaging the coat I'd say listen to your little voice.....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived/page/2#post-2042521 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 21:27:15 +0000 gryffin 2042521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet - the piped trousers would be very VB.&nbsp; Try them!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived#post-2042513 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 21:15:17 +0000 JAileen 2042513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket looks great on you. I think I’d like it with all black. The coat looks good, too. Just pull all the snags to the inside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived#post-2042508 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 21:12:14 +0000 Anonymous 2042508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The up-close fabric of the zebra jacket just sealed the deal for me. &nbsp;I'm a textile snob too &nbsp;(love that phrase) and this is not good. &nbsp;And, I agree with the others who said that the red plaid is outside your usual , but it does fit well, and you look great in it. It is , though, a very busy print and &nbsp;might date quickly. &nbsp; Did you like the less-expensive one Angie bought ?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived#post-2042495 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 20:56:32 +0000 Christina F. 2042495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the blazer and the boots. They also form their own little capsule! The blazer is surely a wild card for you so I guess you have to eat pretty sure at that price point... but thumbs up from me. </p> <p> As to the zebra jacket... seeing your pictures farther down the thread, I have to agree with you. I wouldn’t want something that precious either. As a fellow pet owner, I completely understand. Looks really nice, but it has to fit into your life, rather than you forcing it to fit, IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived#post-2042493 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 20:54:00 +0000 SarahD8 2042493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Initially I had the same thought as JenniNZ about the blazer -- it looks smashing on you, but not quite your usual style. Maybe, more conservative than what I think of as your style? BUT, seeing how you've styled it, I'm really coming around. The juxtaposition with graphic tees and the studded boots is great. So the question is, is that a look you are excited to play with?</p> <p>The boots are an absolute no brainer. Perfection.</p> <p>Those pulls on the zebra coat -- urgh. I'm a textile snob. But that would be a deal breaker for me.</p> <p>ETA: I don't mind the blazer open. It's better closed but fine open imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived#post-2042486 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 20:44:30 +0000 Janet 2042486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I also do agree, Roberta, that the blazer looks best closed — that’s<br /> not usually the case with me and jackets or blazers, but I suspect it’s because of the cutaway style. Interesting because my other VB jacket (a striped asymmetric moto) also looks best closed. But I don’t mind it open. </p> <p>I want to be sure this one works open as well. I welcome frank feedback on this if you all feel that it does not work when left open. I am not sure I’d be willing to spend this much on something I can *only* wear closed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived#post-2042476 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 20:37:04 +0000 Jenni NZ 2042476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, I really hesitate to say this since everyone else is so overwhelmingly positive, but to me the VB blazer doesn’t look like you? It’s more red and pattern than I usually see you in, it doesn’t look streamlined like much of your usual and especially styled with graphic tees it looks too busy.<br /> I thought I would say since you feel you have too many jackets and it’s also pricey you say.<br /> Our styles are not similar though I fully realise, so feel free to discard my thought! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived#post-2042473 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 20:35:08 +0000 Janet 2042473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!</p> <p>The boots are a no-brainer — I was wearing them around the house and almost forgot what I had on, nearly walked up the driveway in them before I caught myself.</p> <p>The more I wore the VB, the more I like it. I suppose it would be more of a slam dunk if it were in cobalt blue, but I don’t suppose I should get too stuck in my blue rut, should I? Even though I am wearing zero makeup, not even tinted moisturizer, in these pics, I don’t think the red is bad on me at all. </p> <p>I have a concern about the zebra jacket, as much as I like it. The woven pattern has a lot of looseness in the threads — there are small pulls already evident, and I’m not exactly one who can keep items pristine and snag-free. Lots of dog claws in my house. I took a few pics to show what I mean. It may not be a deal-breaker as I think they could be managed, but something to consider. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived#post-2042470 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 20:27:51 +0000 Roberta 2042470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is amazing on you. I do think that it always needs to be buttoned - it doesn't have the same sleekness when it is open. Despite loving the idea of the zebra topper, I am a little underwhelmed. For me, I would want the pattern to be bolder.&nbsp; From a distance, the stripes blur together (natures camouflage!).</p> <p>The studded boot is grand! But I also have a note to self that says "No more boots." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived#post-2042459 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 20:20:33 +0000 rachylou 2042459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! It’s all amazing on you!</p> <p>I can’t tell the difference in sizes between the two pics... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived#post-2042456 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 20:16:31 +0000 Kathie 2042456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I love all three on you. The VB blazer with the boots is an absolute winner, and I like the styling with the abstract floral. The pockets are just high enough that's it's not too much. I can't see much difference in the sizing of the two zebra jackets. How's the fit in the shoulders for each? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived#post-2042450 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 20:08:32 +0000 Anonymous 2042450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blazer and boots are fantastic! &nbsp;I expected to be more "wowed" but the zebra jacket - and I'm not sure why I'm not. &nbsp;I can't help but wish it was a little shorter than it is - there is something about the proportion with the flared jeans that is throwing me off. &nbsp;Might look different with slimmer bottoms? &nbsp;I really want the coat too, but I'm not sure now. You're a few inches taller than me, and the same size, so the coat would be positively LONG on me. &nbsp;Also - I expected to read darker than it does here....</p> <p>I must have those boots. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived#post-2042441 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 19:57:01 +0000 Joyce B 2042441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is fab on you and I am following closely how to style it as I got the same jacket . I love it with the boots as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived#post-2042432 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 19:46:50 +0000 kkards 2042432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them all. Really...<br /> I think I prefer the sizing on the larger zebra, but I tend to like things sized larger..so take that with a grain of salt. The Vb blazer -with the novelty tees-fab. And over a column of Black I think it will be TDF. The booties just feel like you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived#post-2042427 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 19:38:02 +0000 MsMaven 2042427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That VB blazer looks so good on you! All morning I've kept reminding myself that this cut that looks so good on you doesn't mean it would look good on me (and remembering the blazer I bought last year that I've only worn 2x and felt uncomfortable in.) I don't like to wear plaid a lot--but Wow! this looks so good on you! And the fact that it's red!</p> <p>All three items look great on you. And how great that they arrived so quickly.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-order-already-arrived#post-2042425 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 19:32:16 +0000 Carla 2042425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, that blazer is totally stunning on you. I also love the boots on you and now I want them too. Prefer the smaller zebra coat on you. </p>
