It's pulling across the shoulder and armpit - or do you need to pull it straight? (Sleeves are SOOO long and need alteration - mine did too).&nbsp;</p> <p>I love both pair of sunnies. Have a slight preference for #1. I like the glitz. DIFFERENT.&nbsp;</p> <p>KILLER short JP dress and light blue shoes.&nbsp;</p> <p>Vince dress would look beautiful hemmed.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-wanted-on-new-items-angies-trina-turk-coat-a-vince-slip-dress-a-james-perse-dress#post-1827797 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 14:00:52 +0000 Beth 1827797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The TT coat looks great on you and it's not in the least stumpifying. The sleeves are too long, but that's an easy fix. I also have this coat and between the volume in the body and the long sleeves it initially felt overwhelming, but once I had the sleeves shortened, it felt just right. I believe even Angie needed her sleeves altered.</p> <p>The Perse dress is really lovely on you. Great pattern and super flattering.</p> <p>The slip dress feels too lingerie-esque to my eyes and I don't love how it's fitting around your waist. I think you deserve better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-wanted-on-new-items-angies-trina-turk-coat-a-vince-slip-dress-a-james-perse-dress#post-1827713 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 09:14:20 +0000 Deb 1827713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No to the first sunnies, no to the slip dress. A possible yes to the jacket, if you take a size down. A big yes to the second sunnies and the perfect for you dress. Really like the blue shoes too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-wanted-on-new-items-angies-trina-turk-coat-a-vince-slip-dress-a-james-perse-dress#post-1827700 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 07:49:27 +0000 Gigi 1827700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't really offer an opinion on the sunnies--I'd need to see them both straight-on.</p> <p>I think the TT coat looks too big. I think you can do better.</p> <p>I like the Perse dress.</p> <p>I really like the slip dress; I think it is very flattering on you. I personally would keep the length where it is. I find that when the length gets too far above the ankles, I look stumpy and have to wear heels. But I am short (5'2").</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-wanted-on-new-items-angies-trina-turk-coat-a-vince-slip-dress-a-james-perse-dress#post-1827654 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 04:03:32 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1827654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both sunglasses look great on you. I prefer #2 for their very cool, yet fairly simple vibe.&nbsp; But if you are after glam, go for #1, with their gorgeous retro Hollywood look, dahling!<br />&nbsp;<br />I love the James Perse dress on you. Looks like perfection to me, and very flattering on you. I can't imagine what you'd be looking for in a different size.</p> <p>The Trina Turk coat. . . . Is it available in petite, and would you try it if it were? Just because the sleeves are long, and perhaps taking a little bit off the length would ease your concern about the proportions. I don't think it makes you look short, though.</p> <p>The slip dress is fabulous. I think you might want to wear a slip with it, ironically (silk on the bias does tend to cling), and I would be in the camp to prefer it a little shorter, to about 3 or 4 inches above the ankle. I think it would look more alluring that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-wanted-on-new-items-angies-trina-turk-coat-a-vince-slip-dress-a-james-perse-dress#post-1827623 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 03:11:44 +0000 goldenpig 1827623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer sunglasses #1, love the extra bit of sparkle in the corners. Like a twinkle in your eyes. The James Perse dress is fantastic on you. I'm not really feeling the slip dress, it seems so plain in comparison to the other dress. I think the coat is cute on you! The sleeves may be a bit long, but that doesn't really bother me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-wanted-on-new-items-angies-trina-turk-coat-a-vince-slip-dress-a-james-perse-dress#post-1827619 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 03:04:03 +0000 rachylou 1827619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like glasses #2. The James Perse is fantastic. And the coat is a lot better on a person than in the picture. You look real cute in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-wanted-on-new-items-angies-trina-turk-coat-a-vince-slip-dress-a-james-perse-dress#post-1827582 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 02:09:16 +0000 Sal 1827582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the second pair of glasses- I prefer less embellishment. I like the jacket but it does look too big- I think you can do better.</p> <p>Love the jp dress- gorgeous.</p> <p>Re the slip dress- I know the feeling of wanting an easy elegant summer dress, but I don't quite feel this is it. I think a pattern, or more detailing, or a different neck would be better. I honestly think these very simple dresses are so hard to wear - on all shapes, sizes and ages. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-wanted-on-new-items-angies-trina-turk-coat-a-vince-slip-dress-a-james-perse-dress#post-1827521 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 01:11:36 +0000 Windchime 1827521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote in favor of keeping--and wearing frequently--the Perse dress; it lools amazing on you!</p> <p>Do you plan to wear some sort of topper with the slip dress? </p> <p>The coat's style and color are wonderful on you, but it looks like it's too big for you, at least on my screen. Is sizing down an option? </p> <p>Sorry I can't help with the sunglasses choice; you look great in both pairs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-wanted-on-new-items-angies-trina-turk-coat-a-vince-slip-dress-a-james-perse-dress#post-1827479 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 23:07:03 +0000 Laura G 1827479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Perse wrap dress looks exactly right-sized on you, and you look good in it. The jacket looks too big. I don't see any problem with the slip dress, but I'm not quite in love with it either. And for travel, I'd be leery of anything that hints even faintly of boudoir. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-wanted-on-new-items-angies-trina-turk-coat-a-vince-slip-dress-a-james-perse-dress#post-1827456 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 22:14:11 +0000 Staysfit 1827456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sunglasses, jacket looks a bit too big but I still like it, and love love the JP dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-wanted-on-new-items-angies-trina-turk-coat-a-vince-slip-dress-a-james-perse-dress#post-1827443 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 21:59:36 +0000 lozz_oz 1827443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a quick response:<br /> Sunglasses #2; great shape jacket, but perhaps need to size down; like the striped dress; you have the figure for the slip dress - but do you love it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-wanted-on-new-items-angies-trina-turk-coat-a-vince-slip-dress-a-james-perse-dress#post-1827437 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 21:46:34 +0000 Emily K 1827437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the James Perse dress on you. &nbsp;I'm undecided about the slip dress--I'd hem it, for sure. &nbsp;But, if it were I, I'd be uncomfortable with the way it's grabbing the belly button--and wearing shape-wear to fix that would negate the ease of the dress, IMO. But, that's par-for-the-course with slip dresses, though, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-wanted-on-new-items-angies-trina-turk-coat-a-vince-slip-dress-a-james-perse-dress#post-1827420 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 21:23:19 +0000 kkards 1827420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok, looked at the actual things you asked about<br />1. love the sunnies in the 1st picture<br />2. the coat, IMO, it's very nice, but not a 10. not sure if you are only looking for 10's<br />3 love the James Perse dress. fits great. love the twist<br />4.the maxi, what can i say, if i wear dresses at all thye are maxis. i like it as is, but i think i'd like it hemmed to the length on the model&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-wanted-on-new-items-angies-trina-turk-coat-a-vince-slip-dress-a-james-perse-dress#post-1827416 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 21:16:25 +0000 kkards 1827416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>honestly...all i can see is those fab shoes!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-wanted-on-new-items-angies-trina-turk-coat-a-vince-slip-dress-a-james-perse-dress#post-1827358 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 19:42:24 +0000 Suz 1827358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The JP dress is fabulous on you -- love it! If you wanted you could try a different size for comparison, but really -- this one is great!</p> <p>I also love the coat on you apart from the sleeve length. It does not make you look short. But the sleeves would need adjustment.&nbsp;</p> <p>The slip dress -- I disagree with Lisa on the colour -- I quite like it. And I also think you wear it well. Still, I do share Lisa's slight phobia of slip dresses, period, and while this one is much better than most I see, it still has a bit of an air of the boudoir about it. Which makes sense, I know. So, take poison eye into account.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am really having trouble deciding on the glasses now. I actually like both.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-wanted-on-new-items-angies-trina-turk-coat-a-vince-slip-dress-a-james-perse-dress#post-1827352 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 19:35:31 +0000 Anonymous 1827352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That James Perse dress is TDF, and I love the TT coat (but the sleeves do need to be a bit shorter).&nbsp; Not a fan of slip dresses in general, although the one you're wearing is a lot more flattering than most I've seen.&nbsp; FAB sunglasses!</p> <p>Your trip sounds wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-wanted-on-new-items-angies-trina-turk-coat-a-vince-slip-dress-a-james-perse-dress#post-1827350 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 19:33:41 +0000 Anonymous 1827350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think everything is great.</p> <p>I would go for the biggest sunglasses.<br /> I think the Trina Turk does NOT make you look short but the sleeves seems little long.

I get that the shirt dress may be a little waist- surrendering but it looks fab. Very chic.
