Inge, I'd forgotten Shiny's coats and she is much smaller than I am! I'll go back to Stein mart and take another look. The jacket fit so well that I think it's worth the investment. (It seems like a lot of money after buying most of my wardrobe at resale shops or huge sales.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-buttons#post-62227 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 15:13:32 +0000 Stylin 62227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all. I am a size 4, barely 5'4". I bought a red fitted twill jacket a few weeks ago with oversized buttons. The buttons are the exact same colour as the jacket so I get the look of oversized buttons which I like, without overpowering my frame. I hope this helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-buttons#post-62210 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 14:44:23 +0000 medusa 62210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also think large buttons are cute and funky. I would say go for it! If you're worried about their proportion on you, maybe you could take some pictures in the store and post them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-buttons#post-62198 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 14:17:41 +0000 Inge 62198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore big buttons and think they can give an outfit/item some extra pizazz. It's one of the reasons I love Soïa &#38; Kyo coats so much.<br /> I'm not sure how the size would affect a petite person. As always it's a question of proportion and it's possible you might need to try a few on to see which one works for you.</p> <p>Did you see the pictures Shiny posted recently of her two S&#38;K coats, maybe this can give you an idea:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soia-kyo-keep-or-return?replies=20" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....replies=20</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-buttons#post-62196 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 12:14:18 +0000 Anonymous 62196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love your opinions and advice on jackets with oversized buttons and wish I could post a picture. Stein Mart doesn't have any shown on their site. I looked at Nordstroms and found only one that comes close:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3000762/0~2376788~6002242~6007533~6007553?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6007553&#038;P=2" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....3&#038;P=2</a><br /> The jacket I'm looking at is more fitted so the buttons seem more prominent.<br /> If you have seen and maybe tried on any big button jackets, especially if you are petite, what do you think?<br /> I've been on a search for light weight jackets and found some at Stein Mart last night, although most are not fitted. Many have big buttons which I'm wondering might be over powering on a small frame (size 2 or Xsmall). I'm also wondering about this big button style. Is this something I just haven't noticed before? Is it on it's way in or out?<br /> The jacket I'm interested in is their Boutique brand, fitted and short enough for skirts, in red. It's on the sale rack and there's an extra 20% off coupon this weekend, but it's still about $70. Get it or pass? Thank you for any advice you can give me. </p>
