I whole heartedly agree with Mr. Suz. You look wonderful in this jacket. Must keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle/page/2#post-1058503 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 14:33:52 +0000 Beth Ann 1058503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it with the sweater, Suz!&nbsp; Will this jacket pair well with any of the berry/burgundy in your closet?&nbsp; I think it might be lovely with deeper colors, too, and perhaps a lovely brown, in a addition to your beloved taupe!</p> <p>As for your hair, I do think the transition would be pretty seamless, and making adjustments if you didn't like it would be pretty straightforward, as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle/page/2#post-1058496 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 14:24:06 +0000 unfrumped 1058496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not tryiing to "sell" the jacket, but I think sometimes topper decisions have several layers (no pun intended). If you wear a lot of certain colors as your tops and dresses, then often you want a topper that is a different color or enough contrast to look interesting but that "goes". Your outfit is not static, but may be sans-topper much of the time or event, but then with topper in the restaurant or when the play begins or whatever.&nbsp;Further, &nbsp;in theory or reality, &nbsp;white jackets or shirts &nbsp;may "wash you out" if not careful, &nbsp;but may have an important role in the overall outfit or capsule.&nbsp; I have collected some creamy -colored jackets (trying to get the best version in terms of coolness or grayed-white or whatever), because although that color is not my best color for tops in general, it's incredibly useful to toss on over the darker or medium tones that are in the rest of the outfit, and also&nbsp;is part of the spring and summer vibe overall.</p> <p>Color choices are a good question to ponder, &nbsp;as in IK's thread, and&nbsp;I definitely&nbsp;have needed to develop more focus to&nbsp;avoid getting helter-skelter and having lots of orphans or single-outfit items. And there's always the idea that if certain colors are "best," why would we wear any others? But in all of that, there is some room for the more dynamic nature of colors and contrasts IRL as well as for variety. I think the thing that helps me decide on some items that might not be my "normal" colors is whether it goes with lots of things I already have even if in&nbsp;a different way, rather than pushing me to make a lot of new purchases to make it work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle/page/2#post-1058290 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 09:45:41 +0000 krishnidoux 1058290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so sorry to disagree with everyone here... I think you look lovely, and you have styled this jacket artfully, but I am not thrilled with it on you. It may be my computer screen, but it looks like it washes you out. I feel you need more pigment. Maybe if you accessorized it with a fushia or hot pink scarf or turtle-neck... sorry I tell you the truth from what I see on my end.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the hair, you need a skilled colorist to try out the silver shade that would go best with your skin tone. You might be able to pull it off, à la Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada. (not the same cut though!). But I would be cautious and have a good talk with the colorist. What you might need, in fact, for the moment, are low-light in a darker cool ash shade, or darker beige.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle/page/2#post-1058289 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 09:40:54 +0000 Inge 1058289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was a fan from the get-go, Suz, and still love the jacket as much in the outdoors photos. The style is beautiful, and the colour is so flattering on you. I vote keep </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle/page/2#post-1058228 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 06:40:32 +0000 havers 1058228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wrinkles? What wrinkles?

I don't want to look like my younger self.&nbsp;I want to look like my current self. To me, that's okay. Now, I do admit, if I start growing out the grey and it's truly unflattering and you know...<b>FLAT</b>...and <b>DRAB.</b>..well, then I think I'd want to give a little hand to nature. But that might not involve going blonde; it might involve some process to make it look more silver or something.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle/page/2#post-1058054 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 01:32:29 +0000 Jjsloane 1058054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly how could you not keep it with that sweater and your darling Mr. liking it?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle/page/2#post-1058052 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 01:24:53 +0000 Gaylene 1058052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd go with Mr. Suz on this one. Personally, I've always used Mr. Gaylene as my reality check because he actually sees my clothes in action. If he likes something, it's usually because he thinks I look good when I wear it--end of story. His fashion know-how is limited, but he does have an excellent eye for what fits and flatters me, and how bad can it be to wear something that makes me look good in my daily life?</p> <p>And I love the multi-toned look of your hair. I've hesitated to comment any more on your other thread, but I get a little antsy at the common assumption that looking older is a no-no. My aim is to look like a smashing version of my current age, not a sort-of version of who I used to be in my younger incarnation. And you look pretty smashing these days, Miss Suz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle/page/2#post-1058037 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 01:06:32 +0000 Dottie 1058037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the color is very flattering for you and goes beautifully with the sweater booties. &nbsp;I definitely say keep it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle/page/2#post-1058013 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 00:34:50 +0000 deb 1058013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does look like the it has more blue in it than the other picture. It looks really good with your skin tone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle/page/2#post-1057994 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 00:21:13 +0000 MsMary 1057994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't vote earlier, but I'm a Team Keep for sure!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle#post-1057992 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 00:16:25 +0000 Sarah A 1057992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I was a naysayer in that indoor light but here... It does look very flattering to your complexion. I'll go ditto on what IK said... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle#post-1057987 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 00:11:23 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 1057987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty in pink.&nbsp; I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle#post-1057974 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 00:04:09 +0000 Gracie 1057974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color and lines of the jacket mixed with the playful sweater, and it looks gorgeous with your coloring.

Bonus that Mr. Suz likes it. If you'll find yourself reaching for it, then keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle#post-1057900 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 23:11:47 +0000 Adelfa 1057900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color outdoors doesn't look the same to me at all! (I just checked to make sure--yup.) I love the cool light pink it shows up to be here. I also think your styling with the sweater and jeans is especially attractive. Definitely keepable if you like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle#post-1057898 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 23:08:27 +0000 Peri 1057898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it.

It flatters your soft coloring and fair hair... and is a perfect mate for that polka dot sweater.&nbsp;The cut of the jacket is also very flattering. Your DH may be right about this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle#post-1057855 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 22:20:29 +0000 Suz 1057855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like having multi-colour hair, Nicole! I've always had it (even in childhood) and it's always felt like a positive to me. I have no idea why.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for all your opinions. I'm now leaning towards keeping the jacket. Chuckling about Denise's comment. If hair thickness is what men love, then I should have a retinue of slavish followers!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle#post-1057845 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 22:13:14 +0000 Nicole D 1057845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must say I like the colour better in natural light. &nbsp;I think I have almost the same number of hair colours as you, and practically the same cut! &nbsp;That is one thing I complained to my hairdresser about (too many colours)&nbsp;and she suggested&nbsp;doing another dye job in between my highlights (which I only do every 3 months). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle#post-1057843 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 22:11:49 +0000 ironkurtin 1057843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If having him love it makes you feel amazing in it, keep.</p> <p>If having him love it will not make you wear it more often, don't.</p> <p>Not to dismiss Mr. Suz, but he won't be having it hang in his closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle#post-1057842 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 22:09:42 +0000 unfrumped 1057842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it provides a change. I'm hopelessly classic so i may gravitate toward that, but instead of seeing it as too tame, I think this cut and fit are much more what I think looks good than the 2 jackets I tried recently- it has a slimmer slightly more elongated. fit. Also you said it was lightweight, which I thought gives you a seasonal benefit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pink-wrinkle#post-1057827 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 21:52:43 +0000 Parsley 1057827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that jacket is a bit of a departure for you, but in a good way. It does us good to&nbsp;shake things up a little from time to time, and that is a very flattering color for you. And if you make Mr. Suz happy by listening to his opinion, well, all the better!<br />I'm eager to follow your hair experiment and see how you like it. I don't think it will be as huge a change as it would for someone with darker hair to start out with. You may just end up with "Nature's highlights". </p>
