I love the peplum jacket in 11-12.<br /> I like the leather front pants on you, but oh boy, they looked so horribly unflattering on me. I could not find a size going either up or down that was cut well.<br /> The bomber is such a cute piece! I love the jacket in #3 as well, but understand it not really filling a need despite looking great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-size-try-on-and-purchases#post-1829077 Tue, 25 Jul 2017 03:55:33 +0000 Evie 1829077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Frannie. Your description is super helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-size-try-on-and-purchases#post-1829074 Tue, 25 Jul 2017 03:46:45 +0000 frannieb 1829074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Trouve jacket is awesome. I can wear an XL in straight sizes and it fit me perfectly. I have narrow shoulders, my arms are normal sized and i had enough room. It zipped easily over my chest.<br /> I love statement toppers and this one is a beauty. It is a heavier material so i wont be wearing it for a while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-size-try-on-and-purchases#post-1828997 Tue, 25 Jul 2017 01:23:13 +0000 Dianna 1828997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loved everything you bought, but that Trouvé jacket looks amazing on you. So pretty.&nbsp; I liked it on the website, and read Angie´s comments, but it looks so much better on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-size-try-on-and-purchases#post-1828927 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 22:38:27 +0000 Evie 1828927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Frannie, I am interested in ordering the Trouvé leopard print jacket. It looks fabulous on you! How did you find the fit? Did you order your regular size...or did you go up or down in size? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-size-try-on-and-purchases#post-1823970 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 12:31:20 +0000 frannieb 1823970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Njw yes i saw the long black jackets. Sorry to say i didn't try any. Do to my body shape the shoulders always get to slouchy if i fit my hips. So i am a cropped jacket gal.<br /> What i can say i was highly tempted by the Vince one you linked. All the Vince clothing was gorgeous and the fabrics gorgeous with beautiful seam detailing. Of the long toppers i would say that Vince one and EF ones were the best i saw. If it is a style that works for you i would definitly try it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-size-try-on-and-purchases#post-1823939 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 11:29:10 +0000 njw 1823939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There were several longer black jackets like this one below, did you see any ? &nbsp;Thoughts? &nbsp;I want one to wear as a jacket, not a "coat"?</p> <p>Vince Camuto long jacket <a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-camuto-long-jacket-plus-size/4627231?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;fashionsize=Plus%201X%20(14-16W)&amp;fashioncolor=RICH%20BLACK">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vi.....sonalizeds</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-size-try-on-and-purchases#post-1823902 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 06:23:26 +0000 rachylou 1823902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Frannie!

Love your hair. Also, congrats on getting out of your too-stressful role and finding your dream job. Forum member Karie also does literacy work. I used to be a volunteer literacy tutor and I know it is some of the most important work in the world.&nbsp;</p> <p>I LOVE that peplum on you! Wildcard for the win!!! I also adore the leopard peplum - did you buy that one, too? I wasn't sure. The shape is fantastic on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Looks like you got some good solid essentials also. Great shopping and always good to get reviews.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plus-size-try-on-and-purchases#post-1823796 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 01:26:15 +0000 frannieb 1823796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Edited to add finds and fix typos since original post was done on my phone:</p> <p>Over the last year my style has really evolved and I don't have to dress up as much as i used to - i have a closet full of pencil skirts that saw almost no wear this last year.<br /> I have returned to the style i always wore as a teacher - black bottom, tunic or fun blazer. I'm also shopping less. In May i did a huge summer refresh and I'm taking the sale as a chance to complete my evolution. I should mention my fall/winter colors are maroon, grey, black<br /> On to the try ons<br /> 1. Faux leather bomber and black legging - bought both<br /> 2. Green utility jacket with legging from outfit one - bought<br /> 3. A beautiful burgundy leather jacket that felt like butter - did not buy i have three leather jackets that didn't get much wear last year and it felt a bit heavy to be an indoor topper<br /> 4. Blazer - looks bad - nope<br /> 5. Comfy side zip sweatshirt - no<br /> 6. Pink bell sleeve top to big in plus size tried on straight size and decided no - bright pink just isn't my think - as an accent yes<br /> 7. Faux front legging - loved and bought<br /> 8 EF tunic - bought<br /> 9 blue button up peplum this is a complete wildcard for me I don't normally do bottun up but i liked this one - bought<br /> 10. Straight size bell sleeve top - so comfy<br /> 11. &amp;12 peplum m leather jacket - love everyone in rhe dressing room loved it on me - i had like the worst jeans and sandals for trying on tops - bought and can't wait to start wearing<br /> 13. Not shown black Vince pants and black NYDJ pants - both bought<br /> 14 not shown EF moto legging - baggy in the knees on me<br /> 15. I dont know how i didn't take a pic but a wonderful black top with peplum and bell sleeves - it looked great on. In finds now</p> <p>Completed with buying the grey rag and bone booties, black AGL with studs and the leopard print earth shoes.</p> <p>I am happy with how i did i set my budget and stayed right in it and now i am done with my shopping. </p>
