So nice to occasionally dress for one's fantasy life.</p> <p>Claire, you are SO not old enough to be my mom. But you can be my cooler older sister whose clothes I steal (read: copy) sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popover-sizing-disappointment-express-moto-decision#post-598741 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:38:18 +0000 Anonymous 598741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the black jacket on you! Is it the asymmetrical one? You must have it. As much as I love mine, I wouldn't duplicate it. What if something comes along next fall that you like even more? Sorry to be your Mom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popover-sizing-disappointment-express-moto-decision#post-598724 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:17:28 +0000 fern 598724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any jacket that makes you pose like that is a keeper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popover-sizing-disappointment-express-moto-decision#post-598713 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:04:17 +0000 bj1111 598713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>please do NOT give neo his jacket back. you are too cute in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popover-sizing-disappointment-express-moto-decision#post-598694 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:31:45 +0000 Sylvie 598694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all. :)</p> <p>I ordered the larger size of popover last night. *crossing my fingers it fits this time*</p> <p>I do have a polka dot blouse with much smaller dots that this was intended to replace. The blouse passes the husband filter when layered underneath something so the dots are less prominent. I really am motivated to make this top work - in my head, I can see it being worn with the blue halogen skirt and my black waist belt.</p> <p>The cognac is a brighter color and has different colored hardware, as you can see in this thread below:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reconsidering-the-express-leather-jacket" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....her-jacket</a></p> <p>This morning, I'm feeling it isn't sensible to keep both when I don't know how well these jackets are going to wear or their workhorse potential. I'm concerned the stretchy ribbing fabric at the side may fade/pill after a year and I'd need to replace the jacket anyway. Eventually, I'd probably want to upgrade to an all pleather jacket that would last a little longer.</p> <p>My strategy will be:</p> <p>1) Just wear the black jacket for now and hold off on the cognac. See how it feels after a few uses.</p> <p>2) Try styling the cognac jacket with a few outfits and see how easy it is to make it work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popover-sizing-disappointment-express-moto-decision#post-598577 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 14:13:21 +0000 Transcona Shannon 598577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is fab and definitely a keeper. I would be tempted to get the other colour as well - I have two of the exact same leather jackets, one in cognac and one in navy. When you find a good fit it's not a bad thing to duplicate.</p> <p>I like the popover and think a size up would work really well. But if you're not feeling the dotty love, then pass it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popover-sizing-disappointment-express-moto-decision#post-598567 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 14:03:51 +0000 rute 598567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the jacket! I don't see why you can't duplicate (different colors) if you really love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popover-sizing-disappointment-express-moto-decision#post-598555 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 13:32:23 +0000 Sara L. 598555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket looks good on you. The polka dot blouse looks good too because I can't tell from the picture that it's so tight. If you like the blouse, I would size up. If the polka dots are going to make you self-conscious then I would just return it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popover-sizing-disappointment-express-moto-decision#post-598553 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 13:23:08 +0000 texstyle 598553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Polka dots aren't for everyone but I agree, the dot size can make a difference. I find this to be true with stripes too. I prefer either very thin widely spaced stripes or very large stripes over the more equal strips that for some reason make my eyes hurt. I used to have this very pretty black and white polka dot dress - LOVED it but it was so memorable that I felt I could only wear it a couple of times before everyone "knew" it.</p> <p>I'd like to see a better photo of the jacket before giving an opinion - the side shot doesn't show much to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popover-sizing-disappointment-express-moto-decision#post-598551 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 13:20:41 +0000 modgrl 598551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The popover is cute! It would go with any of your halogen skirts tucked in too.<br /> Sorry hubby is not a fan. Can you try to size up or is that not an option? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popover-sizing-disappointment-express-moto-decision#post-598545 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 13:15:27 +0000 Laura 598545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Size up! That popover should be longer in length, too, shouldn't it?<br /> I don't think the dots look clownish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popover-sizing-disappointment-express-moto-decision#post-598512 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 10:18:13 +0000 Fruitful 598512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is amazing! Have you tried the cognac on? Sometimes multiple colours is practical; sometimes an item works better in one shade and the other gets neglected. Which scenario will you find yourself in?</p> <p>Polka dots are a question of taste and your husband finding them clownish suggests he just doesn't like them; you certainly don't look clownish, it's lovely on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popover-sizing-disappointment-express-moto-decision#post-598511 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 10:10:11 +0000 ManidipaM 598511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is the other colour quite bright? As in, would it function more as a bright than a neutral? Both may be a good idea if so... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popover-sizing-disappointment-express-moto-decision#post-598483 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 06:33:43 +0000 Sylvie 598483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fashionista: The polka dots remind him of clown outfits. I think it's due to the size of the dots.</p> <p>Deborah: Thank you! Two jackets = so tempting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popover-sizing-disappointment-express-moto-decision#post-598481 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 06:11:02 +0000 Deborah 598481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore the blouse / pop over. I think it really suits you. </p> <p>The jacket is awesome and I would be tempted to keep both if they looked that good on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popover-sizing-disappointment-express-moto-decision#post-598476 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 05:56:12 +0000 fashionista 598476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your pose in 2 really is making that jacket look like donned by a spy. But I love the jacket and that blouse too. Why did your husband think it clownish? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popover-sizing-disappointment-express-moto-decision#post-598473 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 05:50:17 +0000 Sylvie 598473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1) Despite what it looks like, the popover is skin-tight around the hips. I could try sizing up, but am not sure if it's worth it. The husband was not a fan of the polka dots - he thought they looked clownish. What do you think?</p> <p>2) The black express moto is the opposite of a disappointment. I feel like a spy/straight out of the Matrix. I'm half tempted to keep the cognac as well, especially with the current buy one, get one 50% off sale, but having two identical jackets in different colors is probably overkill, right? </p>
