To me, a bold statement is better if I can get it for a really low price because I'll likely only wear it a few times before the "wow" wears off for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-tux-jacket-buy-or-leave/page/2#post-1427706 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 20:49:59 +0000 catgirl 1427706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva, I'm actually glad you left it. It's A LOT of jacket, and I find that this kind of statement, in a jacket, is not worn as often for me.&nbsp; It's not a no-brainer, and I like most of my statement pieces to be easy (probably a mistake!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-tux-jacket-buy-or-leave/page/2#post-1427704 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 20:48:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1427704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It fit you beautifully, but it is definitely a statement jacket. Personally I try to make my big-ticket items the ones that I'll wear a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-tux-jacket-buy-or-leave#post-1427610 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 18:15:39 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1427610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I applaud your rationale in leaving it behind. &nbsp; I often feel a little pang when I leave something awesome behind - until I remember that something equally great, or even&nbsp;better always comes along. &nbsp; <u>Always.</u> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-tux-jacket-buy-or-leave#post-1427605 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 18:06:34 +0000 lyn67 1427605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late, I know, but I so&nbsp;loved. You'd better try Zara or H&amp;M for something similar, and so you'll get a great deal for these great visuals. I have a black animal print on a winter creamy/white background &nbsp;jacket (from H&amp;M bought 3 yrs ago-and may be found somewhere in my archives here, too)&nbsp;wich is also a lot of jacket, as Sveta said. Even I have worn it only for a few occasions, it is so special in succesfully&nbsp;giving me that &nbsp;much needed boost sometimes&nbsp;&nbsp;that I&nbsp;&nbsp;never regreted it. Mine was worn on a&nbsp;column of black (but&nbsp;built of &nbsp;plenty of interest in&nbsp;textures like&nbsp;black leather/black sequined skirt and/or black lurex/black sequined top, then same black bottoms and a white lurex top...so how many variations do&nbsp; a girl&nbsp;need more... It's all good (minus the price of yours of course, which sucks, indeed:-(.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-tux-jacket-buy-or-leave#post-1427516 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 15:46:50 +0000 viva 1427516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling, next time, please feel free to voice that negative opinion! I am really open to hearing one, especially if you can be specific about what you don't like, but even if an item just doesn't move you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-tux-jacket-buy-or-leave#post-1427496 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 15:17:31 +0000 Anonymous 1427496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think leaving it behind was the right choice. &nbsp;I did not like it at all. &nbsp;I opted not to comment though because so many other posters loved it and thought it was a great buy. &nbsp;I didn't want to be the single negative voice. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-tux-jacket-buy-or-leave#post-1427329 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 03:35:54 +0000 MsMaven 1427329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous jacket, but you were wise to think about it. I would probably have bought it and figured out what to wear later. Some times it is a tough decision when it is a really good markdown. I'm trying not to let that factor sway my decision these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-tux-jacket-buy-or-leave#post-1427242 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 00:42:50 +0000 Marilyn 1427242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great attitude, <b>viva</b>.&nbsp; I'm certain their will be more great jackets in your future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-tux-jacket-buy-or-leave#post-1427226 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 00:13:31 +0000 Suz 1427226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so disciplined.

I have to keep my imaginary life and real life in mind, too.</p> <p>Actually, that does not exclude having a seldom-worn piece in the closet for special occasions, but it can influence <u>which</u> pieces those should be. For me it's something like the special-occasion dress and&nbsp;keeping on hand&nbsp;some kind of&nbsp;dressy shoe I can actually walk in, so I will buy those shoes if and when I come across them. These don't have to be expensive items, but they still give me pause since I know I'll wear them maybe just a few times a year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-tux-jacket-buy-or-leave#post-1427128 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 21:45:13 +0000 Anonymous 1427128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well, all the power to you for having such discipline- it's only a jacket &nbsp;There will be others. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-tux-jacket-buy-or-leave#post-1427127 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 21:44:13 +0000 jackiec 1427127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great discipline!

My friend, who was with me, asked if I could think of three ways/occasions to wear it, and I said, book group this week and then twice on vacation in Nashville. I realized I just don't have the money right now to buy expensive items to be worn primarily on vacation. I know I will regret this Some day in the future but maybe then it will be a better time for me to spend $300 on such a wear-rarely piece.<br /> Thanks for the feedback and help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-tux-jacket-buy-or-leave#post-1427123 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 21:41:48 +0000 jackiec 1427123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just re-read your title - you didn't get it?.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-tux-jacket-buy-or-leave#post-1427115 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 21:37:02 +0000 jackiec 1427115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vivian, I love it on you.

Can definitely see it over a solid colour dress as well. Black or white of course but over another strong colour like fuchsia would also look fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-tux-jacket-buy-or-leave#post-1427057 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 20:00:34 +0000 Meredith 1427057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fantastic!

Anyway, if so, that gives something to connect the jacket to a &nbsp;"third color" . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-tux-jacket-buy-or-leave#post-1426975 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 17:27:20 +0000 Suz 1426975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But do Angie's outfit test. Can you think of 3 outfits you'd wear? Or maybe you only need one outfit, if you would wear that outfit a lot of times.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would also go column of colour but I do think it could be pants/ jeans/ different tops and could also maybe work with a dress or pencil skirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-tux-jacket-buy-or-leave#post-1426974 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 17:26:35 +0000 Anonymous 1426974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another aside from me &nbsp;This is such a classic cut, that it can happily sit in your closet forever without you having to worry that you aren't wearing it enough. &nbsp;Even a few times a season - it'll last forever.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-tux-jacket-buy-or-leave#post-1426972 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 17:23:09 +0000 Sveta 1426972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit looks great but it is A LOT of a jacket. It would require a very simple support act IMO, best of all column of color to not compete with it.<br />On the other hand it &nbsp;will dress up any simple outfit easily - just add cool shoes and you are done.<br />If it will be very useful for you on those conditions then I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-tux-jacket-buy-or-leave#post-1426970 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 17:22:22 +0000 Angie 1426970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer stunning. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-tux-jacket-buy-or-leave#post-1426968 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 17:20:57 +0000 Suz 1426968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is brilliant!
