Better ones will come your way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1107022 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 15:42:36 +0000 Beth Ann 1107022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh.&nbsp; I know this feeling.&nbsp; Still, you have a great track record with online purchases.&nbsp; Onward and upward! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1106972 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 13:54:07 +0000 Suz 1106972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you for holding firm, Astrid. The money's better spent elsewhere if the fit is off.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1106970 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 13:51:06 +0000 Astrid 1106970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Got them today and they both didn't work out. The velvet one was too big in the shoulders in both sizes. The cord blazer fit in the shoulders, but the fit was off elsewhere. It's too bad, but I thought of PPP and it's just not good enough, even though the color is georgeous and the price is right. I'm going to keep looking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1103023 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 22:43:44 +0000 Thistle 1103023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am biased and absolutely love the velvet one. Can't wait to see them on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1103020 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 22:42:46 +0000 E 1103020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're both gorgeous colours! And I love the texture. I think you'll have to wait and see which one works best. I can't pick a favourite at this stage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1103000 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 22:13:33 +0000 Alassë 1103000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The green one especially jumped out at me (for you). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1102948 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 20:17:43 +0000 Anonymous 1102948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can really see you in both of those colours Astrid. Love them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1102946 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 20:12:14 +0000 Astrid 1102946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rae!</p> <p>Thanks Gracie! The velvet one is just a tad shorter when you go after the descriptions, but the difference is so little it shouldn't be obvious. They should both be cut waist accentuating.</p> <p>Thanks Peacechick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1102920 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 19:07:55 +0000 peacechick 1102920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both! Agree that they don't serve the same function. The red velvet could be dressy with your maxi or casual-luxe with jeans, the cord is a great denim alternative. You look great in color, so let's hope the fit works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1102917 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 19:03:28 +0000 Gracie 1102917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the cord one for you, color and texture.&nbsp; Is the pink one shorter and boxier?... I have a blazer very similar (velvet, cranberry but) to the one shown and I find I just don't reach for it other than for holidays/winter parties – I need to fix that and wear it more often now!&nbsp; I hope they both fit so that you truly have the final choice of which one to keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1102906 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 18:46:28 +0000 rae 1102906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look so cozy and fun - good thing you are trying both! Agree that fit should decide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1102885 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 18:07:30 +0000 Astrid 1102885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Manidipa! I hope the fit makes it easy to decide, because I would have a hard time chosing one over the other. I don't think I'd keep both - I still want another pair of boots and two blazers just aren't in the budget, what with Christmas shopping and everything.</p> <p>Thanks Ornella! I ordered two sizes of the velvet one, they still had all the colors in all sizes stocked. Then I had another look around and found the green cord blazer (and there was exactly one - my - size left). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1102854 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 17:35:32 +0000 Ornella 1102854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, it's your threads that are dangerous :-D</p> <p>I think the green one would be more versatile with your current wardrobe or what I know of it.</p> <p>But the velvet one might be a black horse here - remembering how lovely you looked in pink puffer, this jacket might be as tempting.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1102848 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 17:29:08 +0000 ManidipaM 1102848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! I saw the first thumb and went 'wow, what a great colour for Astrid!' and then at the second 'but wait! This is SO Astrid she has to have it'. Couldn't you keep both? Because I fear it's down to fit now and what if both look as fab as they seem??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1102837 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 17:09:05 +0000 Astrid 1102837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Amiable! Yes, it looks fantastic on my screen.</p> <p>Thanks Pil! I thought so too, good to hear it shouldn't be a problem.</p> <p>Thanks Suz! It might, although it's not a cropped length to go with skirts. I also have two other dressy tops on order, one of those might also be an option for the long skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1102831 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 17:01:28 +0000 Suz 1102831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - I am hoping #1 works out and I wonder if it will work with your long skirt for more dressy occasions. I like them both, actually. And you can definitely wear the red at other times of the year as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1102829 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 17:01:03 +0000 pil 1102829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are nice, Astrid. The green color really has your name on it. The way I see it the velvet is dressier than the corduroy, but you could still wear it the same way. It's not too holiday-ish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1102825 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 16:58:27 +0000 amiable 1102825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear that velvet one three seasons, and I can see it working well for you in many seasons also. &nbsp;Totally love that color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1102821 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 16:54:18 +0000 Astrid 1102821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Beth Ann! I hadn't thought of the holidays, but you're right that #1 would be lovely. Do you think it looks to much like 'Christmas' to wear it later on? Because I don't want one that I can only wear that time of the year... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1102815 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 16:42:41 +0000 Beth Ann 1102815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh!&nbsp; Can't wait to see them both.&nbsp; They are each lovely -- #1 is perfect for the holidays, #2 perfect for those short January days! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sale-codes-are-dangerous#post-1102809 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 16:39:23 +0000 Astrid 1102809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>.... because I just couldn't resist ordering both this velvet and cord blazer when I got an additional 20% off already marked down items. I wanted to get a casual blazer for a while, but they were always too expensive, not my color, wrong fabric etc. I really hope one of them works out (and hopfully not both of them)! Which one do you like better? #1 is velvet, #2 is cord. </p>
