How is it to your eye? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-go-back-for-this-rust-suede-jacket#post-528994 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 17:19:14 +0000 Angie 528994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it me or am I more of a spanner in 2012? It's not a conscious thing - just the way it's working out I guess! I hope NOT to be crowned Queen Spanner. </p> <p>I forgot to mention that the jacket would look great un-zipped, Rae. Go back for sure, especially since you are wearing a skirt today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-go-back-for-this-rust-suede-jacket#post-528988 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 17:12:26 +0000 rae 528988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Angie comes through with a different verdict! I am wearing a skirt today, so will go back after work today and have another look. Thankfully there were two in my size last night, so it will hopefully still be there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-go-back-for-this-rust-suede-jacket#post-528905 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:47:21 +0000 Mochi 528905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie has a point and so does Shannon. I would think it would work better left open, and with skirts or dresses? Maybe there's just too much trouser overshadowing the jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-go-back-for-this-rust-suede-jacket#post-528871 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:12:18 +0000 Transcona Shannon 528871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief that's a gorgeous colour on you Rae - I like the cropped style and the fit is pretty good - I would just wear it open. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-go-back-for-this-rust-suede-jacket#post-528867 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:09:23 +0000 Angie 528867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a KILLER item (suede jacket) to add to your work wear capsule. It reflects your style persona in a professional way, which is not an easy accomplishment. It's cropped nature makes it ideal for frocks, skirts and especially midis. </p> <p>I would think harder about snapping up this jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-go-back-for-this-rust-suede-jacket#post-528866 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:09:16 +0000 Lisa 528866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this but don't love it on you. And especially on pieces that stick around longer such as jackets and blazers, I think they should be "wow" pieces. I vote hold for something better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-go-back-for-this-rust-suede-jacket#post-528773 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:14:01 +0000 Mochi 528773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rust is an awesome color on you (if you didn't already know...) and there are some very cool details on this jacket. But something about the fit seems off to me in a very hard-to-pin-down way. Or maybe it's not fit, but proportions. It is very short, and it could be the combo with the high-waisted pants that does it? But I'm sure I'll be in the minority. There's a lot to like about it, but good that you're proceeding with caution considering the refund policy... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-go-back-for-this-rust-suede-jacket#post-528735 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 07:45:56 +0000 rae 528735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not overwhelming love, so I won't break my neck to go back for now. Exchanges only, so that is a big factor. If I can go back and try it with a skirt, I'll do so. Thanks, everyone! It's hard for me to walk away from a deal, and you all really helped with the shaky palms and chills, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-go-back-for-this-rust-suede-jacket#post-528708 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 05:46:45 +0000 Tina 528708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You need to try it with a different bottom before you'll know. These pants are so wrong with this jacket it is hard to see past that. I like the lapel too and the color is great. Can you return it if you find it doesn't work? I vote for you to buy and try:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-go-back-for-this-rust-suede-jacket#post-528651 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 04:30:37 +0000 Anonymous 528651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think your perky young girls look sad, but sometimes suede and leather jackets can have a flattening effect if they don't have darts or princess seams. It looks great in pic 1 and just a little wrinkled (from packing maybe?) in the second picture. Snaps are fine, I think.</p> <p>I really like the cropped length for dresses and skirts, the color seems good and I could totally see you styling this piece all up! Is it new? IOW, can you return it if you bring it home and it doesn't play well? Seems good for work wear to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-go-back-for-this-rust-suede-jacket#post-528643 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 04:21:46 +0000 annagybe 528643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't like where I think the rivets for the pockets are placed. Yes it's cheap, but not worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-go-back-for-this-rust-suede-jacket#post-528642 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 04:20:04 +0000 Carole 528642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would like to help, but this is over my head. Taking notes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-go-back-for-this-rust-suede-jacket#post-528628 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 03:52:31 +0000 Kari 528628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, now that I'm off my iPhone, I see that there are additional pictures that I wasn't initially able to view. In the second photo, it looks like there's some pulling between the buttons?</p> <p>The "nipple" thing didn't occur to me, though, and I think your girls look great in pic #1 - it's just the pulling in #2 that's making me do a double-take. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-go-back-for-this-rust-suede-jacket#post-528626 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 03:47:18 +0000 cciele 528626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love cropped jackets and think this can work with pants and skirts, but you'll need to find the proportions that work with you. I commonly wear cropped jackets that short with pants, but my tops are much longer, like tunic length! </p> <p>And LOL at the nipple comment -- that didn't occur to me at all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-go-back-for-this-rust-suede-jacket#post-528608 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 03:12:30 +0000 modgrl 528608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure, it is making your girls look sad. Did you try it unzipped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-go-back-for-this-rust-suede-jacket#post-528604 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 03:07:58 +0000 Kari 528604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color and cropped length a lot. I can see this working in your bus-cas wardrobe as long as you're pairing it with dressier pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-go-back-for-this-rust-suede-jacket#post-528600 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 03:05:22 +0000 rae 528600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Real suede, $52. I was all set to get it, but then looked at the pics on my phone. I would wear with skirts, so it may be that the pants are making it seem too short. Not sure. </p> <p>Fits like a second skin, and I like how the lapels stay flipped open. Would want to wear with button-front shirts and pencil skirts for work. Concerns: is rust suede too casual? And are the snaps of the pockets placed so far up that they look like nipples? o_0</p> <p>ETA pic of faux leather jacket for comparison... I think Rita may be right about the rust making my girls look sad. </p>
