Can't wait to see it on you!

I think it shows styling potential. As someone who has purchased from many flash sales sites over the past few years... - Gilt is usually priced higher than the others. Case in point -- I just got a pair of wedge booties from Ash on Rue for $129; they were selling the same pair a few weeks later, but in few color choices, on Gilt for $159. - There is so much cr*p on these sites, it gets tiresome wading through it but every once in a while there are some high-quality bargains. I got a Dolce & Gabanna silk shirt and just ordered Frette sheets from Ideeli. - I find the best deal is on shoes and some premium denim. - Beware of merchandise produced just for the discount channel. A lot of the stuff on these sites is the same stuff that has been made exclusively for Loehmans, Marshalls etc. This may have a fancy brand name like Hanky Panky but the actual merchandise quality is not up to par. - If I see something I like, I almost always search for it first to see if it really is a good deal. There are items that are the same price on Amazon, for example, but there is no deadline to purchase. I had a credit on Gilt for 9 months and finally gave in and just purchased some jewelry that I am saving to give as gifts. I delete most of their daily emails but sometimes I enjoy browsing, so I haven't unsubscribed yet.

It's very cute and has a lot of potential ;-) I unsubscribed from all those 'hurry up and buy' sites. I LOVE to return and hate to lose $$ doing it. Store credits are annoying too. . . geetha on "Should I try this jacket from Gilt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-try-this-jacket-from-gilt#post-407495 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 03:06:07 +0000 geetha 407495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ cute jacket but keep in mind it looks good on the model because she has a long torso. catgirl on "Should I try this jacket from Gilt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-try-this-jacket-from-gilt#post-407453 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 01:32:02 +0000 catgirl 407453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yep. They just give you a label and subtract it from your refund. san on "Should I try this jacket from Gilt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-try-this-jacket-from-gilt#post-407441 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 01:12:23 +0000 san 407441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Does seem like a hassle. Do you mean that you have to pay shipping if you choose to have a cash refund? catgirl on "Should I try this jacket from Gilt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-try-this-jacket-from-gilt#post-407433 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 00:58:31 +0000 catgirl 407433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sandy, I've only bought one thing there, a while back. You get free returns if you take a credit, or not free returns if you want cash back. I figured I'd find something else, but it is such a pain to shop there. nicoleb on "Should I try this jacket from Gilt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-try-this-jacket-from-gilt#post-407399 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 23:33:49 +0000 nicoleb 407399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Can't wait to see it on you Una! I hope it works out! san on "Should I try this jacket from Gilt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-try-this-jacket-from-gilt#post-407396 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 23:28:52 +0000 san 407396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Does Gilt give only a credit when you return? No money back? I wouldn't want to go that way that's for sure. I'm unsure on the jacket. It seems like one of those things where you just are not going to know if it works until you try it. I'm looking forward to seeing a pic of it on you. What type of top will you wear under it? catgirl on "Should I try this jacket from Gilt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-try-this-jacket-from-gilt#post-407384 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 22:25:37 +0000 catgirl 407384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nicola, that's why I liked it - the neckline is still open and the cropped shape should be better on stubby me. I did go ahead and order it, just to not have to check Gilt any more! Anonymous on "Should I try this jacket from Gilt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-try-this-jacket-from-gilt#post-407383 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 22:24:20 +0000 Anonymous 407383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it and there's no harm in trying. Although double breasted, it does have a nice open neckline and the buttons cinch in under the bust, so the shape is fab. elpgal on "Should I try this jacket from Gilt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-try-this-jacket-from-gilt#post-407367 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 22:04:57 +0000 elpgal 407367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I wonder how it will 'fall' if you wear it open. Cropped + double-breasted is what makes me hesitate. Nakidra on "Should I try this jacket from Gilt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-try-this-jacket-from-gilt#post-407365 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 22:02:57 +0000 Nakidra 407365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The jacket is okay, I think that you could wear it open especially since it's appears to be sort of cropped. I'm not a huge double breasted jacket fan, but they can be cute if you wear it open ... if you have a credit, you may as well use it, right? AJ on "Should I try this jacket from Gilt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-try-this-jacket-from-gilt#post-407356 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 21:43:02 +0000 AJ 407356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it's worth a try. modgrl on "Should I try this jacket from Gilt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-try-this-jacket-from-gilt#post-407342 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 21:17:06 +0000 modgrl 407342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Honestly, I don't like having only a short time to decide about something, and if it doesn't work get stuck with a credit. That's just not how I shop. I need to stew and consider something for a while. I am not really an impulse buyer for that kind of stuff. catgirl on "Should I try this jacket from Gilt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-try-this-jacket-from-gilt#post-407338 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 21:10:30 +0000 catgirl 407338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Rita, just curious why you are done. That article really resonated with me and I also find it stressful and irritating to have to panic every day about checking or missing out. Even at the price points a lot of things are not calling to me. Thanks for the feedback on the jacket! I'm still holding it in my basket - I really just want to be done with having to check the site incessantly. modgrl on "Should I try this jacket from Gilt?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-try-this-jacket-from-gilt#post-407335 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 21:06:50 +0000 modgrl 407335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have a credit from Ideeli that I need to blow and then I am done too. I am kinda meh on the jacket. I don't find double breasted jackets that flattering for petites.... although I just got a casual MOTG fall double breasted jacket but I plan to wear it open. It is a tough trick to wear a double breasted jacket open. It doesn't work for most.

It's this grey/green blazer - a color I do not own in work jackets. What do we think? I am sick of checking the site, and after I use the credit I'm probably giving up on them...
