The set looks great on you, even if it's a bit outside your fashion zone. I agree that the silk bomber could be a unique touch! As for the footwear and topper, trust your gut and go for what makes you feel confident. If the event allows it, the black/gold shoes and a black denim jacket sound cool! But hey, if you're unsure, maybe it's worth keeping the set for another occasion? Either way, you rock it! </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324481 Sun, 28 May 2023 05:36:38 +0000 Eliza 2324481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad it feels right to keep it. Looks great on you, gives your bomber a raison d’être and you get to experience the pay. off of your outfit creation time. </p> <p>I do get how easily one can at times feel too ‘visibly’ fashion focused for current conditions or one’s own mood. It’s been a prolonged transitional time here, full of re-assessments and some competing priority lists. Stepping off my merry go round can be compelling at times… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324453 Sat, 27 May 2023 14:15:16 +0000 unfrumped 2324453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think this was a kind of serendipity.<br /> The party “requirements” are ridiculous ( and rude) and put people at risk of overspending for it, or wearing whatever, maybe being snubbed ( so what, but still). </p> <p>But in this case you found something that is actually ” you”, and wearable in your real life. Win- win! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324447 Sat, 27 May 2023 11:35:12 +0000 Staysfit 2324447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Obviously late to this thread, and I didn’t take the time to read what you or anyone else wrote, I skipped to the fun part! &nbsp;:-) &nbsp;I love this!

I think it looks amazing on you, just missing some accessories... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324317 Thu, 25 May 2023 23:53:53 +0000 CarolS 2324317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL -- ok -- I just mean if that bomber makes you happy, maybe giving yourself permission to "throw it on" a bit more would also make you happy. Or not., in which case the current save for special strategy remains the perfect way for you to enjoy it </p> <p>It's such a lovely piece and looks so good on you. :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324311 Thu, 25 May 2023 23:17:30 +0000 Cee 2324311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me impressed ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324305 Thu, 25 May 2023 21:58:29 +0000 Aquamarine 2324305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late here…yikes to the party! WTH??

And that would NOT make me happy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324292 Thu, 25 May 2023 15:07:33 +0000 CarolS 2324292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear you are feeling more sorted about both outfit and event, Lisa. I hope you will get tons of enjoyment from it - and yay to wearing the bomber more. (Plus, why the heck not just throw it over jeans and a white t shirt just because it makes you happy? It sounds to me like the embodiment of easy, elegant but casual style. ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324291 Thu, 25 May 2023 14:26:19 +0000 RobinF 2324291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!

(the outfit and the champagne ha!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324286 Thu, 25 May 2023 13:18:32 +0000 LJP 2324286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all - I've calmed down somewhat , lol. &nbsp;I am keeping the outfit for two reasons: it fits, I think it could be surprisingly useful, and it pushes my boundaries in dressing. &nbsp;It's not expensive, and won't require a tailor for hemming (raw hems ftw!) . &nbsp;I have the shoes and bag, ,lots of good jewellery to choose from, and I'm taking the bomber as an over-the-shoulder piece if it gets really chilly at night . Plus I'm bringing a nice bottle of champagne as a gift ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324285 Thu, 25 May 2023 13:12:34 +0000 Carla 2324285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What&nbsp;<b>Mary Beth&nbsp;</b>wrote…</p> <p> <div><br /></div><div>…and&nbsp;yes, people still wear pashminas. &nbsp;I wore mine during my UK travels, and I saw other folks (women and men) wearing similar. To me a pashmina or proper scarf makes more sense then the Instagram trend of wrapping a sweater around your neck!&nbsp;<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>FWIW, the coat I got from Mango was shipped from Spain. &nbsp;Made in Morocco, fabric from Italy. &nbsp;Makes more sense to me than items sold in Canada that are&nbsp;made in China. &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324284 Thu, 25 May 2023 13:04:32 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2324284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off, I love that suit alone, and with the bomber! &nbsp;You look like a million bucks! &nbsp;I’m really digging the Issey Miyake vibes. &nbsp;I think the blazer is okay, but it’s reading kind of “corporate” to me. &nbsp;The bomber has swagger, and the set feels authentically you.</p> <div><br /></div><div>Setting aside all of the nonsense about this event… &nbsp;I think you should only keep this outfit if you feel a happy little thrill when you put it on and see the stone cold fox looking back at you in the mirror. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>If there is time in the returns window, maybe let it sit for a couple of days. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>The event itself… WOW. &nbsp; Holy . &nbsp;It’s not the house or the landscaping fund that’s the red flag: &nbsp;it’s that they’re dictating the colors their guests are wearing! &nbsp; These seem like some high-maintenance people. &nbsp;For my part, I would plead a migraine.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you can’t politely bow out, then take charge of where you are in this situation. &nbsp;I say wear something bold and audacious, with some swagger. &nbsp;Make a reasonable gift to the landscaping fund. &nbsp;And make some plans for an after-event treat for yourself - maybe a late nightcap somewhere fun, or a bubble bath when you get home. &nbsp; Treat yourself.</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324283 Thu, 25 May 2023 12:40:19 +0000 Ginger 2324283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late to this discussion, but I just want to add that this outfit with the bomber Wow'd me. And I am not Wow'd easily! I agree with getting distance from this event mentally and consider the pieces for the future as well. That is one terrific outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324223 Wed, 24 May 2023 16:20:12 +0000 slim cat 2324223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The details about the event are influencing the whole outfit buying/trying/wearing process. Just take a bit of time and distance yourself mentally from all the "white noise" surrounding the engagement party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324204 Wed, 24 May 2023 15:16:28 +0000 missvee 2324204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to the discussion, but the set reminds me of Issey Miyake pieces -timeless yet slightly avant garde. &nbsp;It’s looks great on you, and the bomber is the perfect topper. &nbsp;That said, if you don’t love it, send it back. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324200 Wed, 24 May 2023 15:06:09 +0000 Kyle 2324200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not reading the other comments yet — I’ll go back — I just wanted to say how much I LOVE this on you with both light toppers and the light shoes. Wow. I think I’m astounded to see how beautiful brown can be on someone with the right coloring for it because it’s a big no for me. I’m thinking of so many potential color combos for this set. And it looks great without a topper, too. Do post a photo before you head out the door to your event, please. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324196 Wed, 24 May 2023 14:57:35 +0000 LaPed 2324196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The star here is the silky floral bomber! If you haven't been wearing it because you don't have good completer pieces, this Mango set may fit the bill. That said, if I haven't cut the tags and I'm already feeling hesitant or negative about a new piece, that means it needs to go back! It's a shame the teen had to go and make remarks; my DH has inadvertently "ruined" a few pieces for me that way. :(&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324191 Wed, 24 May 2023 14:38:03 +0000 Elizabeth P 2324191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I love this Lisa.&nbsp; And I think it's the kind of thing you'll end up getting lots of wear out of, as an easy, dressy, don't have to think about set (esp when warmer and you don't need a topper, or for a winter party).&nbsp; Finding things in your colour palette isn't easy, so for that alone I'd be tempted to keep (I have a friend who really struggles with dressier things to wear in the the warmer palette).&nbsp; I like it with the bomber - as others said, it's fabulous!&nbsp; <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>And I totally get your thoughts on the event.&nbsp; If I may... WTF!?<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324189 Wed, 24 May 2023 14:32:33 +0000 Suz 2324189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, having read the rest, I can see why you are feeling ambivalent about the party.&nbsp;</p> <p>Never mind. You will look fab and surely there will be a true friend or two you can commune with while munching the catered canapés.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324187 Wed, 24 May 2023 14:27:08 +0000 Suz 2324187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I haven't read the comments yet, but first, I <b>love</b> the set and seriously do not see "too much fashion" or whatever -- I see elegant ease! It looks great on you. Fantastic colour and easily workable as separates as well, moving into autumn -- for those hot September days when you are wanting fall colours but can't bear long sleeves etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>Equally I love the bomber (alone or with other stuff, or with this set). -- so unique and pretty! Why have you been hiding that? Wear it!&nbsp;</p> <p>However, I think I prefer the blazer for this event (at least as I imagine it) but you will know your context better.&nbsp;</p> <p>And the SHOES! I love the shoes -- so pretty!! Interesting details and a lovely shape!&nbsp;</p> <p>Back to read the comments, but if it were me, I am pretty sure I'd be keeping this outfit for this event or some other. The brown is really lovely on you. You glow in it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324184 Wed, 24 May 2023 13:58:53 +0000 Indigoprint 2324184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa do you like that " gather some of the topper fabric into a elastic on the inside" technique to give a fluid top some shape? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set/page/2#post-2324182 Wed, 24 May 2023 13:36:43 +0000 RobinF 2324182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it too! Seems like it would be an easy thing to throw on with a jacket and have a whole outfit. I like it with the linen jacket but especially with those shoes peeping out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set#post-2324178 Wed, 24 May 2023 13:29:51 +0000 LJP 2324178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To answer a few questions above :</p> <p>Brooklyn - what I mean by " too *fashion*" for me ? &nbsp;The whole trendy 2-pce set /flowy long pant, pleated jersey etc.....maybe it's just that it's so much dressier than anything I wear now . &nbsp;It feels perhaps less authentic than what I'd hoped for. &nbsp;</p> <p>Angie - ...why don't I wear this bomber ? I have had it for probably 7 years, and bet I've worn it 4 times. It requires tops that are pretty specific in colour and that I can rarely find. I'm not one to toss a random printed jacket over a white t-shirt and jeans and call it an outfit. &nbsp;Maybe I should though - haha. &nbsp;Question though: do people wear pashminas anymore? I sure don't see them on social media .&nbsp;</p> <p>I feel caught in that space between wanting to look good, but not wanting to put the work into it . Now I'll obsess all day at work over shoes and blazers . &nbsp;</p> <p>Lastly- can I tell you all why I'm ambivalent about this party ? &nbsp;The two young people -age 27 - are moving into a huge custom built home later this summer &nbsp;that is worth more than anything any of us has ever or will ever live in. &nbsp;Her father is a plastic surgeon and gave them a ton of money to build the house. &nbsp;So apparently we can "contribute to their landscaping fund" for the new house as a gift. &nbsp; What?? &nbsp; That was such a huge turn-off and expression of entitlement. &nbsp;I've lost it with this whole thing. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set#post-2324168 Wed, 24 May 2023 12:53:45 +0000 Kate 2324168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore the set. Looks fabulous on you, and yes! to the high contrast shoes. Spanner here in that I am not crazy about the bomber with it. Do you even need a topper? If so, I vote for the blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set#post-2324164 Wed, 24 May 2023 12:42:34 +0000 Helena 2324164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Was going to chime in on how great this looks (it does!) but what struck me first was that you don't seem happy with it. To me that's a dealbreaker. However, what Angie said makes sense ... if you need something for this event anyways, then maybe hold off on the return until you feel a little better about things generally and try it again?</p> <p>That said, if you're generally 'meh' about the whole event, then I'd be inclined to make something in your wardrobe work "good enough" rather than spending money on something that's only going to hit that threshold anyway.&nbsp;</p> <p>Btw love that linen blazer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set#post-2324163 Wed, 24 May 2023 12:34:42 +0000 Indigoprint 2324163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>looks great with both, but I like the Blazer best. Such a great column of color for you. Seems like you could generate lots of summer outfits with it. I kind of like that it comes from Spain...Also would look super with those dark sandals in your future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sorry-me-again-kr-mango-set#post-2324162 Wed, 24 May 2023 12:31:55 +0000 LJP 2324162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For context : it’s an engagement party for the son of close friends . It will be held in the backyard of the house of the bride’s mother ( huge custom home on the river ) . I’m not concerned about being underdressed - at all . </p> <p>The top can’t be tucked - the pants have no structure and are super high waisted . I may shorten it a bit though , or see what it looks like shorter . </p> <p>Thank you all very much for your comments . Absolutely appreciated . By the time I went to bed last night I had decided to return it as I am feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by clothing and shopping and fashion in general . It shouldn’t be this much work . </p>
