The great thing about a not having real leather, you won't have to worry about rain ruining it! I may have to check this jacket out! And OT but I love your minimalist closet posted in another thread. Did you have a post on your closet purge? I'd love to read about your thoughts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep/page/2#post-493801 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 13:35:40 +0000 Andrea B. 493801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late as all get out, but keep, keep, keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep/page/2#post-493772 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 09:57:59 +0000 learning curve 493772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire, good question - I think the prices on the site and the store are the same, but its been a while since I shopped in the store so I can't say it with certainty. If I am in the store in the next week or so I will definitely ask and let you know what I find out. </p> <p>And my compliments to your husband for his excellent fashion-sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep/page/2#post-493733 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 05:58:18 +0000 cciele 493733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>^ditto. The style and color are so chic on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep/page/2#post-493719 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 04:54:07 +0000 annagybe 493719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way late to the game, but it looks fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep#post-493714 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 04:32:40 +0000 Anonymous 493714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LearningCurve, that is a very good point. It was important for me to have it under the tree (since that's my husband's Christmas gift to me--he just doesn't know it yet, lol). Also I think I got the last Clay colored one in my size in my city. When I checked out, I *did* ask if they would price adjust if it went on sale and they said yes, if it went on sale in the next two weeks. You can bet I'll be on top of that! Do you happen to know if the website and stores always have the same prices? I wonder if it goes on sale online it will automatically go on sale in the stores as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep#post-493686 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 03:46:27 +0000 learning curve 493686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks fantastic - so chic and versatile. And, I personally like that it is non-leather (better for the cows)! </p> <p>I think its worth keeping at full price. Truly. However, if you want to try to get a discount on it.... I've found that Express constantly has on-line coupons, usually along the lines of 25% off $75 or more, that can be used in store and on-line. They don't advertise them on the website, but if you search(key words: "express" and "coupons") usually something will come up on one of the coupon aggregator sites. It looks like a promotion just ended yesterday. <a href="http://www.dealigg.com/story-Express-Coupons" rel="nofollow">http://www.dealigg.com/story-Express-Coupons</a></p> <p>But, based on the list of previous promotions shown on this site I'd guess there is going to be another one starting right after Christmas. I don't know if Express will price adjust, but it might be worth a try. In any case, think the jacket is cute, versatile, fits you well, and is worth it for the list price, so anything else, as my mom says, is gravy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep#post-493676 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 03:29:38 +0000 Anonymous 493676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Janet, Kelly and Jean! You guys have the best jackets, so that means a lot coming from the three of you!</p> <p>Macrame, I'll let you know how it goes with the pleather. Several of my friends have pleather jackets that I'd always assumed were real leather. I'm usually a snob about those kinds of things....like with handbags (because of the beating they take). I think I will only be wearing this for a few months of the year, so hopefully it will hold up ok. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep#post-493659 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 03:09:24 +0000 Makrame 493659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a wonderful piece that suits you very well! I usually have some reservations about pleather, too, but no first-hand experience. Seeing this jacket on you might just change my mind about pleather! I hope you'll keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep#post-493655 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 03:05:24 +0000 greenglove 493655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love this on you- the color is magnificent!! It is perfectly you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep#post-493648 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 03:02:17 +0000 kellygirl 493648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a great neutral jacket for you, Claire! Great neckline and totally hip and fun! I think it will make a great addition to your Casual capsule! I bet it will dress up pretty well too! You are so lucky that you don't have a short neck like me--I find those neck flaps strangulating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep#post-493643 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 02:58:21 +0000 Janet 493643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks fantastic! </p> <p>And faux leather doesn't bother me if the texture is nice. I have a faux leather jacket from Lucky that is very realistic in leather look and feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep#post-493637 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 02:54:49 +0000 Anonymous 493637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay Suz, I was hoping you'd check in and let me know if the color was "Suz Approved". You have a keen eye for colors that look good on us cool toned gals. Even though the color is neutral, I'm very excited for the possibilites. You are SO insightful about the victory of me paying full price, too. I knew if I loved an item enough, I would do it. I feel like this might be my (for lack of a better word) 'inspiration piece' --something that represents a turning point in my style journey. Hmmmm. I think I'll start a thread on that..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep#post-493627 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 02:44:36 +0000 Suz 493627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zut alors! C'est manifique!!! </p> <p>And you were asking if you should keep??? </p> <p>This is a fantastic piece for you, Claire. Seems to fit all your criteria, and it looks wonderful on you. That colour is SO versatile. (Hmmm....it sure would be great to find a trench in that colour, too, wouldn't it?) </p> <p>I also think it is a victory of some kind that you looked for it, tried it, loved it, and paid full price. I know that isn't easy when for years your shopping strategy was to buy only at sales or by thrifting. I'm not saying it's wrong to try to save money or wrong to look for bargains. But I suspect that most great wardrobes are built around a few key pieces that would be worth it to the wearer at almost any price. Know what I mean? </p> <p>This is so fab, and I can't wait to see what you do with it. </p> <p>Yay for the striped top, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep#post-493623 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 02:42:04 +0000 Debora 493623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KEEP!

Biker-style jackets never go out of style (I'm actually actively shopping for one right now from Danier!). I think it's a great investment even if it's not real leather. if you didn't tell us... I don't think we would have even known! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep#post-493599 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 02:03:34 +0000 lpr200 493599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you are keeping it.

I think the fabric under the arms will really help it to breathe, too.<br /> I was so overcome with gratitude for you when I tried this on, Angie, you did all the work of finding it and the fit really is amazing. And it comes in so many colors! There was nothing in the Express window displays that would have ever drawn me into that store. If it weren't for your article, I would have never known about this fab jacket! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep#post-493490 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 21:27:25 +0000 Jjsloane 493490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keeper for sure! Looks great styled as is, fit is good and you like it! And faux leather is more friendly to animals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep#post-493489 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 21:25:38 +0000 Angie 493489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>That means keep :)</p> <p>Claire, you had mentioned that the pleather might be a problem - but honestly these days, pleather is so fab it's almost like real leather! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep#post-493486 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 21:23:51 +0000 Anonymous 493486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everybody! </p> <p>Tarzy, it has knit sweater fabric on the underside of the sleeves and down the sides (including armpit area) so it might be more breathable where I need it to be.</p> <p>Rae, I can always trust you to look out for my SNP, lol! I will wear a scarf with it most of the time, I'm sure.</p> <p>Una, you're so funny! My side view would have provoked a similar response last week, I'm sure! I swear I'm like two different people. One PMSing and one regular!</p> <p>Shannon and Amy, thank you so much. I'll trust you that this jacket is ok for Parisian Chic because my book is still in the mail! I figure the jacket will work for plain old American Classic, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep#post-493477 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 21:09:50 +0000 Parsley 493477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep, keep KEEP!!<br /> That looks fantastic on you, Claire! Absolutely your style (as I see it)<br /> Unless it feels bad in person or something I think it's perfect!<br /> I love the striped tee, too.<br /> What a great look. Very Parisian chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep#post-493476 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 21:09:02 +0000 tarzy 493476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great on you! You are becoming the resident "French Chic" rep!</p> <p>My only problem with faux leather is it doesn't breathe, so I get too hot - but if you don't have that problem, this looks like a keeper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep#post-493475 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 21:08:35 +0000 catgirl 493475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well of course keep! It looks fab on you! I can't wear that color, but you sure can. Also, I have to say I am seriously envious of your side view. I took some photos this morning from the side, to show Angie "those boots", and after looking at them I felt like flinging the camera out into the snow. You are so willowy and sleek from the side view! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep#post-493474 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 21:08:10 +0000 rae 493474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KEEP! Lovely color, lovely fit, and the simple, restrained, elegant style is great for you. No crazy lapels or biker studs for you. And would you look at that? The cafe racer collar style covers your SNP, too. :)</p> <p>The striped top looks good, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeee-angies-pick-please-let-me-keep#post-493471 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 21:06:20 +0000 velvetychocolate 493471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it Claire!!
