This is why I have wish lists and figure out wardrobe holes before I'm "allowed" to shop. I don't do casual shopping or internet shopping anymore either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stop-me#post-278615 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 18:34:44 +0000 Lisa 278615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think jackets of this style are best to shop for in the fall, thicker materials usually available then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stop-me#post-278563 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 16:07:56 +0000 Queen Mum 278563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the firsts few weeks are the toughest. hang in there... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stop-me#post-278510 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 10:47:24 +0000 rute 278510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These aviator jackets were very in this winter but next winter new pieces will come and you will want a more trendy jacket!<br /> In addition, you are on a 70's vibe and that jacket is not 70's inspired! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stop-me#post-278473 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 06:34:45 +0000 cciele 278473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, if you must break SYC, you should at least spring for real leather and shearling ;)</p> <p>But I know how hard it is when you see a piece on someone else...sigh. Be strong, girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stop-me#post-278428 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 05:06:34 +0000 Marley 278428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una - a Quiksilver fake leather jacket is SOOOOO not worth it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stop-me#post-278396 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 04:29:10 +0000 taylor 278396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel your pain...I am always the first to crack </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stop-me#post-278372 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 04:03:28 +0000 yardshark 278372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Kyle. It's a common cut, so you can find it in better materials later. If I were going to buy a jacket for over $100 I'd rather it be leather or wool or something nicer. This jacket is PLASTIC ya know. Think of the environment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stop-me#post-278371 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 04:03:22 +0000 Sveta 278371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Kyle, Una - your style is much better than this jacket. Just shop your closet - I am sure there are tons of amazing stuff there (judging by your recent posts :-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stop-me#post-278360 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 03:50:15 +0000 Kyle 278360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I think you can do better, and I am being honest. This is not special enough for you and your unique style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stop-me#post-278293 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 02:33:16 +0000 catgirl 278293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So wise, the lot of you! I'm discovering that my problem is not seeing items in a store or online, it's when I see them on someone else and love the total look here or on fashion blogs... Weakness, begone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stop-me#post-278267 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 01:25:09 +0000 crwilson 278267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Remember, it will probably still be there later if you want it. Besides, you want to be able to say that you made it more than 10 days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stop-me#post-278261 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 01:05:12 +0000 chewyspaghetti 278261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just<br /> Say No!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stop-me#post-278244 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 00:45:01 +0000 catgirl 278244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, you're probably right about that. And MaryK, thank you. You all are like first responders to an emergency! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stop-me#post-278241 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 00:43:14 +0000 Mo 278241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about if I try and convince you that since it's a juniors surf brand, it is likely to be cut too narrow in the shoulders yet still be big in the waist? Did I help? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stop-me#post-278240 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 00:42:34 +0000 catgirl 278240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, you're awesome. Although spring is four to five months away here... *gritting teeth* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stop-me#post-278239 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 00:42:27 +0000 MsMary 278239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Repeat after me: "That's a rockin' cute jacket. But I am S-ing my C, so I am going to close my browser and get on with my life." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stop-me#post-278238 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 00:41:14 +0000 Tanya 278238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, no matter how gorgeous the jacket is, you do not need it! Spring is coming soon, and you will want to buy some cute lightweight things.</p> <p>(How did I do?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-stop-me#post-278237 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 00:39:22 +0000 catgirl 278237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First temptation - I should never have clicked on the link from the blog where I saw this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.quiksilver.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4201619" rel="nofollow">http://www.quiksilver.com/prod.....Id=4201619</a> </p>
