I would like that&nbsp; myself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-new-jacket-and-wiw-430-51#post-1654546 Tue, 03 May 2016 21:07:52 +0000 jill58 1654546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, my husband has done the 5 Boro Bike Tour many times (we live upstate) -- he always has a great time. I'm more of a runner than a biker but hope to do it some year myself, if I can convince him to stay overnight rather than getting up at 4:00 am and driving down. </p> Oh, and I like the jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-new-jacket-and-wiw-430-51#post-1654354 Tue, 03 May 2016 14:31:04 +0000 Sara L. 1654354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice new jacket!&nbsp; I love the blue jacket and scarf in your second outfit.&nbsp; Congratuations on finishing the ride despite the crummy weather.&nbsp; I'm definitely a fair weather person and would have probably wimped out (plus I'm really not used to rain living where I do).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-new-jacket-and-wiw-430-51#post-1654297 Tue, 03 May 2016 13:00:54 +0000 Eliza 1654297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow- I bet that jacket will be in active rotation come fall. Great shape and you'll create a lot of looks with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-new-jacket-and-wiw-430-51#post-1654289 Tue, 03 May 2016 12:46:41 +0000 Suz 1654289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful fit on that new jacket -- gorgeous! Love your riding gear as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-new-jacket-and-wiw-430-51#post-1654279 Tue, 03 May 2016 12:13:03 +0000 Colette 1654279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The longer jacket looks great. I'm actually happy longer jackets are making a come back, I've always enjoyed them for the MBC (maximum butt coverage). I love your bright orange riding gear. That's quite the long ride in horrible weather, I would have found a coffee shop and given up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-new-jacket-and-wiw-430-51#post-1654104 Tue, 03 May 2016 01:26:35 +0000 Karie 1654104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the longer jacket on you and congrats on completing the bike ride, especially in awful weather! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-new-jacket-and-wiw-430-51#post-1654048 Mon, 02 May 2016 22:49:34 +0000 Aida 1654048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great jacket! Queen Jacket should definitely spiff up her jacket collection now and then ^^ Loving the casual look (cobalt is such a WOW color on you Janet); it has a great urban/rock/boho/sporty vibe to it. The bike race sounds fun! Woohoo for the bright orange jacket and being easily recognizable </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-new-jacket-and-wiw-430-51#post-1653845 Mon, 02 May 2016 16:46:14 +0000 Laurie 1653845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bike gear is really fab! I believe in being seen (and being fashionable of course).<br />&nbsp;Remind me about that ride next year - hip should be all better soon and look forward to crawling my way back to being in shape. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-new-jacket-and-wiw-430-51#post-1653801 Mon, 02 May 2016 14:34:38 +0000 JAileen 1653801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really look fab in the blue jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-new-jacket-and-wiw-430-51#post-1653762 Mon, 02 May 2016 13:42:26 +0000 Anonymous 1653762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your new jacket--always nice having pieces toanticipate wearing when autumn comes back around, and this will be super versatile. Fab piping detail and cut! </p> <p>I agree with Angie--cobalt suits you so well! When I bought the kit &amp; ace cobalt scarf a couple of weeks ago, I though, 'This would look brilliant on Janet!" </p> <p>Congrats on the bike ride! Glad you got to reward your accomplishment with some new purchases! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-new-jacket-and-wiw-430-51#post-1653754 Mon, 02 May 2016 13:28:10 +0000 Janet 1653754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, Vivian! Too funny! I was actually pretty darn visible in my coral/orange jacket and orange bike -- my friends said it was easy to find me in the crowd when we got separated. The rain was punishing at times, but I would do it again. :-)</p> <p>Thanks for the validation on the jacket. Two jacket purchases in a weekend is a bit much, but I did get rid of some older ones recently that I just was not enjoying anymore. These, I will enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-new-jacket-and-wiw-430-51#post-1653752 Mon, 02 May 2016 13:20:56 +0000 viva 1653752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet: First, I love that long jacket on you. So gorgeous, fits beautifully. Second, I am sad that we were so close to one another but did not meet! I was also in NYC this weekend, and yesterday (5/1) our Uber in Queens (Long Island City) was held up because of the bike race! Wish I could have seen you. :(&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-new-jacket-and-wiw-430-51#post-1653560 Sun, 01 May 2016 22:28:18 +0000 Anonymous 1653560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the menswear coat - and funny, just yesterday I was wishing out loud that whatever blazer I was wearing had an interior breat pocket. &nbsp;</p> <p>Good stuff on the bike race - that's a huge challenge in lousy weather!&nbsp;</p> <p>Una - Century21 - off-price madhouse :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-new-jacket-and-wiw-430-51#post-1653558 Sun, 01 May 2016 22:23:26 +0000 Janet 1653558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Century 21 in NYC -- a huge discount store that carries a wide variety of brands, some of them high-end designer. I usually feel too overwhelmed in there to actually buy anything, but this was the exception. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-new-jacket-and-wiw-430-51#post-1653542 Sun, 01 May 2016 21:56:10 +0000 catgirl 1653542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is C21? You look great in these longer jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-new-jacket-and-wiw-430-51#post-1653541 Sun, 01 May 2016 21:55:32 +0000 Janet 1653541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie! I'll check out that dress, and I agree that the open jacket is best. I was buttoning it mainly to show fit. I hadn't really thought of wearing it with sneaks, but you gave me a great idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-new-jacket-and-wiw-430-51#post-1653540 Sun, 01 May 2016 21:52:52 +0000 Angie 1653540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that first jacket worn open in #2. And it's VERY fun and spunky with the sneaks. You remind me of the street style in Cologne. Sporty Chic Polish.&nbsp;</p> <p>Cobalt blue<b> loves</b> you - and I collected the frock below (GREAT price), just for you, Janet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-new-jacket-and-wiw-430-51#post-1653538 Sun, 01 May 2016 21:51:47 +0000 Anonymous 1653538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the longer jacket on you and the men's wear tailoring is a great bonus. How I wish women's jackets had interior pockets more often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-new-jacket-and-wiw-430-51#post-1653498 Sun, 01 May 2016 20:12:03 +0000 Janet 1653498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Posting from a hotel room, so light is not great, but here is the grey flannel jacket from C21 -- it won't get worn until fall, but considering how I've fallen for longer jackets lately, it was hard to pass this up. It's by Lot78, a brand I am unfamiliar with, but it seems nicely made, fully lined, with inside pockets (nice menswear touch), and a soft wool blend fabric. I think the tipping is faux leather. </p> <p>Pic 6 is my outfit from yesterday, worn for the bike expo and wandering around NYC all day long! Shoes are the Paul Green flatform loafers, but they're cut off in the pic.</p> <p>Pic 7 was today -- I rode the 5 Boro Bike Tour! Four hours and forty miles in weather that was 50 degrees and ranging from sprinkling rain to pelting, pouring rain. I wrung out my socks when I got back to the hotel. This pic was pre-ride. I rode with a friend who came out for the ride from Seattle, and we chuckled that the weather there is 75 and sunny, which is usually how it is for the 5BBT. Still, it was a great experience! </p>
