If not I am interested in measurements! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-size-doesnt-matter-kr/page/2#post-1169983 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 05:03:14 +0000 CocoLion 1169983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of them, but worn with the slouchy jeans and pointy flats, the first one wins. &nbsp;I think #2 and #3 need to be differently styled. &nbsp;I saw you are selling the second one, are you sure you would be so ready to sell it? &nbsp;I could see it with white or black, but it needs a different silhouette from slouchy jeans. &nbsp;Like ankle pants or wider legged trousers. &nbsp;Or, track pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-size-doesnt-matter-kr/page/2#post-1169953 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 04:09:02 +0000 Anonymous 1169953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your solution. The two jackets look different enough that both may have a role in your wardrobe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-size-doesnt-matter-kr/page/2#post-1169927 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 03:32:38 +0000 Anonymous 1169927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good call Shevia! I just had to say how incredible those slouchy jeans and boots are! I could hardly look at the blazers they are so fab. (And of course I chose the third blazer since I am uber-classic, but I think the first is the most fashionable. Enjoy!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-size-doesnt-matter-kr/page/2#post-1169881 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 02:48:17 +0000 Jaime 1169881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an interesting&nbsp;mixed bag of opinions! I have decided to do what E and some others have suggested and try to sell the Lanai and let the Gabe B hang around a while until I see if I ever grab it. I am keeping the TT, I really am happy whenever I put it on, but agree these weren't the ideal jeans to showcase its virtues! Thank you so much for your honest, thoughtful, encouraging and fun feedback - this means you!</p> <p>(I am going to list the Lanai on the style exchange if anyone is interested.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-size-doesnt-matter-kr/page/2#post-1169684 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 00:00:49 +0000 Karie 1169684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep them all!

The sleeve length is perfect and I think the overall cut looks the best on you. The other two are great jackets, too, but don't compare to the first one, IMO, and I doubt you would choose either of them over #1. Fabulous demonstration of the difference in fit between jackets of the same brand with different tag sizes, though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-size-doesnt-matter-kr#post-1169456 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 19:38:37 +0000 Day Vies 1169456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you must keep only one I vote for #4&amp;5. I love the classic details and think you'll get lots of wear out of it. <b></b>Bonus that it came from by way of thrift store. I love how you've styled it here with super casual jeans and a relaxed top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-size-doesnt-matter-kr#post-1169448 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 19:30:30 +0000 Inge 1169448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am no help, because I really love all three on you, Shevia. Sorry;-)<br />(Fab jeans and top too) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-size-doesnt-matter-kr#post-1169411 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 18:54:15 +0000 Thistle 1169411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am responding without reading the other comments.</p> <p>I really like all three on you, especially #1. If it were me, I would be keeping them all and not parting with any! If I could only keep 1, it would be the first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-size-doesnt-matter-kr#post-1169407 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 18:51:08 +0000 Gigi 1169407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #3. I think the proportions are much better than those in #1; #1 seems to cut you in half. But I am big on classic dressing! I'd be interested to see how Grey Rainbow's suggestion about changing the lower leg volume would affect the look of&nbsp;#1.</p> <p>If you are keeping #1, I don't know that I would keep #3 also--I think they are too similar.</p> <p>I love the color of #2, but I don't like the fit of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-size-doesnt-matter-kr#post-1169372 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 18:17:41 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1169372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, my opinion is opposite to almost everyone's. I guess my eye isn't up to date, but 1 just looks too big to me (maybe with slim pants? Maybe?). The color of 2 is great but it's a length more for skirts than pants. 3 looks like a workhorse piece if you don't already have a black blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-size-doesnt-matter-kr#post-1169361 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 18:05:14 +0000 Grey Rainbow 1169361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye all of these work in different ways. I see in the comments you're leaning toward 1 as a keeper. That's my favorite on you. With the lower stance, I'd do either more or less volume in the lower leg. I have this jacket (agree runs large), and like it with flowy wide leg trousers or harem pants, or slim skirt and boots/booties. The cut allows for waist surrendering tops even with wider bottoms. 2 is a great color on you but fit is not as interesting. I've tried the lanai in just about every fabric and agree odd fit in shoulders and that throws off the body. 3 fits well, great proportions on you. I have the Gabe too and it is a well fitting, versatile, functional little blazer. Useful, more than interesting. You do wear black well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-size-doesnt-matter-kr#post-1169286 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 16:47:23 +0000 Anonymous 1169286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote to keep #1 and #3 too. They both look great on you and the shapes (the first one more dramatic and maybe avant-garde and the other one more relaxed) seem different enough to justify both. I love the color of the second one, but the bright blue in that very angular, streamlined cut kind of makes me think either Star Trek or '80s power suit somehow. Which may just be my own issues, but it sounds like you don't love the fit of that one anyway.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-size-doesnt-matter-kr#post-1169284 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 16:46:05 +0000 donnat 1169284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all really nice. #1 is my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-size-doesnt-matter-kr#post-1169230 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 15:27:11 +0000 E 1169230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sizing is crazy! I find you stunning in all of them actually: those sharp, geometric lines are beautiful on you. But if you don't feel good in 2, off it goes! ;)&nbsp;As to whether you should keep 1 &amp; 3, why don't you let 3 live in your closet for awhile and see if you ever reach for it? If you don't after a month or two, you can sell it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-size-doesnt-matter-kr#post-1169229 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 15:25:53 +0000 Jaime 1169229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your super sweet and helpful comments.</p> <p>Ornella, you are a sweetheart, thank you!</p> <p>Suz, who would have thought going grey would open up so many bookending possibilities huh? :-)</p> <p>Angie, I am always delighted when you find the time to chime in - thank you (and I am glad you agree #1 should stay)!</p> <p>I would like to go on and address everyone but my son is waiting for me to chauffeur him.

I love them all. &nbsp;<br />I just saw that you're not crazy about the fit of the Lanai. &nbsp;Of course you should go with how it feels but it actually <i>looks</i> like a great fit to me. &nbsp;I'm not seeing that armpit pooch that many of us (including me) seem to get with that particular style. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-size-doesnt-matter-kr#post-1169198 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 14:47:24 +0000 Angie 1169198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah. Hectically inconsistent sizing.&nbsp;</p> <p>#1 is the most fashionable and my&nbsp;best. But #2 and #3 are 10s too. You look fab in all of these, Shevia. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-size-doesnt-matter-kr#post-1169197 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 14:46:45 +0000 Suz 1169197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm useless. I'd tell you to keep them all!&nbsp;</p> <p>But definitely keep #1. It's a for sure.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do think it's sufficiently different from #3 that they might be worn in different situations...but that may be more apparent in real life than in photos.&nbsp;</p> <p>If the Lanai doesn't feel right, off it goes. No point in hanging onto something just for the sake of it, you know?&nbsp;</p> <p>You look amazing in al of these, by the way, and I love the way the fading on your jeans echoes your hair. Stunning.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-size-doesnt-matter-kr#post-1169195 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 14:44:40 +0000 Claudia 1169195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, to my eye no. 1 is the most classic cut, the others are too cropped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-size-doesnt-matter-kr#post-1169194 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 14:43:02 +0000 Jules 1169194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I don't really have an eye for these jackets, but just wanted to say I am finding that blue VERY striking with your hair, and even if you don't keep that one (I would....), you need more of that colour in your life </p>
