Now I wanna keep finding jackets too!!!!</p> <p>PS: Have you considered getting your special occasion dress made by a seamstress instead of buying one at the store? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/there-seems-to-be-a-pattern-here#post-1669111 Sun, 29 May 2016 13:33:57 +0000 JAileen 1669111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha!

I am having the exact opposite issue: I'm looking for jackets that might work for me and coming home with dresses instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/there-seems-to-be-a-pattern-here#post-1669101 Sun, 29 May 2016 13:17:06 +0000 Chris987 1669101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this jacket!!! Looks like the sleeves can be folded up as much as desired, which would solve the problem I have with every leather jacket I've ever tried on - if it fits in the body/shoulders the sleeves are too long. </p> <p>Where did you find it? </p> <p>The wardrobe gods are trying to tell you you are a jacket girl, not a dress girl LOL!&nbsp; They will keep telling you until you are assimilated into jacket-land! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/there-seems-to-be-a-pattern-here#post-1669096 Sun, 29 May 2016 13:05:45 +0000 Colette 1669096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, I have such a difficult time letting some things go, maybe recouping even a small part of my investment would make it easier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/there-seems-to-be-a-pattern-here#post-1669091 Sun, 29 May 2016 12:46:39 +0000 Murph11 1669091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love this! Bring it home! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/there-seems-to-be-a-pattern-here#post-1669082 Sun, 29 May 2016 12:09:46 +0000 Janet 1669082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colette, I had one that had always been tight in the arms, and I finally just realized I never wore it for that reason -- sold on eBay! And I had actually found that my grey, white, and blue leather jackets all filled the black jacket niche quite nicely. Still, there are times when black works best, and it's nice to have a casual solution. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/there-seems-to-be-a-pattern-here#post-1669079 Sun, 29 May 2016 11:56:30 +0000 Colette 1669079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I'm trying to talk myself out of something I apply my walk away test. If I'm still thinking about it the next day, I go back. So, you passed my test and I give you full permission to go back and add the jacket to your collection. It's actually a very cool looking jacket, fits you well, and suits your style.</p> <p>I'm impressed you got rid of your old black leather jackets. I am still holding on to mine, even though the fit is off and I really need to just let them go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/there-seems-to-be-a-pattern-here#post-1669077 Sun, 29 May 2016 11:40:22 +0000 Janet 1669077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For every dress that I try on in store that doesn't quite work for me (not counting all the ones that have just been laughably wrong), I seem to find a jacket that I fall in love with. I took a photo of my latest obsession. I keep thinking about it and might have to go back. I've let go of my old black leather jackets (except the Helmut Lang which I adore but the wrap/drape front makes it work only for specific outfits and especially dresses). </p> <p>This one is faux leather but very nice, with a very soft and lightweight faux fur lining on sleeves and collar. I like the way the light fur lightens up the possible harshness of the black jacket against my skin. I only got a pic with it open, but it looks good closed too. Very reasonable price. If it hadn't been 80 degrees and I hadn't had somewhere I needed to be in 15 minutes, I would have probably worn it right out of the store. The only downside to this is that it is now getting too hot to even think about a jacket, so this one, and the Veronica Beard one, will be waiting for fall temps before I can wear them.</p> <p>So my possible occasion dress budget seems to be going toward jackets instead! Surprise, surprise. </p>
