I'd pass! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-big-ticket-items-burberry-veronica-beard-and-tibi#post-1827503 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 00:12:17 +0000 shiny 1827503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like the Burberry on you. I don't think the collar is overwhelming on you. I would never have guessed you have wide shoulders, or a short neck. Trust me my neck is shorter than yours. :-)</p> <p>I suggest you try it with a scarf wrapped around your neck, one you might wear in Fall/early winter. If it feels like "too much" around your neck then maybe that rules it out. But I hope not, because I like this on you a lot. Gorgeous color!</p> <p>The VB: on screen it looks great, but I didn't realize that was a dicky. I think this is one of those purchases you may need to decide based on feel rather than photos.&nbsp;</p> <p>Not crazy about the Tibi. Return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-big-ticket-items-burberry-veronica-beard-and-tibi#post-1827498 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 00:01:25 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1827498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joyce, 4 is about my usual size in jackets these days but it's very dependent on shoulder width. Sometimes I need to do a 6. Almost never a 2 though that's where I am with blouses and some pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-big-ticket-items-burberry-veronica-beard-and-tibi#post-1827459 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 22:18:09 +0000 Staysfit 1827459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sold on any of these. I think the collar on the Burberry is distracting. I think you can find something better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-big-ticket-items-burberry-veronica-beard-and-tibi#post-1827434 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 21:44:05 +0000 lozz_oz 1827434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Replying without reading the other comments - the Burberry is the keeper in my opinion! Second jackets sleeves look twisted or off; the third jacket is overwhelming and way too big on your frame.

I think you are really rocking it. Do you ever do your hair in an updo? My guess is that would also look amazing with the coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-big-ticket-items-burberry-veronica-beard-and-tibi#post-1827369 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 19:57:15 +0000 Anonymous 1827369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Burberry looks like it was made just for you.&nbsp; The shaping is so elegant!&nbsp; I don't see any issues with bulkiness or other problems.</p> <p>The other two I'll nix for the reasons others have mentioned.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-big-ticket-items-burberry-veronica-beard-and-tibi#post-1827363 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 19:50:21 +0000 Joyce B 1827363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Burberry looks fab to me, I hope you will keep it. Did you size up or is 4 your regular size? Just curious, in case I find one which will never happen...</p> <p>You can do much better than the Tibi for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-big-ticket-items-burberry-veronica-beard-and-tibi#post-1827356 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 19:40:25 +0000 Anonymous 1827356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see the Burberry coat as overwhelming or maximal.

I have to admit that the DB styling has put me off of it. It's one beautiful coat, but needs to be worn fully buttoned to look good - which is going to add frontal bulk. &nbsp;JMO. &nbsp;Love the VB fit but not the dickey, and honestly don't get the plaid oversize blazer at all. Doesn't work on your small frame. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-big-ticket-items-burberry-veronica-beard-and-tibi#post-1827268 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 16:33:20 +0000 Suz 1827268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So exciting to see these! (Not to mention, in actual daylight, in your garden!) &nbsp;</p> <p>Tibi -- I do think it is overwhelming, although styling as you might wear would probably mitigate some of that, as would cuffing the sleeves. Having said that...if we are throwing ourselves back to the 80s, this will be just the thing. I regularly wore jackets even more oversized back then and saw nothing wrong with it, though looking at photos now, I shake my head!&nbsp;</p> <p>The VB -- if it does not hang right and the dickey feels cheap, back it goes. You have plenty of great jackets and more to come. It does look nice on you from a distance. I am wondering if it might go on deeper discount later. It seems they have had quality control issues on this one.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Burberry -- beautiful coat, a beautiful blue. Seeing it on you, though, I understand what Angie meant about it being a lot of coat, especially the collar. However, I don't think it emphasizes shoulder width -- maybe the reverse, in fact! It does add a bit of bulk to the top front, of course, as it would have to. But the vertical details do mitigate that. It looks terrific on you, though, overall. Fit looks really nice.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-big-ticket-items-burberry-veronica-beard-and-tibi#post-1827263 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 16:28:56 +0000 JAileen 1827263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Burberry looks fantastic on you. Your shoulders look fine to me. I assume you'll keep it. :)</p> <p> The others are not as good. The third one looks like you're trying on your dad's coat. The middle one doesn't send me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-big-ticket-items-burberry-veronica-beard-and-tibi#post-1827262 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 16:28:02 +0000 Dianna 1827262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Burberry coat on you, stunning.&nbsp; I am not fond of the VB blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-big-ticket-items-burberry-veronica-beard-and-tibi#post-1827260 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 16:26:54 +0000 Tanya 1827260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that the Burberry looks fantastic on you and would definitely keep it.<br /> Tibi jacket looks overwhelming/too big, and thus I'd try to find akmething similar but more fitted later in the season.<br /> I returned my own VB blazer because of the sumilar fit/quality issues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-big-ticket-items-burberry-veronica-beard-and-tibi#post-1827254 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 16:18:41 +0000 Keix 1827254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Burberry on you and don't think it emphasizes your shoulders. Rather, having wider shoulders helps you carry off the large collar. I'll defer to others on the VB jacket, but it sounds like you're not in love with it. I do think that the menswear jacket looks too big, even if you hem the sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-big-ticket-items-burberry-veronica-beard-and-tibi#post-1827252 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 16:17:23 +0000 cherylm 1827252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try rolling the sleeves on the Tibi to make it sassier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-big-ticket-items-burberry-veronica-beard-and-tibi#post-1827251 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 16:16:53 +0000 bridgie 1827251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Burberry would be my first choice for you.&nbsp; I can't really see the hanging&nbsp;problem with the VB jacket, but for the price I would require perfection. And I would like to see a better looking dickey with it. So, that is my second choice.&nbsp; Tibi jacket--I don't have a third choice for you. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-big-ticket-items-burberry-veronica-beard-and-tibi#post-1827247 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 16:11:15 +0000 Karie 1827247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The oversized blazer looks too oversized on you. The VB blazer does not look like it is hanging straight. The fit looks good, but the not- hanging-straight issue would be a deal breaker for me. The Burberry looks fantastic. That one is the keeper!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-big-ticket-items-burberry-veronica-beard-and-tibi#post-1827243 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 16:04:44 +0000 Beth 1827243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eyes, the Tibi jacket looks like it's overwhelming you. And I can see what you mean about the VB jacket not hanging right; for the price it should be perfection.</p> <p>The Burberry I'll leave to more experienced eyes. The general proportions look good, but that is a whole lot of collar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-big-ticket-items-burberry-veronica-beard-and-tibi#post-1827239 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 15:59:22 +0000 Laura G 1827239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in the Burberry coat and the dark blazer. I don't see anything problematic re: shoulders. I agree the gray blazer is just too big.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love your blue suede shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/three-big-ticket-items-burberry-veronica-beard-and-tibi#post-1827237 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 15:52:12 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1827237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Burberry coat quite a bit. I have a size 4. It will not be for deep winter, and I will be wearing sweaters under it. My reservations here involve my wide shoulders and short neck -- I would like to know if the coat looks like it's adding too much bulk and emphasizing these tendencies.</p> <p>Tibi jacket. I know the mens-y plaid jacket is going to be quite a thing for this fall, but I think this one, in a size 2 is too overwhelming on a person of my 5'4" stature.</p> <p>Veronica Beard jacket. This jacket actually fits me pretty well in a 4, IMO. However the bottom hem does not hang straight (something to do with the way the lining is sewn in), and I do agree with Angie that the yarn of the dickey looks a bit like cheap acrylic.</p> <p>Nothing styled -- just wore with white for higher contrast.</p> <p>Please let me know your thoughts. Happy shopping. </p>
