I agree with Raisin though that holding off is a good idea until you have enough saved for it. There will be more beautiful clothes waiting for you when ready. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-pull-the-trigger-or-not#post-1027696 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 17:16:44 +0000 Raisin 1027696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket and the knit would be super comfy so on those points it's a total yay. If its really going to bust your budget though, I wouldn't go for that kind of stress. Maybe save for a couple months? I do love it though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-pull-the-trigger-or-not#post-1027682 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 17:03:34 +0000 Mander 1027682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been thinking about this jersey motorcycle jacket for a couple of days.&nbsp; It's pricey for me, since I have no income, but not actually expensive in the grand scheme of things.&nbsp; But I can't seem to decide if I am just trying to talk myself into it because I like it, or if it actually fills a wardrobe hole.</p> <p>The pros:<br />It's black, has that motorcycle style that I seem to be obsessed with lately, is hip-length rather than waist-length, and has a small un-fussy collar.&nbsp; Since my style is very casual I think it could work with most of my everyday outfits, which seem to almost always consist of jeans, jeans, and more jeans, but I could see this with some of my more causal dresses and skirts.&nbsp; I see this as primarily outerwear, but because it is made from sweatshirt fabric, it could be worn as a top.&nbsp; Versatile black jackets are a perpetual wardrobe hole for me -- I never seem to be able to find the right jacket and so I make do with a variety of not-quite-right items.&nbsp; And, well, I like it.&nbsp; And it would go with my new boots (see photo #2).</p> <p>The cons, and my justifications:<br />As I mentioned, I can't really afford to buy much of anything these days, although I could make it a birthday gift and use my credit card.&nbsp; I already have a lightweight black cotton moto jacket, but it is a bit short to wear with jeans and is more of a spring/summer item.&nbsp; Although I am persistently attracted to "rocker" looks and items, I don't know if I am actually cool enough in real life to pull them off.&nbsp; But I suppose that could be a style goal in itself, really. The knit fabric could also a be a con, if it turns out to be not very sturdy or durable.</p> <p>So, any thoughts?&nbsp; Should I go for it? </p>
