I love the tunic and the jacket.

I'm trying to wear one new thing each day this week, although have been too busy to take pics unfortunately. Can't wait to wear the docs and campers, but its still just a bit too warm! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63766 Tue, 05 May 2009 10:23:11 +0000 Inge 63766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back Tam!!! You look radiant!! What a marvellous holiday, and such fan-tas-tic purchases, WOW!!</p> <p>Not buying that purple leather jacket would have been a big mistake! Angie is right, don't let it out of your sight, and hire a bodyguard, just to be on the safe side;-)</p> <p>The dress looks fabulous too, and how you rock a pair of leggings. Admiring sigh!</p> <p>Please post pics of the Docs (hope you love them!) and the Campers soon too.</p> <p>You must be smiling full-time at the moment, being surrounded by all those lovelies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63612 Mon, 04 May 2009 14:43:37 +0000 Sarah 63612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Put me on the list of jacket hijackers! Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63590 Mon, 04 May 2009 10:43:45 +0000 yublocka 63590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow I am truly overwhelmed by all the positive feedback. Thanks so much!! I should seriously print out this thread to read whenever I feel down it made me smile that much!!! </p> <p>Thank you for validating my purchase!! After having already bought 2 jackets on the trip I was feeling a tad over-indulgent, but I did have a leather jacket on my list of things I would love to buy. I highly recommend the store to Darnier to anyone else visiting Toronto - they had a massive range of styles and colours instore and very reasonable prices!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63575 Mon, 04 May 2009 04:36:25 +0000 Sihaya 63575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome Tam and nice to see you on the forum again. I just had to add my drools over the jacket and just how glowing and wonderful you look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63552 Mon, 04 May 2009 02:41:17 +0000 anne 63552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks wonderful Tam! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63551 Mon, 04 May 2009 02:41:12 +0000 bella 63551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yummy moto jacket, I wanna steal it too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63532 Mon, 04 May 2009 01:23:25 +0000 taylor 63532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well we all LOVE that PURPLE!!</p> <p>I'm with Angie on the treatment and care. I treat my shoes but not the leather jackets I own. I have always been told by the retailers.."No need to treat it...it is leather" confusing , although I have never had any water spotting issues with them.</p> <p>You look great in everything </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63527 Mon, 04 May 2009 01:05:35 +0000 Alecia 63527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More gushing, Tam! That jacket is incredible. It was made for you - and that outfit. What a great outfit. So fun. I can't wait to see the other things you found on your trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63515 Sun, 03 May 2009 23:30:30 +0000 Anonymous 63515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63506 Sun, 03 May 2009 22:59:51 +0000 Kari 63506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both the jacket and dress are so well suited for your style and your body. What great finds! How was your trip? (Edited: never mind, I just saw your other thread below!)</p> <p>I know for leather jackets you can apply a leather protector to keep it waterproof or condition it from time to time if it is dry. That being said, I still have a black leather jacket that I got in high school (though now it is a touch too snug in the hips so I usually wear it open) and have not applied any preventative treatments to it. The edges of the sleeves &#38; leather around the zipper are a little bit lighter due to being rubbed more often, but it's not ripped or cracked and the coat still looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63505 Sun, 03 May 2009 22:58:54 +0000 Kristen 63505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THAT JACKET IS FABULOUS BEYOND THE TELLING OF IT.</p> <p>OMG. Want. Waaaaaaant.</p> <p>The cut (love that little extra edge on the bottom), the color, the style. It's just...total perfection. </p> <p>It is SO great for your coloring, too; you are absolutely sparkling in it! And you can totally tell that you love it; look at your grin and saucy poses! </p> <p>Amazing. I'll bet you wear it a lot more than just for the Vespa. If I were you, I would sleep in it. *g* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63504 Sun, 03 May 2009 22:55:49 +0000 Maya 63504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm convinced you had that jacket custom made for you. Now I know what Angie means when she says she is in orbit! It might be my favorite thing you have ever posted and you definitely need to investigate that shade of purple because it looks pretty super.</p> <p>LOVE the tunic too. Now I can't wait to see what else you got! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63499 Sun, 03 May 2009 22:46:56 +0000 lwc 63499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HOLY MOTO, BATMAN!!!</p> <p>I lurve that jacket...whatta find!</p> <p>I also love your tunic and leggings. Note to self: Find tunic and leggings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63453 Sun, 03 May 2009 16:57:56 +0000 Anonymous 63453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket fits you perfectly. Beautiful, as is the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63452 Sun, 03 May 2009 16:54:22 +0000 tarzy 63452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You look amazing! It's such a fab casual look with the leggings. I think you should do this silhouette more. The moto jacket looks great on you. </p> <p>It's "Tam-tastick!"<br /> (Sorry - unemployed writer here - the brain just keeps spinning!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63450 Sun, 03 May 2009 16:50:52 +0000 greenglove 63450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all that you have on, I always like the way you put things together. The purple is a great color for you. I would love it with something red!!!<br /> You look great and I am happy you are back and posting!<br /> The fit of the jacket looks fine, you probably will not wear it zipped as much as unzipped, such a find!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63447 Sun, 03 May 2009 16:44:13 +0000 Lena 63447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jacket and tunic, Tam! You look terrific in these leggings, too. I'm so glad you found a fabulous leather jacket. </p> <p>I'm chuckling how you chose purple over red because it's been happening to me too. I love red, but I can't resist purple. And I'm a sucker for great lining as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63429 Sun, 03 May 2009 14:25:39 +0000 Dawn 63429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your leather jacket. It's fabulous and really suits you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63428 Sun, 03 May 2009 14:25:29 +0000 shana 63428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, I LOVE the purple moto! It is gorgeous and absolutely on you! I'm serious - I can't think of enough superlatives to describe it. What a fabulous find and great souvenir of your trip. The tunic dress is great too - the ruffles and waist details are a nice touch and ones that I don't see too often on you. You should get yourself some more ruffles! But, I can't get over the jacket....the color is so perfect and so much more interesting than black. Congrats on the fab find (and your persistence in going back three times while you mulled over it!).</p> <p>I'm really lazy when it comes to leather care - I actually just use the leather furniture wipes! Oh, and I also have a bottle of lexol that I've heard is great for leather jackets as well but it is also intended for furniture and not for clothing so I don't have any useful tips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63426 Sun, 03 May 2009 14:22:19 +0000 Angie 63426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER jacket, KILLER tunic, KILLER leggings look and KILLER shoes. I almost fell off my chair. Wonderful to have you back darling! Your style rocks! </p> <p>Suffice to say, KEEEEEP all your goodies. Inge, Eva and Tanya are going to hijack that jacket while you’re asleep, so keep it under lock and key. You look 120% fabulous in that unique Tam way </p> <p>Leather jacket care. Hmmm. I live in rainy Seattle and do not teat my leather jackets with anything. They are fine. They have not stretched nor do they look worn in any way. Good or bad, that’s how it is. I do, on the other hand, treat my shoes. </p> <p>Perhaps if you wear something pretty under the leather jacket with the docs, you’ll pull off the look. The fact that it’s purple and that your docs aren’t black goes a long way. Show us more pretty lady! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-dress-purple-moto#post-63418 Sun, 03 May 2009 13:16:51 +0000 yublocka 63418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Couldn't resist, had to post these piccies before going to bed!! These shots include both the purple leather moto jacket and a plaid tunic dress that I bought in Toronto.</p> <p><a href="http://s622.photobucket.com/albums/tt305/yublocka/leather%20jacket/" rel="nofollow">http://s622.photobucket.com/al.....%20jacket/</a></p> <p>First the dress. It was from some random store that I don't even know the name of. Very cheap (~CA$30), plaid, cotton and lovely colours (purple, black, grey). I was sold on that criteria, but worried about the pencil skirt as that is not a shape I normally wear. However I think the ruffle detail around the neck, empire band and faux-belting helps to draw attention from my (lack of) waist. What do you think? I just love how comfortable it is. I wore it today with leggings and a pair of flats and didn't feel self-conscious at all.</p> <p>Then the jacket. I got it from Darnier, in Eaton Mall in Toronto. Amazing store with a great range of jackets!! The purple colour caught my eye straight away, despite the red jackets further back in the store (amazing I know given my penchant for red!!!) I am still a bit worried it is too long, but the shoulders and sleeves fit great. Given that I will be wearing it to zip around on my Vespa, extra length is only going to mean added warmth, so that won't be all bad!!</p> <p>It is obviously tight when I zip it up, but the sales assistants have assured me it will stretch out a size. The size up felt too big and hung off my shoulders so I hope they are right. I also like the way it kicks out at the bottom when unzipped - kind of makes me look like I actually have a waist!!! The lining really sold me though - a silverly grey herringbone pattern. I am a sucker for beautiful lining!!!</p> <p>So does it pass ylf muster???? I truly hope so, as returning it from Australia is not an option Plus I love it anyway.</p> <p>I do have 2 big questions though. Firstly leather care. The sales assistant said not to treat it with the same leather protector that you use for shoes as that will have too much silicone in it. However the can of spray I have at home for leather and suede protection says it is suitable for garment care. Should I risk it?? Otherwise I have no idea how to protect it. There aren't many (any?) leather stores around here.</p> <p>Second question is regarding pairing this jacket with my new silver doc boots. I don't have dainty feet or a small waist, so I worry that I will look too masculine if I pair them together, even with a dress underneath. I realise I should take a piccie, to fully answer this, but I didn't think of it earlier today. Should I stick to one or the other at a time do you think?</p> <p>All thoughts appreciated!!</p> <p>p.s. sorry for the blurry photos and wet hair!!!! </p>
