First of all - you have a terrific jacket there. It is basic, which is a splendid thing in my book, because it is pretty timeless. The fit is perfect, as already stated by the boss:) I really love how you've styled it already, particularly in #2, (also stated many times already, but a good thing...). </p> <p>You've seen my thread with denim and dresses/skirts, and I guess it is a bit different to wear denim jackets like that than paired with jeans. To me, a pair of tight jeans would be problematic to wear with a fitted, cropped denim jacket, too, since I would feel too body conscious and my pear tendencies would be enhanced. I suggest working with the silhouette, no matter if you wear pants or skirts. A roomier fit at the bottom plays very well against the smoother fit on top. Do you have any baggy boyfriend jeans or tapered pants? I also suggest trying to wear the same color under the jacket as in your pants (unless they are denim, of course). Try the turtleneck or another fitted top in matching color, that gorgeous belt, wider pants, and I think you'll find that your shape is enhanced in a very good way! You DO have a very nice one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures/page/2#post-850632 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 06:54:42 +0000 Katiepea 850632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First up, I really like this jacket!</p> <p>I have a denim jacket almost exactly the same as this and really love pairing it either with dresses or skirts. </p> <p>My personal favourite look is when I pair it with a shift type dress in a block colour - it creates a lovely uninterrupted vertical line and the jacket gives extra shape. My second favourite is to wear it with an a type line skirt with a nipped in waist as a retro 1950's type look.</p> <p>Maybe one of these ideas may be of interest to you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures/page/2#post-850630 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 06:54:04 +0000 Katiepea 850630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First up, I really like this jacket!</p> <p>I have a denim jacket almost exactly the same as this and really love pairing it either with dresses or skirts. </p> <p>My personal favourite look is when I pair it with a shift type dress in a block colour - it creates a lovely uninterrupted vertical line and the jacket gives extra shape.

Can I ask you, do you love denim jackets? I have one that I bought after seeing how cool you all look wearing yours only to find that while it may have looked good, I don't really like them for me! I feel constricted and just don't feel like me so given this looks great I'm wondering if its something else that is bothering you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures/page/2#post-850542 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 03:34:47 +0000 Jjsloane 850542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off it doesn't look bad, however I think it hits right at the waist of these jeans and is such a similar wash that it makes it a bit denim tuxedo which I've always been told is wrong so it never looks good to my eye. I like the jacket on it's own merit, but with non denim items like a dress or with the longer top untucked (like 3) and non denim bottoms. Maybe we have the same poison eye for the like denim with like denim? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures/page/2#post-850541 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 03:32:44 +0000 Anonymous 850541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see no problem with the denim jacket. All of these stylings are great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures/page/2#post-850510 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 02:31:04 +0000 carolbee 850510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also think you look great in this jacket. Together with Ingunns post I will be seriously considering getting a denim jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-850252 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 21:00:02 +0000 Ajoanna 850252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jacket looks great on you, Sarah! :)<br /> I would love to see it with different bottoms too. Maybe just seeing it with a different colored pant or a skirt could change your opinion? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-850212 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 19:40:54 +0000 Anonymous 850212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fit on you and think you should keep trying this jacket with other things until you find a combo that you feel good in. I don't like the denim-on-denim. At least with denims so similarly colored. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-850144 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 18:40:07 +0000 jlyns 850144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too think these all look great, and concur on the consensus around #2! </p> <p>When I look at the three photos, I see subtle differences in how the collar is arranged and the sleeves are scrunched. To me, these little details make a big difference in how I feel about how I look. I know Angie loves the popped collar, but do you? Do you like the sleeve scrunched or carefully rolled or pushed up and flared out? </p> <p>The jacket--and you in the jacket--are great! Maybe a little tweaking of the details might make you love it as much as we all do? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-850142 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 18:39:14 +0000 harmonica 850142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>these are really great casual outfits and I can't see anything wrong with the jacket (though I'm not an expert!) </p> <p>I like that you made Stubborn and Bossy Angie come out, though *giggle* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-850131 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 18:33:18 +0000 Janet 850131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see nothing wrong! I think you look terrific in #2 especially! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-850119 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 18:29:31 +0000 jayne 850119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved both 1 &amp; 2! it was 3 when you tried to create length that I didn't feel for. THe belt gives an interest point and defines your waist. I feel you lose that in 3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-849955 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 17:02:46 +0000 rachylou 849955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like denim on denim, and I don't like denim. I think the jacket looks spot on in #1. I find it a *boyish* jacket and that outfit is tomboy. You look great in the other pics too, but I do find the jacket to be boy over what is otherwise girl. If that makes any sense. Maybe that is the source of the discordance for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-849934 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:38:10 +0000 Angie 849934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to take that as a compliment, Sarah :)</p> <p>You can always count on me to scare away those sodding demons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-849929 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:35:06 +0000 Thistle 849929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in this denim jacket. It fits you perfectl and is styled beautifully. I especially like #1.</p> <p>Perhaps you are looking for a dressier look? For chic casual, you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-849924 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:31:17 +0000 Suz 849924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, I think I get what you are feeling. I've been feeling something similar about my denim jackets lately. Maybe I'm just not in love with them for the time being, period! It does have to do with the overall rectangular thing, though. I find I feel better in them with dresses/ skirts, and like them best of all when the skirt has a bit of a flare to it. Weird. Well, truth be told, what that means is that I haven't been wearing them all winter. </p> <p>As a matter of fact, I think you look great here, especially in #2, where you get a column of colour going and that fab belt to punch it all up. Denim blue suits you beautifully.</p> <p>Also...cough. Posting twice does NOT make you a hog. We miss you! Post away! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-849915 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:19:45 +0000 unfrumped 849915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jacket fit is quite good, too, and should be very useful and fun. Why don't you play with how you roll or turn back the sleeves at different places on the arm, different scrunches, depending on your tops? Sometimes that way I find a bit different look here or there with the proportions of an outfit that just strikes me better . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-849913 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:14:39 +0000 Isis 849913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like denim on denim and I love these! I especially like #2---I think because of the tall boots and because I love the way you've popped the collar.....These all look effortlessly stylish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-849909 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:10:07 +0000 Tanya 849909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, i quite like all of these outfits, I do not see any problems at all. And I love that leopard belt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-849903 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:05:39 +0000 sarah 849903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yeah, don't you worry, I'm quite familiar with Big Stubborn Angie, so I am adequately warned.

You look AMAZING in this denim jacket. It fits perfectly and works with your KILLER casual style.</p> <p>I feel the need to be Big Bossy Angie here in order to get those weird body image ideas out of your head!</p> <p>I can also be Big Stubborn Angie, so you have been warned.</p> <p> xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-849883 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:57:05 +0000 Jules 849883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I have to admit, I don't love denim on denim and that was what struck me about these outfits. I prefer a denim jacket over softer fabric, maybe something more feminine. So #2 is my favourite (less denim showing because of the boots) and for #3, I think this would look great with a skinny pant and flats or wedges. Actually I quite like #2 so I think it's the combo of similar wash denim on denim, casual straight leg jeans and sneakers (even though they are fab sneakers!) that I don't like. I say this not to be critical (Angie has spoken after all!) but perhaps to help pinpoint what YOU don't like about it.</p> <p>Oops sorry cross-posted with you... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-849880 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:55:04 +0000 sarah 849880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>textstyle - I can certainly relate to the "own weird body image thing"...You've probably hit the nail on the head. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-849875 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:53:31 +0000 texstyle 849875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These actually look like they are styled great and I find them very attractive on you. But I can relate to your feeling as I've been having a hard time with denim jackets too. I just can't get past the denim on denim thing for myself, and I rarely find myself wearing pants other than jeans. But it's not just that - for some reason it makes me feel bulkier/boxier than my other jackets. And mine are pretty fitted denim. I think if I could get myself to wear dresses/skirts I'd wear the denim jackets more. And I have no less than 3 of them. It may just be my own weird body image thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-849873 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:52:26 +0000 sarah 849873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>or at least the shape of the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-849871 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:51:51 +0000 sarah 849871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love denim on denim - it's the SHAPE of the outfit that's not working for me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-wrong-with-these-pictures#post-849867 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:49:25 +0000 Angie 849867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe you don't like denim on denim. </p>
