I have had orange clothing intermittently for at least a decade I think and enjoyed the brightness of it. Today might be the day I get to return the larger size: in-store probably as not too far away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-size-down-arrived#post-2244253 Fri, 17 Dec 2021 19:31:57 +0000 Helena 2244253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know you've chosen already (and I would have voted smaller too ftr) so just chiming in to say again how lovely I find this colour on you jenni! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-size-down-arrived#post-2244208 Fri, 17 Dec 2021 17:23:09 +0000 Anonymous 2244208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smaller! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-size-down-arrived#post-2244165 Fri, 17 Dec 2021 14:26:38 +0000 Anonymous 2244165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeans do stretch out with wear. &nbsp;Another vote for the smaller size. &nbsp;Love the orange on you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-size-down-arrived#post-2243800 Wed, 15 Dec 2021 20:53:34 +0000 Style Fan 2243800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for the smaller size.&nbsp; You look amazing in orange—my favourite colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-size-down-arrived#post-2243777 Wed, 15 Dec 2021 18:21:20 +0000 Jenni NZ 2243777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone. I will keep the smaller size. J’Aileen it shows the line of my bra and the dome/belt loops of the jeans in the smaller size a bit more, sort of not comfortably loose like the larger size.<br /> But I probably will tuck the top at least initially and then will consider Irina’s idea as well, of getting it shortened a bit- I would pin at different lengths at home first.<br /> Thank you all for your input! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-size-down-arrived#post-2243764 Wed, 15 Dec 2021 16:35:04 +0000 Suz 2243764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote smaller size, too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-size-down-arrived#post-2243763 Wed, 15 Dec 2021 16:27:17 +0000 cat2 2243763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smaller size, and I second RC’s vote for tucking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-size-down-arrived#post-2243757 Wed, 15 Dec 2021 15:43:22 +0000 Angie 2243757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Much prefer the smaller size!

I agree that it could be hemmed or tucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-size-down-arrived#post-2243737 Wed, 15 Dec 2021 13:48:48 +0000 Irina 2243737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smaller size fits better, I agree. But I still think it should be cut shorter if you are planning to wear it untucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-size-down-arrived#post-2243719 Wed, 15 Dec 2021 12:29:22 +0000 lyn67 2243719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smaller is plenty good!

The length is a bit too long to my eye ( maybe a bit of shortening? or not...). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-size-down-arrived#post-2243676 Wed, 15 Dec 2021 03:37:31 +0000 rachylou 2243676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The smaller (!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-size-down-arrived#post-2243674 Wed, 15 Dec 2021 03:33:11 +0000 Jenni NZ 2243674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Carla. I have been wearing the bigger size since about 2010 so it is quite a while I thought I was that size, but I also feel more comfortable in something that doesn’t feel tight, you know? Probably Angie’s “fluid fit” I think she calls it. I have had to buy some new shorts one size smaller as the ones from a year ago are loose around the middle. The shorts are not exactly the same style as sadly last summer’s ones have sold out, but they are similar so I am happy. The weight has stabilised for 3 months now, I am not still losing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-size-down-arrived#post-2243673 Wed, 15 Dec 2021 03:25:51 +0000 Carla 2243673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>100% vote smaller. &nbsp;Fits your shoulders very well, and looks the same untucked as the larger size. &nbsp;FWIW, I think you can absolutely wear it tucked (as you demonstrated in your earlier thread.)</p> <p>It can be very hard to know when to consider yourself at a different size than you may have been for a long period of time. &nbsp;It’s especially tricky when the size change is gradual. &nbsp;After 25 years at one weight/size range, I experienced a shift in habits and lifestyle, and ended up loosing 15lbs (and 2 sizes) in 5 years. &nbsp;The first year I thought it was an anomaly, and continued to buy clothes that were too big. &nbsp;When I posted, Angie (and others) suggested that I size down, but it took me a long time to&nbsp;<i>really&nbsp;</i>see it, and even now, I sometimes catch myself gravitating towards what is now oversized (though I do it less!)</p> <p>Maybe go through you closet and check out some of the clothes you haven’t worn in a while that might have been a little snug in the past? &nbsp;It might reinforce that you really should be looking at embracing a new (smaller) size! &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-size-down-arrived#post-2243672 Wed, 15 Dec 2021 03:18:15 +0000 CarolS 2243672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the smaller size looks like a better fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-size-down-arrived#post-2243671 Wed, 15 Dec 2021 03:17:24 +0000 Janet 2243671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the smaller size works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-size-size-down-arrived#post-2243666 Wed, 15 Dec 2021 03:05:07 +0000 Aquamarine 2243666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the smaller size.

This is each size untucked to see length, with and without my jacket. Husband thinks bigger size may be slightly too big but smaller size may be slightly too small and “It’s beyond my pay grade, let the forum advise!”<br /> Pics 1/2 smaller size euro 40<br /> Pics 3/4 bigger size euro 42.<br /> Sorry that I didn’t realise until afterwards that I am different distances from the mirror. </p>
