I will try it with jeans but as the only jeans I can fit into are 7 years old, I'm not sure how they will look. Once I get the last 5kg off I will be shopping for new jeans - why does the thought fill me with terror. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---jacketcardi#post-941711 Sat, 25 May 2013 22:09:52 +0000 Lyn D. 941711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this Carol, stylish and comfy. is perfect for the cooler weather.<br />Seems to go with most too, and looks good with and without your scarfs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---jacketcardi#post-941520 Sat, 25 May 2013 16:10:50 +0000 Suz 941520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love BJ's new word: jacquard! So clever!&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree with Deborah -- the strong and simple stylings with this are best, and it looks lovely on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---jacketcardi#post-941423 Sat, 25 May 2013 14:21:49 +0000 carolbee 941423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ladies, thank you for your suggestions. &nbsp;I am glad you like it without scarves, I did too but was worried it would look too bare. Hmmm, will have to think about Diane Gs suggestion of a pencil skirt - not sure I've ever worn one! missvee, I like the sound of the striped top, I'm not sure about pattern mixing but that would be fairly subtle. &nbsp;Deborah I don't have any long silver pendants, something else to keep an eye out for as well as a silvery grey scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---jacketcardi#post-941395 Sat, 25 May 2013 13:04:42 +0000 bj1111 941395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fab jacqcardi. Really suited to the coming winter,</p> <p>I lik lantana's suggestion of silvery gray. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---jacketcardi#post-941393 Sat, 25 May 2013 13:01:30 +0000 Lantana 941393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Deborah. In fact, I can see you in her Blonde in Black outfits. While I do prefer the jacket on its own it is winter and you are going to want to wear scarves. How about a silvery grey to complement the grey of the jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---jacketcardi#post-941384 Sat, 25 May 2013 12:40:13 +0000 Deborah 941384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great jacket. I love it with the black and white scarf in #4. The simplicity of #1 is lovely and I would be tempted to add a long silver pendant/necklace. The jacket is subtle yet a bit statementy at the same time so I would keep the stylings simple and minimal. It looks lovely on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---jacketcardi#post-941357 Sat, 25 May 2013 10:37:21 +0000 missvee 941357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely topper! You could also try it over a shirt, or a striped top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---jacketcardi#post-941347 Sat, 25 May 2013 10:13:28 +0000 Caro in Oz 941347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer it without the scarves With them&nbsp;it's reading a little heavy to me (but sometimes that's the photos I know). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---jacketcardi#post-941346 Sat, 25 May 2013 10:11:39 +0000 Anonymous 941346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great and I like the scarves with it. You could also try other colours underneath, maybe white for a contrast too. Also do you have any jeans for the bottom half and what about trying a pencil skirt to the bottom of your knee cap as I think the long length of the knit jacket might look good with the knee length skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib---jacketcardi#post-941340 Sat, 25 May 2013 09:06:29 +0000 carolbee 941340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As mentioned in my other post I went shopping to buy a long cardigan, either black or grey. &nbsp;Instead I bought a black/grey jacquard cardigan, that reads as a jacket for my needs, but very soft and comfy. &nbsp;I can't wear it with my new print tops but goes well with layering ts. &nbsp;Showing it here with various top and scarf combos. &nbsp;I would like to find a grey textured top as well. &nbsp;Both tops and cardi from W Lane.</p> <p>Any other styling suggestions? As usual any comments/feedback would be reatly appreciated. </p>
