But only if you promise not to wear it with more black </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-jacket-heist#post-796421 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 22:25:40 +0000 Deborah 796421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! They are hanging in the wardrobe with the tags still on so I might remove them today;). The grey was the one I was a little uncertain of, but I'm very happy with how the color looks and I'm looking forward to wearing it:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-jacket-heist#post-795961 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 14:31:05 +0000 Suz 795961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all terrific, Deborah! I think you will wear these ones even more (if possible) than their predecessors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-jacket-heist#post-795944 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 14:11:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 795944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job Deborah! I totally agree that footwear and jackets can completely transform an outfit. I think these are fabulous additions to your wardrobe and good for you on the in-out math. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-jacket-heist#post-795943 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 14:11:03 +0000 Amy 795943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm taking notes on how to add edge to modern classic outfits. I think you're right!</p> <p>All 3 are very nice. I'm sure you'll get a lot of wear out of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-jacket-heist#post-795939 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 14:02:43 +0000 lyn67 795939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, what a great math here! 3in/4 out!!!! (I'm not that good at that kind of math unfortunately-I tend to keep my blazers, forever(if not worn out or extra dated).<br /> Love all your new purchases! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-jacket-heist#post-795930 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 13:44:39 +0000 Deborah 795930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Darn! bj, I was hoping you wouldn't notice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-jacket-heist#post-795919 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 13:13:16 +0000 bj1111 795919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love all three...please return to my closet asap and i will not call the police. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-jacket-heist#post-795911 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 13:01:43 +0000 sarah 795911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jackets, Deborah. I love you in that blue-grey color and the flowy vibe suits your style so well. Knowing you, the black jackets will get a workout, too ; ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-jacket-heist#post-795902 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:48:18 +0000 Deborah 795902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, Woops, corrected the numbering:). #4 and #5 are the same jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-jacket-heist#post-795899 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:45:47 +0000 Deborah 795899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks kk, I must admit the to black jacket #3 looks a lot better IRL than in the photo:)</p> <p>Tracey I have a faux leather jacket, not moto style though. I often wear it instead of a suit jacket to work and I think it does up the ante of a work outfit:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-jacket-heist#post-795898 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:45:20 +0000 Jaime 795898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah I think the unstructured jacket looks great in both colors, and I like the looks of #5, but I am confused by #4 - which jacket is that? And I also agree that shoes and jackets are great ways to add edge. Although you say you did not style the jackets, I really like the grey jacket with the slouchy black pants, which are terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-jacket-heist#post-795897 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:33:48 +0000 TraceyLiz65 795897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are right that shoes and jacket can give you that edge. Ever considered adding a leather(or faux) moto jacket for even more edge? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-jacket-heist#post-795866 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 11:43:19 +0000 kkards 795866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like the grey a lot, it gives a structured yet casual vibe. for some reason, i'm don't like it as much in the black. not sure why. i do like number 5, it looks like it would work with almost anything, and could be dress up or down </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-jacket-heist#post-795829 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 09:29:31 +0000 Deborah 795829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HI Ladies,</p> <p>I have been on a bit of a jacket fest lately, but I tend to do this. My last obsession was silky blouses.</p> <p>I understand that my style is probably predominantly ‘modern classic’ but my goal would be to achieve “ Modern Classic with Edge”. I have developed the belief that two ways to edge up an outfit is to add fashion forward footwear, and the other is to add the unexpected in a jacket. Feel free to correct me, but in my case at least I think this works, keeping in mind that my definition of ‘edge’ is the pairing of unexpected items to create interest and less conventional combinations.</p> <p>So this was my thinking when I purchased these jackets. </p> <p>#1 &amp; #2 Steel Grey Unstructured Jacket </p> <p>This has zippers at the front pockets and also on the cuffs. Grey doesn’t always work on me but I think (hope) this does, It seems to be a good tone for me? This addition is an attempt to move away from so much black and add something (slightly) different to my closet.</p> <p>#3 Black Unstructured Jacket (Needs a steam)</p> <p>This is the same as the grey. This will replace my cotton, unlined, unstructured waterfall jacket that you have seen quite a lot of. It is only 2 years old but I have worn it to death and it is no longer looking as fresh. It will also replace an older structured summer blazer.</p> <p>#4 &amp; #5 Collarless, Structured Asymtrical Blazer in Black</p> <p>This will replace two outgoing jackets. A cropped velvet jacket and a slightly dated tailored blazer. I like the fact that this is cropped, but longer at the front than the back. It is still structured and tailored and will be ideal for work but I feel it has more interest than a traditional blazer.</p> <p>So, three in and four out!!</p> <p>These photos are not styled. I have just attempted to create a suitable canvas on which you can see the definition of the jackets, particularly as black is so hard to photograph.</p> <p>I would really appreciate your thoughts. I am planning on keeping all three unless you really think otherwise.</p> <p>Thank you so much for looking.</p> <p>xxx Deborah </p>
