Agree the one you chose is terrific, but I also hope you'll wear #3 out of the house sometime. You rock that big scarf and nonchalant semi-tuck, and I love the bright color on you. <br />Jackie, you wear jeans so well, and I think your rear view looks equally fantastic as the front view. Maybe it's just that particular mid-length of jacket that you're not crazy about from the back, more than it is anything to do with pocket placement?? I think I've had the same debate with myself and prefer tops that either show more or less of my backside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwcitron-olive-cognac#post-1426748 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 03:21:03 +0000 Jaime 1426748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your outfit and you do look fab forward and back. Anyone staring at your pocket placement probably shouldn't be! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwcitron-olive-cognac#post-1426737 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 03:06:02 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1426737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Citron is funny. Some of them are excellent for me and some are in between. This one is in between. I'm a summer color person, but I like yellows that soak up excess pink look from the face. This one doesn't soak up as well as others. But I like this sweater -- comfy, warm and non itchy. I have it in grey also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwcitron-olive-cognac#post-1426618 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 22:51:13 +0000 Caro in Oz 1426618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic in these - my fav is #4 too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwcitron-olive-cognac#post-1426532 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 20:50:29 +0000 frannieb 1426532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I think all the outfits looked &nbsp; great. My favorite is the last - grey is a beautiful color on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwcitron-olive-cognac#post-1426511 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 20:34:05 +0000 Helena 1426511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dude, your backside is as pretty as your front side ;)</p> <p>I think you looked great in the citron, but I do think the charcoal look is very "Jackie" based on what I know of your style - I can see why it's a favorite!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwcitron-olive-cognac#post-1426506 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 20:28:48 +0000 jackiec 1426506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*blushing*. Angie, you're a peach. Thank you. Nonetheless I'll continue to be sensitive about those pockets </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwcitron-olive-cognac#post-1426499 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 20:24:01 +0000 Angie 1426499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOOHOOOO. What a&nbsp;FABULOUS bottom.&nbsp;I do understand though Jackie, that you're particular about the pocket placement and how it visually effects the shape of your behind. FWIW, you look GREAT, and thanks for the pic. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwcitron-olive-cognac#post-1426494 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 20:20:11 +0000 jackiec 1426494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie -&nbsp;</b>Posting under duress. I realize it's not&nbsp;<i>that&nbsp;</i>bad. These are the Hudsons that I bought with you at the Rack. Something about the back view always bugs me so I like to have a fluid top sort of half cover it. I really think that Hudson pockets are placed a bit high and wide, for me. My rear view skews rectangular, I think, so I think the Hudsons kind of accentuate that. Make sense? I always love their comfort, however, and the front view. I must 'cause I just bought another pair of grey Hudson skinnies (that I posted about last week or so) - but I make sure to cover my butt in those too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwcitron-olive-cognac#post-1426491 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 20:15:04 +0000 Angie 1426491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I demand to see that riveting rear side in your next WIW.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwcitron-olive-cognac#post-1426488 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 20:10:16 +0000 jackiec 1426488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie -&nbsp;</b>ha! Thanks! Yummy bottom curves - that's a funny one! I usually don't mind my bottom view&nbsp;<i>that&nbsp;</i>much, but something about the pocket placement of Hudson jeans on&nbsp;<i>me&nbsp;</i>always makes me pause...hmm.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Lisa -&nbsp;</b>I've always kept blacks with blacks, so it's nice to try cognac with black, and I'm becoming more and more comfortable, and happy, with the pairing.</p> <p><b>UmmLila -&nbsp;</b>I like your combo! How do you like that JCrew sweater? Oh, now I see that colour is not available. I'm usually pretty good in citron, I just wasn't digging the casual vibe yesterday.</p> <p><b>Suz -&nbsp;</b>LOL!! Good idea, never turn around! Ignorance truly is bliss :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwcitron-olive-cognac#post-1426381 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 17:04:21 +0000 Suz 1426381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said. You look absolutely stunning in the last photo, but you also look incredible in #1 and I cannot believe the rear view was anything but fab. My secret weapon to avoid distress on that score is simply never to look at the rear side. ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwcitron-olive-cognac#post-1426361 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 16:42:20 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1426361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried to wear this combo too. I have citron sweater, cognac belt, light blue jeans, army green anorak, no cognac booties. The citron and the army green did not sit well near my face. I was thinking I might try another go round to include a light blue scarf and blue booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwcitron-olive-cognac#post-1426344 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 16:21:37 +0000 Anonymous 1426344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And you look like a million bucks in the last outfit too. &nbsp;I really like the cognac booties with this dark outfit - it really makes it. &nbsp;I have to remember to do this.</p> <p>Nothing particularly wrong with the other three, other than they are ordinary casual looks. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwcitron-olive-cognac#post-1426340 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 16:15:20 +0000 Angie 1426340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was worth changing 9 times J, because the results are killer, you gorgeous creature. You wear a BIG scarf with the best of them. Your neck was made to, in fact.</p> <p>Honey-pie, I've seen nothing but a riveting rear side in person. Please showcase your yummy bottom curves.&nbsp;</p> <p>#4 is fabulous. Fun layering, and I like the addition of the fine jewellery. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wididntwcitron-olive-cognac#post-1426338 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 16:07:37 +0000 jackiec 1426338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved Angie's ensemble of Citron, Olive, &amp; Cognac and knew I had pieces to make it work yesterday. However, I must have changed 9 times. Here's my outfit lab progression....</p> <p>1)Zara Citron top, Anthro knit olive jacket, Hudson jeans, Clarks cognac booties, Aritzia scarf. I had to tuck the citron top in order for the jacket to look right. Then I absolutely DETESTED my rear view. Off came the jacket.</p> <p>2) Pulled out the citron from the tuck and threw on the olive/green necklace. Wowee does it ever highlight my long face! No go.</p> <p>3) Threw the scarf on top...</p> <p>Ran around getting ready to meet some friends for tea. My hair was driving me crazy, I wasn't "feeling" my outfit, so out came the fast-fallback charcoals for me...</p> <p>4) Only Mine charcoal cashmere over BCBG long sleeved T, Gap super skinny cigarette pants, Clarks cognac booties for an unexpected twist (for me) **another shout-out to Shannon for recommending these :)**. Straightened my hair and finally felt like a million bucks!</p> <p>Maybe I'll give the citron/olive/cognac another go today. It's not that I didn't like it, but for some reason it wasn't the right outfit for my "tea-party" yesterday. Usually I love wearing my citron top :)<br /><div><br /></div> </p>
