I think that would have made the outfit a little sleeker. The brown belt cuts you in half and seems to draw attention to any fit issues with the jacket. </p> <p>Your hair is so pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---119-to-a-wine-party#post-1080552 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 17:05:15 +0000 karymk 1080552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket and jeans look great to me. &nbsp;I don't think you need the necklace tho because it competes with the buttons/snaps on your jacket. &nbsp;Pop a more colorful blouse under the jacket and I think you have yourself a cool outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---119-to-a-wine-party#post-1080532 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 16:03:18 +0000 peacechick 1080532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think there's anything wrong with all of these pieces individually but maybe the jacket and the top don't go so well together? I think the jacket would look good with a striped t-shirt and or a dress. But this is just my opinion. I hope Angie will chime in </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---119-to-a-wine-party#post-1080444 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 12:43:14 +0000 Emily 1080444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jeanie! &nbsp;I hope you had a good time at the party. &nbsp;I think the casual jeans, cognac belt and sleek black topper look great! &nbsp;</p> <p>I like the jacket - it looks like a nice fit and it skims your shape in a good way -&nbsp; no clasp required. &nbsp;Do you usually wear silhouettes that are quite fitted at the waist? &nbsp;The shoulder line is strong, but it looks good from here. &nbsp;Does it feel snug across the shoulders? &nbsp;I think it would look fab with a longer top and skinnies, and would lend a bit of shape to pieces with a waist-surrendering fit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Yeah, the tee is a bit snug. &nbsp;But also,&nbsp;It took me a third look at your picture to see that the jacket sleeves are 3/4 length and ruched with the long sleeved tee sleeves showing underneath. &nbsp;I like the idea of layering the sleeves, but I'm not sure it works with the ruching on the jacket. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---119-to-a-wine-party#post-1080420 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 08:37:40 +0000 minimalist 1080420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off, party sounds like it was fun!</p> <p>For my own hips, I'm not a big fan of whiskering or whatever the horizontal lines are called; they make me feel lumpy. But I guess you meant you were feeling boxy/lumpy around the middle? I don't see any quick fixes for the jacket; a long scarf in the same color and compatible fabric would be my solution, worn underneath the jacket with both ends hanging free. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---119-to-a-wine-party#post-1080419 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 08:17:34 +0000 Jeanie 1080419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where to begin? &nbsp;I wore this to a casual wine party in a very hippy town.</p> <p>I thought I got it right but I'm&nbsp;looking lumpy.&nbsp; I bought these new American Eagle jeans a few weeks back and was so thrilled that jeans could be comfy, I tore the tags off right away. &nbsp;The jacket is from Macys and have wore it before but I am not sure now about the shoulder pads and it doesn't button so it is looking a bit boxy. &nbsp;Maybe I can put a clasp in the middle? &nbsp;The shirt is just looking small. &nbsp;I guess I am up a few pounds.&nbsp;I did pull the shirt sleeves up into the shorter jacket sleeves later.&nbsp;<br />I am really trying to get it right, &nbsp;getting frustrated....</p> <p>Any thoughts on how to save the jacket? or how to reconfigure this outfit? </p>
