It would also look great over a black sweater dress. Or with black pants as well as the same black turtleneck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591707 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 16:19:34 +0000 Mellllls 1591707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this looksgreat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591705 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 16:12:59 +0000 MsMary 1591705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh! You look so fab I am having palpitations!! The jacket looks amazing as styled, and you could definitely do all kinds of different bottoms to mix things up. And maybe try an ivory or orange turtleneck, just for fun?</p> <p>Edited to add I could really see it over a column of ivory! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591703 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 16:05:36 +0000 Laurie 1591703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have posted so many amazing looks the past week, I have been almost paralyzed to comment! &nbsp;I love the pink and blue poncho from your MIL - really beautiful and such a great look for both ranch and city. &nbsp; This jacket is so you - unusual, gorgeous, eye-catching. &nbsp; This is one perfect outfit....</p> <p>Those boots are starting to whisper my name, darn it.</p> <p>I am only getting about 1 ride a week in - the temps have certainly been mild enough, but the days are so short. Too cold in the morning, and dark by 5:45. &nbsp;Sigh. &nbsp; &nbsp;No running and unfortunately no walking - I just saw my orthopedic surgeon this morning to discuss the OTHER hip. &nbsp; Going to try cortisone, but I might be looking at having a matching scar soon. &nbsp;I feel so bad for my kids - my husband also has terrible arthritis, so our genetic contribution in this regard is unfortunate! &nbsp; &nbsp;Bike is still my best option, so I'm considering finding good spin classes for the winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591344 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 17:01:10 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1591344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE this jacket! I agree with the others who say that it's so very ok to wear an item the same way all the time.&nbsp; I love mixing my wardrobe in all kinds of ways, but there are pieces that I wear only one way because it looks great and why mess with perfection?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591303 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 14:30:17 +0000 approprio 1591303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous jacket! My take on trophy jackets (and I have a few ) is to vary the silhouette. This one looks like it could work with wide tailored pants or layered over a tunic with leggings and boots. It might not come out to play every day, but when it does, you'll always feel brilliant.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591297 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 14:01:21 +0000 Nebraskim 1591297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you style this. It is interesting enough on its own to carry the load of the entire look without a lot of support. Wearing it against the neutral black allows this to take center stage. I think trying to style it differently might veer it into the "trying too hard" range and right now, it looks effortless and chic.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591294 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 13:35:52 +0000 Janet 1591294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, it was from Nordstrom 2-3 years ago. I think I actually saw one in a Rack at some point later on. The brand is Parker. I poked around online to see if I could find a link to it anywhere but no luck so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591225 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 07:16:09 +0000 Marley 1591225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE this jacket!!!!!! &nbsp;WhatisitWheredidyougetit????<br />You look fantastic in this outfit Janet!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591192 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 04:30:46 +0000 anne 1591192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo what everyone is saying - it's great.

Fabulous item.

My zipper is sliding down too, just on the right bootie. I never thought to have their cobbler work on it, but I will do that. Thank you! </p> <p>Wow, thanks, all, for the lovely compliments. I felt guilty that this jacket does not get a ton of wear, and I realized that is better wear it now while the weather is perfect for this kind of outfit without a heavy coat. Glad you all like the styling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591073 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 00:34:04 +0000 K. Period. 1591073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! And it loves you--you look fantastic in it. Very wise to just love it as a limited piece. I've owned a few like that and I drive myself bonkers trying to figure out alternate styling. If I just accepted them as they were, I'd have so much more peace and so much more enjoyment out of them. &nbsp;From now on, I'm just going to take a deep breath and say "be like Janet!" </p> <p>And I adore the booties--I have them too. &nbsp;Mine had to go back a few weeks ago for a repair. &nbsp;The zipper was sliding down on its own. Nordstrom had their cobbler tighten it up, though, and it worked brilliantly. &nbsp;Thank goodness, because I think that heel is a thing of beauty. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591067 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 00:24:07 +0000 Suz 1591067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!! I am with Angie. Don't fret a bit, just love it and wear it like this!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591066 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 00:21:17 +0000 Jenn 1591066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket is so interesting on its own, it doesn't need much of a support act besides the neutral canvas you've layered it over. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591065 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 00:18:58 +0000 Brooklyn 1591065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the way the black top picks up the black in the jacket. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591055 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 00:01:51 +0000 Sal 1591055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What everyone else has said!!<br />I think it looks brilliant as is. I can imagine a range of jeans with it - bootleg, flares, coated black etc...and maybe other black tops but I see no reason to mess with a great look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591045 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 22:56:15 +0000 retailgirl 1591045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they way you have it styled is perfect. Let the jacket be the star of your outfit. Not every item in your closet needs to go with many other things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591041 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 22:46:13 +0000 unfrumped 1591041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great jacket and I agree, best done simply. Also agree that other flipped black/navy items would work because it's about the same thing, but only if you&nbsp; have the items---wouldn't fret to add anything.<br />And, inspired you are to wear the new boots with the echo of orange. Isn't it great how some little twist like that, instead of being limiting, actually opens up new fun combo's? Also the silver metals on the bag tie in with the jacket, so really you've got quite a lot of interest going on, just polished and simple. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591038 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 22:27:17 +0000 Angie 1591038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer to the Power of Killer. One of your best this year. <b>WOW.</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>You are wise NOT to fret about styling this jacket in more ways, Janet. Just wear it this way because it couldn't be more stunning. The new boots are heavenly with it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591036 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 22:01:32 +0000 DonnaF 1591036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jacket!&nbsp; Would you consider flipping the colors by pairing a navy top with black jeans/pants?&nbsp; How about off-white/light pants/bottoms? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591027 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 21:15:26 +0000 AviaMariah 1591027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you're wearing it and that's how I'd wear it. &nbsp;The new boots are perfect with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---hard-to-style-jacket-and-low-color-mixing-affinity#post-1591023 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 20:19:32 +0000 Janet 1591023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this jacket 2 or 3 years ago and really like it, but it is a) not the most comfortable thing ever, and b) hard to style. It also contains orange, a color I love but find difficult to wear. To my eye, it really looks best on me over a black turtleneck and that's about it. But most of my wardrobe is much more versatile, so I don't fret the occasional hard-to-style piece if it's already in my closet. (I have, however, changed my shopping tactics to be more practical since then). </p> <p>I've seen this jacket styled with outfits that contain more color, but for me, the bold pattern calls for really simple supporting acts: Paige skinnies, black turtleneck from Lord &amp; Taylor, and black Calvin Klein bag. I like the play of the colored heel on the new Topshop booties with this. </p> <p>Feedback welcome! </p>
