Really great look. Unusual colour combo, interesting pattern (in top), stunning jacket and gorgeous jeans.</p> <p>The colours in #1 are so amazing on you that I keep going back to it. Your interesting outfit is a clever repetition of your hair and eye colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---jacket-experiments#post-2080628 Thu, 28 Nov 2019 15:42:38 +0000 Bennett 2080628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it best when you wear a light or bright up near your face, it really is like a spotlight on your hair and your smile!</p> <p>I second (or third, or fourth?) the opinion that those gold pants need to be the star of the outfit, with a fluffy black turtleneck and black footwear they will really stand out!</p> <p>&nbsp;And I sooooo *heart* your pants and boots in the last picture!!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---jacket-experiments#post-2080528 Thu, 28 Nov 2019 02:22:34 +0000 Jaime 2080528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Bijou</b> - I need to take a close up of those jeans. Yes, right out of Star Wars. Or Dune perhaps!<br /><b>Chris987</b> Yes you are right, but they have a golden pattern that you can't really see in the picture. Next time I wear I will take a close up. I agree the colors didn't quite work out.<br /><b>Synne</b> Thank you!<br /><b>Angie</b> Well maybe 5'6" !</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---jacket-experiments#post-2080405 Wed, 27 Nov 2019 15:39:19 +0000 Synne 2080405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in rust and grey snake print!

Could be the photos, the light, or maybe your eyes see colors differently than mine. In any case the outfit looks great, especially all the texture/print. </p> <p>I think the "orange" jacket is fab and perfect with the jeans, but the top seems a little too warm toned...goes with the bag but not so much with the jacket. It's a minor thing..overall the outfit looks great! </p> <p>I agree that the green sweater does need a little something as you suggest. Maybe a top under it that's a bit more visible? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---jacket-experiments#post-2080366 Wed, 27 Nov 2019 12:47:50 +0000 Bijou 2080366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how your hair is growing, it is stunning.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like all of these outfits. #3 and #5 were my favourites - but I do like #1 too, the jeans remind me of what a character out of Star Wars would wear on one of those very dry and sandy planets. I think it is different and fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---jacket-experiments#post-2080294 Wed, 27 Nov 2019 02:17:38 +0000 Jaime 2080294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenn</b> Yes, I am surprised (and delighted) that #3 is the winner here, but if you can't beat them...<br /><b>slim cat</b> Definitely will try the gold jeans with something simple as you suggest, thanks!<br /><b>notsaf</b> This is why I post, thank you!<br /><b>rachylou</b> I *want* to wear more necklaces. Thank you for the push.<br /><b>Jenni NZ</b> Don't apologize - I saw they were too long in the photos, but decided to give them a whirl before I decided to have them hemmed.<br /><b>Kathie</b> - thank you for the excellent suggestions!<br /><b>nemosmom</b> My hair is my calling card.

Could you shorten the golden jeans? I’m seeing the same scrunch that Jenni mentioned. Could you try the top in #1-2 with the jacket in #5? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---jacket-experiments#post-2080048 Tue, 26 Nov 2019 09:32:55 +0000 Jenni NZ 2080048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am exactly with Sal, how funny. I had decided what I thought and then read her comment!<br /> I LOVE 3, and I don’t like 1. I’m not keen on the golden pants, sorry. Too scrunched up? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---jacket-experiments#post-2080046 Tue, 26 Nov 2019 09:25:37 +0000 rachylou 2080046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all (minus the semi-tuck in 1 ). But I *was* wondering about a necklace with the v-necks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---jacket-experiments#post-2080041 Tue, 26 Nov 2019 08:10:30 +0000 notsaf 2080041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another one here who *loves* the crazy matching! Great colors and proportion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---jacket-experiments#post-2080039 Tue, 26 Nov 2019 08:02:00 +0000 slim cat 2080039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun collection. I think that outfit #1-2 is a complicated one: the pieces are "fighting" to be the most interesting in the outfit and haven't come together yet ( I second the idea of a cream top option or black ).<br />I like all outfits: cardigan can be adjusted - it's a pretty green color that looks nice on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---jacket-experiments#post-2080033 Tue, 26 Nov 2019 05:24:37 +0000 Jenn 2080033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, those gold JEANS! They kind of remind me of those living statue street performers and I love it. </p> <p>I also love the oversized orange jacket. The proportions do look “off” to me. I’m seeing what you’re seeing, but I defer to Angie’s judgement. I am always slow to<br /> come around to new proportions and silhouettes. Maybe living in a larger city will train my eye better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---jacket-experiments#post-2080029 Tue, 26 Nov 2019 04:17:38 +0000 Jaime 2080029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! I am so glad I posted - I would not have guessed that #3 would be a favorite!<br /><b>Taylor</b> - Nothing is better or boostier than hair compliments from you - thank you!<br /><b>Sal</b> - Excited that you like #3. Outfit #1 needs to go back to the shop for an overhaul.<br />Thank you <b>Roxanna</b>! Will rethink how to wear the golden jeans and agree about the cardigan. Those bootcuts - an old pair I thrifted last spring - have turned out to be one of my better finds!<br /><b>Joy</b> - Thank you from me and my hair!<br /><b>kellygirl</b> - The funny thing is the rust jacket is vintage Israeli from a long time ago and the bootcuts are also from the last go round of bootcuts whenever that was. Thrifting the trends!<br /><b>Angie</b> - What goes around comes around with jackets and colors apparently! Thank you so much. I will wear those jeans again today in your honor .</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---jacket-experiments#post-2080021 Tue, 26 Nov 2019 03:51:55 +0000 kellygirl 2080021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I love your jacket collection. The oversized rust jacket with the bootcuts looks so hip as does the black jacket with the cropped pants and tall booties. You look fab and playful in everything though!

Agree that the cardigan might work better unbuttoned and scrunched? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---jacket-experiments#post-2079992 Tue, 26 Nov 2019 02:39:51 +0000 Sal 2079992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At a glance</p> <ul> <li>I love 3 - you say the top feels too short (it does not look it).&nbsp; Great jacket on you.&nbsp;</li> <li>I like 4 too but agree maybe bulkier or lighter shoes, but actually I still really like it as is!</li> <li>5 is great - love it!!&nbsp; N</li> </ul> <br />1-2 is the one I am not sure about.&nbsp; I feel like the jacket and jeans are close but not close enough nor different enough.&nbsp; Or maybe with another tonal piece it might all come together rather than the blue, even a cream top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---jacket-experiments#post-2079988 Tue, 26 Nov 2019 02:16:59 +0000 taylor 2079988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That HAIR...that Fabulous HAIR!<br />Love &nbsp;your &nbsp;jacket looks Shevia ...soooo much !<br />That hair tho....❤️ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---jacket-experiments#post-2079986 Tue, 26 Nov 2019 02:11:08 +0000 Jaime 2079986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well the weather has gotten a little bit cooler and I have started playing with my jackets. I won't say these are outfit fails (but feel free to say so in the comments!), but none of them look quite right and I will tweak them all next time out.&nbsp;<br />#1 I realized I could make a match between this vintage jacket and these vintage jeans as they both are somewhat golden. So of course I mixed in blue . Anyway, the attempted tuck is miserable, but in my defense I looked more like blurry #2 while out and about.<br />#2 Onwards with crazy matching, in the darker light in my room this oversized vintage jacket worked with this tee. But it is too short for the mid-rise jeans and probably not the right color at all.<br />#3 I liked the snake print blouse under the green cardigan, but it needs scrunching and may be over buttoned. Also bulkier shoes?<br />#4 This vintage jacket is my favorite new (to me) thing (everything else above has been in my closet year/s), but it is hard to photograph.&nbsp;</p> <p>Looking for suggestions and thoughts about what works and what doesn't or anything else you care to say. Thanks for looking! </p>
