I have loosened up a touch since having a baby and joining YLF </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---pre-ylf-fab-or-flop#post-861056 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 23:46:53 +0000 rae 861056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the ladies have you sorted out already - just chiming in to say I do like all the pieces quite a bit. Together it seems more conservative than the impression I have of you with the dresses and other jackets you've gotten. But I think everything will mix n' match well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---pre-ylf-fab-or-flop#post-860946 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 22:27:43 +0000 Caro in Oz 860946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't read the other replies so sorry for any repeats. I like the jacket - but would like to see if with different pants or jeans. I'm not loving the colour of the knit with this jacket - maybe a white shirt or something more lively? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---pre-ylf-fab-or-flop#post-860660 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 18:54:19 +0000 rachylou 860660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this outfit, including the butterscotch turtleneck. I think every piece is completely mix-and-match versatile. You could do a white skirt even! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---pre-ylf-fab-or-flop#post-860554 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 17:34:12 +0000 suzyq 860554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A button down would be a pretty easy fix for a seamstress to work her magic on. I'm not talented but even I can manage it. Might be worth looking in to as it would open up lots more options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---pre-ylf-fab-or-flop#post-860505 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 17:04:28 +0000 pil 860505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>and your leopard shoes..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---pre-ylf-fab-or-flop#post-860443 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 16:02:55 +0000 Thistle 860443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to wear with a crisp white button down . . . but I have yet to find a button down, ANY button down, that fits. If it fits over the girls, it hangs like a tent over my waist. If it fits over my waist, it pulls over the girls.</p> <p>The jacket is twead but mixed with deep pinks, mauves and a hint of burgundy.</p> <p>I will see what else I can find to go underneath, but it really reinforces my need for a white button down! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---pre-ylf-fab-or-flop#post-860406 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:42:44 +0000 Anonymous 860406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your jacket color reminded me of Angie's mid-toned colors blog post today. I like it as is, but you might do something under the jacket in another midtone...like blue or blush. A blue denim shirt is another idea.<br /> If it works with you style, you might wear a brooch on the lapel instead of wearing a necklace. For spring, a flower pin could be fun.<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2009/04/09/spring-update-2009-a-floral-pin/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2009/04/.....loral-pin/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---pre-ylf-fab-or-flop#post-860396 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:39:24 +0000 Adelfa 860396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jacket a lot and think it's a definite Wear. I like how the lapels lie, how it nips in at the waist, and how the bottom edges are diagonal. I like the tweediness. You look good in it. Silly me, I only comment on the jacket while the fabbers are racing away with great outfit suggestions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---pre-ylf-fab-or-flop#post-860357 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:01:43 +0000 Anonymous 860357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with IK in her suggestions. Add a white button down and put the collar over the jacket. That's why I do, I have very fuzzy skin.</p> <p>You just need a different top.</p> <p>Those leo booties wold have looked great with this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---pre-ylf-fab-or-flop#post-860352 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:58:01 +0000 ironkurtin 860352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a perfectly fine work outfit. Accessories will make it pop more. However, I think you need a brighter turtleneck under, something that picks up on the pinks or rusts in the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---pre-ylf-fab-or-flop#post-860308 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:06:04 +0000 modgrl 860308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I'm not crazy about it all together. It definitely lacks the pizzazz of you in cute dresses.</p> <p>I would probably pop on a scarf to brighten it up a bit. Also lipstick. The colors are all so deeply saturated that you could use a little more color in your face. Pinch your cheeks on the way out the door </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---pre-ylf-fab-or-flop#post-860302 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:02:13 +0000 Glory 860302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shape and colour of the jacket for you. Like the others there might be some options for the tan turtle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---pre-ylf-fab-or-flop#post-860287 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:41:43 +0000 Janet 860287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also thinking grey trousers might be a nice alternative with this jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---pre-ylf-fab-or-flop#post-860280 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:38:30 +0000 Jjsloane 860280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Janet said - I like the jacket but want another color for the turtleneck. White? Do you do button downs? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---pre-ylf-fab-or-flop#post-860279 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:37:23 +0000 jayne 860279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>do what Janet said!</p> <p>and maybe not black slacks, something that 'goes' but doesn't have to match </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---pre-ylf-fab-or-flop#post-860271 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:32:59 +0000 pil 860271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is nice and the turtleneck makes tons of sense this time of year. Is the jacket more of a rust than red? I wonder if it would work with your red AT skirt - if you kept that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---pre-ylf-fab-or-flop#post-860264 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:28:12 +0000 Janet 860264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It fits you well, and I think the jacket and pants look great! I am not as crazy about the turtleneck, but I'm not a big beige/tan fan. I would love to see this with a white collared shirt, open at the neck, and with the jacket open. Perhaps a scarf or statement necklace? Or a silk(y) button-front shirt with a collar in a nice geometric or abstract floral print under the jacket, for a little more visual interest.</p> <p>Do the pants have belt loops? With the jacket unbuttoned, a nice simple belt will be another touch to elevate the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---pre-ylf-fab-or-flop#post-860257 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:21:42 +0000 Thistle 860257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, before YLF and before I was pergnant with DD, this was a favorite outfit. I found it in a cataloge, and literally click "buy look" to get everything. So, not terribly original.</p> <p>In my post-YLF life, I am not so sure about its fab factor. It is warm, and the jacket has texture to it. My skin hates the texture, so it requires the tutrleneck so the jacket doesn't actually touch me. With abouther 3-6 inches of snow on the way, I thought I would give its warmth a try.</p> <p>Good as is, or would you make changes? what changes would those be? </p>
