I think the issue with the jacket is that it is too boxy. &nbsp;Your other jackets have a nipped waist and this one does not. I say donate and try to fine one in this color with a fit you like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1022832 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 15:59:58 +0000 Vickie KY 1022832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the colors. When I am not sure about something I give myself a certain length of time to either make it work or it's gone.&nbsp; Maybe the jacket would be better with a darker bottom?<br />Vickie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1022638 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 12:39:38 +0000 Thistle 1022638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will for use try the jacket with a dress next week. Thanks for the input. Maybe this is what is meant by a different length for pants versus skirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1022465 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 03:10:01 +0000 Beth Ann 1022465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous colors and I love the shoes, too!&nbsp; </p> <p>I'd love to see the jacket with a dress!&nbsp; I'd like it as is, but I do think it's short length and shape would work well as a dress topper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1022332 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 00:14:55 +0000 Angie 1022332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fresh and Pretty.

Love the colours - YLF. I love blue &amp; purple together </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1022201 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 21:32:12 +0000 Karie 1022201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit with and without&nbsp;the jacket. What is it about the jacket that you don't like? The fit and length both look good to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1022110 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 19:37:55 +0000 Anonymous 1022110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle I love the fresh colours on you! I kind of like the jacket but I do get that some of the other ladies&nbsp;think it may be a tad short&nbsp; and may be better suited to dresses, I'm inclined to agree somewhat though it bothers me less. AG has a point about the lack of curve. Can we see it with some dresses before we help you decide? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1022105 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 19:35:07 +0000 Thistle 1022105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pil - The jacket does not button. Maybe that is part of it.&nbsp; I think I am going to try it with a dress next week!&nbsp; </p> <p>Hmmm, do blue and purple go together? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1022102 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 19:32:13 +0000 Dawn 1022102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These colours are beautiful on you and I don't see any obvious issues with the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1022078 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 19:03:31 +0000 pil 1022078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful colors on you, Thistle. Does the jacket button - would that make a difference? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1022076 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 19:00:04 +0000 JulieJohn 1022076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Thistle, I really love the jacket! It rounds out the outfit and looks so pretty. Something about the silhouette I think, though I am clueless so let's just say - Looks GOOD! Keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1022033 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 18:00:24 +0000 Day Vies 1022033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are my happy colors and they look fantastic on you! I don't see any glaring problems with the jacket. If I could see it from different angles I could give you better feedback. I'm not sure what about the jacket has you stumped. because I am not sure that longer would be better. Just to be clear I love this outfit both ways. With the jacket looks "finished" so that look wins for me by a hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1021963 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 16:45:25 +0000 modgrl 1021963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the colors on you! I think it's a really pretty jacket. I'm not sure about the length with this combo. It seems like if the top was longer, it would work. Or if you were wearing the jacket with a skirt that might work better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1021959 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 16:42:17 +0000 AviaMariah 1021959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't get past the beautiful colors! &nbsp;Some of my favorites. &nbsp;It looks like you got good advise from others on the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1021936 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 16:15:00 +0000 catgirl 1021936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye it's the straight jacket hem.&nbsp; I have a black jacket cut that way and can't seem to wear it.&nbsp; A curved hem seems more flattering, even a slight curve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1021914 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 15:44:42 +0000 Pawprints 1021914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely your colors. So pretty. </p> <p>Hard to know what the thing is about the jacket. If you keep rejecting it yourself, I would clear it out so your whole closet loves you well and easily, whatever the reason it is that it's not suiting you. </p> <p>I agree that something seems less than optimal. Full length sleeves might be better (for no rational reason; I just squint and think yeah maybe). Or a fit that looks like it would close if you wanted it too. This is a personal eye thing. Some people find a fit that's never going to close looks just fine open. Others think it throws the eye off even when open is the intended style. So that could be it. I don't know, there's something proportional about it, but I can't put my finger on it. Such a shame because the color is outstanding on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1021905 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 15:28:14 +0000 unfrumped 1021905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Total water world. Luscious colors.<br />I agree the jacket is probably too short for the pants and that is what looks off to you. The jacket isn't super tailored either but I don't think that is a problem, especially for the summery color and vibe. Since the color is so great, maybe try styling as a topper over dresses--for A/C in summer--so&nbsp;even keep if you have a goal dress in mind in related colors. You could try it with random dresses to start, just to see if the proportions click. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1021820 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 14:02:06 +0000 Raisin 1021820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely colours! So fresh ! I think the jacket would work well over a dress. The cropped length seems perfect for a dress to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1021819 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 14:01:28 +0000 ironkurtin 1021819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are awesome colors for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1021809 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 13:55:26 +0000 texstyle 1021809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely colors and outfit -&nbsp;for the jacket, maybe it is just a bit short for pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1021808 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 13:53:38 +0000 Suz 1021808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fresh and pretty, Thistle! I wonder what it is about the jacket that bothers you? Perhaps it is the way the sleeves end right where the jacket ends? Or is it the jacket's length with pants? Did you try it with skirts/ dresses?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---watercolors-and-kt#post-1021803 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 13:49:16 +0000 Thistle 1021803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually had time this morning, and there is a pile of clothes on my bed I need to put away tonight. :)&nbsp; Ah well! I ended up running out of time and opted for my Ralph Lauren white trousers and watercolor top. It will be warm enough for today's chill, but still makes me feel like summer isn't completely gone.</p> <p>I tried it with the blue jacket in picture #2, and then opted not to wear the jacket. This jacket has me stymied. I have tried to wear it several times this summer as I love the color, but it just hasn't worked. Wondering if I should just donate it. </p>
