Lots of Ikea here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-green-riding-jacket-classic#post-502820 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 18:52:52 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 502820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although it's hard to let it go, it's for a good reason. You look great and should be able to show it off. If you can't bear to part with the jacket, you could always put it away and deal with it later -- although that could be dangerous if you just end up accumulating unwearable items. </p> <p>On the bright side, I'm intrigued by your closet. Cool shoe rack! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-green-riding-jacket-classic#post-502719 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 17:09:46 +0000 celia 502719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>jackets are the hardest to let go, especially when they go so well but for the size.<br /> I am sending good jacket vibrations to you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-green-riding-jacket-classic#post-502682 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 16:44:17 +0000 Amy 502682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, I know how hard it can be to toss lovely things, but you're just swimming in that jacket. I think you're making the right decision though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-green-riding-jacket-classic#post-502577 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:32:23 +0000 Transcona Shannon 502577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a beautiful jacket Jayne but it's definitely too big on you. Glad you're letting it go - you can definitely do better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-green-riding-jacket-classic#post-502522 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 14:51:33 +0000 goldenpig 502522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree it's too big now. I would take it to a tailor and see how much it would be to get altered and if it's a lot then move on and get something new instead. Show off your slimmer bod, you've worked hard to get it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-green-riding-jacket-classic#post-502521 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 14:49:57 +0000 Lisa 502521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great color for the jacket on you. While it does look a tad too big, perhaps a tailor can slim the sides for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-green-riding-jacket-classic#post-502472 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 13:36:45 +0000 nancylee 502472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that you should let the jacket go. The color is lovely and you've made a good effort to update it, but it really is too big and the style is a little dated I fear. </p> <p>On a brighter note, you might be able to find some jackets on sale now that the winter season is ending. Here's one:</p> <p><a href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=47892&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=129517&#038;scid=129517012" rel="nofollow">http://piperlime.gap.com/brows.....=129517012</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-green-riding-jacket-classic#post-502468 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 13:32:02 +0000 Claudia 502468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful color but you are making the right decision to move on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-green-riding-jacket-classic#post-502464 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 13:14:54 +0000 Mochi 502464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good call, I think. I was noticing how even the sleeves are gigantic on you. It is a lovely jacket that has served you well, and can still has many years left in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-green-riding-jacket-classic#post-502463 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 13:11:28 +0000 jayne 502463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for input...think it will have to go...too big in all places to be worth altering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-green-riding-jacket-classic#post-502448 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 12:39:00 +0000 HeleenH 502448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see what you love about this jacket, so I would second Kimlees suggestion of having it tailored so it really fits and flatters you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-green-riding-jacket-classic#post-502447 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 12:37:55 +0000 rute 502447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh... it seems really too big! Such a lovely shade os green! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-green-riding-jacket-classic#post-502444 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 12:06:48 +0000 kimlee 502444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jayne - My only reservation with the jacket is that it is big on you. I like how you have added the ribbon tie to compensate, but it still appears to big. Since you love this jacket so much, could you have it altered by a tailor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-green-riding-jacket-classic#post-502429 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 07:40:25 +0000 jayne 502429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This jacket had been with me for 20 years. I literally bought it at casual corner on my way out of town moving from ohio to california. The move brought me to the high desert where it became a closet orphan...it is heavy wool and the desert did not welcome it. I absolutely love this jacket. It has the horsey vibe that has always attracted me and the green is pure and true. It had been worn here in norway for many years, even at my highest weight. And now, to fit now I have added a ribbon on back that I tie to create a waist, picture 2. &lt;p/&gt;I already always wear it with black column under so I tried a pencil skirt and a girly skirt, pics 1 &amp; 3. To add sparkle I use my fake snakeskin patent boots and my sweethearts necklace (as in "gift from sweetheart")&lt;p/&gt;Angie, hope you won't ask me to toss it, I know it is a bit big now :). Most clothes have been retired after losing weight but jackets are expensive and have been the last holdout in my wardrobe.. </p>
