Given this is a lighter weight jacket, it works all year round. So great that you and Brooklyn are non identical jacket twins - sam style, different colours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks/page/2#post-1895889 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 03:19:07 +0000 Sal 1895889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is an unusual colour - but that's a good thing ( I think!!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks/page/2#post-1895877 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 01:18:01 +0000 Brooklyn 1895877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent Sally! I saw someone wearing your blazer in the city yesterday. The colour is quite unusual I think. I think it will be a good light neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks/page/2#post-1895872 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 00:58:19 +0000 Angie 1895872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woohooo. Gloating that you’re keeping the blazer. I LOVE it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks/page/2#post-1895868 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 00:33:11 +0000 Sal 1895868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And thanks for the input on all fronts - both those for and against. I won't be adding any more blazers thus winter so wanted to get it right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1895866 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 00:32:05 +0000 Sal 1895866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am keeping the blazer. I tried it on again and I think the fit is good- there is a little room in the shoulders but not excessive- and done up it fits well . It is a slight boxy shape but I think that is the design as Brooklyn said earlier. The colour while lighter than I expected is a really nice addition for my cooler season - it is a perfect autumn, winter, spring weight and lovely with navy, cream, black, camels and cognacs and denim. It will be worn for work to smarten up jeans looks and sometimes with a column of black.</p> <p>It's a bit more structured than my usual style but i wanted that as I have several more casual or soft jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1895247 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 08:00:53 +0000 Sal 1895247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Dianna - yes there are always other ones aren't there?</p> <p>Gigi- I will try on again after a couple of days on a hangar and see.&nbsp; I think there is some extra room in the shoulders width - I am long legged and short waisted which has some tricks for fittting garments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1895226 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 05:12:17 +0000 Gigi 1895226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think the tank in 1 is too short.</p> <p>I love outfit 2...great proportions, and your legs look really long!</p> <p>For the blazer, I would double-check that the shoulders fit properly. They look a little big, but it could be the camera angle. Do you think that the blazer is too formal for your style descriptors? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1895225 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 04:49:00 +0000 Dianna 1895225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those&nbsp;booties are fab, and so is the jacket, but if you are not convinced, it might be better to return and look for another one you might love more.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1895170 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 00:46:54 +0000 Sal 1895170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Brooklyn - you look terrific in yours!!</p> <p>LisaP - I know, never pick a celebrity as a role model.&nbsp; I remember feeling so "let down" when Ben Johnson was found to be a drugs cheat after supporting him over Carl Lewis (who was also one, as were most of them I think)....&nbsp; And also feeling sad when Tom and Nicole split up....&nbsp; crazy stuff isn't it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1895169 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 00:41:15 +0000 Anonymous 1895169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You don't want to be copying Jennifer Aniston - she keeps getting divorced. &nbsp;;) &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1895167 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 00:37:15 +0000 Brooklyn 1895167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally, here is the photo I have of mine - which is with a dress. But I plan to wear it mostly with jeans. I think because it is double breasted it can look a little boxy. But that’s the style. I like my glitzy buttons </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1895165 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 00:30:59 +0000 Sal 1895165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha Brooklyn we cross posted...yes that is the look I want for work or the odd casual meal out.</p> <p>I need to just consider the fit carefully - I think my short waist can make jackets a more difficult fit, and that 14s are often too big and 12s too tight in one point (usually calves and shoulders!!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1895163 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 00:27:31 +0000 Sal 1895163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the great feedback.&nbsp; I will reply to everyone as I am under the pump with work this week!!</p> <p>I agree a topper with one could solve my problem and I usually wear this top with a skirt or shorts.&nbsp; I will examine it and see what I think about it in the cold light of day.</p> <p>And maybe 2 is a top that could be consigned - it is good condition and a good NZ label - but I am a bit sick of it (it opens at the back and is hard to layer over so is very limited in how it can be worn).&nbsp; I do still wear it but probably only three times a season - it is not versatile enough to be an essential nor interesting enough to be a statement.&nbsp; I guess a completer but not the most useful one.</p> <p>The jacket I am on the fence with - which often can mean it is a "no"for me.&nbsp; It is $200 which is a good price for a lovely quality jacket but not insignificant in cost.&nbsp; I will only add one blazer or jacket this winter so I need to decide if this is it.</p> <p>Pros:<br />- light almost neutral which is needed in my winter wardrobe.&nbsp; It is quite warm in tone which makes it work.<br />- lovely weight and construction- I like the fabric quality too.<br />- a colour that will work with denim, black, cream, camel, cognac nicely.&nbsp; &nbsp;I have three pairs of jeans and a pair of pants it would be great with.&nbsp; I can't see it with a dress or skirt.<br />- I could wear this March to November in terms of weight... and it is a different style to anything I currently own.</p> <p>Cons:<br />- I don't wear a lot of these greyish/muted tones - so it is an adjustment<br />- I often find with sizing I am between sizes - this is NZ14 which is the larger of my two sizes.&nbsp; It was not available in a NZ12 - but I suspect that could be too constricting in the shoulders.&nbsp; I think I am short between the bust and shoulder line and can often have a bit too much length in jackets here, yet I need room at the bust and shoulders.<br />- I am not sure about the buttons - but this is an alteration that I am able to do myself.&nbsp; I do like them but they are a bit more glitzy than I usually wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>I will try it again over the weekend and make a call then.&nbsp; It is early in the season (suspect this was left over from spring).&nbsp; I wonder if it is the same style as yours or not Brooklyn?</p> <p>Here is the online photo that I chose it from. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1895162 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 00:25:31 +0000 Brooklyn 1895162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally, some inspiration pics of Jennifer Aniston wearing a similar style jacket with jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1894974 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 18:24:01 +0000 Suz 1894974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal, the booties are fantastic! Such a great score. Enjoy!&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the jacket for you, too. It's a really fun colour and looks versatile as well.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would have said exactly what Angie did -- wear that first top with skirts! Or high waist culottes.&nbsp;</p> <p>The second top looks nice on you but I suspect you are just tired of it. That happens!&nbsp;</p> <p>Happy birthday to your son! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1894944 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 17:23:15 +0000 Anonymous 1894944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the boots - what a great score. I'm unsure about the jacket - to be honest. &nbsp;I like the idea of it, but there is something about it I can't put my finger on - might be a tad too big in the upper body, as Ummlila suggested ? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1894927 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 16:49:07 +0000 Angie 1894927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Carla</b>, how LOVELY to see you post.

I can confirm that it is superb in person! Definitely keep it, and it looks so great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1894875 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 15:27:21 +0000 Angie 1894875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to see your looks again,<b> Sal.</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>Try the first black tank with a skirt. It's a great length for a skirt.</p> <p>LOVING the jacket. Killer, and what a pretty shade of blue. On trend with its modern '80s vibe. The blue boots are divine and suit you to a tee.&nbsp;</p> <p>You looked fab for DS's 16th too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1894846 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 14:54:13 +0000 texstyle 1894846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your jeans and those boots!&nbsp; I'm not sure on the blazer - for me, it's probably the buttons though because I'm really into the minimal blazer look right now with no buttons (meant to only be worn open). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1894828 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 14:19:00 +0000 Sara L. 1894828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both your jean WIW's although I understand how knit tops can lose shape over time.&nbsp; It's not obvious in the photo but may be more noticeable to you in real life.&nbsp; I like the color of the jacket but are the shoulders too big?&nbsp; It's hard to assess fit through a photo when you can't see the full 3D view.&nbsp; Great boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1894825 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 14:13:08 +0000 Cardiff girl 1894825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice,those jeans really suit you,I like the white jacket too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1894803 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 13:41:52 +0000 Toban 1894803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely jean WIWs. I'm not sold on the jacket. It looks too big in the shoulders. I'm personally not a fan of the double-breasted buttons, but it does fit the flamboyant part of your style descriptors.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1894802 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 13:40:54 +0000 Helena 1894802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally, I think you look great ... The first two outfits are perfect casual looks; love the necklace in the second one. I like the jacket and think it might be useful for adding the flamboyant touch to your sporty natural look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1894800 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 13:37:31 +0000 LaPed 1894800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the black tank + dark jeans. Tank doesn't look too short to me, and seems like a solid layering piece if you're not happy wearing it on its own. If you wanted to add something more, I bet the necklace from #2 would look great here.</p> <p>I always find tunic-y tops like the one in #2 difficult to style. I wonder how it looks over a skirt? Sometimes you can get a nice columnar dress-like effect if you layer a longer top over a skirt (or even over a simple dress).</p> <p>I'm not sold on the jacket, only because the shoulders look a bit poofy to me and I'm not sure they hang quite right. The colour looks great on you and quite versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1894788 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 12:21:11 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1894788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jeans look with the &nbsp;black tank. The second top is a good color on you but I am not loving the shape. As for the jacket, there is something about the top part of it that is either bulky or lacks drape that gives me pause. The color suits you, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-kr--jeans-looks#post-1894782 Wed, 28 Feb 2018 12:02:33 +0000 Anonymous 1894782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first outfit! The sunnies add some glamour. Not sure what I’d do for accessorizing. I see @jussie suggests adding a few things, while my eye seems to like the simplicity of it and would not add anything except maybe a bag. But I am bad at accessorizing!</p> <p>Blazer looks fab, to my eye! I really like the colour. Looks good how you’ve styled it with jeans.</p> <p>Great booties! They will be very useful ai’m sure. </p>
