The holes are still there but the white marks have gone will give it an iron after it dries fingers crossed x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-144361 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 15:39:05 +0000 Louise 144361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy i never thought of moving the hook and eye closure I might give that a go thanks.<br /> I can't sew the original sequins back on because half were missing before i bought it but i might have a mooch on ebay see if i can find some to replace the whole lot with x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-144354 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 15:29:08 +0000 Anonymous 144354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket looks fabulous on you. As Sara said, try it unbuttoned as in Rite's link too. It looks like it fits in the shoulders. Could you move the button just a bit if the gaping at the chest bothers you? I kind of like a bit of gaping at the chest on myself because it seems to fool the eye and add a bit more fullness there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-144342 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 15:16:59 +0000 Carole 144342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Louise, what a great haul!</p> <p>(love your purple bag, we are purple purse twins)<br /> LOVE the cream flats and also the wedges!<br /> I really liked the sequin tuxedo jacket on you, I'm with San, I'd try sewing the sequins back on, how great that would be, and so fun!</p> <p>oh, and the necklace LOVE that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-144270 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 12:09:48 +0000 An 144270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Louise, I think that jacket is really flattering on you. I can definately see you wearing this so well. Could you post a pic of how you are planning to wear it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-144226 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 07:31:50 +0000 yublocka 144226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shopping day Louise. You were really dressed well for the occasion. I am still in love with that purple bag btw! Love the cream flats and cream sandals - talk about being sorted for summer huh!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-143868 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 15:58:49 +0000 RoseandJoan 143868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Without the route march you may not have all of those fab things! I hope the sequins are easy to remove, the jacket is beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-143760 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 07:21:51 +0000 Louise 143760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all for your thoughts I still wonder whether it's a bit big round the bust. You can't see it in the photo but it gapes a bit.<br /> Katie my forum name was originally loulou because Louise was taken then when things where updated I changed it. Only one person calls me loulou and that's a lady i used to work with some people call me lou I don't mind any of them x</p> <p>Edit- just saw sara's comment about leaving it undone that would solve the gaping I'll try and post piccies later. Rute and susan thanks for the outfit suggestions x</p> <p>2nd edit- The jacket was a bargain £15 down from £55 so i hope to make it work the sequins are just attatched on 1 running thread i think as some more have fallen off in the bag! x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-143755 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 07:10:52 +0000 Katiepea 143755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Louise, I really, truly, seriously LOVE your tuxedo jacket! (Can you tell I like it just a bit?) Your shopping outfit looks great, your shoes look brilliant and I think you have had a very successful outing.x</p> <p>PS: I love on photobucket that your name says LouLou. My best friend's name is also Louise and only I can EVER get away with calling her that (very special privileges)! Are you the same, or do you let others call you that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-143739 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 06:12:49 +0000 Theresa 143739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great Haul Louise!</p> <p>I love your shopping outfit, the necklace, the sandals and the flats the best of all - the tuxedo jacket is a bit bold for my own personal tastes, but I can see you wearing it with ease and looking very fab in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-143671 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 03:29:21 +0000 Susan 143671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything you bought. Especially the tux jacket. I see it with a slim straight skirt, some killer boots, and some colorful accessories. I want to see pics!<br /> Also, I'm trying to limit my shopping nowadays but I do lust after cream flats. So cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-143638 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 02:56:07 +0000 Queen Mum 143638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You had a successful day! I love everything. The jacket is perfect on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-143585 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 02:10:48 +0000 florida 143585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GOSH I actually really love the sequins on the tuxedo jacket! It looks great on you--looks like it fits perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-143581 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 02:08:42 +0000 MNsara 143581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like everything but especially the tuxedo jacket! Take off the sequins and wear it unbuttoned/unhooked. I like the balance it brings to your hourglass but with the unexpected edge of being a tuxedo look. </p> <p>The silhouette of it with your shopping dress has great proportions - can you replicate that with another skirt? or try the tunic and leggings like rute's link.</p> <p>Have fun with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-143561 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 01:28:26 +0000 marianna 143561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything. Too bad the sequins are missing on the jacket though. Will it be an easy fix to take them all off? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-143522 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 00:50:05 +0000 Angie 143522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness. KILLER tuxedo jacket. Good grief! I'll take one of those too please. You were 100% made for this silhouette, Louise. I'm stealing that tonight. </p> <p>LOVE the ballet flats and sandals, and your shopping outfit is super too. Glad you had a nice time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-143468 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 23:17:49 +0000 taylor 143468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My goodness!!! you are just oozing style and Sass these days. I love your shopping outfit and your loot!! I like a strong shoulder if the silhouette is fitted and the jacket looks fitted but I am not sure how you feel about the fit.Fab!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-143450 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 22:29:48 +0000 Anonymous 143450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket, and everything else too.<br /> I wish half the sequins weren't missing. I'd be tempted to put them back on rather than taking the rest off.<br /> It's not good to judge the jacket with only leggings on. Look how great it looks on you with the rest of your outfit in the first picture. I love this kind of jacket, and it looks great over that black tunic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-143447 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 22:23:05 +0000 rute 143447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Dear Louise,</p> <p>Love you shopping outfit!<br /> You did so well! Love your necklace... I want one too!</p> <p>I'm not sure about the jacket, strong shoulders work in theory for pretty pears. I think it can work with skinnies and a tunic t-shirt.. something like this (hope the link works):</p> <p><a href="http://www.cablecarcouture.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/utah-style-liste-fashion-tuxedo-jacket-leggings.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.cablecarcouture.com.....ggings.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-143444 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 22:20:55 +0000 Losermom 143444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jacket.

You look fab as usual.</p> <p>Flats -- really cute!<br /> Sandals -- great for summer. Are all those straps comfortable?<br /> Necklace -- Lovely. I want something like this :)<br /> Tux jacket -- That's a fun jacket. I actually like the strong shoulders on you. On my monitor though, it's hard to tell about the whole jacket because the jacket blends in with your dark skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-shopping-haul#post-143305 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 17:15:59 +0000 Louise 143305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Went shopping with my friend who makes shopping seem like a route march!!!
