Too bad we are not neighbors IRL. &nbsp;I will post separately on how I reduced the scarf.</p> <p>Hah, la P, I'm really tired of this and all braided rugs, but it's not a top priority on my house makeover todo list. </p> <p>column...interesting comment about lifting the undereye area. I have a strange combo of very good skin, not many wrinkles, but huge undereye hollows that no makeup can do much about. I'm considering trying fillers next year. Interesting that you think the haircut makes a bit of on improvement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-puffer-vest-worn-two-ways#post-1866313 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 15:02:41 +0000 Sara L. 1866313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're both great outfits!&nbsp; You've done a nice job of using your scarf and shoes to create lighter and darker looks.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-puffer-vest-worn-two-ways#post-1866271 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 10:53:15 +0000 Column 1866271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing Angie and everyone else`s sentiments. You have really gotten fit, color, and proportion down. Loving the shorter bangs in your haircut, too. I also find they help "lift" the undereye area. We absolutely CAN look better as we age! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-puffer-vest-worn-two-ways#post-1866268 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 10:22:42 +0000 Style Fan 1866268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are looking good these days Chris.&nbsp; I love how you have styled the vest in both pics.&nbsp; The first one brings a lot of light to your face which is lovely and the second one is a beautiful combination of colours which is gorgeous.&nbsp; I can not pick a favourite.&nbsp; </p> <p>I have a new puffer vest that is similar to the packable type.&nbsp; I agree that they are wardrobe workhorses.&nbsp; Mine is olive green and from Lululemon.&nbsp; I am considering a packable jacket as well.&nbsp; Perfect for travelling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-puffer-vest-worn-two-ways#post-1866201 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 01:21:05 +0000 kerlyn 1866201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO good, Chris! &nbsp;Love both versions. &nbsp;Black, gray, and burgundy are beautiful together, and that vest is so flattering on you. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-puffer-vest-worn-two-ways#post-1866083 Thu, 07 Dec 2017 16:27:13 +0000 LaPed 1866083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love how harmonious the scarf in #2 is with your braided rug!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-puffer-vest-worn-two-ways#post-1865969 Thu, 07 Dec 2017 03:29:04 +0000 Jaime 1865969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect puffer and great outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-puffer-vest-worn-two-ways#post-1865957 Thu, 07 Dec 2017 02:44:28 +0000 Anonymous 1865957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please pack this all up and send to me ASAP And tell me how you did your scarf reductions ! Cut and sew ? The one I posted today is ridiculous and I think I’m going to do a centre seam surgery on it . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-puffer-vest-worn-two-ways#post-1865917 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 23:33:58 +0000 harmonica 1865917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are wonderful outfits! Sorry can't choose a favorite. You look fantastic. Loving your hair, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-puffer-vest-worn-two-ways#post-1865911 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 23:20:56 +0000 Aida 1865911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look great though I think I have a slight preference for the second with its moody colors and dramatic scarf. Especially liking that you didn't pair with more black, really gives some nice depth and skews both outfits a little away from geary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-puffer-vest-worn-two-ways#post-1865790 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 16:28:59 +0000 Chris987 1865790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>T Hanks so much Angie, your kind words always make me happy! I did try tucking&nbsp;in the darker scarf and that works when the vest is zipped up but it's still just too much&nbsp;scarf for my short neck, small face, and small frame. :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks Robinf, Suz, jaileen, sisi! </p> <p>Thanks the Cat - I did not like the ruffle trend much until I figured out that on me I like a small ruffle at cuff or collar, but almost never any amount across the body or at the armholes. Now I like it a lot. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>SarahD8 - thanks and yes that scarf is a butterfly print. I had it for quite a while before I realized that :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>Joy thanks, and definitely look for a packable puffer vest. This one has turned out to be so versatile, and I expect to wear it under other pieces&nbsp;deeper into winter. It's amazing how lightweight and warm it is and how small it packs. Look for just the right fit, there are so many choices you should be able to find what works. Same is true for the coats. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-puffer-vest-worn-two-ways#post-1865787 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 16:05:28 +0000 Sisi 1865787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One can see that this vest fits you very well ! I prefer outfit #1 because it enlightens you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-puffer-vest-worn-two-ways#post-1865785 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 16:01:30 +0000 Anonymous 1865785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both outfits and am having a hard time choosing a favorite. You do such a great job of pulling everything together. You are inspiring me to look for one of the new packable puffer vests. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-puffer-vest-worn-two-ways#post-1865779 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 15:55:15 +0000 JAileen 1865779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I like wearing vests in this way. You great in both outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-puffer-vest-worn-two-ways#post-1865770 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 15:30:00 +0000 SarahD8 1865770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both outfits. The vest fits you perfectly! Especially like the combo of ruffles and light scarf in #1, and the scarf in #2 (which seems like a butterfly version of a "winter floral" -- love!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-puffer-vest-worn-two-ways#post-1865765 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 15:22:55 +0000 Suz 1865765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris, you are looking SO amazing. Love both versions.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-puffer-vest-worn-two-ways#post-1865762 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 15:19:43 +0000 The Cat 1865762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look fine. I prefer the first look because the light pullover and scarf bring light and attention to your beautiful face and hair. I also like how your chic silver grey shoes/boots are bookending your pullover. And the small rufles at your wrists are cute details. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-puffer-vest-worn-two-ways#post-1865756 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 15:08:50 +0000 RobinF 1865756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they both look nice but I slightly prefer the first look. The light sweater looks great with the darker vest and the booties are fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-puffer-vest-worn-two-ways#post-1865754 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 15:08:13 +0000 Angie 1865754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS all round, and #2 is Killer</p> <p><b>Chris</b>, you have never looked better. Casual Comfy New England Chic, right here.&nbsp;</p> <p>You can also tuck the ends of the scarf in #1 into the vest for a cravat look. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-puffer-vest-worn-two-ways#post-1865747 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 14:58:18 +0000 Chris987 1865747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this vest at Nordstrom Rack at the end of last March, but didn’t get to wear it until recently. It is a petite and fits absolutely perfectly, and although I’ve had a lot of experience with puffer garments, this is my first experience with the newer more fitted, lightweight, packable styles. What a huge difference! The temperatures in the last few weeks have been cool but not really cold, so it’s been perfect as a topper for days when I’m out running around but not spending a lot of time outdoors. </p> <p>1. with burgundy pants, pale grey sweater, grey booties and bag,  and a white, red, grey, blue print scarf<br /> 2. With grey jeans, burgundy turtleneck, black bag, burgundy booties and burgundy scarf. This scarf is too big, I need to give it the same size-reduction treatment I already gave the lighter scarf shown above. </p> <p>Which do you prefer? All comments welcome as usual. </p>
