Especially since suits are your happy clothes.<br />I missed the taupe suit purchase- so sad. Must have been after I left.<br />You are gorgeous in person and I am so happy that I got to meet you and be almost Moto twins.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/3#post-1218472 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 17:07:46 +0000 Phatgranny 1218472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, this jacket is exquisite and a perfect fit.&nbsp; Beautiful.&nbsp; I feel you should go for the pants, simply to have such a gorgeous suit.&nbsp; I agree with whomever said the jacket is the hard part and that pants are a much simpler alteration if necessary.&nbsp; Go for it!&nbsp; The meet-up in Boston looked so fun and how fun for you to come home with such a prize!&nbsp; I love shopping trips that yield such magnificent bounty!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/3#post-1218426 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 16:24:48 +0000 Alassë 1218426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd vote try the pants as well, if duties/shipping permit. I'm happy that you found the jacket to rule them all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/3#post-1218418 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 16:19:58 +0000 Karie 1218418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just coming back to say - and I haven't read all the comments so forgive me if it's been said already - mix and match! Could you mix and match the Reiss pants with the Tahari blazer? Oh, the outfit possibilities...</p> <p>Not that I'm an enabler or anything </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/3#post-1218386 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 15:42:15 +0000 Freckles 1218386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely stunning, I'm so happy you found such a fab jacket for yourself.</p> <p>Re the trousers...<br />If it were myself I would buy them but I don't wear jeans and would wear them in my daily life. &nbsp;You already have a suit (can't wait to see) and these clothes do fit into one of your capsules although not in daily rotation. &nbsp;I think that even they might make another awesome suit cpw has to factor into it. &nbsp;Do you get bored with your pants as easily as other items in your wardrobe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/3#post-1218268 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 13:35:19 +0000 shedev 1218268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is lovely. I'd try the pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/3#post-1218141 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 10:28:56 +0000 Inge 1218141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very relieved to hear that little "slap" made all concerns disappear :-)</p> <p>Oh Suz, could this blazer be anymore perfect for you!! The fit is divine, the colour and cut&nbsp; (so crisp and clean) are gorgeous, and I know from experience that the quality of Reiss blazers is impeccable. It truly has your name written all over it, and agree that it was worth the investment. You will want to wear this all the time, I think.</p> <p>And yes! I knew it, you bought the taupe suit:-) Can't wait to see you model it for us too. What fantastic loot you brought home from Boston, WOW.</p> <p>About the Reiss trousers: if you can't stop thinking about them, and you feel you could use a pair of dressy ink blue trousers, then it's worth exploring further. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/3#post-1218135 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 10:22:24 +0000 kkards 1218135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the jacket, its fab! as for the pants, i say try, but don't keep unless they are perfect.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/3#post-1218133 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 10:20:43 +0000 lyn67 1218133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, so here it is THE jacket! Plonk! best fit and color ever!(I like the very dark navy). I am not a suit person and never like matchy matchy for me, so I wouldn't order the trosers for myself, but I know you could get your mileage out of a second suit, too-so then, I say go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/3#post-1218129 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 10:07:41 +0000 Jjsloane 1218129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Diana said. Try the pants, but keep your expectations at a medium and be prepared to pay for your curiosity. It would make a fantastic suit if it works, but if not the jacket is stunning perfection and has great memories associated with it.&nbsp;</p> <p>BTW I think we all have some imperfections we were self conscious about in our in person meetings. I saw only your gorgeous eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/3#post-1218113 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 08:23:06 +0000 Astrid 1218113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's the perfect jacket for you! I think this is going to be money well spent. I think I would definitely try the pants too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/3#post-1218049 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 05:28:30 +0000 Golden 1218049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous jacket, it looks as if it were made for you! I would talk to the store and get advice on the fit and try the pants, then you would have a beautiful suit!!! Good luck </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/3#post-1218046 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 05:17:20 +0000 Neel 1218046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket is a brilliant find!!

I loved that jacket on Viva and it looks equally perfect on you! I'm also a vote for ordering the pants just to see, if nothing else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/2#post-1217973 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 02:53:21 +0000 Lyn D. 1217973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FANTABULOUS Suz :)<br />IGWYM about that brief twinge of&nbsp;'did I spend X$?' &nbsp;BUT- when it is PPPP you know that you will forever be so happy that you bought, and the $value fades quicker than the mistake of&nbsp;poorly chosen multiples adding to the same amount do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/2#post-1217959 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 02:13:55 +0000 Suz 1217959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, C1 -- it is crazy expensive. But so well made.&nbsp;</p> <p>In the meantime, you can rely on the Rack for Theory!! :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/2#post-1217954 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 02:11:01 +0000 crazyone 1217954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know for a fact that you look amazing in this jacket, because I was there when you tried it on &nbsp;So glad that you and Viva went back to get them when you had a chance!&nbsp;</p> <p>The stuff at Reiss was very beautiful and seemed to be very well made. &nbsp;I'll have to check them out again...when I have a better income </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/2#post-1217935 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 01:44:24 +0000 Suz 1217935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, that's exactly it. I put it on and felt immediately like "me." It was all I could do not to scrunch the sleeves (as I've done here) and start styling it my way....</p> <p>So even when I got hit by a wave of temporary worry about it yesterday, I wasn't <b>really </b>worried. Because I'd had the "this is me" feeling when putting it on.&nbsp;</p> <p>Viva felt the same thing.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am so grateful to her. I left it -- we were going to come back after a little while to consider (at Angie's suggestion). But then Viva wanted to try hers just once more...she did...and then we went to find Angie, because we were just both so taken with these jackets all over again.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/2#post-1217925 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 01:36:33 +0000 Jaime 1217925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely scratch the itch&nbsp;and order the pants just so you don't have to wonder. The jacket is just wonderful on you. One of those pieces that just embodies the person (if I may be so bold as we have not yet met!). I will "patiently" wait for the suit reveal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/2#post-1217914 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 01:15:27 +0000 merwoman 1217914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfection.</p> <p>I vote give the pants a go - navy is so versatile.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/2#post-1217893 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 00:57:35 +0000 CocoLion 1217893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only have my phone but from what I can see this is THE perfect jacket. I love the white touches in this outfit. You've been wanting a suit, I say go for it. I think pants are easier to alter than jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-boston-purchase-question/page/2#post-1217846 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 00:26:44 +0000 pil 1217846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I would have seen the jacket on you and Viva in person, but my keister was planted at All Saints. It is gorgeous in the pictures and I think it looks better on you than the model. The pieces at Reiss really were exquisite.</p> <p>The suit is spectacular on you - and I have the photos to prove it </p>
