It was the only one left at the Target I was at, and having learned my lesson about not buying a perfect trench coat I saw the month previous, I gave in to the impulse and haven't regretted it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-christmas-eve-crowds#post-1122523 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 19:48:58 +0000 Jewell 1122523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a stylish duo! You both look fab!</p> <p>Was the jacket a recent purchase? It looks like one I saw a lady trying on a few weeks ago at my local Target. She was in love with it! I bought my first faux leather moto last month and have gotten nothing but compliments on it. And since it's faux, I didn't have to worry about the rain when I wore it to the mall last week </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-christmas-eve-crowds#post-1122434 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 17:07:14 +0000 Missey 1122434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally liked your up close face photo as well as the outfit shot.&nbsp; I love an artfully applied face and I think it is a real skill to be able to wear makeup and not have it wear you.&nbsp; I think makeup can add polish and sophistication to any look.&nbsp; You have lovely features and truly enviable brows framing your eyes, so keep showing off your efforts, I say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-christmas-eve-crowds#post-1122427 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 16:58:36 +0000 Sam 1122427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for being so kind. I'm the kind of person who often talks herself out of posting things like WIWs for not being good enough or polished enough, and knowing how welcoming all of you are makes it much, much easier for me to actually post things. :)</p> <p>Runcarla, oh, I know! Faux leather seems to have gotten a lot better over the years. The women's leather market is saturated with lambskin and other top-grain leather right now, and faux holds up really, really well to those, imo. </p> <p>On the other hand, what I really want is a good heavy full-grain leather jacket for me to break in over the years as a "buy it for life" item, and I just can't find anything. Men's leather options are full of these, but for some reason retailers just don't think that women might want the same thing! I've started to investigate some bespoke and made to measure options right now, but it looks like I need to triple my budget for that, which means a few months of saving up.</p> <p>Karie, haha, isn't that perfect? I was actually cutting through the women's section when this one caught my eye, and I stopped to try it on. My SO was with me at the time, and we had this brief exchange:</p> <p>R: Why? You know you're not going to like it, you never like anything here, and it's fake leather, you hate that stuff!<br />Me, literally three seconds later: Um… is this going to my head because it fits in the arms (oh the issues I have with upper arms on leather jackets), or does this look as good on me as I think?<br />R: …it actually looks pretty good, you should buy it at once.</p> <p>Deborah, I agree completely about the length issue! These are a 35.5" inseam, which works on most flats and sub-3" heels, but really doesn't work as well&nbsp;on anything higher. It's tough to find a long enough inseam on a large enough size on a cut with enough room for my thighs. I'm hoping that as I lose weight and my options expand, it'll be easier to find denim that works.</p> <p>lyn67, I love buying hi fancy collars, but MAN, cloth collars pick up dirt fast! The colors on this one have gotten muddy due to frequent washing and I'm thinking it's time for me to buy him a new one so that he looks super snazzy for the photoshoot I wanted to do with the two of us next month. Maybe something with a bright red this time. :)</p> <p>Oh, quick question for everyone: When I take outfit photos, I usually do a close-up on my face as well to record/check my makeup.&nbsp;(I'm learning makeup skills at the same time as learning to dress myself better, so the two are related in my mind.)&nbsp;I posted that shot&nbsp;on my first WIW because it showed the detail on my blazer a lot better than my cell-phone quality outfit photo, but didn't on this one because the image quality here showed my outfit in sufficient detail. How do we generally feel about those kinds of photos on WIWs here? Should I continue to leave them out or include them in the future?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-christmas-eve-crowds#post-1122327 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 09:00:17 +0000 lyn67 1122327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you're both lookin' gorgeous!

I had a similar "oops" at Target tonight. I was supposed to be shopping for last minute stocking stuffers, and I <i>just happened</i> to find a blazer for me. Oops! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-christmas-eve-crowds#post-1121924 Wed, 25 Dec 2013 03:55:41 +0000 Jaime 1121924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your dramatic looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-christmas-eve-crowds#post-1121904 Wed, 25 Dec 2013 03:23:56 +0000 Carla 1121904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG! You and Hugo look like an advert for cool! (Tell me about good faux. The panel on my mixed media skirt is faux, but oh! So luxe feeling!) Happy holidays, Sam, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-christmas-eve-crowds#post-1121896 Wed, 25 Dec 2013 03:07:36 +0000 Sam 1121896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried my level best to take a photo of just me, but Hugo <i>insisted </i>that he be included. (Actually he was so happy to see me home at last—gone for two whole hours, the horrors—that he refused to leave my side.)</p> <p>I'm wearing: Target Jacket, thrifted Calvin Klein top, NYDJ Bootcut Jeans, and Frye Patty Riding Booties.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hugo is wearing: His favorite Collars By Design (they're on etsy) collar.</p> <p>I'm not super thrilled with the fit of these jeans, but they're the only pair of jeans I own right now&nbsp;and they're super comfy, so they see a lot of wear anyway. I bought the jacket on a whim (I was supposed to be shopping for travel toiletries, oops) and I can't believe how much I love it. It hits a lot of my style preferences for a very&nbsp;low price point. I've compared the faux leather to real lambskin jackets, and it's honestly hard to tell the difference. My inner leather snob is willing to let this one be.&nbsp;The boots were purchased just this month and I am completely in&nbsp;love with them and the stacked heel is so astonishingly&nbsp;stable for a 4" heel. </p>
