This is a great transitional piece and why I love spring clothing more than high summer, as it is much more versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal/page/2#post-1727795 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 02:15:24 +0000 Brooklyn 1727795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jenn. I suspected we would be sympatico on the jacket :). And now I am getting so excited seeing all this velvet and embroidery and brocade around I will have to be extra careful about over indulging. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal/page/2#post-1727789 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 01:54:22 +0000 Jenn 1727789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that jacket! I'm a big fan of those ethnic, geometric-type prints, but they never seem to work right on me. This works superbly on you, though. I hope you get a lot of wear out of it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Totally get the retail therapy thing, too. At least you made a great choice, and it's hard to do&nbsp;<i>too&nbsp;</i>much damage at H&amp;M, at least. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal/page/2#post-1727753 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 00:43:19 +0000 Brooklyn 1727753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, thanks everyone! Serenely maximal is rather good! I am glad the look&nbsp;is not hectic. I don't think I will be wearing hectic maximalism (not intentionally anyway!). </p> <p>Coco, I agree the jacket has a certain earthiness. You picked it too Unfrumped. That was part of the appeal for me.</p> <p>Hopefully this jacket will be a good souvenir&nbsp;of retail therapy. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal/page/2#post-1727560 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 16:15:22 +0000 JAileen 1727560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if it's maximal, but you look great in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal#post-1727556 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 16:08:41 +0000 tulle 1727556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an interesting and flattering jacket!&nbsp; You look terrific, and the zebra bag is a great touch.&nbsp; Just Maximal Enough for real life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal#post-1727466 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 12:21:35 +0000 Suz 1727466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Once again, I am taking lessons. Layered dresses (remind myself of this) and OTK boots and print jacket and fun pattern mix. It's minimally &nbsp;maximal and PERFECT in my opinion. That jacket was a brilliant find for you -- texturally interesting and cross seasonal. I love it with the zebra bag.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm sorry you had a rough week and hope you are feeling a bit better now. You look amazing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal#post-1727461 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 12:09:02 +0000 Anonymous 1727461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely adore everything about that ensemble. &nbsp;You look so amazing!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal#post-1727451 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 11:11:37 +0000 Helen11 1727451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you enjoy the jacket - some of my retail therapy items are long standing favourites. &nbsp;And I hope your weekend is restful to make up for the week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal#post-1727434 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 10:16:03 +0000 Momo 1727434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great!

It's a great jacket with a really nice texture and design. It's a bit 'earthy' but that's balanced with a nice classical cut. I love that you layer dresses too.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal#post-1727391 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 04:44:11 +0000 Diana 1727391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This strikes me as being harmoniously maximal (as opposed to hectic maximal). Whatever it is, I like it! Very clever to layer the two dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal#post-1727382 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 03:55:48 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1727382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, layered dresses. I wouldn't have thought of putting the one with sleeves and turtleneck on the outside--what a great idea. <br />I think minimally maximal is right, and whatever you call it, the outfit is amazing. I love the bag and the OTK boots with it. The new jacket is a great find. Hope your work and week are both looking up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal#post-1727358 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 02:40:43 +0000 Jaime 1727358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Serenely maximal. Maximally serene? You look fabulous whatever you call it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal#post-1727299 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 00:07:52 +0000 Style Fan 1727299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jacket.&nbsp; Perfect retail therapy.&nbsp; Love how you have put the 2 dresses together.&nbsp; Great idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal#post-1727295 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 00:02:17 +0000 Brooklyn 1727295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!</p> <p>Chouette22. The dress layering does add warmth but also some interest, especially if I take the jacket off. Because the long sleeve dress is jersey and the sleeveless dress is a knit, you get a&nbsp;mix in textures. Like wearing a knitted&nbsp;vest over a long sleeve top. Also, there is a slight layering effect at the hems (the long sleeve dress is slightly longer at the back than the knit dress). But of course you can't see this in the photo because it's black.</p> <p>AG, I like your idea - about adding an intense item. That's what I liked about mixing the bag with the jacket. Upping the intensity of the graphic black and white effect. It would be good to do this with colour too.</p> <p>Banoffi, it's not a sweater jacket but it is fairly lightweight and unlined. More like a denim jacket (as it's mostly cotton). Hopefully I will get some wear out of it during the Spring.</p> <p>RobinF, I hope you check it out!</p> <p>Tanya, that's a great jacket. I covet most of your wardrobe!</p> <p>And thanks for the therapy everyone :)</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal#post-1727201 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 19:05:13 +0000 Kaelyn 1727201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, minimally maximal. I'd wear something like this, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal#post-1727196 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 18:53:20 +0000 catgirl 1727196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great example of what I posted about - this is perfect and somewhere in between to my eye! Not hectic but with a more intense item to give it a more complex vibe. Must ponder because I had a bit of a fail this morning trying to be maximal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal#post-1727189 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 18:46:24 +0000 Elizabeth P 1727189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing, regardless of the degree of maximalness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal#post-1727187 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 18:43:41 +0000 Mirjana 1727187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this jacket, it is fab with this clutch and you are gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal#post-1727133 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 16:26:03 +0000 Anonymous 1727133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry about the bad week You look super stunning as usual though. You and that jacket were meant to be together and the clutch is fab with it. Love the idea of the dress layering too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal#post-1727117 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 15:05:33 +0000 chouette22 1727117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great - wonderful outfit. But I just have to ask with regards to your layering two black dresses over each other. Was this done for warmth only, or was there an effect we may not see in the pictures? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maximal#post-1727085 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 14:02:06 +0000 Angie 1727085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maximal - YOUR way.
