Maybe it's for hacking around? Or maybe because you start hacking and coughing at the price? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461809 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 04:40:14 +0000 Marley 461809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit Una - it is just so "you!" You really seem to be finding your style! One question - what is a hacking jacket????? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461808 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 04:38:30 +0000 Anonymous 461808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving that jacket on you too. For some reason I want a black and white polkadot skinny scarf or man's tie around your neck when you wear it with black and those Docs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461788 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 04:14:25 +0000 Kyle 461788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love these simple silhouettes on you. You have a strong style and it shines through beautifully this way. I agree that the styling here is spot on...and I like the textured tights. Those, along with the shoes and bold color, add that special Una edge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461649 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 01:46:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 461649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are really rocking' those Docs Una! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461617 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 01:04:10 +0000 Nakidra 461617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una you can wear with jacket with ANYTHING! It ROCKS! I literally chose my college because of the purple (it was between Maize and Blue and Wildcat Purple) ... it's my absolute favorite color. I love this and it looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461611 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 00:59:38 +0000 catgirl 461611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Perhaps the jacket is singing "Don't You Want Me, Baby?"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461607 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 00:58:20 +0000 Jjsloane 461607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would have worn this (rips in tights of course) with my 32 eye purple velvet Docs or high top Converse to a Depeche Mode concert. I like all the suggestions so far, so utlimately KEEP the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461599 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 00:50:35 +0000 Aida 461599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE love this outfit Una, the white jacket cuffs with the white in the shoes is such a fun detail! You are making me want this jacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461512 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 23:24:29 +0000 Jonesy 461512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I just ordered that jacket in the ocean color (a bright medium blue)! I think the purple looks fab on you! Consider it a neutral :)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461509 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 23:13:06 +0000 catgirl 461509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely consider imitation the sincerest form of either flattery or poor judgment. Thanks, y'all! I feel better now about keeping this jacket and finding ways to use it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461502 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 22:53:51 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 461502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the outfits looks really great. I would also pair the purple jacket with a medium to dark olive green and with navy or bright deep blues. </p> <p>Parsley, I used the flattery line too when I first joined. Still do at times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461490 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 22:23:31 +0000 Queen Mum 461490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it just as it is. Love the tights and the oxfords! I am so itching for a red or purple jacket..... and then I'm going to shamelessly copy you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461452 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 20:58:46 +0000 Shu 461452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's awesome as is - but I do love me some Duran Duran ;). I love the white rolled sleeve with the white in your shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461434 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 20:40:36 +0000 rae 461434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it as-is as well, my inner 80s bias is not even affected. </p> <p>For remixing, I can see it with heather gray, camel, tan/nude, denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461433 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 20:39:56 +0000 Vicki 461433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love Angie's ideas and you would knock it out of the wintry park with tweed shorts...wow, would that look good on you. Of course, the best of the best is keeping it simple as she said, with the jeans and boots, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461421 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 20:24:15 +0000 Parsley 461421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll have to try again with my coats and see if they'll work.</p> <p>I'm loving that jacket! I'm trying to add some color and some structured pieces to my wardrobe, and 25% off is so tempting...</p> <p>You do know that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, don't you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461406 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 20:03:17 +0000 catgirl 461406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Parsley, great question. I do have a long down coat that can fit a jacket like this underneath - not the most comfortable arrangement, but it works well enough. As long as I have room in the shoulders to be able to drive, I'm okay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461396 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 19:38:37 +0000 Parsley 461396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your jacket and how you've styled it! That's a beautiful color on you!</p> <p>I bet it would look great with a leather skirt, too.</p> <p>I have a question- for you or anybody who wears jackets. Are you able to wear your winter coat over it? Obviously you're in a cold climate where you need a coat!<br /> I've never worn a lot of jackets, partly because I thought it would be hard to wear a coat in the wintertime. Do you have a coat with wide sleeves to wear over your jackets? Do you size up on your coats to accommodate them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461366 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:40:49 +0000 catgirl 461366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, *phew*! I literally put this together with WWAD (What Would Angie Do?) in my head. The white in the shoes is really forcing me to think outside the box, where my judgment is not reliable.</p> <p>Ah, leather skirt! That's a basic, right? </p> <p>Yes, I am aiming for Team Minimal for sure. Easier on my brain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461358 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:36:00 +0000 Angie 461358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way you styled it right here! This is a KILLER outfit, Una. And you are definitely on Team Minimal these days. Dare I say that this outfit is also sliding up the Polished scale. </p> <p>Jeans, layering top and boots. Keep it simple.</p> <p>Try it over some of your colourful sheath dresses too. </p> <p>With tweed shorts? </p> <p>With your leather skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461357 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:34:26 +0000 catgirl 461357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Considering we have two feet of snow and it's still going, I may have to change to solid tights. Blargh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461352 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:32:47 +0000 MsMary 461352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything except the lace tights. I would do a mini-fishnet, I think.</p> <p>Yes, Suz, purple is totally a neutral in my world!! I would put this jacket with just about any other bright... red, mustard, teal, aqua, orange, you name it! It would also look fab with neutrals like camel or gray or brown. (Camel! I'm swooning!) And me being me, I'd put it with a print blouse or scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461346 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:28:49 +0000 catgirl 461346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claudia, you pusher! You're right, though. Rita, you need to look at the booties Claudia posted on my WIW from yesterday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461345 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:28:10 +0000 Suz 461345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Repair? Who needs repair? </p> <p>At the risk of sticking myself right back in 1984 at the same concert, this looks fabulous! </p> <p>Love those rolled back white cuffs with the white shoes. Love your tights. Love that colour on you! Especially with the red specs. </p> <p>It's funny...on my monitor that black is almost reading navy, which makes me say that navy will work with the jacket. Red for the bold. Grey. Gold...hey, isn't purple a neutral? &lt;grin&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461341 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:26:27 +0000 Claudia 461341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Paul Green booties go with it!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461339 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:25:04 +0000 catgirl 461339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BTW, the Nordstrom bags are from what I got and Rae's sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-need-help-with-jacket#post-461337 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:23:42 +0000 catgirl 461337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a j. crew hacking jacket I got with a discount.. I love it and I'm really wanting to wear more jackets and less cardis in winter. But I have no idea how to style it for work! What goes with this color? What bottoms will work? Is the length okay? I still have time to send it back. </p> <p>Here I've styled it like I would have in 1984 at a Duran Duran concert. Seriously. I may actually have worn some version of this outfit back then. Underneath is a basic black t-shirt (from the grocery store) and a Mo-like fitted black ponte skirt. Is this a hot mess? What can be done to repair it?</p> <p>TIA! </p>
