I think you will enjoy it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jacket-arrived#post-1437049 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 12:05:44 +0000 lyn67 1437049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shape and drape, color is also&nbsp;great and&nbsp;the "wash" gives a texture&nbsp;a bit of closer to some RATE, if you don't mind it. I surely don't:-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jacket-arrived#post-1437043 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 11:43:51 +0000 kkards 1437043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well, you are a poster girl for wearing black and blue together! if is was a doubter before, this outfit has definitely own me over.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jacket-arrived#post-1437038 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 11:30:21 +0000 gryffin 1437038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh it's pretty Deborah.&nbsp; I love texture and shade in pieces - it will be interesting up close but it reads monotone.&nbsp; I think the shape is elegant and very flattering.&nbsp; I know you were expecting it to be more dramatic colorwise but I think this is going to be perfect for you and it should be amazingly versatile.&nbsp; Honestly you could be the fit model for metalicus!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jacket-arrived#post-1437035 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 11:24:01 +0000 Deborah 1437035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dimity I have some tops that kind of mirror the hemline of the jacket so I think they will work. Also when I wear jackets, I often semi tuck my tops:). Good point tho and will need to try it with my tops to make sure:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jacket-arrived#post-1437034 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 11:20:58 +0000 Dimity 1437034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a lovely colour and definitely worth playing with. I can see this working with your style but wondered if it might be too short for a lot of your tops? Of course, I don't know everything you've got but my recollection of&nbsp;what I've seen makes me think you tend towards longish tops. Anyway, if it can work with your existing things I'd say it's a keeper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jacket-arrived#post-1437018 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 08:02:07 +0000 Astrid 1437018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it much better than I thought I would! I would say keep it. To me this looks a bit like a photographing issue - wrong lighting, parameters etc... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jacket-arrived#post-1437014 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 07:44:17 +0000 Caro in Oz 1437014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Maybe they were on acid not the jacket Sorry couldn't <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resist_dyeing">resist</a>&nbsp;</b>okay I'll stop now.

I think I need to see it with some more of your pieces. I'm not sure about the length and I'm kinda bummed that it doesn't look as advertised. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jacket-arrived#post-1436955 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 04:34:04 +0000 Anonymous 1436955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue jacket looks wonderful against your black pieces. I hope that you keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jacket-arrived#post-1436950 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 04:25:36 +0000 Janet 1436950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I see what you mean -- I don't really think it looks "acid wash" either. Sort of a heathered blue. The color is really nice though, and looks great with black. The fit and style suit you nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jacket-arrived#post-1436943 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 04:14:42 +0000 Dee 1436943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't have known your jacket was the same one as the picture! No signs of acid wash to me and the blue provides a nice pop of color for your outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jacket-arrived#post-1436942 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 04:13:52 +0000 jackiec 1436942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking great, Deborah! I'm glad you're improved! I like the jacket a lot! Seems like it will work wonderfully with the rest of your wardrobe. I wouldn't call it acid wash either. Looks more heathered to me. But I like it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jacket-arrived#post-1436941 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 04:12:31 +0000 Deborah 1436941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz and AM. &nbsp;I have phoned Metalicus and sent them a pic and they are following up re the fact that the jacket looks so different.</p> <p>And Suz, there is a reason you are a writer!! &nbsp;Irregularity!!! &nbsp;That's the word I was looking for lol.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jacket-arrived#post-1436939 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 04:09:32 +0000 AM 1436939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jacket is great. The fact that it looks that good with that outfit is reason enough to call it a winner! Nice detail shot. Texture looks super fresh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jacket-arrived#post-1436938 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 04:09:13 +0000 Suz 1436938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off, I'm glad you are on the mend. Secondly, today's outfit may be "comfort" but it looks amazing on you. I really like the way that signature necklace adds a focal point.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the jacket, it is BLUE. What more do you want? &nbsp;;) In all seriousness, it seems like a piece that will work really well in your closet and I cannot see any negative to it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree that "acid wash" is a bit of a stretch, but it does have the sort of irregularity that denim has, so maybe that is where the creative copywriter got her idea?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-jacket-arrived#post-1436936 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 03:56:43 +0000 Deborah 1436936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies,</p> <p>Today was much improved. &nbsp;I wasn't at work lol. &nbsp;Wednesday is my day off and I have been at the community meal today.</p> <p>So this is today's outfit. &nbsp;You have probably now seen many variation of this. This is a bit of a comfort outfit.&nbsp;Harem leggings, Metalicus top and open toe ankle boots. &nbsp;#1</p> <p>AND</p> <p>for those who recall my post on the acid wash jacket from Metalicus! <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/acid-wash-yay-nay">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....sh-yay-nay</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; It arrived. &nbsp;Firstly, I really don't think they used the term correctly and shouldn't have used it at all. &nbsp;There is nothing acid wash about it &nbsp;I am not sure how to describe it. &nbsp;I am sure there is a name for this but???&nbsp; It's kind of mottled in a rate sort of way. Has a bit of a "worn" looks which is very subtle, gives it a bit of edge (IMHO) which&nbsp;I like. &nbsp;&nbsp;In fact it really doesn't look like the catalogue pic at all.</p> <p>It's quite a dark blue and #2 is the best&nbsp;photo in terms of capturing the colour. The size and fit are great. &nbsp;#3 is a close up of the sleeve which doesn't reflect the depth of colour but gives an indication of the finish. &nbsp;#4 is the catalogue photo</p> <p>What do you think? &nbsp;Keep? &nbsp;To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised.<br />What say you? &nbsp;I did wonder if I should phone them and just inquire if any of the jackets did actually look like the catalogue photo?</p> <p>Thanks so much for taking a look.</p> <p>xxx Deborah</p> <p> </p>
