The one I ended up with was shorter, with moto styling, and I'm so glad I didn't keep the first! You know what you want and I think that is most of the battle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pick-me-up-and-earrings#post-853100 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 04:01:27 +0000 amiable 853100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise - Thank you! As far as the jacket, I think it fits like it's intended to, but I also think it's boxier than I want a leather jacket to be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pick-me-up-and-earrings#post-853077 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 03:36:12 +0000 CocoLion 853077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see what's wrong with the leather jacket. It looks good in that picture. Your bright outfit is fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pick-me-up-and-earrings#post-853045 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 02:58:08 +0000 Suz 853045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is super fun! So glad it cheered you up. You look fresh and lovely in it. </p> <p>Yes, it is really tough to thrift leather. I think this is a bit of a boxy cut for you, from the look of it. Alas.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pick-me-up-and-earrings#post-852998 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 02:11:50 +0000 amiable 852998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, you're right PPP is a real learning curve for me. I'm determined to adopt it though. </p> <p>And Una, you're spot on about the jacket - it's a business women's cut, almost certainly from the late nineties. </p> <p>I'm flattered that you called it "too conservative and dated" for my style - that means that I have something of a style! Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pick-me-up-and-earrings#post-852862 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 00:16:37 +0000 Beth Ann 852862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color and layering in #1. And the skinnies in #3 are such an amazing silhouette on you. </p> <p>BTW --- the right jacket will come your way. PPP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pick-me-up-and-earrings#post-852811 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 23:38:04 +0000 Sara L. 852811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the layered sweater and chambray shirt in #1 with your fun earrings. I love the ombre sweater and black jeans in #2! You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pick-me-up-and-earrings#post-852809 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 23:36:47 +0000 Tina.b 852809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look just gorgeous in the bright colours! And you are seriously making me want to delve into red lipstick. I've never found a shade that works for me. I think it is becoming part of your signature look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pick-me-up-and-earrings#post-852807 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 23:35:01 +0000 rachylou 852807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is fab fab fab. The earrings are so fun. And the red lipstick really works.</p> <p>Agree about the leather jacket. </p> <p>The black flats are winners in my book too.</p> <p>:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pick-me-up-and-earrings#post-852789 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 23:16:12 +0000 amiable 852789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just noticed that #1 isn't today's pic of the outfit - I'm wearing earrings today, and no red lips. Hmm... wonder where that pic went... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pick-me-up-and-earrings#post-852759 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 22:43:03 +0000 Raisin 852759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do look very cheery today! I should try this on my tired days too.</p> <p>I love the ombre top. The leather jacket is pretty big on you, and looks like a men's cut. Good think it was just $10, it will do until you find a perfect one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pick-me-up-and-earrings#post-852756 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 22:41:10 +0000 catgirl 852756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks like a nice classy jacket BTW - like that Jones New York style that was big in the late 90s for working women. Just too conservative and dated for your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pick-me-up-and-earrings#post-852733 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 22:25:52 +0000 amiable 852733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally agree with you both on the leather jacket, and doubt it'll be staying long. What I want is a moto jacket, or a cropped leather jacket with fun details. I'll keep watching, and consider this a $10 lesson. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pick-me-up-and-earrings#post-852721 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 22:15:06 +0000 Deborah 852721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is so fab. This suits you so well. The colours are just lovely. I find the jacket dated but I prefer a little shape in a leather jacket. It doesn't look bad, but I don't think it's your best </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pick-me-up-and-earrings#post-852683 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:25:58 +0000 catgirl 852683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, your first outfit is so cheerful! I think I had a striped shirt like that in the 70s that I LOVED. Not sure on the fit of the leather jacket - it looks a little big and a little dated, but it's hard to see details. It is hard to thrift leather IMHO! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pick-me-up-and-earrings#post-852673 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:11:07 +0000 amiable 852673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Extra tired today after an overwhelming weekend, so I decided to wear visual coffee, and went with bright colors. It worked!</p> <p>Since it's "earring day" on InsideOutStyle's FABruary challenge, I wore earrings too. </p> <p>Yesterday, I wore the ombre sweater and black skinnies to church. I liked the combo. For a meeting later in the day, I changed to my black boots, and felt tough in them. </p> <p>Pic #5 has my new-to-me leather jacket, that was a mistake purchase. In the mirror the fit seemed good, but I'm not sure now that I see the picture. And I wish it had more interesting details. I'll keep looking, then purge this one.</p> <p>Suggestions for improvements? </p>
