I do understand your hesitation to commit, but really it looks smashing here. Ok, so I am waiting for the Lanai to arrive - I think that might help clarify some things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear/page/2#post-1039697 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 02:16:22 +0000 soobee 1039697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit Suz.&nbsp; That belt looks so chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear/page/2#post-1039687 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 01:59:11 +0000 Sveta 1039687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>K, I love the shoes!

I can shop my Winners for you if you want... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear#post-1039612 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 23:55:12 +0000 K. Period. 1039612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you cutie! I wrote out a long response post to you on my WIW post from yesterday, but the upshot is really what Una said. You would bring the edge to it, if that's what you want to do. &nbsp;It isn't like you plan to wear it with a bunch of classic classic classic items. You are really just deciding whether you want super edgy by using an edgy jacket with an edgy top or classic/edgy contrast by using a classic jacket with an edgy top. </p> <p>But back to how fab you look! You look stunning in this! And I'm nearly an identical twin of yours today entirely by accident!&nbsp;I'm wearing my wider cut pinstripe trousers (J Crew suiting again!) with my snow leopard cardi and silver pointy wedges. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw your posting, our outfits look so close to identical. &nbsp;So, I think you look super duper fab today and are totally brilliant too!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear#post-1039607 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 23:50:04 +0000 MsMary 1039607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Three words:</p> <p>Cut</p> <p>Those</p> <p>Tags</p> <p>:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear#post-1039605 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 23:47:28 +0000 Suz 1039605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I do not know how it happened. I thought it was going to be $140, too, but for some reason the receipt read $120! So...whatever...I am taking it. :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the hose, I have four words for you. The same four words I said to Glory when she reported some recent Winner's find. Frye boots by the boatload, I think it was: &nbsp;Not. At. My. Winners.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think we must have the worst Winners anywhere in Kingston. By what miracle did I find my VC mixed media military style colourblocked pea coat there? I can't imagine what happened. No wonder I snapped it up the second I saw it. I will never find a treat like that again! </p> <p>Seriously...our Winners has plain black hose only.&nbsp;</p> <p>Now that the Lanai jacket is on its way to My US address, I think I had better wait to decide on this BR one for sure. There are only so many navy jackets a woman can have in her closet. But I am glad for the vote in favour.&nbsp;</p> <p>Caro, that is a good question about whether I'd feel comfortable passing the jacket along. I tend to do that really only for trending pieces that I wear to death. But there is no reason I couldn't pass a classic jacket along if a better one came along, except $$$ and a guilty conscience about adding to the fashion churn! Still, my donation would be somebody else's delight, and that is nothing to sniff at.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear#post-1039594 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 23:38:15 +0000 Sveta 1039594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, how did you get the price of $120 for the jacket - I think mine was $144 + tax...<br />At last we can see the DVF sweater in action! Of course it looks much better IRL because this blush color just does not come right on the screen. I like it with BR jacket. You know, I think you should keep it (psst, while Angie isn't looking). If mine was 2" longer I may have kept it too but it is just too short on the back for me.<br />As for the patterned tights: are you checking your Winners? I always check the hosiery section there and often find patterned tights for cheap. Try it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear#post-1039586 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 23:31:05 +0000 Caro in Oz 1039586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for responding Suz - I've been taking this journey too As I said on your other post this has been so helpful for me in understanding where&nbsp;I stand. </p> <p>The other thing I forgot to mention was how would this jacket/suit fit in with your understanding of yourself as a person who is happy to&nbsp;wear something all season then when you've finished you've finished &amp; you&nbsp;pass it on? Or is that aspect of your style more for trending pieces? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear#post-1039580 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 23:22:39 +0000 Suz 1039580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Caro. Yes, it is the classic fit and Angie's suggestion that it isn't the right suit for me. (Along with yours and others whose judgement I trust and value.) I think it's true, as regards the style -- the style is so classic and if not "dated" then certainly not fashion forward. And yet...comfort and ease is something a photo can't measure. Luckily I have some time to brood on this.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear#post-1039564 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 22:54:20 +0000 Caro in Oz 1039564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do look fab Suz &nbsp;The&nbsp;BR suit jacket&nbsp;looks really good &amp; I understand about movement &amp; fit, which is&nbsp;impossible to judge&nbsp;in photos. What is your hesitation? Is it the classic feel of the jacket or something else?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear#post-1039540 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 22:17:50 +0000 Lyn D. 1039540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely Suz!<br />If I had to choose I prefer the longer jacket with the wide legged pants- better balance to the lower half. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear#post-1039434 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 19:11:11 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 1039434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh you are gorgeous. The beauty of this outfit I think is that it suits so many different situations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear#post-1039426 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 18:54:19 +0000 catgirl 1039426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Third time now - I think the BR jacket may be the jacket you never knew you needed! Wanting to throw it on over anything is a sure sign of a workhorse. You look fantastic and YOU ((hair, styling, shoes) bring the modern edge to the party. I remember realizing that some items are so conservative - maybe that isn't the right word - that they are edgy (like a Burberry trench).</p> <p>And the Lanai could still work too!</p> <p>I'll shut up now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear#post-1039391 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 18:13:36 +0000 rachylou 1039391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharp! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear#post-1039338 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 17:01:19 +0000 kellygirl 1039338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! Who would have thought the white belt would look so stunning in this? Certainly not I! You look amazing. You have such a good eye, Suz. Cut those tags!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear#post-1039337 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 16:59:59 +0000 Suz 1039337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Peri. The sweater has a blush background. It's quite an interesting mix.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear#post-1039332 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 16:57:37 +0000 Peri 1039332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! Am I seeing soft pink in the background of that animal print? I would love that combo!</p> <p>I'm voting for the jacket in the second picture over the one in the third. Not that they are hugely different, but the second one is really flattering and looks more shaped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear#post-1039306 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 16:33:54 +0000 Suz 1039306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still haven't cut those tags, Shannon! I am really debating. When I consider, though -- the price was $120. Not a huge amount. Not more than a Zara jacket, really -- and better quality and materials. But. There <b>is</b> the all-important style factor! Anyway...today I don't need it. Too warm out!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear#post-1039300 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 16:12:20 +0000 Alexandra 1039300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great, both with and without the jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear#post-1039291 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 16:00:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1039291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this is all kinds of wonderful Suz - beautiful fit, fluidity, pattern, pops of white...fabulous!</p> <p>Please PLEASE tell me you've cut the tags off the BR jacket? It looks spectacular on you and hearing you describe how good it&nbsp;<i>feels</i> means it will be a workhorse for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trousers-and-fluid-knitwear#post-1039283 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 15:48:36 +0000 Mona 1039283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another wonderful outfit! The pops of white keep the whole thing so fresh. Is the Danier bag new? The cheap white belt looks actually really good. </p>
