It's quite fitted. I don't have it fastened. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building/page/2#post-1066751 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 03:03:43 +0000 Janet 1066751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd be lying if I said this was my favorite piece of yours, but I think the fit is great, and I like the cut. You have mentioned an affinity for Liberty floral prints and the like, so I don't see this as totally out of left field. I think the sleek cut keeps it from going prairie cutesy, or as Beth Ann put it, like a Duggar (the family on TV with the 20 kids or however many they have now). </p> <p>The important thing is how you feel in it. I think many of us have a few outlier pieces that throw a little curve ball into our style. Not everyone is going to get them or love them. It's not a bad thing to shake our outfits up with something a bit more unexpected. If you love it, wear and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066707 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 02:18:42 +0000 Jaime 1066707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>umm, 6) time difference and new job?<br />It reminds me of the silver jacket I showed the forum last year. Most approved but in the end I sold it because it just didn't feel right for me. You love the occasional ditsy floral so that is a plus. It does read Elvis a bit - but I think that is your pose in #2. I think the very boxy fit bothers me a bit. It has to be love at first site to wear a jacket like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066703 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 02:16:45 +0000 ironkurtin 1066703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's a Duggar? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066691 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 02:10:15 +0000 Beth Ann 1066691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to respond, not because I clicked on the link and thought, "What do I say?" but because I've been sticky with dough, baking a truckload of oatmeal raisin cookies for DH's birthday.&nbsp; And yes, I was wearing a disty floral apron.</p> <p>At first glance, I thought, "I could never wear this without looking like a Duggar."&nbsp; Thing is --- you completely make this work.&nbsp; I like the sharp notch of the lapel combined with the wide, rounded arch of the rest of the front.&nbsp; The construction is sharp and crisp, and I have, and always will be, a sucker for contrasting prints.&nbsp; This seems like a beautifully made jacket, and pairing with minimal black/white does give off a bit of Elvis vibe.&nbsp; </p> <p>I will always encourage the print loving side of your style because I thinks it's interesting combined with your more architectural pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066662 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 01:48:48 +0000 pil 1066662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The more I look at it the more it grows on me. I think I was thrown by the floral and structure as I'm accustomed to seeing you in fluid, solid fabrics. For what it's worth, Polyvore has it styled the same way.</p> <p>Is the slick feel of the fabric going to be bothersome to you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066648 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 01:34:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1066648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the fit of the jacket and the darker lapels. I find the floral gives some juxtaposition to what could be an outfit with a masculine sensibility. That's something I love in an outfit - the unexpected juxtaposition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066627 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 01:13:18 +0000 Deborah 1066627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a fabulous jacket and I really like the cut on you. &nbsp;Not OTT in my opinion, the tones actually 'subdue' the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066609 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 01:03:12 +0000 Kristin L 1066609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like how it looks on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066596 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:59:04 +0000 ironkurtin 1066596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@unfrumped - definitely does not feel cheap.&nbsp; For what I paid, it better not! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066571 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:48:47 +0000 Sveta 1066571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are the colors more accurate in the your picture or in the catalog? I like them better in the catalog with less blue and more grey. Also the pattern reminds me of lace more than of ditsy floral.&nbsp;<br />I quite like it but Anna maybe right about a different styling with under layer - maybe a tee with a deeper neckline like on the model? Or button down like Anna suggested. It is different from you usual style but isn't it called "style evolution"? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066561 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:45:48 +0000 unfrumped 1066561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the colors work--deep and grayed. Not dusty pink and blue.<br />The style looks fairly crisp and not flouncy. I am fabric-feel sensitive though ,so if it lacks good movement or feels cheap, that could be a no-go.<br />I like annagybee's comment--would try pairing it up with much bad-er stuff.<br />Even if a tee, then a dark or grungy or rockstar tee,&nbsp;not a safe T&nbsp;&nbsp;with blazer.<br />Or over a hoodie?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066548 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:37:53 +0000 Parsley 1066548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm torn about it. I like the fit, and I like the pattern of the sleeves and lapels. And I don't mind the color.&nbsp;<br />It's the floral print that I'm having trouble with, but then I am NOT a floral person. <br />As Angie said, I think this is expressing the part of your style that likes ditsy florals/ Liberty prints, and in that case, I think the rest of the structure of the piece will make it work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066533 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:28:46 +0000 Anonymous 1066533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just saw this -- haven't had much time to be on the forum today. I see it completely in line with your liberty floral love. Personally, I find the lapels distracting, but overall I can totally see why you pounced on it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066526 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:23:19 +0000 Aquamarine 1066526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok I'll be honest. I don't personally like it and to me it doesn't seem to blend in effortlessly with your style. It seems...I dunno....stiff? You wear fluid styles so well. But I'm just a newbie here so don't listen to me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066520 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:16:38 +0000 deb 1066520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the fit of the jacket but not the color. I think I would like it more if it was in black and white or some other dramatic color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066519 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:16:25 +0000 ManidipaM 1066519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Gaylene.</p> <p>But first response before reading ithers was that I liked the nixed media look with the pseudo texture. Same look, no bulk, vertical lines make you look 10dt tall. </p> <p>I have sugar eye for blue-greys and this type of floral, be warned. But maybe cultural... it's too faux-neutral for the prairie or quilting bee surely? Like, not colourful a la Raggedy Anns and Andies... </p> <p>Yes it is unexpected in your closet. But I think it makes for drama and not misfit-itude. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066518 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:14:58 +0000 ironkurtin 1066518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Ag, don't you know white goes with everything? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066509 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:07:34 +0000 annagybe 1066509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditzy floral is your secret Simon Doonan style. I think for me is how it's styled. White crewneck is not working. I think it needs a button down. Something more strict to play off the ditzy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066505 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:03:49 +0000 ironkurtin 1066505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I have to wonder why so few responses.&nbsp; Be honest!</p> <p>You're not responding because...<br />1) the post fell off the front page so fast.<br />2)&nbsp; You don't like it, and why be negative?<br />3) Angie likes it, so nuff said.<br />4) Angie likes it, and I don't want to contradict Angie.<br />5) The outfit is fine, what's to say?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066123 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 16:42:08 +0000 Gaylene 1066123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'm with Angie here because I think it's an interesting riff on the floral/patterned jacket trend. To my eye, the overall effect of this type of jacket really depends on who is wearing it and how it is worn. I get edgy, sophisticated urban on you as opposed to calico/patchwork country which, I think, could be the effect if it was worn by someone who was curvier with softer features or whose wardrobe inclined towards a girlier, more feminine look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066107 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 16:23:36 +0000 Diana 1066107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I think I'd have to see it in person because in your photo it looks denim colored but in the product photo it does not.&nbsp; In the end I'm just not fond of <i>denim colored things that aren't actually denim</i> ; I don't even like chambray if we're being honest. </p> <p>ETA: Might be poison eye though so feel free to disregard.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066101 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 16:17:49 +0000 ironkurtin 1066101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, the labels are dark blue with gray details, and the body is a sort of steel blue gray with dark blue details. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066098 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 16:13:24 +0000 Diana 1066098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dana, is yours grey as well?&nbsp; In your photos it looks <i>blue, </i>which I do not like because the combo of ditsy print and denimy colors together say country prairie calico to me.&nbsp; But I do like it in the grey, which is more urban and less country.&nbsp; In grey, the balance between sweet and edgy is excellent.&nbsp; </p> <p>(This is why I like my liberty prints in dark moody colorways too.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066085 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 16:05:38 +0000 catgirl 1066085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the grey and in this print, it's 90s-reminiscent and fits you well.&nbsp; I'm not in love with it personally because I find the two panels distracting.&nbsp; It's certainly not loud or Vegas, if that's your worry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066059 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 15:50:00 +0000 ironkurtin 1066059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang, Elvis is getting his butt kicked!</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.barneyswarehouse.com/laveer-printed-combo-montage-jacket-502589022.html?index=0&amp;q=laveer">http://www.barneyswarehouse.co.....8;q=laveer</a></p> <p>Honestly I never thought calico or quilts. &nbsp;But perhaps that is why it was on sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066058 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 15:49:35 +0000 Angie 1066058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Laveer jacket on you, Dana. It's in line with your occasional preference for ditsy florals, and in the right colours for your style. I vote 11 out of 10.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066050 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 15:45:05 +0000 Anonymous 1066050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a fan, it looks too patchwork like. I don't see any Elvis with all those little flowers I see more house on the prairie.&nbsp; I'm surprised you bought it, not even close to what I'm used to seeing on you. It could be cute on someone with a different style like I could see it on Elizabeth from Delightfully Tacky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweek8m-elvis-is-in-the-building#post-1066045 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 15:42:19 +0000 Amy 1066045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shape of the jacket and the darker colored sleeves and lapels. I don't care much for that floral print, though. </p> <p>Every wardrobe needs a couple of outliers for days when you want a little more pizazz, so if you like it, rock on. </p>
