Have you checked out the offerings at Club Monaco lately? Or the Bay? Wonder if there would be something there... &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-love-recommendations-for#post-1377182 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 19:55:49 +0000 Angie 1377182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TTS. The AT tux jacket&nbsp;looks absolutely killer stunning on both Inge and Debbie. One is tall and the other petite. AMAZING.&nbsp;It's a magical jacket that is beautifully made and very versatile. That's why it was a top pick. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-love-recommendations-for#post-1377152 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 18:51:28 +0000 Debbie 1377152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon-the jacket fits true to size. That awful about the taxes and duties though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-love-recommendations-for#post-1377151 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 18:51:27 +0000 annabelle 1377151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have links or finds&nbsp;for you for petites, Shannon, but stylewise, have you considered one of the recent moto-jacket cuts in a knit? Helmut Lang, Bb Dakota and Vince all have them in regular misses sizes, which you could google (or shopbop) for inspiration. I think in a dark grey or black, the leaner lined ones could absolutely work for either a more formal ("blazer") or business casual environment. &nbsp;And on a petite frame, the minimal ornamentation and doodads on a knit jacket (vs a leather) will not overwhelm your frame. Let us know what you end up with!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-love-recommendations-for#post-1377086 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 17:07:27 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1377086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, don't know if you've tried any Kut skinnies, but I'm a 10 in trousers in general or ~29 (Joes and Gap) in most skinnies and a 4 in Kut Mia or Diana! My biggest fit issue is that I have muscular thighs and calves so skinnies aren't skinny on my knees and ankles. Kuts are my best fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-love-recommendations-for#post-1377073 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 16:22:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1377073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WHOA....holy crap! Their shipping might be reasonable but the duties/taxes add $62.93 to the cost of the jacket. And if it doesn't fit, I don't get any of that back plus have to pay return shipping...gotta think on that. It's the Nordstrom issue all over again </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-love-recommendations-for#post-1377070 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 16:15:11 +0000 catgirl 1377070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They ship to Canada but not Alaska?! Grrrr.... Happy for you though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-love-recommendations-for#post-1377066 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 16:09:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1377066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Angie - I LOVE THAT JACKET!!! I adore the lower stance button and the leather detailing. And Ann Taylor ships to Canada for a very reasonable price :)&nbsp; So Angie, Inge and DebbieK (if you see this) - how is the sizing on this jacket. Would you say TTS? I saw one review that indicated a bit on the small side.</p> <p>Suz and Una - your choices are beautiful but sadly neither are available in petite.</p> <p>Dashielle - thanks for the Kut Mia recommendation - how do you find the fit?</p> <p>Thanks ladies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-love-recommendations-for#post-1377056 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 15:53:27 +0000 Inge 1377056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also going to suggest the AT tuxedo blazer, Shannon. (you could be triplets with DebbieK - who looks fantastic in the petite version - and me;-)<br />Keep us posted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-love-recommendations-for#post-1377037 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 15:23:12 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1377037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't help on the blazer, but will follow with interest as am looking too. Re. White jeans, Kut Mias get my vote. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-love-recommendations-for#post-1377019 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 14:53:17 +0000 catgirl 1377019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's a nice one:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/trouve-seam-detail-blazer/3875100?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=3514&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_10_D" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/tr.....#038;conte</a> </p> <p>I like the back.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-love-recommendations-for#post-1377015 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 14:51:39 +0000 Suz 1377015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And Ummlila and I both have this one. I am not sure if it does come in petite, though. But I like this jacket especially with a tube skirt or sheath.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-love-recommendations-for#post-1376994 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 14:41:23 +0000 Ingunn 1376994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful, Angie! Now I want it, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-love-recommendations-for#post-1376987 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 14:35:45 +0000 Angie 1376987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would start with this one:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-love-recommendations-for#post-1376944 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 13:42:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1376944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would you lovely Fabbers like to help me find a black blazer? Now I have my black blazer from my skirt suit but it is a very classic, basic blazer. Love it. But I would like to also add to my wardrobe an edgier black blazer/jacket. My needs in this jacket include:</p> <ul> <li>Available in petite sizing</li> <li>Fully lined</li> <li>Not too thick or heavy (not boucle or heavy wool)</li> <li>Lighter weight if possible but not summer fabric like linen</li> <li>An edgier detail such as mixed media, zippers, angular shape - something that sets it apart from a typical black blazer</li> <li>Able to work with both pants and skirts</li> <li>Not drapey - a more crisp sensibility</li> <li>Would also consider a dark charcoal grey</li> </ul> <p>Any suggestions my wise friends? :)</p> <p>On another note, would love suggestions for skinny white jeans for fall/winter that I can tuck into boots. Yes Angie - you have TOTALLY converted me into a white jeans lover, even in winter </p>
