The jacket looks a bit&nbsp;more dated (sorry) than vintage maybe due to the collar and it seems a bit big.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yea-or-nay-vintage-cropped-jacket#post-1092890 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 05:48:09 +0000 catgirl 1092890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, seeing these on the big screen now, the armpit area looks a little big to me.&nbsp; I know you are petite so perhaps that's the issue? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yea-or-nay-vintage-cropped-jacket#post-1092867 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 04:34:04 +0000 Mia 1092867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these type of jackets but they can be a challenge to wear in a modern way. &nbsp;The collar is so "sweet" that I'd try something "tough". &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Having said that I think #2 is a great run around look with some flats. Your cat is adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yea-or-nay-vintage-cropped-jacket#post-1092865 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 04:33:36 +0000 Gigi 1092865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color, and I don't mind the collar. My only comment is that it looks a little big in the armpit area--or is that just the boxiness? I guess I would say that if it fits you like it's supposed to fit, I would keep it. I have very little knowledge of retro fashion, so take my comment for what it's worth! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yea-or-nay-vintage-cropped-jacket#post-1092777 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 03:06:16 +0000 MuseumGal 1092777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's an amazing jacket and it fits you beautifully.&nbsp; I'd throw it on over a jeans and a tank or a T or a turtleneck and call myself fabulous for days.&nbsp; I vote Keep it and rock it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yea-or-nay-vintage-cropped-jacket#post-1092752 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:56:32 +0000 Jaime 1092752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it but sort of want to see it over a sheath dress - I love the Jackie O association and maybe I am being too literal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yea-or-nay-vintage-cropped-jacket#post-1092743 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:53:14 +0000 catgirl 1092743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I think your hair and maybe some cheeky shoes would give it some non-costume sass. For me some vintage items are best worn the way they were meant. You could modernize a 60s suede mini-skirt but this jacket seems more challenging. Jeans, white t, pearls and wedge sneakers? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yea-or-nay-vintage-cropped-jacket#post-1092734 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:49:45 +0000 Tricia 1092734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you think? I don't go full-on vintage because I feel like I'm wearing a costume. I was trying to mix it up a bit...</p> <p>I certainly have enough pillbox hats in my inventory closet to choose from though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yea-or-nay-vintage-cropped-jacket#post-1092721 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:44:05 +0000 catgirl 1092721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this needs to be worn all out, like with pillbox hat and Boucle skirt in a wink-wink way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yea-or-nay-vintage-cropped-jacket#post-1092703 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:36:19 +0000 Kristin L 1092703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure about the collar either, but it looks like a great jacket. What about trying it with a skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yea-or-nay-vintage-cropped-jacket#post-1092699 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:34:39 +0000 unfrumped 1092699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a great tomato color but I'm also not a fan of the collar on you. I think it can be a vintage piece that looks more dated than fun. However, I am not a keen observer or practitioner of combining vintage with modern style, so I may be all wet and ultimately it's up to you. I'm not sure I know what I should look for vs. just reacting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yea-or-nay-vintage-cropped-jacket#post-1092692 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:30:27 +0000 Tricia 1092692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, Thistle - in my world, looking like Jackie O is a feature not a bug!</p> <p>I don't always go for that look, but it is one that I like to play with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yea-or-nay-vintage-cropped-jacket#post-1092685 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:23:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1092685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is such a pretty color and the fit is lovely. Unfortunately I have a bit of a poison eye for this type of collar so I'm not sure of the overall style as a result.</p> <p>How fab about your Etsy store! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yea-or-nay-vintage-cropped-jacket#post-1092684 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:22:04 +0000 Thistle 1092684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have such a hard time with vintage. It reminds me of Jackie O! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yea-or-nay-vintage-cropped-jacket#post-1092683 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:18:19 +0000 minimalist 1092683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on your shop! What a fun endeavor.</p> <p>I don't know enough about your style to vote on the jacket. It's cute, for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yea-or-nay-vintage-cropped-jacket#post-1092679 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:13:48 +0000 Tricia 1092679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I picked up this adorable red vintage jacket recently, and am wondering if I should keep it. (Background: I can't remember if I told you guys this, but after we moved and I started working from home, I started going to estate sales, and eventually opened an Etsy store for all my vintage clothing and accessory finds. It's not replacing a full-time job, but I am making a little money, actually! And it's amazingly fun.)</p> <p>Anyway, a friend had a bunch of vintage stuff she needed to purge and asked me to sell it for her in my shop, but when I found this little jacket in the pile I had to keep it. It's cut to be boxy, but was a little large on me, so I had the sides taken in a bit without changing the boxiness of the cut. It has a really cute Peter Pan collar, and the buttons are purely decorative - it's not meant to close.</p> <p>Here are a few attempted stylings - tell me if you think the jacket works. If not, no great loss - I paid my friend $8 for it and if it's a Nay, I can put it in the shop.</p> <p>1: With dark wash skinnies and a new white tank with black lace overlay. I'd probably wear my black booties or black ballet flats.</p> <p>2. Same skinnies, different top - graphic layering top in a silky, slightly stretchy material.&nbsp;</p> <p>3. With my new bootcuts and the same graphic top. Again, I guess I'd wear my black booties with this.</p> <p>I might bring back one of these layering tops, too - which one do you like better? </p> <p>And finally, if this is a yes, any ideas on other ways to style it?</p>
