The top actually intrigues me more. I really like the black piece. The sleeves do concern me especially if they are that Zara "poplin" that seems to wrinkle from the wind.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778587 Wed, 15 Feb 2017 01:49:17 +0000 Janet 1778587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of this feedback has been really helpful -- thank you!</p> <p>Well, it's been 24 hours and I've had a few things going on today, including errands that took me right by the mall. I actually sat outside of the bank (where I had some business), and thought about going back in to buy one or both of those items. But I just didn't feel that motivated. I went for a run instead. </p> <p>So we'll see if the urge hits me over the next couple of days. I'm not feeling like I MUST have them. Which is in a way liberating. I'll keep you posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778579 Wed, 15 Feb 2017 00:55:25 +0000 Anonymous 1778579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am I being a pill by throwing a cautious voice out there for both pieces? &nbsp; &nbsp;I love a bomber as much as the next person , and I bought a long one too, which I have worn a few times and am never quite sure I like it. I may be projecting my own unease to this one though. &nbsp;There is a lot going on with the print, the red lining and the striped band, which I know is all trend and such, but it doesn't have a real luxe look to it somehow. &nbsp; I dunno. Maybe I should be quiet. &nbsp;And I can't say I am a huge fan of the top. &nbsp;It's interesting, but doesn't look "right" , as mentioned by others, and I wonder how easy it would be to wear without having to adjust and fiddle with the black part. &nbsp;I've seen you look so fantastic in so many things, and neither of these are giving me that vibe. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778576 Wed, 15 Feb 2017 00:42:50 +0000 Echo 1778576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I very much like the jacket, especially the longer length on a bomber style.</p> <p>The top I saw the same way as Angie. I did not realize the gathers were intentional, and it looks more like it is bunching and ill-fitting. Despite the gathering being intentional, I wonder how many people could tell that while it was being worn and would instead think the same as I did when I first saw it. I love the idea of the top, but not the execution on this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778561 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 23:43:37 +0000 Sal 1778561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a cautious yes on the jacket...I think it is a fun layering piece and certainly fits in well with maximal dressing. &nbsp;The fabric weight looks perfect for my climate - not sure about yours.</p> <p>I am a cautious no on the top. &nbsp;I want to like it, but I feel it would be very hard to wear, and I am not sure if the white fabric flows enough. &nbsp;I struggle with tops that end like this too at the hem.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778559 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 23:32:45 +0000 Mochi 1778559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore that jacket. So you.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the shirt, I am guessing that it's the black detailing that caught your eye and fits your mod, unique aesthetic. I feel like it doesn't really mesh with the sleeves....it's a strange (not in a good way) juxtaposition. It's not way off, just not up to your usual awesome standards IMO.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778472 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 18:08:57 +0000 Momo 1778472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the top a lot. It is unusual.<br /> Jacket is awesome. Does it have a red lining? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778427 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 16:24:11 +0000 Glory 1778427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look stunning in the jacket. I hope you get it - I can see it working so well with a casual lifestyle but also a bit artsy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778376 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 14:41:31 +0000 Sara L. 1778376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the long jacket but am ambivalent about the shirt. &nbsp;I like the color blocked front, but I don't really like the sleeves. I would have thought it wouldn't look good with a large bust, but it's great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778373 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 14:32:43 +0000 Ledonna N. 1778373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both specifically the jacket because of the length and look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778364 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 13:59:54 +0000 Suz 1778364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket. Really fun.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm torn on the top. I feel a bit like Robin. I can tell the gathers are deliberate but I'm not sure about them. Still, if the price is right, what's the harm in the experiment? A question, though -- would you wear with a topper, and if so, which one? Might be useful to experiment with that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778355 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 13:24:58 +0000 RobinF 1778355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jacket. I'm a little torn about the top. I agree that the gathers are awkward. I can tell that they're deliberate but still just kind of weird. I do like the cuffs though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778346 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 12:10:27 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1778346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket.....not so much the top </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778325 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 10:20:16 +0000 Style Fan 1778325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket.&nbsp; It looks fantastic on you and fits in with your wardrobe.&nbsp; The top is very interesting and has Approprio written all over it.&nbsp; Somehow it looks bunchy in the pictures. IRL it might be different.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778320 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 10:09:04 +0000 approprio 1778320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to say how right you are about the colour blocked top. It's giving me ideas. The jacket is fab too.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>RT:</b> I have that very problem with striped tees. They usually go in with the whites.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778145 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 21:58:49 +0000 RoseandJoan 1778145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket Janet.</p> <p>The colour blocked curve is very flattering and unusual. I have issues with colour blocked items lying at the bottom of the washing basket, I never know which load it belongs to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778142 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 21:54:31 +0000 rachylou 1778142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are great. The top is really creative and the long bomber infinitely wearable.</p> <p>Will look at Zara for sleeves! Thx for the tip off </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778141 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 21:51:45 +0000 amiable 1778141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778139 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 21:46:48 +0000 Janet 1778139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, what looks like bunching is actually an intentionally gathered sleeve -- they gathered the fabric on bottom rather than the top (which I kind of like because I don't like traditional puffed sleeves!). </p> <p>Thanks for the feedback! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778135 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 21:40:26 +0000 Angie 1778135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And there's the garden floral "crane" trend in action. LOVE it on you, Janet. Get the jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the idea of the white and black top, but don't fancy the bunching under your arm.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778134 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 21:37:18 +0000 deb 1778134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, I like the white and black top and think it would work with the rest of your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-try-ons-and-a-note-for-rachylou#post-1778115 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 21:27:52 +0000 Janet 1778115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went to the mall to make a return and decided to take a quick look in Zara. Rachylou, look at Zara for some interesting sleeve details! I noticed you mentioned you were on the lookout for interesting sleeves.</p> <p>I found myself drawn to these pieces and decided to try them on. I left them behind but am curious what you all think, whether they are worth a spot in my newly thinned-out closet. They're both unusual pieces but budget friendly. I don't have anything like these pieces. I'm not on a shopping ban, but I am slowing my roll, so I don't want to buy anything stupid. ;-)</p> <p>First, the long crane print bomber. Yes, another jacket. But it's long, it suits my casual life and layers well, I love the print, and I am now a convert to long jackets. I like it a lot. More than I expected to. It fits when I zip it up but I doubt I would wear it that way. I love the red lining too.</p> <p>Next, this mixed media white and black top. I like this on me more than I expected to. It kind of reminds me of something Approprio would make, which is very appealing to me. Oddly, it works better on my large chest than I expected.</p> <p>What say you, YLF hive mind? </p>
