I agree that it makes you look as if you are "mid-shrug". You are absolutely on the right track !!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zomg-alternative-leather-jacket-find#post-293559 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 03:53:54 +0000 catgirl 293559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Anne and Kate. Sorry! The shoulders look too high, like you are mid-shrug. I prefer the ASOS jacket for that reason. However, I think you might want to just keep looking until you find a real 10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zomg-alternative-leather-jacket-find#post-293558 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 03:53:12 +0000 Angie 293558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know this jacket well! It's great! I'm glad you are excited. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zomg-alternative-leather-jacket-find#post-293530 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 03:24:00 +0000 taylor 293530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boy, do I LOVE the taupe jacket!! Sounds like you do too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zomg-alternative-leather-jacket-find#post-293492 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 02:21:29 +0000 Kate 293492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfortunately, I'm with Anne. The strong shoulder makes you look uncomfortable to me, the high neckline isn't great, and it looks "off" when it's zipped up. I would save the $ for something that's absolutely perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zomg-alternative-leather-jacket-find#post-293490 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 02:17:10 +0000 Anonymous 293490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neither one of these strike me as "10s" ... the defined shoulders combined with the necklines shorten your neck and make your shoulders appear hunched up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zomg-alternative-leather-jacket-find#post-293488 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 02:14:57 +0000 Steph 293488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stephanie, I love the shape and fit of the taupe jacket. I do share your concern about the color--when I compare photos 2 and 3 I feel like the color of the scarf works better with your skin than the color of the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zomg-alternative-leather-jacket-find#post-293486 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 02:11:36 +0000 greenglove 293486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE!!! The new one is so unusual and looks great with jeans. I vote the taupe one- more flattering on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zomg-alternative-leather-jacket-find#post-293467 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 01:25:43 +0000 Stephanie 293467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually lean cool in my wardrobe, but I already have a black moto jacket. And I have enough warm colors to have plenty to wear this with (plus I like it with grey, which is my favorite neutral and the one I have the most of). I guess the question is whether the color looks good on me. I don't have anything this color except the PB blouse I'm wearing with the trousers. I have worn the heck out of that blouse this season, but I usually wear it with grey (which is on the known-okay-colors list). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zomg-alternative-leather-jacket-find#post-293466 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 01:24:34 +0000 annagybe 293466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely like the taupe one better. It fits much better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zomg-alternative-leather-jacket-find#post-293460 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 01:12:58 +0000 Sveta 293460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is one cool jacket, Stephanie. The only thing which bothers me is that the neckline comes too high on you even when it is open. I think you look better when you have a deeper neckline. Can you fold the lapels down?<br /> The color is very similar to my leather trench which I posted some weeks ago so of course I like it. If your coloring is warm it should work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zomg-alternative-leather-jacket-find#post-293453 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 00:47:45 +0000 Jenava 293453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whew, that thing is gorgeous, especially with grey in #3 and the dress in #4. And of course it's killer with simple jeans/tee/boots, too. It's got more structure than the ASOS one, so I think it looks more flattering. It also just looks more luxurious than the other one. But, will the color work in your wardrobe? Do you lean warm or cool?</p> <p>I would not do the scarf with it or zip as in #6 because it seems to come up really high on your neck already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zomg-alternative-leather-jacket-find#post-293425 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 23:21:36 +0000 Stephanie 293425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so sorry to overload the forum with all of my deliberating, but I just happened to stop in to Macy's on my way home from teaching a make-up class, and found another leather jacket that I think might work better. I like the quality better on this one than on the ASOS one (it's completely lined, for one thing) and I think the sharp shoulders are less dominating on my body. But I defer to you. Something I don't really like about these shoulder-padded jackets (both the BCBG and the ASOS) is that when I raise my arms, the shoulder pads move up too. </p> <p>This new jacket was rather spendy, shall we say, but it was much less spendy than it might have been (i.e. it was dramatically reduced--like $400+ off) and YLF is teaching me that it is worth splurging sometimes. What do you think? I have included a picture of the ASOS jacket too, for comparison. I think I'd prefer to keep only one.</p> <p>I'm sorry I look so awful--just got home from hours commuting through snow but couldn't wait to try some outfits (just a few possibilities) and get some feedback! Thank you!</p> <p>PS. I have never typed "OMG" before, but I am that excited </p>
