If you've been following the dark brown boots and topper thread here:
https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....ts-dilemma
The conclusions are as follows:
Suz and K. Period were bang on the money about which brown topper I chose! Lisa and Bijou were dead right about why the boots went back! WELL DONE
- RL Coat went back because it was potentially itchy.
- RL Cream Teddy went back because it does not look sharp. I prefer my toppers to look polished, structured and sharp. Cosy teddy fabric is not for me, and also not sufficiently warm. Super cute on someone else!
- Bernardo Moto went back because it was too brown, and needed a tricky alteration.
- RL Bomber was by far the best. I jumped for joy when I unpacked it! I've wanted an iconically classic aviator/flight jacket for a long time. And who better to fill that wardrobe hole than my favourite American designer - Ralph Lauren. I fitted it on, and knew it was THE ONE. Gorgeous quality, perfect fit, super warm, and with all important oatmeal trim that breaks up the brown. It has a strong '80s vibe, which pulls at my heart strings. My long neck likes the high neckline.
Tried it with the brown Aquatalia boots, and felt like a fish out of water. Not happy. Too brown. Too dark. Too hard-edged. Put on my old cream Aquatalia boots instead, and began dancing in front of the mirror. Good sign!!! Boots are retuned. I need "soft and pretty" in my outfits.
Showed hubs Greg the options after I'd made my decision. Without question, he liked the RL bomber best too! Interestingly, he did not like the brown boots.
The colour of the bomber is like pic #1 in person. The rest of the pics are darker because of the light the moment I took the pics.
I LOVE MY NEW AVIATOR! It will work with sooooo much of my wardrobe. Can't wait to wear it
