K/R: Black Jacket and Jeans - YouLookFab Forum

I just bought this black jacket, I like the jacket but I dont know if I like it on me. I think it's the length. Also, I pulled these jeans out of the drawer (tags still on, bought 5 months ago) I have to stop emotional shopping, anyway..... The jeans are a little lose in the thigh but I'm used to wearing skinnies and straight legs lately. They are not my normal size I'm 28-29 in Joes and Paige (these are 30 in Vigross and I'm worried that they will stretch out after wear and then start falling off my butt (they fit OK in the waist but I dont have hips or a butt so things slip pretty easily). The shoes in the first pic were my favorite at one time but now I think they give me clown feet... I'm thinking donate pile for those.

Thoughts and comments always welcome, I've got thick skin I can take it! (also sorry for the messy hair, when I work from home that's code for Pajama Day).

First off, that shade of cobalt is gorgeous on you!

I like the fit of the jeans. They look comfortably and intentionally relaxed, not like you have the wrong size or anything.

The jacket I like unzipped and also the back view. When it's zipped up, something is bugging me ... does it feel tight to you?

I see what you mean about the length. Maybe it is at an in-between length for you -- would you like something more cropped or something longer?

It doesnt feel too tight because of the banded bottom, but I think it has something to do with it hitting me at the widest part of my body and making it look that much wider. I like the back view, and side view but full frontal it seems off. Is there a better way to pair it.. different shirt or jeans combo maybe?

I like the jeans, I don't think they are too big at all. The jacket I'm not so sure about. I have one that also hits me at about the same spot, and I have the same feeling about it - it just feels "off." I went for a denim jacket that was cropped (the AE distressed that Angie recommended) and I love it.

I like the jeans top and jacket on you. I like it most open. I think the cobalt its a lovely colour for you.

I think the jeans look great on you and the cobalt top is nice too. I am not sold on the jacket done up, but like it open... Will you be expecting it to keep you warm outside and need to be zipped?

I love the cobalt blue on you. The jeans look good to my eye, but how do they feel? I am also not sure how much spandex is in them or if they are known or stretching out. Perhaps someone else can answer on the brand.

i would return the jacket. I don't think it is good enough for you. The fit just isn't quite right.
