I think it makes your waist look tiny. Peplums are my un-waist's friend! But Megan is right, if YOU don't love it, you won't wear it much. One of the benefits I'm hoping my upcoming shopping sabbatical will bring is some clarity to some pieces I own that I think I should love - but don't. It does make me feel awesome to send clothes to peeps who will love them, rather like finding them better homes or partners. Maybe what this jacket needs is an amaze-ball brooch, or several. It's a lovely neutral.The Goodwill Fangirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845712888337339929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048950020104060920.post-90822401167703749702013-12-12T14:01:42.371-08:002013-12-12T14:01:42.371-08:00I think the jacket is a keeper IF you will wear it...I think the jacket is a keeper IF you will wear it outside of the challenge. That's usually how I decide on whether to keep something. Yeah, it's an adorable piece, it looks amazing on you - but are you gonna wear it? Sometimes I simply find something cute and interesting, but I never find myself grabbing it for one reason or another. Othertimes I restyle something and have that "HUH - why am I not wearing this" moment.Megan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169811757787686946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048950020104060920.post-73867783186485951032013-12-11T04:19:01.661-08:002013-12-11T04:19:01.661-08:00Wonderful outfit - and I second what Melanie and V...Wonderful outfit - and I second what Melanie and Val said, you can certainly still see your killer figurine and itty-bitty waist in it. I think this piece as a keeper. My first thought is that it would smashing with a classic pencil skirt, perhaps black, burgundy or a different (darker) shade of grey. It might work well over a fitted sheath dress, too - something classically feminine, but not cloyingly girly, to temper the borrowed-from-the-boys quality of the moto cardigan.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048950020104060920.post-42014208720529034302013-12-10T19:27:01.079-08:002013-12-10T19:27:01.079-08:00I think the cardi looks cute on you!

I think you need a tailored longer outer coat to wear with it though, IMHO.<br /><br />I hope the happy and calm feelings last. Blogging is a good outlet, not only to have a place to express yourself, but also to get perspective from other people.

How nice.<br /><br />I'd love to shop your closet. Mostly for sentimental reasons but also 'cause I like your taste. Of course size is an issue but some pieces can overcome that.Shybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263331247319768989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048950020104060920.post-42566868763706890302013-12-10T18:13:36.005-08:002013-12-10T18:13:36.005-08:00I like this piece.

Having said that...I don't wear ruffles like this for the same reason! I would rip those ruffles off if it's worth the time. I do like the jacket. Mixed messages?... I liked your piece at Bethie the Boo's.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06218727738029858422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048950020104060920.post-42555063225329590822013-12-10T15:10:20.923-08:002013-12-10T15:10:20.923-08:00I kind of like this piece.

It's not fantastic on you and the color is blah for you (my daughter is Korean so I'm really familiar with Asian coloring and what looks good--I'd KILL for it)<br />Glad to hear you are feeling better and graduation is soon to be hear!!
