Yes or No?

To be honest, I would just try another jacket jevna. The button stance is way too high giving the flare at the bottom and tightness of the chest. I think a small would look to big, this one could fit if the buttons hit at a different place. I would try a jacket with a lower button stance so that it comes in at the skinniest part of your body.

Thanks guys for all the suggestions, really appreciated!

A longer jacket will be too long for a proper dressy look, but given the slouchy shape of the pockets and the softer fabric of the jacket, I suspect you can get away with more length.

And, either way, more length will be far more flattering than pulling across the middle. The xs is unkind to you.

I shall prove you wrong, my friend.

This reminds me - after seeing your WAYWT, I meant to advise you to try the threader jacket with a solid black shirt. In the picture the contrast between the stripy shirt peeking out from the bottom seemed a little too stark.

so i finally got the m.a+ armwarmers in mail last week. these have been a long time holy grails since i saw 'em on some japanese website. however, it is a bit tight on my tennis playing (aka fat) right arm even tho on my left arm it is a perfect fit. well, not too tight, but not a loose fit which i am looking for. i know it would stretch out but for such a thing i am not quite fond of a tight fit at all. besides sister says these are too girly ( i wondered if that meant she liked 'em but no).

well it looks alright worn under coat sleeves but for such a piece im def expecting more then that. i dunno. they look fantastic on some girl i saw in a vid, but im becoming confused when it comes to male after owning 'em ...

mine do get quite a bit of attention when noticed. funny people quite often ask to try them on which im a bit like hmmm sorry 'no' your arms are a bit big for them. Yes they will stretch out over time when i wear them now they are looser than when i first got them which i don't mind at all.
These days now its getting cold i wear gloves underneath and let the armwarmers kinda bunch up at my sleeve to keep me all warm and the cold out
they're a great piece, i would just give them time
if you like them does it really matter what your sister thinks

thanks. i def liked 'em a lot when seeing 'em on some girl, but not so much on myself.... i think i was amazed when they looked very loose and stacked well on her.

[snafu]

yeh the l'eclaireur vid thats pretty much how they are on me but i never wear them how she does

Yes/no - luc screened scarf?

[BECOMING-INTENSE]

yes, Mr. ddohnggo, if you're referring to the one on Pollyanna!

I have been looking for a pair of balmoral boots for a while now. This pair from Alexander McQueen is the perfect shape and has all the details I want, including the 2 tone black and olive. I wouldn't question picking them up but the addition of a rear lace makes me think twice.


Yes or No?

[Faust]

Looks good to me, who. I understand your hesitation though, it is a bit of a corset look with the ties in the back. Can you return them? Maybe worth a try.

[Faust]

Speaking of boots, Yes or No? I love them in theory, what gives me pause is that they are 1) brown 2) tall and I am pretty short.

they are not my favorite... being that they are brown how often would you wear them? i think you can find something that you will be more attached to.

[Chinorlz]

agree with Kira on this one... the wrap lacing as well kind of throws the whole thing off. Doesn't seem to match the look you rock on the regular Faust :)
