jackets on the hook


jackets on the hook, originally uploaded by wood & wool stool.

My anthropologie jacket is my favorite. No doubt! It was love at first sight. About the white dots & roses jacket I'm not fully convinced yet.

Doubt is never a good sign. The jacket is within the 'keep or return?' phase and I can still bring it back, so I ask you to give an honest Trinny & Susannah opinion.

I'm wondering wether I'm the only one having this 'problem' or it's just typical female insecurity.

    I think you can rock it. I would just keep the rest of your outfit simple so the jacket is definitely the point of interest.

    I ummed and ahhed over that very same jacket! Havn't got it yet, was still at the thinking stage, but I do love it. Has to be with old denim and boots to stop the 'twee' look though! KEEP IT!!!!!! xxx

    Take it back!you're instincts are right.It's too busy and fussy for you.You have a very natural beauty so thats why the first jacket suits you so well.

    I love the plain jacket, the ruffle is just the right touch. I have found that when I doubt clothes from the beginning, I just never do feel very comfortable in them. If you're not sure now, you probably won't end up loving it.

    If it doesn´t feel 100% right you should return it - thats my advise. (And no, your´e not alone with this problem.) :)

    oh ingrid, this made me smile, for indeed i am quite sure trinny and suzanne would have whipped away my dungarees and clogs never to be seen again! quite often i reflect on what they would make of me and my closet contents :)
    to be honest, i think you could wear a potato sack and still look stunning, but if you are not feeling it, then i'm thinking it is not to be... love at first sight is all one needs to know it is a perfectly perfect match :)
    and of course a chorus of angels is always a good sign too!

    Well well, you don't make it any easier for me... The score so far; Return is leading 4-6 (sigh) Although it's super fun to read the results of the international jury, this research is probably pointless...

    Ik vind hem erg leuk, en ik weet zeker dat je hem 'kan hebben'. Zit hij ook lekker? Dat is meestal ook wel een goede indicatie van of je iets wel of niet zal dragen. Twijfel plus niet praktisch/lekker zittend = niet doen. Maar beetje twijfel plus wel lekker zitten plus hele lieve roosjes = wel doen, vind ik! ;)

    Hee, ik kan niet meer als 'mezelf' inloggen om te reageren zie ik nu, alleen nog met google acount... Nieuwe policy?

    Hi, I think You should return it if you are still in doubt, that's not a good sign.

    But I came here to ask you something else. When in Florence last week a bought two Italian magazines. In one of them, the Hachette Home, was a stool that reminded me of yours, but I am not sure if it really is one of your stools.
    If it is, I thought you might wanted to know that it is in an Italian mag. Although you are probably quite used to being in international magazines by now. If not, you might also be interested. I wouldn't mind scanning the whole page for you, for now, I just posted the single picture on my blog.

    I'd like to see you in it with blue jeans and a red t-shirt, maybe a green or black scarf - before giving an opinion.

    Hoi,

    ik stuur je die scan hoor, maar pas over een paar daagjes want ik ben nauwelijks thuis deze week...
    Cool dat je in de casa facile komt, ik vond het een leuk blad!
    Groetjes,

    I know my comment comes rather late... but I have only recently stumbled upon your fantastic blog and store, which I absolutely LOVE!
    Every post I see touches my 'style buds' in some way or another and puts my own blogging skills to complete and utter shame..

    So back to the subject matter - I love love the Anthropologie Jacket, in fact when I saw it in your main 'fab boots' image, I thought I must get me one of those... However the Zara roses and dots jacket - well let me tell you.. I have the exact same one in my wardrobe, I have never worn it, although on the day of purchase was incredibly pleased with myself.. Doubt I agree is never a good sign, yet I cannot bear to get rid of it.. just in case? In case of what I'm still not certain... maybe one day will be the right day.. So what did you decide?

    Warm 'same same' thoughts,
