Please look at my new jacket and tell me if it's a keeper

My new jacket arrived yesterday here is a pic of me wearing it. Is it ok? I love the jacket but feel self conscious in it for some reason.

Please help, should I keep it or send it straight back?

Oh and ignore dreadful hair, just about to jump in the shower to try out my new fancy shampoo.

I'd send it back.

You need something with a stronger colour and better fitting. You have a great figure so go for a more fitted bottom half of the jacket. The sleeves look a bit baggy too and I'd go for a slimmer collar to make the most of your great figure.

Sorry.

Its lovely and probably very versatile, keep it Smile

I agree with worldgonecrazy - looks generally too big. Definitely need something "shrunken"/closer fitting.

cocolepew · 27/04/2012 09:37

Keep it its lovely, is it grey? If so where did you get it? Grin

Dropdeadfred · 27/04/2012 09:38

Nice jacket but not good fit for you - it looks like you have borrowed your oh's jacket. Sorry but you need something more fitted

NoMoreCakeOclock · 27/04/2012 09:39

That's my issue. I think I'd love it in a size smaller but out of stock online.

I think it looks big because of how you're standing holding the phone. It is snug when zipped up?

I like the design/detailing and the leather looks lovely and soft.

pictish · 27/04/2012 09:41

i think it looks like it fits fine - you need space to get a jumper under there on chilly days.

cocolepew · 27/04/2012 09:54

Tight leather jackets make you look like a WAG, where'd you get it op?

TooEasilyTempted · 27/04/2012 10:07

Nice jacket but looks too big on you.

NoMoreCakeOclock · 27/04/2012 10:20

Coco sorry my computer won't let me on mumsnet! On phone now. It's from m&co. It is putty, so soft and beautiful I want to love it but still not sure!

Agree lovely jacket but you could get away with a size smaller Smile

DinahMoHum · 27/04/2012 10:24

i like it on you. Could do with being a bit smaller, but it doesnt look too big. I think though, that if youre questioning it, a leather jacket is a bit of a big purchase to not be sure about

cocolepew · 27/04/2012 10:34

Thanks Smile it's lovely Envy

valiumredhead · 27/04/2012 11:04

Looks to big on you and doesn't show off your figure well enough - send it back!

valiumredhead · 27/04/2012 11:04

too

MerryMarigold · 27/04/2012 11:07

I don't like colour really (not sure who suits putty, possibly very pale skinned people with red hair), but I do like your curtains!!!

madammecholet · 27/04/2012 12:08

lol merrymarigold

monkeysmama · 27/04/2012 12:13

It's a lovely jacket but a size too big for spring wear imo. Massimo Dutti have some gorgeous leather jackets in atm and I've been impressed with one of mine from Zara too. That colour is lovely though. I have a similar one from Mint Velvet last year that I've worn loads.

noddyholder · 27/04/2012 12:14

I like it a lot

pickledsiblings · 27/04/2012 12:17

I think it is a bit big and a 'funny' length, could do with being a little shorter.

MerylStrop · 27/04/2012 12:19

it's too big

other than than i like

pickledsiblings · 27/04/2012 12:20

This one from Mint Velvet might be better as it is a little neater on the sleeves and at the neck.

Francagoestohollywood · 27/04/2012 12:20

I like it and it will allow you to wear a jumper under it, in case it's freezing
