Re: Anyone purchase Colleen Lopez Today's Special?

Susan Louise:

 

We have the same chest measurement. I wear a S in Colleen's faux suede fringe jackets because they have lots of stretch and I had to go through trial and error at that!  In her faux leather moto jackets, I wear a Medium (outerwear). With this 100% cotton eyelet jacket I sized up to a Medium, to allow for shrinkage in washing. If it is too large I will return for a small. Keeping my fingers crossed. I know the sleeves are iffy, but I will probably wear them turned back at the cuffs. I ordered the fuschia. 

I sure wish HSN would include the cross back shoulder measurement in the garment measurement chart!

They sure are pushing it. Be glad when it's over.

Sick of tuning it and the same ol' grub.

I agree with kitcat51. That jacket is too short! I hate when the bottom piece hangs out under the top piece---just looks unkempt. That may be the trend and style but i don't see it attractive on any model. I am short, but a cut off top makes me look even shorter. I thinnk it look strange; like something is missing.

The colors are nice and it would have been a purchase for me, but I am not interested in the cut off, short look in anything.

Thought it was cute and different from wearing an eyelet blouse. The logo on all the buttons was the reason I didn’t purchase. Also wished buttons were color of jacket or more neutral.

@IlliniGirl88  -  I know it would be a pain to do, but could you switch out the buttons?  Also, no one can read what's written on the buttons to see the Colleen Lopez logo.

I really liked it, but just felt I didn't need it, so I passed. 

It was cute; those who got it, enjoy it!

As far as long sleeves.......Am I imagining this, but wasn't there a time, in the accessories world,  the availability of clear plastic arm garters?

 

So we could scrunch up sleeves that were too long.  Without regular rubber bands showing.

Re: Anyone purchase Colleen Lopez Today's Special?

I think they were called women's sleeve garters.

 

But, weren't some of them clear plastic, or did I just 'invent' them?

 

Now I'm thinking of those twisted long phone cords.......maybe not clear plastic, but maybe they are available in smaller round coils.......so we can use them to scrunch up our sleeves......

 

Oh, well........Just thinking out loud (again).

 

Have a wonderful, safe, comfortable week ahead.
