Another try with Bebe... Anyone going to Danier?

March 24, 2013
I wanted to try my way to jack it 1 more time with long sleeves and the zipper undone for work. Sadly, I am clammy as ever. So sad because I got lots of compliments on the jacket again today. I spoke with Danier about the leather jacket I posted yesterday, but they could not tell me about the shoulder measurements or lining material. I don't want to send anyone out of their way, but if anyone is headed to the store, maybe you would be able to check on this item for me? It is style 104020169. http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....his-jacket I would love you forever! ;)

    Has anyone gone yet for you, Rae? I will gladly go when I get back to Canada! 
  • Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago
    I can go tomorrow evening for you Rae. Let me know exactly what you need checked on the jacket.

    Thanks so much, ladies!! Danier was helpful, but Customer Service wasn't familiar with the exact jacket. I was looking for measurements in either a 2XS or XS (leaning toward 2XS based on size chart): 
    • Straight across from shoulder seam to shoulder seam
    • Across bust from armpit to armpit
    • Type of fabric used for lining. 
    I also realize that not every store is going to have this exact jacket, so I totally understand if this is impossible... I was just full-on drenched in sweat by the end of the day today. :(

    Rae it's such a shame about this jacket, because it does look great.  This outfit is stunning.
  • Day Vies replied 11 years ago
    I don't have the words words to describe how chic this is!  I can't even begin to copy -- I don't have that Rae-ness to pull this off. Gorgeous! 
  • Elizabeth P replied 11 years ago
    I will check for you tomorrow Rae, if I get to the store... And if they have it of course. .

    So sorry it made you sweaty!  You look s fab in it, though!  I can see why you get so many compliments. It is a fab, and oh so Rae, piece that you pull off with such panache!
  • Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago
    I'll check my store tomorrow evening Rae. I happen to be going there anyway to ... ahem... check out something anyway.
  • rae replied 11 years ago
    Thank you both so, so much! The jacket comes in purple and green as well, so hopefully there will be my size in at least one color. You are the best!

    I have the same dress in a creamy colour with black stripes and I love it! So figure flattering. Looks great on you 
  • lyn67 replied 11 years ago
     I cannot be of your help, but wow! What a fab combo!

    I have to go later this week to return a jacket I bought for my husband (he is not ready to switch to YLF standards yet, despite his fairly great fashion sense!) - let me know if the others weren't able to get the measurements and I'll look for you at my store.

    Fab outfit by the way.  Fab!
  • Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago
    Rae - I called all the Danier stores in my home town and none of them have this jacket at all, nevermind in your requested size. Completely sold out :(  Sorry honey - I tried!

    Calling all other Canadian fabbers - can you find Rae's jacket???
  • Sarah A replied 11 years ago
    Rae -- I hope one of the other Canadian gal's can find your leather jacket to measure b/c this out fit is all kinds of great. Yuck for uncomfortable pleather :(
  • Diana replied 11 years ago
    I really hope someone can find the Danier jacket for you... because this one looks so fab with the dress, but being sweaty is not so fab...
  • Elizabeth P replied 11 years ago
    Looks like it'll be tomorrow night before I get there Rae.

I'm just your average working stiff who loves nice things and hates to pay for them. This blog outlines my efforts to navigate that treacherous shopping/saving divide through swappin', thriftin', and even a little resellin'. Many of the pieces in my wardrobe cost me just $1! We've heard a lot about people "living above their means" in recent years; I'm championing the concept of living large *below* your means - whatever that means for you. :)
