Angie, as for a longer layering top... I'll see what I've got and play around with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cascading-cardigan#post-68619 Sat, 30 May 2009 22:03:11 +0000 Angie 68619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! This gets better and better. Add a longer layering top and you're TOTALLY in business. Do you have one? Love your cascading hair, LE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cascading-cardigan#post-68589 Sat, 30 May 2009 17:19:14 +0000 Chris 68589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it better over the graphic t and with skinnies. Plus I love your shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cascading-cardigan#post-68519 Sat, 30 May 2009 05:38:38 +0000 yublocka 68519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it with the cardie!! Both with and without the belt under the cardie looks good to me!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cascading-cardigan#post-68512 Sat, 30 May 2009 05:01:23 +0000 Anonymous 68512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the compliments! I'll try the skinny belt idea, Angie. I have one in my closet.</p> <p>I do feel it is a little short, and although not ideal, still workable. CCiele and Chris, I had the same thought of using a different length and structure of top altogether with it.</p> <p>I'm heading to a midnight showing of UP with some of the students I work with. A cardigan over a light top with jeans and flats (and a handbag that has short enough handles that it won't touch the sticky ground when I hang it on the armrest!) is my uniform for movie theatres. I thought I'd try working with this cardigan over a graphic tee - it's casual, but what do you think? Hit or miss?</p> <p>Forgive the smug face and poor lighting. Ah, my camera's timer is unpredictable, and light was fading fast!!<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tall1inart/3577130625/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/t.....577130625/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cascading-cardigan#post-68482 Sat, 30 May 2009 02:01:46 +0000 Chris 68482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just saw that cardi on BR site today. Like it! Length is close - wonder if the tall would be too overwhelming? Color is wonderful on you! </p> <p>I think I would like the sweater over a less structured blouse - have you tried it over anything else? I like it with the shorts though and you could rock a pencil skirt with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cascading-cardigan#post-68435 Fri, 29 May 2009 18:23:56 +0000 cciele 68435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty shades of blue! I also like the outfit better with the wide belt; there was too much going on with the blouse and the tie. I'd play with the proportions of top length and cardi length -- the cascading cardigan looks cute on you and has potential! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cascading-cardigan#post-68404 Fri, 29 May 2009 16:01:03 +0000 Angie 68404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so statuesque, LE! Good to see you post pics again. And the hair is getting really long. Pretty. I like it tied back too. </p> <p>Love the blue neck-tie blouse! Try a skinny little black belt perhaps? It looks fab unbelted so no belt worries for you.</p> <p>LOVE the concept of the cascading cardi. Do think it would be best longer though. However, it’s not jarring. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cascading-cardigan#post-68398 Fri, 29 May 2009 15:38:01 +0000 Anonymous 68398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, here's a photo without the belt: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tall1inart/3576326194/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/t.....576326194/</a></p> <p>I'm still figuring out when to use a belt - I put it on because I was wearing all solid colors and wanted to visually break things up - I guess that's not the best option! :)</p> <p>I would *love* to try a vest, but I am on a shopping ban until I get another job! It is on my list of things to purchase, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cascading-cardigan#post-68376 Fri, 29 May 2009 14:21:20 +0000 Laura 68376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the cascading cardi - great color on you. Maybe it could be a little longer? I tend to agree with Shiny on the belt, and trying the blouse with a vest. That would be really cute. There's a lot of shine going on with the blouse and the belt.</p> <p>No, there is not too much volume here with the hair, etc. In fact I think the loose hair looks fab with the cardi. It all flows together well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cascading-cardigan#post-68374 Fri, 29 May 2009 13:58:22 +0000 shiny 68374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have that same blouse, but in purple! I love that shade of blue on you! </p> <p>Hmm... I'm thinking lose the belt. I don't think you need it with this look and I fear since it's dark it is chopping you up into pieces. I don't think this blouse needs a belt anyway; it is gracefully cut to create a waist already. (Also looks great tucked into a pencil skirt, but I digress!)</p> <p>I think the loose hair looks just fine. </p> <p>As for the length of the cardi, I have no clue ... will let someone else rule on that. But I like the idea of this: voluminous on top and skinny on bottom with the clams. Can you take another pic without the belt? </p> <p>P.s. have you tried wearing a vest over this blouse yet? It's really cute with a vest and the sleeves puffing out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cascading-cardigan#post-68373 Fri, 29 May 2009 13:47:13 +0000 Anonymous 68373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bump! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cascading-cardigan#post-68310 Fri, 29 May 2009 02:51:10 +0000 Anonymous 68310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello everyone! I have a few questions about the cardigans Angie posted about today. My MIL bought this cascading cardigan at BR for me a few weeks ago when she was visiting. I like playing with it since it has some volume; most of my clothing is fairly fitted. </p> <p>Just my blouse/belt: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tall1inart/3575075824/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/t.....575075824/</a><br /> With the cardigan: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tall1inart/3575075690/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/t.....otostream/</a></p> <p>Here are my questions:</p> <p>Is the volume of the cardigan, the tie in the blouse, and loose hair too much? I had my hair up most of the day because I thought it was all too "drapey," what do you think?</p> <p>Do you think the length is okay? Since the sleeves aren't full length, I thought I could get away with getting this in a regular size (as opposed to my usual tall sizes). </p> <p>Thanks so much for any input you have! </p>
