I think this may be the first time I have intentionally tried one of Angie's forumlas and it was fun. Thanks for your lovely comments.
I note that my sweater is oversized and Angie's is loose but still a closer fit which I think changes the look a bit. I found this to be a very comfortable outfit to wear while I was running around today. Thanks Anna re the pants, they are a ponte so they are 'substantial', however I think a more tailored pant would really be better. While I liked it, I am not sure I felt completely "me" in this.
I have posted an addition picture with a scarf hanging long at the front, and also how I have worn the sweater in the past. Given the oversize-ness of the sweater I think I still prefer a skinny leg under it. Even though the black pants are a slim straight leg there is too much volume on volume for my eye. The more tailored pants Angie was wearing in her post I think creates a somewhat sleeker look. For me it was the Oxfords that make this, otherwise I think it could have looked too bland on me.
JR & Sveta, I do hope you find your version of the sweater.
Lyn I think that a closer fitting sweater like Angie's would actually work quite well over a bootleg jean. It would create a different silhouette but I could see it working.
Kari, such a nice thing to say, thank you:)
Marley, what do you think of the other scarf? is this what you meant?
Lyn67, you are fashion forward and you didn't realise it. Hope you can pick up something similar.
