I have that exact same moto jacket and I am really excited to try what you have done with it; I haven't seen this before and it is really up my alley. I kind of like it with the drama of the extra black scarf and the long cardi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1116-wiw-inspired-by#post-252534 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 22:23:43 +0000 annagybe 252534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd lose the black scarf. Too much going around the neck and front. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1116-wiw-inspired-by#post-252479 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 20:04:17 +0000 Scarlet 252479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to see your teal sweater with that jacket. With the outfit as is, somehow I am thinking that either the sweater needs to be shorter or the sweater should stay the same and the jacket should be a little more cropped. In any case your adorableness shines through as always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1116-wiw-inspired-by#post-252318 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 15:27:07 +0000 rute 252318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look! Perfect layers for the winter! I agree the cardi could be shorter but it's great! AJ.. you always manage to make things work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1116-wiw-inspired-by#post-252232 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 10:05:08 +0000 Louise 252232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've always avoided long cardi and short jackets together but this looks great, another one I shall be copying x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1116-wiw-inspired-by#post-252203 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 06:39:10 +0000 AJ 252203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A white tee did cross my mind, but I think white would further emphasize my apple bits, so I think I need it to be as dark or darker than the cardi. : )</p> <p>I look forward to seeing your version of this look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1116-wiw-inspired-by#post-252201 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 06:33:46 +0000 MsMary 252201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, it's the black scarf. My monitor is playing tricks on me!</p> <p>Carry on...</p> <p>And YES!!! The teal cardi with that jacket will be KILLER!! How about with a white tee like Jen? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1116-wiw-inspired-by#post-252199 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 06:32:20 +0000 AJ 252199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! The draped cardi is shorter in the back by 9 inches, but it is a bit full like Sparky mentioned which is throwing off the sleekness factor. </p> <p>I don't mind that the jacket is not the same tone as the cardi, but I will try this again with my other draped cardis to see if I can get the length proportions right.</p> <p>Ooohhh, what do you think about trying it with my teal blue cardi? Not sure what color tee or top to wear inside the cardi....maybe the same teal blue?</p> <p>MaryK - The cardi has a subtle stripe and in addition, I have a long, thin, black knit scarf around my neck. I'm not sure about the blue that you are seeing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1116-wiw-inspired-by#post-252189 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 06:02:35 +0000 MsMary 252189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course it counts for the challenge!! </p> <p>Is that a scarf on top of the cardi, or is the cardi two-tone? I love the gray sweater and cognac jacket -- the only thing that's throwing me a little is the bit of dark blue around the neck. </p> <p>And I am totally going to copy this look myself some time before Thanksgiving! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1116-wiw-inspired-by#post-252134 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 03:26:36 +0000 Sparky 252134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, I love the outfit. I think it would work even better with a cardi that is not quite as long and full as this one. You could also try a jacket color that blends more with the color of the cardi and jeans for more of a tone-on-tone look (although I do like grays and browns together). I think the contrast the jacket's color brings to this outfit may be throwing it off a teeny bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1116-wiw-inspired-by#post-252128 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 03:08:15 +0000 Lisa 252128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow this is really close to the look. I agree with others, if the cardi were a tad shorter, would be even better. You are so creative and daring, love that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1116-wiw-inspired-by#post-252115 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 02:51:16 +0000 Tricia 252115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea and it's reaaaallly close to working, but I agree it would be even better if the cardigan was just a bit shorter. I love how willing you are to try new things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1116-wiw-inspired-by#post-252114 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 02:49:45 +0000 Beth 252114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it, AJ! I like the mix of textures, colors and lengths. Nice:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1116-wiw-inspired-by#post-252085 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 01:54:21 +0000 Kristine 252085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally, I love this! I agree with Palm, maybe a little shorter with the cardigan but it works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1116-wiw-inspired-by#post-252079 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 01:46:48 +0000 Jonesy 252079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colors, and it's certainly visually interesting. The cardigan almost looks like a very big, cozy scarf...overall, I like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1116-wiw-inspired-by#post-252028 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 00:32:22 +0000 PalmFronds 252028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ you just have some of the wickedest style I have ever seen Really inspiring!<br /> Love the idea of it.I think your cardigan is just a *touch* long under the jacket, but the overall look is great--edgy and cozy at the same time </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1116-wiw-inspired-by#post-251945 Tue, 16 Nov 2010 22:09:37 +0000 AJ 251945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jennifer Aniston </p> <p>I was inspired by the way she wore a draped cardi under her moto jacket:<br /> <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://frillr.com/files/images/Jennifer%2520Aniston%2520wearing%2520Burberry%2520arriving%2520at%2520Heathrow%2520airport%2520in%2520London,%2520November%25202009.preview.jpg&#038;imgrefurl=http://frillr.com/%3Fq%3Dnode/17058&#038;usg=__hZPr9FbNPCMiDGOMH0rfmdk_k9Y=&#038;h=640&#038;w=427&#038;sz=43&#038;hl=en&#038;start=23&#038;zoom=1&#038;tbnid=kiHGErUzIbLBsM:&#038;tbnh=166&#038;tbnw=111&#038;prev=/images%3Fq%3Djennifer%2Baniston%2Bstyle%2Bphotos%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox%26rlz%3D1I7ACGW%26biw%3D1188%26bih%3D648%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C717&#038;um=1&#038;itbs=1&#038;iact=hc&#038;vpx=253&#038;vpy=215&#038;dur=7120&#038;hovh=275&#038;hovw=183&#038;tx=98&#038;ty=98&#038;ei=qf7iTKSeN8eDngek9_TXDg&#038;oei=o_7iTNb9LoK0lQfPkMGFDg&#038;esq=2&#038;page=2&#038;ndsp=22&#038;ved=1t:429,r:15,s:23&#038;biw=1188&#038;bih=648" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/imgres?i.....38;bih=648</a></p> <p>So here is my version:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wearabouts_town/5182948732/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/w.....182948732/</a></p> <p>Do the proportions work?<br /> Excuse the non-fab shoes.
