It doesn't look too short to me, but maybe when you do an arm raise test? There's nothing worse than reaching for something on a shelf at the office, only to inadvertently expose my midriff thanks to a too short shirt! Been there, done that! Now I always do the reach test </p> <p>#7 is a super cool look and I love your Easter finery! </p> <p>As a knitter I really love that you wear your hand knits! I love the process, but rarely wear my own creations! Yours look beautiful!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bunch-of-wiws-buttondowns-summery-weather-handknits-easter#post-1799567 Wed, 19 Apr 2017 01:14:18 +0000 Karie 1799567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all of these. #4/#5 is my favorite (I love the handknits), followed by #8/#9</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bunch-of-wiws-buttondowns-summery-weather-handknits-easter#post-1799446 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 17:39:47 +0000 Summer 1799446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All lovely, Diana.&nbsp; Your hand-knits are so pretty, and I just love that little teal jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bunch-of-wiws-buttondowns-summery-weather-handknits-easter#post-1799420 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 16:44:19 +0000 Angie 1799420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blast, Diana. I was hoping you would be a Euro 37. My new gold oxfords are too big no matter WHAT I do. I needed a 36.5 - (like I said before, my feet are shrinking). I bought these in the Netherlands three months ago and cannot return them. They are GORGEOUS. Beautifully made. Very refined.&nbsp;</p> <p>*sobbing*</p> <p>I wish you could shrink shoes.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bunch-of-wiws-buttondowns-summery-weather-handknits-easter#post-1799416 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 16:28:57 +0000 Sara L. 1799416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the light colors in #1 - the shoes go so well with the top. &nbsp;I always love your handknits and now I want some fingerless gloves although I have no idea when I would wear them. &nbsp;The Easter dress is fab. &nbsp;Have you tried heel inserts in shoes like pumps? &nbsp;I have to use them or those types of shoes fall off. &nbsp;I find them more comfortable than buying shoes a bit small, which I used to do before I discovered the heel things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bunch-of-wiws-buttondowns-summery-weather-handknits-easter#post-1799386 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 14:39:50 +0000 Suz 1799386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those beautiful handknits! Wow. And the dress is fab on you. I hear you about the shoes -- I have the same problem, alas, and my feet are not even low volume overall.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bunch-of-wiws-buttondowns-summery-weather-handknits-easter#post-1799380 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 14:16:22 +0000 Diana 1799380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie! I wear a 38/7.5, low volume but not exactly narrow. 7's are almost always too short and pinch at the toes. These are a 37.5 and possibly narrow (in any case they are Italian so lower volume anyway). </p> <p>Anyway I think the last few times I have worn them have been in colder weather with hose, and they are ok then. But in 80 degree weather with no hose, they got really pinchy after walking around a bit. (To be fair we walkedmore than expected.). Closed toe shoes in general without socks/hose are problematic for me. </p> <p>I loooove the super pointy toes and kitten heel though. Would love to find something with a similar shape but with an ankle strap (that way I can go roomier without them falling off). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bunch-of-wiws-buttondowns-summery-weather-handknits-easter#post-1799379 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 14:06:08 +0000 Angie 1799379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of cute hand knits and patterns, Diana. Nice to see the buttoned blouses come out too.&nbsp;</p> <p>You're super cute in #7 - very 2017. And fun frock in #8. GORGEOUS bag.&nbsp;</p> <p>What size shoe do you wear, Diana?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bunch-of-wiws-buttondowns-summery-weather-handknits-easter#post-1799325 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 06:22:52 +0000 Ledonna N. 1799325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your knits are simply a joy. How much fun us it to create something so beautiful. </p> <p>I like going throug your week also.</p> <p>It is such a shame anout your shoes. But the fit us beautiful withthe pop of color with the clutch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bunch-of-wiws-buttondowns-summery-weather-handknits-easter#post-1799301 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 03:49:50 +0000 Anonymous 1799301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a variety of fab outfits! My favorite is the hand knits in 4/5. The green silk shirt in 6 is a gorgeous color on you. I like Aida's thoughts on wearing it with cropped pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bunch-of-wiws-buttondowns-summery-weather-handknits-easter#post-1799286 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 02:48:57 +0000 Diana 1799286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, would you believe I don't actually own any denim shorts?!?!&nbsp; I kind of feel like if it's hot enough for shorts, it's too hot for denim, but this week I actually thought it might be nice to have some.&nbsp; That's a really interesting point about shorter shirts with crops... I hadn't thought about it that way but I think you might be right.&nbsp; Maybe better with more ankle showing rather than the booties though?&nbsp; </p> <p>Greyscale, I hope you had a good time in Boston!&nbsp; The weather was great last week, wasn't it?&nbsp; It's supposed to cool down quite a lot in the next couple of days (back down to 40's I think). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bunch-of-wiws-buttondowns-summery-weather-handknits-easter#post-1799279 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 02:35:14 +0000 Jaime 1799279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is so much fun going through your week because of the great variety. I like them all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bunch-of-wiws-buttondowns-summery-weather-handknits-easter#post-1799275 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 02:17:48 +0000 Greyscale 1799275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both silk shirts - I'm glad you found chances to wear them. And the black tank look is a fun way to celebrate the nice weather. </p> <p>I was probably just across the street from you last week - and yes the weather was beautiful!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bunch-of-wiws-buttondowns-summery-weather-handknits-easter#post-1799266 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 01:50:17 +0000 Aida 1799266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely light shades in #1-3, with the deep teal jacket to contrast. I'd be inclined to pair that silky shirt with some denim shorts (probably tucked with a metallic belt?) Can't believe you're already in sleeveless in #7! Lovely dressy look, and as always, love seeing your pretty handknits in #4/5.</p> <p>Re the shorter shirt in #6, I'm kinda liking that length paired with cropped pants because you get a "proportionally correct" shift which I find fun. Your outfit has those kind of proportions, so I dig it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bunch-of-wiws-buttondowns-summery-weather-handknits-easter#post-1799241 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 00:02:06 +0000 Murph11 1799241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE your hand-knit scarf, and your Easter finery is a great look on you! Too bad about the shoes, because they pair beautifully.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bunch-of-wiws-buttondowns-summery-weather-handknits-easter#post-1799239 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 23:56:46 +0000 Diana 1799239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've apparently been snapping lots of WIW photos in the past week but haven't had time to post any of them since Tuesday.&nbsp; We had a bunch of really warm days!&nbsp; </p> <p>1-3: As I mentioned in my <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-buttondowns-for-summery-weather">earlier WIW this week</a>, I decided that I should wear some of my buttondowns, which don't get enough wear.&nbsp; (I'm exempting the plaids because those have been worn regularly all winter.)&nbsp; This silk shirt is always a little difficult for me to style because it's much more classic than my normal style, and it has some slight fit issues (it's too long through the armholes and straight at the hip).&nbsp; This time I tried pairing it with my cropped summer flare jeans and gold oxfords. I think it's much better with the sleeves rolled up as in #2 but unfortunately they kept wanting to fall down all day! The topper is my teal swing jacket which is totally impractical in most weather conditions, but was perfect for this weird taste of summer we're having.&nbsp; </p> <p>4-5: A cooler day so I took the opportunity to wear a bunch of handknits instead of another buttondown.&nbsp; </p> <p>6: Another silk buttondown worn with patterned crop pants and booties.&nbsp; It's a petite length which means it fits better through the armholes and upper body, but I think it's a little on the short side to wear with pants.&nbsp; (The sleeves are also too short but since they have roll tabs it's not a big deal.)&nbsp; What do you think?&nbsp; </p> <p>7: drapey tank top, the summer flare jeans again, and sneakers for a super casual, warm Saturday.&nbsp; </p> <p>8-9: Easter finery.&nbsp; This is a very old dress from Anthro that I haven't worn for a while, worn with some pointy kitten heels and my turquoise Milly clutch. Unfortunately I think these shoes are going to have to be sitting-only shoes because they seem to feel tighter of late.&nbsp; This makes me sad because they look great and don't fall off.&nbsp; (But the truth is that the only way shoes don't fall off my feet without straps/laces is if they are a half size too small, which means they tend to be too tight after a few hours.)&nbsp; </p>
