Maybe the navy and white shirt pairing works better with the sweater since it is less contrast. And to your point Sveta, the striped shirt is better quality, and drapes  better. Good to play around and see what works!

Honestly I like this combination less somehow (which does not mean it is not fab, just my personal preference). Is this denim shirt more bulky than the striped shirt? I think the sweater is just the right weight for layering so maybe this is the matter of the shirt  ( I know I have issues with my denim shirt0. love your "babies"! amiable on "A little dot on dot action..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-dot-on-dot-action#post-1227606 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 00:07:13 +0000 amiable 1227606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love this combo!  I think this cropped sweater works so brilliant in both of the combos I've seen (slight preference for the stripes though - not sure why).

I love the way you've styled the cropped jumper - great dot on dot action and works well with the BFs. merwoman on "A little dot on dot action..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-dot-on-dot-action#post-1227520 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 21:35:14 +0000 merwoman 1227520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree kkards - don't know why I didn't see it before! merwoman on "A little dot on dot action..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-dot-on-dot-action#post-1227515 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 21:31:08 +0000 merwoman 1227515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ oh, Rachylou,I like the slighty evil twist - like an evil eye out of control!

Orchids love benign neglect - easiest plant in the world to take care of, once you get the location right. They don't even mind if you are on holiday for a few weeks. merwoman on "A little dot on dot action..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-dot-on-dot-action#post-1227478 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 20:26:12 +0000 merwoman 1227478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ambergreen - you're 'spot' on! The dots seem to line up and are the same size. Of course that was my intention all along ;-) Thank you Neonginger - almost time to start playing in the kitchen... Appreciate your kind words Beth Ann, and the orchid love!

I can't get past the orchids. Did you coax these into bloom yourself?

P.S.  Orchids are stunning and make me smile! neonginger on "A little dot on dot action..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-dot-on-dot-action#post-1227449 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 20:05:29 +0000 neonginger 1227449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Cute and playful look!!

The dots really bring the pieces together like they were meant to be. merwoman on "A little dot on dot action..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-dot-on-dot-action#post-1227446 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 20:02:19 +0000 merwoman 1227446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you Columbine and Suz - there's definitely an element of fun to it! Should have busted out my striped oxfords to add to the mix. Nodding my head in agreement Suz. I've been looking for silkier shirts, as I think they drape and layer a little easier. Thank you for the 'orchid' love! Suz on "A little dot on dot action..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-dot-on-dot-action#post-1227442 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 19:56:20 +0000 Suz 1227442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think this is absolutely lovely on you! Fun, fresh, and fab.  But if if doesn't feel great, I wonder if a silky shirt underneath might feel better. Sometimes when I'm layering, silky works better than heavier cotton.  Your orchids are gorgeous.  columbine(erin) on "A little dot on dot action..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-dot-on-dot-action#post-1227440 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 19:53:09 +0000 columbine(erin) 1227440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very fun!  merwoman on "A little dot on dot action..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-dot-on-dot-action#post-1227427 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 19:29:26 +0000 merwoman 1227427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you  Marcy and Angie!

I bet it was cute with stripes, too. merwoman on "A little dot on dot action..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-dot-on-dot-action#post-1227400 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 18:51:31 +0000 merwoman 1227400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm still on the fence regarding the cropped sweater trend.  Previously at a meet up in TO (smiling at the warm memories that invokes) I wore this sweater paired with a stripped shirt. Today I'm teaming it with a dotted denim shirt and a pair of BFs. Perfect outfit temperature wise, with the layers I'm warm enough for the outdoors without having to add a jacket. Maybe this sweater is a little too chunky, and a finer gauge would work better? What are your thoughts ladies? Does it work? Have you had success with the cropped sweater trend? Gratuitous shot of my 'babies' in bloom....
