I love this peplum look on you, Rachylou, and immediately thought of skinnies, too. The hem is so interesting and this type of bottom would play it up nicely. It's a great color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-sweater#post-487206 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:42:21 +0000 rachylou 487206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey awright! A 'killer' from Angie!</p> <p>@Deborah - Thanks! I feel more confident that I don't look like a little sausage.</p> <p>@Helen - The wares are super smart looking in real life.</p> <p>@AJ - I think it's definite now - I need to go find me some high waisted pants. If only I were more on the ball a couple of years ago, when it was the trend (!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-sweater#post-487034 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 11:15:49 +0000 Deborah 487034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it. Very unusual and quite a statement piece...and you don't look fat! No further suggestions for you, just wanted to say how great this looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-sweater#post-487023 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 07:58:49 +0000 HelenInCanada 487023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rachylou! Wow - they're really environmentally savvy. Some interesting &amp; creative stuff there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-sweater#post-487015 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 07:27:03 +0000 AJ 487015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I likey! I also thought it might be nice paired with high waisted bottoms. I'd let the sweater be the focal point and keep the top underneath simple and sleek.</p> <p>Can't wait to see how you style this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-sweater#post-486848 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 02:14:36 +0000 Angie 486848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a KILLER piece on you, Rachy! You've received great suggestions already so I'm just chiming in to say hi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-sweater#post-486756 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 00:41:27 +0000 rachylou 486756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Helen, it's from Multiple Threads.

It shows off your awesome print top underneath too. Can I ask where that's from? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-sweater#post-486684 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 22:58:20 +0000 rachylou 486684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, a total treasure trove of ideas! I knew you guys would know what to do! I was a complete blank, but I loved the sweater and got it anyways.</p> <p>@nicole - Gosh, you are so right! The shape isn't neutral, but the color actually is. Now that I look closely, what reads brown is actually made up of lots of different color speckles - there's oatmeal, red, burgundy, blue, green. </p> <p>@Suz &amp; Ana - duh! Boots never even occurred to me. Am I asleep? I'd love a pair of high DMs. This is so gonna be my excuse. Need to see if I own any high-waisted trousers.</p> <p>@celia &amp; rae - another duh! Pencil skirts also never occurred to me. You know, I don't think I own one anymore...</p> <p>@claire - I'm going to commit this memory - flowy shirts, hems even. I need that kind of specificity. I'll have to experiment with scarves. Yet another thing that failed to cross my mind! </p> <p>...Ok: high waists, pencil skirts, boots, even hems, romantic tops, equestrian twist... Would a blouse with ruffles down the front be too costumey? Not that this would stop me, LOL... but I'll try to avoid actually putting on my actual jodhpurs unless I really go riding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-sweater#post-486592 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:37:55 +0000 rae 486592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just adore this! Home run!</p> <p>Since it's neutral, I think it will go with any color. I'm seeing high waisted pencil skirts and trousers, riding boots, combat boots, ankle boots, skinnies and bf jeans, midis... basically everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-sweater#post-486589 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:37:08 +0000 Ana 486589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a cool sweater! And it looks like it fits you really well, too (from what I can see in the photos). </p> <p>I think you could wear it with a full or A-line skirt (knee length or midi) and rugged boots, like Doc Martens or some other tall, lace-up boots. A structured doctor's satchel could be a good handbag choice, if you have one. </p> <p>I can't wait to see all the ways you style it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-sweater#post-486573 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:12:34 +0000 Anonymous 486573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it too! What a cool piece. I want to put you in a poet blouse and skinnies tucked into tall boots but that might be a bit to literal and costumey (but I still love the idea)!</p> <p>I think it needs a shorter top--maybe the length even with the very longest part of the blazer at the back or a few inches longer. I'd experiment with flowy blouses and knit tops too. How would it look open with a simple T shirt and scarf at the neck? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-sweater#post-486534 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:57:08 +0000 celia 486534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great.A signature piece for your wardrobe.<br /> I like the suggestions so far and would go for the equestrian look all the way.<br /> Regarding skirts I would prefer it with pencil skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-sweater#post-486517 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:23:09 +0000 Suz 486517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh. I love this, Rachylou! </p> <p>I agree with Nicole re styling suggestions. I think it might work with various shapes of skirt, depending on what top/belt you choose. Would look great with boots, of course. Could work with tucked skinnies too, for a slightly feminine twist on the equestrian look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-sweater#post-486513 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:18:38 +0000 nicoleb 486513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, off the top of my head I would say an easy thing to do is a bottom piece that hits at your natural waist with a shirt tucked in. But if you don't like doing that I could also see it with some sleek bottoms and a shirt that is shorter than what you currently have in the picture. </p> <p>Fun piece!</p> <p>ETA: this looks like a neutral brown color? So you really have quite a wide array of other colors you could pair it with. Experiment and have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-for-sweater#post-486502 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:11:23 +0000 rachylou 486502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Got this *upcycled* sweater this weekend, made to an 18th (?) century French pattern for a riding jacket. Pics are bad (taken in the dark ladies room, lol), but it has this peplum thingy in back. I am keeping this thing and wearing it no matter what, even if it makes me look fat! (If it does, don't tell me, haha!) </p> <p>Thoughts on how to style it best / colours to go with? It has this high, cut away front that leaves a lot on show of what's underneath.</p> <p>Ok! </p>
