Mixing various pieces of patterned and textured knitwear is SO appealing, even better that you are able to indulge this hobby by featuring your own handiwork.</p> <p>And, of course, you had me at Liberty print. The teal with cream is so fresh looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-challenge-day-1-ffbo-handknit-sweater-jeans-combat-boots#post-2006405 Tue, 26 Feb 2019 00:19:55 +0000 karen13 2006405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course you are wrapped in gorgeous hand knits that I want so badly! &nbsp;These are both you. I love those liberty print jeans. Are they past rescue with iron on reinforcement from the inside? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-challenge-day-1-ffbo-handknit-sweater-jeans-combat-boots#post-2006386 Mon, 25 Feb 2019 23:55:10 +0000 Cee 2006386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can't go wrong </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-challenge-day-1-ffbo-handknit-sweater-jeans-combat-boots#post-2006232 Mon, 25 Feb 2019 21:46:24 +0000 anchie 2006232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course , I was sure it will feature handknits, very Diana, fab as always.

I've only purchased one this season, I think they are even better than knee lengths ones on my figure. Balances the hips nicely, but not too restrictive. I should have listened to you earlier. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-challenge-day-1-ffbo-handknit-sweater-jeans-combat-boots#post-2006145 Mon, 25 Feb 2019 20:30:24 +0000 ChristelJ 2006145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sweater is just marvelous.

They’re more green irl. I knit them ages ago. They are not really the most comfortable as they are sliiightly too small (and being stranded don’t stretch as much as normal knitting) so I don’t wear them super often, but I still like them.<br /> The pattern is called Vinterblomster if you’re interested. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-challenge-day-1-ffbo-handknit-sweater-jeans-combat-boots#post-2006073 Mon, 25 Feb 2019 19:10:43 +0000 Diana 2006073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, Jaileen, I do love Naot sandals too but the boots are actually Taos. &nbsp;I don't know why the find is saying Naot! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-challenge-day-1-ffbo-handknit-sweater-jeans-combat-boots#post-2006064 Mon, 25 Feb 2019 19:00:57 +0000 JAileen 2006064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, this is really you. Beautiful sweater. Your boots are interesting. Oh - Naot - I love their sandals. I’d love to get a better view of your gloves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-challenge-day-1-ffbo-handknit-sweater-jeans-combat-boots#post-2006063 Mon, 25 Feb 2019 19:00:49 +0000 Cardiff girl 2006063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great,l love those boots and as always your handknits are impressive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-challenge-day-1-ffbo-handknit-sweater-jeans-combat-boots#post-2006062 Mon, 25 Feb 2019 19:00:46 +0000 Suz 2006062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Diana</b>, you look amazing. SOOOOO cozy all bundled up. Of course your first "me" outfit had to include one of your beautiful hand knits! That sweater is so texturally rich. Love both outfits on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-challenge-day-1-ffbo-handknit-sweater-jeans-combat-boots#post-2006057 Mon, 25 Feb 2019 18:56:00 +0000 Diana 2006057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today's Angie Challenge entry is a FFBO, featuring my favorite sweater, perfect jeans, and combat boots. &nbsp;</p> <p>Why this outfit is very "me":<br />--The handknit sweater obviously. &nbsp;This cream cabled one is probably my favorite out of all of them; it's certainly the one I wear the most.<br />--Jeans. &nbsp;I wear jeans several times a week, except in the summer. &nbsp;They're perfect for my life and work. &nbsp;Not to brag, but although I find it difficult to find jeans that fit, once I do get the perfect fitting ones I think they tend to look great on me. &nbsp;These Rag and Bone jeans from NAS a couple of years ago are some of my favorites.<br />--black midcalf combat boots. &nbsp;Possibly my favorite style of shoe. I love mid calf boots (still show some leg but tall enough that pants don't bag and bunch), but they are hard to find. These are new (to replace some old, dead ones that I tossed when I moved). &nbsp;See find below.<br />--piles of handknit outerwear (hat, gloves, scarf). &nbsp;I don't wear puffers but all this wool keeps me plenty warm! &nbsp;</p> <p>Bonus outfit (#5) is from last week that I never posted. &nbsp;It features the same sweater with crazy Liberty print teal pants and teal combat boots. &nbsp; &nbsp;Teal is my favorite color and I love crazy pants and Liberty prints in particular. &nbsp;Unfortunately I think these Liberty jeans are on their last legs as the material is wearing very thin in some places. &nbsp;:( </p>
