You have put a smile on my face very early this morning. This one is still tricky. I don't do that well with belts in general -- always fussing. And I found wearing this that I did fuss with it a lot. Still, I really like the look so much that I'll keep wearing it. If you were living near me you would be welcome to come and borrow it anytime </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-a-long-sweater-over-a-dress#post-85317 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 03:38:32 +0000 taylor 85317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How did I miss this thread!!!:(</p> <p>Late,.... Laura ,I love the way you ALWAYS try new things...so creative are you!!!...your style is one of a kind!!! you have some beautiful pieces I would love to have in my collection of goodies...:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-a-long-sweater-over-a-dress#post-85306 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 03:01:43 +0000 AlexSue 85306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the combination. The draping of the sweater is gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-a-long-sweater-over-a-dress#post-84504 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 11:45:51 +0000 yublocka 84504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>May the force be with you :)</p> <p>Are you wearing a leather or an elastic belt Laura? I have a couple of elastic belts that came with dresses I bought, and I'm suprised to find myself liking them. They really sit in place and feel less fussy to me than leather belts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-a-long-sweater-over-a-dress#post-84501 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 11:31:05 +0000 Laura 84501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Obi Wan -- too funny! Perhaps I am being subconsciously influenced by my sons' Star Wars DVDs ... I should put the hood up and walk around with one of their light sabers. Could scare a few kids in the neighborhood :)</p> <p>I have the sweater on today, belted over a lightweight black sack dress and Me Too ballet flats. It's working for me so far, but I tend to fuss a lot with belts, so we'll see if I can wear this without going crazy today. </p> <p>Rose, I'd have to try on that top because of the way it's cut at the hips -- if you have narrower hips than I do, it might be a wonderful layering piece! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-a-long-sweater-over-a-dress#post-84493 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 10:57:14 +0000 yublocka 84493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura I agree another pic would be good, but so far it works for me!! I tried belting a draped cardie, and felt like Obi Wan Kenobi. You have a tiny little waist so I think you pull it off!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-a-long-sweater-over-a-dress#post-84482 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 08:06:05 +0000 RoseandJoan 84482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura</p> <p>Just wondered what you thought of this. It is something I am considering buying for the autumn.</p> <p><a href="http://store.americanapparel.net/rsa0404.html?cid=26" rel="nofollow">http://store.americanapparel.n.....tml?cid=26</a></p> <p>I thought it may look cute with your dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-a-long-sweater-over-a-dress#post-84441 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 18:36:46 +0000 Laura 84441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmm. This look IS a little tricky. I know it could work with a boyfriend cardi but I was trying to work with a voluminous cardi just to ramp up the challenge to myself :)</p> <p>By the time Angie returns, I'll get my husband to take a photo of me in this outfit again -- otherwise it's hard to get one that's not angled. Also I'll try taller boots, to see if it looks better not showing a break between leg and boot. I hope to make this work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-a-long-sweater-over-a-dress#post-84425 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 16:40:21 +0000 fathenry 84425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I like this look, although I would pair it with a different shoe. I wish I could pull off wide belts like this!</p> <p>I'm new, so I don't trust myself to give advice on the shoe yet. But everything else looks good to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-a-long-sweater-over-a-dress#post-84393 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 13:46:04 +0000 Angie 84393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m inspired by the idea, Laura! But I just can’t tell for sure from the angle of the picture. But I think you are onto something good :0)</p> <p>Not sure about the booties and the ankle length stockings. Think you can take a more straight on picture? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-a-long-sweater-over-a-dress#post-84386 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 13:13:30 +0000 Danja 84386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smoking hot!!! Love it. And I am so glad you've kept the gap between the leggings and booties. Love it. I will be copying that look in the fall for sure.</p> <p>Danja </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-a-long-sweater-over-a-dress#post-84376 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 12:21:17 +0000 RoseandJoan 84376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, a fab look. It might also work with a boyfriend cardigan and the belt.</p> <p>I love those boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-a-long-sweater-over-a-dress#post-84366 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 11:33:37 +0000 hanna 84366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>um, LOVE IT. you look gorgeous, and those amazing legs! sigh. i may try to steal this, but i doubt i have the right sweater for it. i'll just have to admire it on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-a-long-sweater-over-a-dress#post-84354 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 10:45:56 +0000 Laura 84354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, thanks everyone for the encouragement. I am not sure if the belt will stay in place, but it's elastic, so I'm hoping it will (also it has a nice girdling effect!!). </p> <p>This is the sweater: <a href="http://www.maxstudio.com/cgi-bin/dynamic/Product.cgi?frame=main&#038;style_number=9202397&#038;color=CREAM" rel="nofollow">http://www.maxstudio.com/cgi-b.....olor=CREAM</a></p> <p>Ingrid, funny you should mention it, I am keeping an eye on that dress too! I'll let you know if the price drops. Another stalking project to keep us busy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-a-long-sweater-over-a-dress#post-84344 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 10:14:42 +0000 Inge 84344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The layering effect is fab Laura, and you wear belts so well, admiring sigh! That dress is turning out to be a very versatile piece!</p> <p>By the way: thanks for the heads-up about that voluminous dress on Angie's post last week. It's definitely calling my name, but I'm shushing it for the time being, need to watch my budget;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-a-long-sweater-over-a-dress#post-84315 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 04:10:14 +0000 cciele 84315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look laura65! You have such a knack for putting different pieces together, to a great effect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-a-long-sweater-over-a-dress#post-84313 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 04:04:50 +0000 Anonymous 84313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, what a cool layering piece. What sweater is this on top? The belt and boots are awesome too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-a-long-sweater-over-a-dress#post-84303 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 03:28:05 +0000 marianne 84303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it too - the layering, the draping, the boots! Does it actually stay in place like that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-a-long-sweater-over-a-dress#post-84254 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 21:21:17 +0000 Maya 84254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>omg I absolutely love it. The way the dress peeks out at the bottom is perfection. And the BOOTS! So amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-a-long-sweater-over-a-dress#post-84240 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 20:20:41 +0000 Laura 84240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried something new ... was brainstorming how to layer up that grey sack dress (that I've posted before) for fall. Do you think it works? </p> <p><a href="http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo247/Laura65__2008/August2009YLF036.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i380.photobucket.com/al.....YLF036.jpg</a> </p>
