You are right. Trying new-to-me items and styles keeps the ruts at bay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1598153 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 03:01:49 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1598153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Beth Ann--this sweater is a perfect color for you. I think the monochrome outfit is also part of what makes it look elegant on you. Love the tassel necklace, too. And regarding the Pettys, I like to say, "You're not in a rut; you just know what you like." (Plus, what rut? You just tried a cocoon cardigan!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1598089 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 23:43:45 +0000 Helena 1598089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Think it looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1598014 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 19:47:41 +0000 Anonymous 1598014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thankyou , Beth Ann. So helpful from one with so much style wisdom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1597904 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 15:45:56 +0000 Beth Ann 1597904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Cocoon silhouette, and I think the cream is a wonderful choice, as it keeps the look from becoming heavy and dark. &nbsp;Well done! &nbsp;As for footwear "ruts," I think it changing up the colors and textures in your footwear, and sticking with a boot that you know works for you, is a sign of style wisdom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1597892 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 15:17:13 +0000 Anonymous 1597892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kerry, I have not seen that show but suspect that Jane Fonda looks great in anything. I hope to add more light neutrals and less black.<br /> Suz, the tone on tone outfits are my favorites, especially if they play with texture. I need to learn to play with proportion too. Maybe that should be my January self challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1597882 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 14:38:22 +0000 Suz 1597882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely soft look on you, Joy! You look wonderful in these tone on tone ensembles.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1597878 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 14:11:04 +0000 kerry 1597878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just started watching a Netflix series - Grace and Frankie. In it Jane Fonda wears a cocoon cardigan much like yours and looks terrific. Yours does too. I like the light neutrals. I think they suit your colouring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1597876 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 13:42:39 +0000 Anonymous 1597876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mamavalveeta03, i can do that combination from my closet and will try it soon. Thank you for the ideas.<br /> Cerinda, this is my first try at an acrylic /cotton blend and I am pleased with it after avoiding acrylic for years. So far this piece has not shown pilling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1597854 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 07:39:27 +0000 Cerinda 1597854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FYI, Joy, I find acrylic/cotton blends the best way to do the fiber: not too scratchy and wears better than acrylic/wool (pill city) or acrylic/ wool/alpaca/cashmere (oh, itch!).</p> <p>More important, what a good look for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1597700 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 19:06:37 +0000 Mamavalveeta03 1597700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! It's great in the tonal combination! I'd love to see it with a crewneck tee and loafers in a light tan color. You look beautiful in that combination, Joy, with your gorgeous hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1591118 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 01:53:06 +0000 Anonymous 1591118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn and Karie, tonal looks are my favorite right now, especially with texture mixing.<br /> Windchime, thank you for the boost of confidence. Cream or similar whites are becoming a year-round look for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1591109 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 01:36:20 +0000 Windchime 1591109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks cozy and on trend. You always look gorgeous in cream; I think of it as a signature color for you.</p> <p>I also like the tassel necklace on you, a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1591105 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 01:22:42 +0000 Karie 1591105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A beautiful tonal outfit!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1591033 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 21:40:52 +0000 Brooklyn 1591033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. And of course I love the tonal look. Cardigans are such are comfy alternative to a jacket. Great for driving around and for travel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1591021 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 20:11:14 +0000 Anonymous 1591021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou and Sterling, thank you. This is feeling quite cozy, like loungewear.<br /> Mtsofthemoon, thank you for the compliment on my hair.<br /> Elizabeth, I am liking this style and would invest in another. The burgundy one is tempting me.<br /> Thank you for the vote of confidence, Angie. If I get another, should I try a smaller size or a petite. It looks longer in the photos than in the mirror.<br /> Thank you, Inge and Scarlet. The new SE booties came. They are light but bookend my hair pretty well. I could probably have used either the snake or putty for most uses.<br /> Glory, I agree that cardigans are cozy. This one is not scratchy and could be worn for lounging. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1591016 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 19:52:48 +0000 Glory 1591016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks wonderful Joy. A great way to try out a trend. I love cardigans and find them very practical as I work from home. I have a variety of them. I like the easy on/easy off as temperatures change.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1591010 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 19:41:48 +0000 Scarlet 1591010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makes sense to me. I love the practicality and coziness of cardigans, andIi like the tonal outfit. Works well with the necklace. Had to smile about the Pettys because I also have putty and snakeskin. Personally I find the the putty too pale for winter, so stone probably makes perfect sense! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1591000 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 19:10:09 +0000 Inge 1591000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh I like the texture of the cardigan, Joy. Looks very cosy and stylish indeed. Love the tonal look, and the tassel necklace is a great touch. And the Pettys are a great bootie, so hurrah for getting them in an extra colour:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1590999 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 19:09:38 +0000 Angie 1590999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1590994 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 18:53:59 +0000 Elizabeth P 1590994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great Joy.&nbsp; this style of cardigan has me liking them again as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/breaking-out-trying-cocoon-cardigan-on-the-cheap#post-1590993 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 18:51:27 +0000 mtnsofthemoon 1590993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say it's a keeper.

This cardigan with its cocoon style and near match for the BR cream jeans that many of us bought last year, jumped into my cart at Target. Is it overwhelming? This is a medium. The fabric is cotton and acrylic, so may pill in time, but it is cosy and machine washable for under $17 this week. There were also a rich burgundy and a mid grey at my store ( on line it is called black)<br /> The tassel necklace is also trying a trend on the cheap. This from the Rack. Please excuse the slippers. I am awaiting a fashion rut..SE Petty booties, this time in "bone". I have them in "putty" and "snake", so a rut but a comfortable one. </p>
