Is it cropped?</p> <p>Funny Sesame Street reference! I have a similar sweater from last year that I love that I call Purple Big Bird. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brief-update-and-cookie-monster-sweater-problem#post-1406035 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 23:59:12 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1406035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of semi-sheer if that's warm enough. Otherwise tights in gray, navy, etc. might look reasonable but not quite as heavy as black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brief-update-and-cookie-monster-sweater-problem#post-1405982 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 22:43:50 +0000 Suz 1405982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that is difficult. Can you wear nude hose or will you freeze?&nbsp;</p> <p>Can't wait to see the sweater in action.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brief-update-and-cookie-monster-sweater-problem#post-1405979 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 22:42:05 +0000 catgirl 1405979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions - I am trying to picture them with the outfit I have on and think which would work best.</p> <p>Angie, I'm wearing a white with bright florals tube skirt and black booties.. will post a pic when I get home!</p> <p>Elly, I got a size up in this sweater which seems counter-intuitive but actually makes it drape better and not cling as much. I think it's JFE and it's so much fun in a kooky (Cookie?) way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brief-update-and-cookie-monster-sweater-problem#post-1405956 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 22:02:05 +0000 viva 1405956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally agree with Diana regarding tights colors.</p> <p>Looking forward to seeing you in your muppet sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brief-update-and-cookie-monster-sweater-problem#post-1405945 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 21:39:58 +0000 N-Marie 1405945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not much help with tights but I do really want to see the sweater on you - I bet it looks smashing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brief-update-and-cookie-monster-sweater-problem#post-1405940 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 21:24:36 +0000 Elly 1405940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait for the outfit picture -- I ordered this sweater in black and would love to see it one someone that doesn't look like the model. &nbsp;Navy is sometimes a fun tights option.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brief-update-and-cookie-monster-sweater-problem#post-1405931 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 21:14:54 +0000 Diana 1405931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd probably go for medium to dark grey tights (like slate or charcoal).&nbsp; I personally do not like light colored opaque tights AT ALL, it always looks very juvenile to me.&nbsp; (Like little girls' easter outfits, you know?)&nbsp; Possibly navy might also work.</p> <p>For the boots, also grey.&nbsp; Or cognac might work if the rest of the outfit is not super cool toned.&nbsp; </p> <p>Or sheer black would work, but if it's too cold for nude, it'll be too cold for sheers.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brief-update-and-cookie-monster-sweater-problem#post-1405925 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 21:08:46 +0000 Angie 1405925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What colour is the the skirt, and are you wearing black footwear? I vote sheer black hose.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brief-update-and-cookie-monster-sweater-problem#post-1405917 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 21:02:08 +0000 ironkurtin 1405917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hose should match the shoes.&nbsp; Sorry, that's all I got. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brief-update-and-cookie-monster-sweater-problem#post-1405910 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 20:49:30 +0000 catgirl 1405910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a great time back in Boston - a YLF meetup, saw several friends, and tons of family time. The reunion was a bit of a bust - not that many people came and it was a letdown. But I did wear my leather skinnies and a Vince navy silk tunic I found at T.J. Maxx with my sister - got lots of compliments and felt great.</p> <p>In purchasing news, I had to exchange my Rag &amp; Bone pj jeams in Sheffield after they came apart at the seam on first washing. Surprised because the first pair held up so well. Anyway, Nordies was wonderful about exchanging, and while I was there I spied this cobalt fuzzy Vince Camuto sweater. It looks MUCH better on me than the model (sorry, not modest but it looks horrible on her!), and is a nice bright color. But it does have that Muppet vibe. </p> <p>It also led me to a new issue. With a bright top and non-black patterned skirt, what color tights would work? This seems best with a nude, but it's not warm enough for nude hose. Black is a bit harsh. And what color shoes? I'll post an outfit pic so you can see my struggle. This may be why I don't wear skirts in winter. I feel that black footwear limits color options with legwear and outfits. Evidently I dress from the feet up. Thoughts? :)</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-camuto-eyelash-knit-sweater-regular-petite/3835585?origin=keywordsearch" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vi.....wordsearch</a> </p>
