The wedgewood blue I'm not sure about. It could be the photo, but it doesn't give your face the same flush as the purple. That's just my opinion.</p> <p>I really like this boyfriend cardigan. I think it fits you well and will be very versatile. </p> <p>I like the ATL cropped cardigan. The color is nice and it fits you well. </p> <p>The teal sweater is amazing on you. That's your color (along with red). Definitely a keeper and I like the skinny belt with it as well.</p> <p>The ivory sweater is a good basic but I think you need a better color layer under the sweater. I have this problem with ivory and need to have a good dose of my best colors around when I wear it. I think paired with a red shirt (or teal) you'll look great and it's a good basic to have. </p> <p>Overall, I think you made some great purchases! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checking-last-items-of-my-shopping-list#post-36334 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 14:54:51 +0000 Amanda 36334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I know my "style eye" is improving because I have to return fewer purchases after checking with the forum. I've gone from mostly "nope, doesn't work" to mostly "good job" -- that feels really good! I'm glad that these sweaters work because they were all good sales and things I can get a lot of use out of. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checking-last-items-of-my-shopping-list#post-36331 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 14:42:34 +0000 Violet 36331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice purchases! My favorite is the teal v-neck sweeter. I love how you paired it with the skinny belt. I love the boyfriend cardigan on you as well. It fits great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checking-last-items-of-my-shopping-list#post-36326 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 14:25:33 +0000 Tanya 36326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great purchases Aj! I love them all! The purple BF cardigan is amazing and so are the V-neck sweaters. And I like both colors of the shirt on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checking-last-items-of-my-shopping-list#post-36304 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 13:20:18 +0000 Laura 36304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>aj, you did a great job in finding layering pieces - those shirts fit you really well and I like both colors. I actually like the cropped cardi and think you could find some fun colors to layer under it. Can you wear yellow? Maybe a warm yellow? And I am jealous of how good you look in that boyfriend cardi. You look really, really great in that style. I had a feeling you would look great in the right boyfriend cardi - that JJill one from the other day was just a bit too bulky in the wrong place. I agree with Kristen - those long cardis suit your figure. If I were you, I'd keep on the lookout for more pieces like that one - you wear it well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checking-last-items-of-my-shopping-list#post-36302 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 13:16:37 +0000 dee 36302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like you made out well with all of the sales! I like all of the pieces - especially the ivory sweater/blue button down and teal sweater with the belt over top. The green sweater is a wonderful colour on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checking-last-items-of-my-shopping-list#post-36301 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 13:08:59 +0000 Inge 36301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great finds AJ!</p> <p>The purple shirt is showing up as being more of an ink blue on my screen, but I have a feeling the purple looks wonderful on you. I love the wedgewood blue one as well, especially paired with the ivory V-neck sweater.<br /> I love the look of a darker shirt underneath a lighter sweater/top: it's a nice change from what we usually do and it can look very elegant.</p> <p>I didn't have time to reply to your previous post about the boyfriend cardigan, but I agreed with the other ladies that the neckline and the looser fit was the problem. This one is more fitted and accentuates your figure. Love it (with this self-belt, but a leather belt is a good idea too).</p> <p>Like Kristen, I'm also not completely sure about the cropped cardigan, although I don't really see anything wrong with it, so I'm not much help here;-) The colour is great on you, by the way.</p> <p>The teal and ivory sweaters are keepers for sure. You always look so beautiful in a V-neck sweater with a button-down underneath, I'm jealous;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checking-last-items-of-my-shopping-list#post-36297 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 12:23:33 +0000 Kristen 36297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did very well! I really like the boyfriend sweater and the two J Jill spring sweaters -- those last two are my favorites of the bunch. I think I like them best best they're long and so are you -- so the proportions are perfect. I'm less fond of the green because it is cropped and it cuts you off a bit. (I'm tall too so I notice proportions of lengths; I like wearing items that make me look even taller, like 3-inch heels! Stand up and be proud of our inches, I say! LOL.) </p> <p>The deep purple button down is a great color on you; I'm not sure if the wedgewood blue is as flattering, but it could be the lighting instead. Even so, if you use it as a layering piece it will likely be just fine. Everyone needs a nice crisp blue shirt in their wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checking-last-items-of-my-shopping-list#post-36296 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 07:06:45 +0000 Amanda 36296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like several others, I hit the mall sales this weekend. I bought a bunch of turtleneck tops for layering. Those are all good basics so no photos -- until they show up in outfits.</p> <p>I also got several items that I'd like YLF feedback on.</p> <p><a href="http://s514.photobucket.com/albums/t346/aj-seattle/Purchases%2011-22/" rel="nofollow">http://s514.photobucket.com/al.....s%2011-22/</a></p> <p>Express button-front shirts -- I really like the two I have, so I added deep purple and wedgewood blue; I'm not sure the colors show up accurately in the photos, but I am wondering if these are good colors on me.</p> <p>Another try at the boyfriend cardigan -- this time a deep purple one from Gap. It came with the satin belt but I'd probably wear it with a brown leather belt.</p> <p>ATL cropped green cable sweater -- this I could wear in the spring over a button-front shirt or light weight turtlenecks.</p> <p>J. Jill cotton v-neck sweaters -- teal and ivory: these are also for spring. I don't think I'd wear the ivory over the pale blue but instead over my red or the purple button-front shirt (although I don't if light sweater over dark shirt is a good look). I really need some spring sweaters so I'm interested in what you all think of these.</p> <p>Thanks for your comments! </p>
