Love you in those trousers! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-spring-outfit#post-915798 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 23:33:50 +0000 pil 915798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color and silhouette of the sweater on you very much. The pants too! I'm not adventurous enough to try this style of pants.</p> <p>The way things are going you may have ample opportunity to lower your CPW : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-spring-outfit#post-915775 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 23:20:38 +0000 Day Vies 915775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the silhouette and the colors. You look like a trendsetter.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-spring-outfit#post-915707 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 22:33:59 +0000 unfrumped 915707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you for the replies and suggestions. I know I need to be&nbsp; careful with purchases that aren't the real deal, because I can see better now how that might limit my options for later purchases, but for some reason I was determined to try this silhouette and make a very intentional outfit right away.&nbsp;That also has been a rather new way of dressing, for me. I guess I'll have to wear this top several times, quick, before the warmer weather, or in the A/C, or convert it to pastel loungewear later. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-spring-outfit#post-915044 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 07:40:39 +0000 Deborah 915044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the proportions here and that sweater is very nice. As already suggested, a bootie could look great as an alternative and you could also semi the high front hemline and add a slim belt... just for variety. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-spring-outfit#post-915030 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 06:02:44 +0000 Mia 915030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the hi lo will be around for awhile and the selection may even improve. I started with an inexpensive option as well and then found a better one I have been living in. Did you try this look with a bootie? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-spring-outfit#post-914914 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 01:34:43 +0000 Angie 914914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The pullover looks great and is a nice stepping stone to the real deal. Gorgeous proportions with the trousers :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-spring-outfit#post-914838 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 00:19:08 +0000 Glory 914838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the sweater - the colour is versatile and it fits you very nicely. I think you have found a great item to try the trend with. Marshalls has some great items.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-spring-outfit#post-914782 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 23:33:32 +0000 Suz 914782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This looks lovely on you! Relaxed, current, fun. It's hard to see the details of shoes or sweater, but I get the idea.<br /><br />&nbsp;I know what you mean about sometimes being overwhelmed by the high-low stuff that is out there. I have a similar problem. One solution is to try a banded sweater and faux tuck so the front rises higher (showing a belt, perhaps) and the back dips lower. In fact, this has been my <b>ONLY </b>solution thus far because I have not been able to find the right high-low item.&nbsp;<br /><br />I think you did well to try with a gateway item. You can experiment a bit while you keep looking for the autumn version.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cold-spring-outfit#post-914779 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 23:29:41 +0000 unfrumped 914779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Here is how I wore my EF trousers during a cool snap--a not-work occasion. Kind of trying high-low, pastel, slight oversized and cropped all in one top.<br /><br />I found a hi-low sweater at Marshall's to try as a gateway item. It is acrylic, not great quality and has a silvery sparkly&nbsp;bit of pattern &nbsp;printed on the front which makes it not work-wearable. Might be too "junior", IYKWIM. So, in some ways maybe should have saved&nbsp;even the modest price&nbsp;for the real deal. But, I wanted to try something like this out.&nbsp; A lot of high-low's are too big for me and too long and droopy in back. If I could find something similar--I could go a bit longer, too--in a neutral and a better knit I would grab it, to wear with other bottoms--trousers and pencil skirts. But I have not, so far, found what I want.<br /><br />I wore wedge&nbsp;pumps in a bluish-gray &nbsp;color faux tiny reptile pattern. Also a kind of try-out --these are only 4-hour shoes for me, need to be an inch or half-inch lower or maybe just overall more comfortable, as I found after actually wearing them. But they have been versatile as date-night shoes if not doing a lot of walking.&nbsp;Function surprisingly as a neutral.<br /><br />Ideas on proportions and improvements? Especially for a future sweater for fall or winter, though perhaps fashion will have moved on by then.
