Meaning, I would not have picked it out as likely. So that's how I'm answering the question.<br />But, &nbsp;I don't see any harm in trying it if it's easy to do so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960405 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 00:17:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 960405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cross posted with you Mia - I hope you're right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960404 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 00:17:20 +0000 Deborah 960404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds good Shannon. And it's all in HOW we wear things IMHO. This jacket/cardi over a structured dress with edgy footwear creates a whole different look for the cardigan. I like the idea because it demonstrates that YOU own "the look" not the other way round. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960402 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 00:14:03 +0000 Transcona Shannon 960402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol Deb!</p> <p>Maybe EF can be my version of Helmut Lang? His sizing just doesn't work for &nbsp; my short apple body but I'm wanting to throw an unexpected piece into my wardrobe here and there. It may not be edgy the way HL is but it's still a bit different for me, don't you think?</p> <p>That's how I'm seeing the metallic EF top I got. It's not my usual style and that's actually one of the things I really like about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960401 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 00:12:49 +0000 Mia 960401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a good feeling about this. &nbsp;I think the charcoal will be amazing on you and it could turn out to be a real workhorse. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960399 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 00:10:19 +0000 Deborah 960399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it wrong I thought of me too?!? lol. Its just gorgeous and I love the look of EF garments. Such a good buy. Love Ebay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960398 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 00:08:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 960398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro - I'm hoping because it's a petite size, that the shoulders will work. Keep your fingers crossed for me!</p> <p>Deborah - I actually thought of you when I first started looking at this cardigan because it reminded me of some of your beautiful draped sweaters.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960381 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 23:58:57 +0000 Deborah 960381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I really like this:) I think it will just come down to fit. I love the look of an unstructured 'jacket' over a structered dress or skirt/top combo. It would be a nice alternative to your structured jackets and I feel it still fits within your style. Hope you will show us when it arrives. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960355 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 23:39:56 +0000 Caro in Oz 960355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if it fits well around the bust &amp; shoulder line it would look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960210 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 20:50:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 960210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo and Una - yes, there could be some fuss factor involved, depending on how that ruffled collar sits and whether or not it stays put.</p> <p>Rachy - ha! Love that I surprised you - lol!</p> <p>Nothing ventured, nothing gained right ladies? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960173 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 19:40:54 +0000 Thistle 960173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you are trying it!!&nbsp; Gorgeous sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960147 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 19:22:38 +0000 catgirl 960147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this but I'd have to know the fuss factor with that collar and whether it hits the sweet spot in terms of the waist. &nbsp;It reminds me a bit of the Prairie Underground clothing, which I love.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.prairieunderground.com/">http://www.prairieunderground.com/</a></p> <p>Glad you are trying it!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960089 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:11:18 +0000 rachylou 960089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In terms of colour, I can see you in this with something bright underneath. I <i>am</i> surprised you like the ruffles. I see you as going for a style less fussy and messy... but I also like the style stretch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960081 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:49:20 +0000 Anonymous 960081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks very comfy.

Updates needed when it arrives </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960070 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:26:47 +0000 Transcona Shannon 960070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I just bought it. I found it on eBay by a seller with an excellent rating. It is new with the tags, regular $218 and she was selling it for $69. She has a 30-day return policy and I didn't want to take the chance on it going to someone else, so pounced. I can always return if it doesn't work out.</p> <p>Thanks for the feedback! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960063 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:18:32 +0000 Mo 960063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it, and can see it in just the ways you describe styling it. &nbsp;I do wonder if the collar might get too fussy IRL. &nbsp;I'd say give it a try and see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960060 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:13:46 +0000 Anonymous 960060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960045 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:00:30 +0000 Transcona Shannon 960045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Harmonica - that's exactly how I'm seeing it - with more fitted or structural pieces as a companion.</p> <p>kkards - the color is listed as charcoal which should be good for me. All shades of grey work with my salt-n-pepper hair quite well.</p> <p>Suz - it is indeed a petite but is one size larger than the silver metallic EF top I just got. I see this as a good thing though since I would want layering room with the cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960042 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:56:31 +0000 Suz 960042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! And I can see you in it, yes. Assuming it's petite; EF tend to be cut generously.&nbsp;</p> <p>Nancylee sent me a similar one last year after deciding that grey wasn't her colour. Like you, I am a jacket girl at heart, but that sweater went on my trip to China. Now it has been relegated to lounge wear, but I enjoy it very much as such.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960032 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:44:07 +0000 kkards 960032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i can see you in this style, but the color seems a little not you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960021 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:24:02 +0000 harmonica 960021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this cardi a lot! And I use cardis as layers autumn/winter/spring. I think it goes with pieces that have shape and are a bit fitted, like sheath dresses and jeans/tee. Lets see what others have to say </p> <p>And I like your hypothetical real question ;-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-you-see-me-in-this#post-960013 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:13:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 960013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's something about this Eileen Fisher merino wool cascading front cardigan that is very appealing to me - in fact, I can't seem to stop looking at it. IMO it is a cardigan but with structure. I am normally not a cardigan person because I prefer the structure of a blazer but there are cold days when I occasionally want to wrap myself in something softer, you know?</p> <p>I like the slim sleeves, the ruffles cascading down the front, but then in the back the waist is accentuated. It also&nbsp;has this hi-lo peplum effect. It is not a typical shapeless cardigan.</p> <p>I can see it over top my black sheath dress with tights and boots on a colder day, over a white tee and jeans, etc. But it is different for me so I'm curious - could you see me in this?</p> <p>This is a slightly hypothetical and slightly real question - it is currently available in my size at a fabulous price, complete with returns. </p>
