I preferred the cardigan open but I agree with Ola that it didn't make your hips look disproportional at all. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it/page/2#post-12546 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 02:06:15 +0000 Ola 12546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love the first pair of pants. Maybe it's the vertical pattern that makes them look so fabulous?</p> <p>Also, I didn't find that the buttoned sweater made the bottom look bigger. In fact I hardly noticed your bottom half because the sweater drew my eye up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12534 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 01:07:23 +0000 Tanya 12534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I completely with agree with Nicole, that's my order of preference too. Love those sharkskin pants on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12530 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 01:00:46 +0000 Eva 12530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for your suggestions and compliments! Sharkskin tomorrow it is. I will do both open and closed. San, thanks for your nice comments. I am a pear, but not too different in size. I am a 2 on top (I call it my Asian half) and a 4/6 on the bottom (my Causasian half). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12518 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:08:06 +0000 Nicole 12518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First place: the sharkskin pants.<br /> Runner up: the other pants<br /> Strong Third, the skirt<br /> Prefer it buttoned.</p> <p>:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12516 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 23:48:49 +0000 Angie 12516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful Eva! I too like all combos but LOVE the first option with the Sharkskin pants best. You are SO polished! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12514 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 23:44:49 +0000 shiny 12514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of them, but I am with San, I think I like the shark skin pants the best. I absolutely ADORE the shoes!! So cute!</p> <p>As for buttoned or unbuttoned: I think buttoned draws more attention to your chest, unbuttoned draws more attention to your teeny tiny waist. Unbuttoned looks more casual and nonchalant. I think you can go either way. If it were me, I'd probably spend half the day one way or the other... maybe unbuttoned at the office, then button it up when meeting my guy after work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12511 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 23:33:25 +0000 Anonymous 12511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE how you look in the first picture with the shark skin pants. What a great sweater and it looks good in all the pictures. I like it buttoned for the most part, still looks good unbuttoned too though.<br /> Your pointy toed shoes in the first picture are great and I am not usually a fan of pointy toes.<br /> You look great and you look like an hour glass to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12510 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 23:12:40 +0000 Eva 12510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops missed the open lilac cardigan.</p> <p><a href="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk223/E-RPics/IMG_0137.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i281.photobucket.com/al.....G_0137.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12509 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 23:07:25 +0000 Eva 12509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay ladies. I tried 3 outfits. I didn't wear it to work today, so let me know your thoughts on the pant selections. I can wear it tomorrow. (I wore the skirt on Monday.) I tried it open and closed. I think it works better open, because I am pear shaped (as you can clearly see) so when it is closed, I look smaller on top - which doesn't help the bottom!</p> <p>Shark skin pants, cream top, and lilac cardigan<br /> <a href="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk223/E-RPics/IMG_0141.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i281.photobucket.com/al.....G_0141.jpg</a></p> <p>Black pants, cream top, and lilac cardigan<br /> <a href="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk223/E-RPics/IMG_0140.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i281.photobucket.com/al.....G_0140.jpg</a></p> <p>2 with skirt, black top(open and closed)<br /> <a href="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk223/E-RPics/IMG_0140.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i281.photobucket.com/al.....G_0140.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk223/E-RPics/IMG_0138.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i281.photobucket.com/al.....G_0138.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12415 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 03:29:16 +0000 Nicole 12415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Photos Please! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12392 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 02:22:11 +0000 Eva 12392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions! I have the white jeans and cami (and of course white and cream knits. No green shoes, Nicole, but I have shoes in red, coral, yellow in addition to the "standard" colors. I will try one of those. Oh and navy! Maybe I will try that tomorrow for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12348 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 23:34:34 +0000 Tanya 12348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice indeed Eva! It fits you very well. I'd try it with some navy too. Navy, lilac &#38;white is one of my favorite color combos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12332 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 22:11:26 +0000 Angie 12332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There you go Eva! Such super suggestions. You know I adore you in white and cream. Try that too. ( Nice pic btw!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12324 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 21:09:00 +0000 Nicole 12324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cardi....I'd wear it with white jeans, a white denim skirt, or white clamdiggers/crops, and a white cami, or short sleeved scoop neck top--a fine knit, not tee shirt type of shirt. And green shoes. DId I mention I love green and purple together?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12321 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 20:42:15 +0000 shiny 12321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know I'm going to say I love it. ;-)</p> <p>You do not have to stick strictly to matching sweater material, Eva. Try it with a cami or a silk blouse or a finer knit wear. Anything goes. Do try this with cream or white top too. </p> <p>I think this is the color that Angie mentioned may be hot this fall? Lilac? </p> <p>Because the bolero style closes at the bust, it draws the eye towards the bust. So for work I would stick to a modest neckline just like you've chosen - for a hot date, you could go lower. Depends on your goal! I wear my identical pastel pink bolero with a particularly sexy dress I own, one with a sweetheart neckline that flaunts my cleavage, for hot dates with my hubby. ;-)</p> <p>I just want to add that I have regular cardis too - I'm just on a cropped jag at the moment!! I like the look because I think it balances me out proportionately, makes me look taller, and draws the eye up to my natural waist, which is rather high. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12315 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 19:42:30 +0000 Becky 12315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, Eva. The contrasting necklines, as san mentioned, do look nice. The jacket really makes you look slim! It looks sophisticated with the black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12311 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 19:16:36 +0000 Anonymous 12311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these two necklines together. When the cropped cardi came out a few years ago I was not a fan but now that I have gotten used to them I do like them and now own a few. I especially like the lines and color of the one you have and it shouldn't be a closet orphan. I think if you added a necklace to what you have on in the last picture it would be finished and looks great to me.<br /> Or maybe the right colorful bangle on your wrist would finish it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12306 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 18:37:53 +0000 Eva 12306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gee, I am bad at this. I will need to practice.</p> <p><a href="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk223/E-RPics/IMG_0136.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i281.photobucket.com/al.....G_0136.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12240 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 04:54:00 +0000 Antje 12240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eva, this link brings up the same picture as before (just the cardi on a hanger.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12238 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 04:50:02 +0000 Eva 12238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is a picture with a black sleeveless sweater. Do you think I need to stick to sweater material (but fitted) rather than camis?</p> <p><a href="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk223/E-RPics/IMG_0132.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i281.photobucket.com/al.....G_0132.jpg</a></p> <p>Antje, I don't think any of my dresses will match. I tried it with a light yellow sweater and I think it would work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12097 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 04:34:07 +0000 Antje 12097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a cute cardi. It looks like it would look best over sleeveless summer dresses. I could imagine white, navy blue, black, and maybe yellow to look good with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12096 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 04:10:22 +0000 shiny 12096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That worked!</p> <p>I have a nearly identical cardi, but in a pastel pink, from AT that I bought two or three seasons back. It's a tad too big on me now, since I lost weight, I think... or maybe my eye has changed, and I've gotten used to more form-fitting clothing. I haven't worn it in a long while, but I seem to recall it is shorter than my other cropped cardis. I wore it last summer with a few dresses. </p> <p>I agree with Tanya on color combos! Except I'd add white to the list. Try it on and experiment and take pics for us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12095 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 04:00:50 +0000 Tanya 12095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, it worked now! The sweater is very cute. </p> <p> I still stand at my previous color suggestions, but for the shapes, I am afraid I'd have to see it on. Is there a chance you'd be willing to post a photo of yourself in a possible outfit with this cardigan? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12093 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 03:57:05 +0000 Eva 12093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I'm new at this. Maybe I linked it incorrectly. Let's try this direct link option.</p> <p><a href="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk223/E-RPics/IMG_0132.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i281.photobucket.com/al.....G_0132.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12090 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 03:46:05 +0000 shiny 12090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't get photobucket to work either... but I'm quite interested, Eva! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12078 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 02:15:14 +0000 Tanya 12078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Eva, I currently can not get the photobucket to work, it leads to me my own album, how strange. I'll keep trying and let you know if I make it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12077 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 02:07:02 +0000 Eva 12077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first attempt ad adding a picture. I hope it works.</p> <p><a href="http://s281.photobucket.com/albums/kk223/E-RPics/?action=tageditmany" rel="nofollow">http://s281.photobucket.com/al.....ageditmany</a></p> <p>Tanya, thanks for the suggestion for Shiny's posts. Very good options! I have a black cropped cardigan like Shiny's. I like it with the black/white skirt and will try that one. </p> <p>Please let me know what you think of my lilac sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12070 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 20:43:38 +0000 Eva 12070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, it is a bit bolero top. I will take a picture of it and post it tonight. </p> <p>Tayna, I will look at Shiny's post to see what might work from them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-cardigan-what-to-wear-with-it#post-12041 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 16:03:10 +0000 Angie 12041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I’ve seen the lilac cropped cardigan and it’s sort of the wrong silhouette to do a lot of what Tanya has kindly suggested. The rounded front and high hook and eye closure make it more of a bolero top fit for wearing over sleeveless frocks. Do you know what I mean, Eva? </p>
