Beth Ann on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ew-gross-no-that-looks-horrible#post-1582919 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 12:22:53 +0000 Beth Ann 1582919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, at least his reaction wasn't to a new item you adored! I can see what drew you to the cardi -- it's dramatic and cozy.  However, unless you love it, feel free to move on.  I really like the twist detail, but I wonder if it would be easier to style if it were a bit shorter -- to mid thigh.  Bijou on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ew-gross-no-that-looks-horrible#post-1582916 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 11:24:40 +0000 Bijou 1582916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think its a nice cardigan, however, once you get a reception like that, it stays with you - so I think this one has to go back!

It just happens, to all of us! BUT I think it is not irreparable, just a size too big!:-) Think it has to be stretchy on the bust somehow, than will surely work!!! Could you try to size down before giving up...love that piece:-).

Have to agree with DH. I can't wrap my head around SS. Who is their customer? My 80+ mother has ordered from them. I thought they were geared for elderly women (inactive - maybe even in wheel chair).. But the models....tall and slim with heels....what's with That? TraceyLiz65 on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ew-gross-no-that-looks-horrible#post-1582867 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 05:09:24 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1582867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think wearing it over a black top and bottom or monotone outfit might work better. If you don't love, by all means don't keep it! Jaime on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ew-gross-no-that-looks-horrible#post-1582816 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 02:15:25 +0000 Jaime 1582816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Honestly I don't see what caused that reaction, but, also honestly, if DH had that strong a reaction to something I would just return it. (Assuming he doesn't do that all the time!) You look splendid for the last warm day of Autumn. Suz on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ew-gross-no-that-looks-horrible#post-1582814 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 02:14:09 +0000 Suz 1582814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Also, today's outfit is GORGEOUS on you. I love that classic simplicity and the clean lines. Suz on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ew-gross-no-that-looks-horrible#post-1582813 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 02:13:35 +0000 Suz 1582813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ha, Carter, your husband and mine should get together and form a club. You know, the Tactful Club. Sensitive New Age guys? I think not... Actually to be fair to Mr. Suz, his eye often "adjusts" after a little tantrum or two.  ;) I think this is potentially great on you but agree with others that maybe a different neckline is called for on the top underneath. However, if it is that unpopular on the home front it hardly seems worth the effort involved to style it.  UmmLila (Lisa) on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ew-gross-no-that-looks-horrible#post-1582806 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 01:45:32 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1582806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't dislike it and think you could work with it. I have a similar type of cardigan from Allsaints that I'm fond of. I have not won compliments/ nor received criticism for it at home but here it is in finds and I used it as my apocalypse now look a couple of weeks ago.

I like the outfit you wore today. Simple and polished.  I don't think the cardi looks horrible. A little blocky maybe, but not too bad at all.  Mochi on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ew-gross-no-that-looks-horrible#post-1582754 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 00:12:10 +0000 Mochi 1582754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think he's a bit over the top. It may not be the most obviously flattering item, but it's okay, even kind of cool. I'm not sure I'd keep it myself, but it does NOT look gross on you!  Echo on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ew-gross-no-that-looks-horrible#post-1582748 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 00:02:09 +0000 Echo 1582748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I actually LOVE the sweater. I think it would go smashingly with a black top to keep it monochromatic underneath and have the sweater be the star. But I agree about the general lack of tact men commonly display.

My husband comes out with similar comments LOL... carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ew-gross-no-that-looks-horrible#post-1582715 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 23:02:10 +0000 carter 1582715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, everyone! I'm not sure this one's salvageable. I tried slim tanks with scoop necks, slightly fluid tank with V neck, slim tee with round neck, tucked, untucked, skinny jeans, straight jeans, bootleg jeans. I couldn't find anything that worked. By the time my husband came in, it was almost a relief to stop trying! Brooklyn on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ew-gross-no-that-looks-horrible#post-1582713 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 22:53:56 +0000 Brooklyn 1582713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with Firecracker (and not your dh!) I would try a scoop neck top (no collar or buttons). You look casually fab in the last outfit.

But it's not the best thing you've worn and it sounds really difficult to work with which would so limit its use. Pass!

The hemlines fall similarly and the underlying proportions are very "even"; might be better with a shorter skirt/dress/shorts or slim pants. I also don't see a lot of textural variation, everything is more or less "fine"; so maybe add something like leather or velvet or a chunkier/ribbed knit. Today's outfit looks casual cool ^^ Sal on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ew-gross-no-that-looks-horrible#post-1582689 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 21:25:01 +0000 Sal 1582689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So tactful ;) It looks fine but sometimes if something is too hard to style it is not worth persevering with. You look your usual fabulous self in the last picture. JAileen on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ew-gross-no-that-looks-horrible#post-1582686 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 21:18:51 +0000 JAileen 1582686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love your post's title! I think a tee or a turtleneck would look good under the cardi. It's a very interesting piece. Definitely not gross or horrible. Your other outfit is very nice. We're having a cold snap (15F this morning) so sleeveless tops are packed away here. Firecracker (Sharan) on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ew-gross-no-that-looks-horrible#post-1582683 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 21:13:56 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1582683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ha! Well, to each his own. I think it looks good! I would wear it over a top without a collar, though, despite how they are showing it in the store photo. To me, it seems to call for a very soft, unobtrusive under-layer. Or a very fitted tee. Your outfit looks fabulous. Fall colors, yet with bare arms and toes for your warm weather. Nicely done! carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ew-gross-no-that-looks-horrible#post-1582680 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 21:08:30 +0000 carter 1582680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ .
