This is my first purchase from that brand and I'll. Have to remember that sizing can be all over the map. I find that true for anthropologie also, a somewhat similar brand.</p> <p>Joy, yes you are so right about the low contrast thing. I always come back to it as by far a more flattering look on me than high contrast, almost always.<br /> I can get some contrast into my outfits with accessories and that works much better than doing it with tops/bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1835497 Sat, 12 Aug 2017 05:07:42 +0000 Anonymous 1835497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the grey one and think part of what makes it work so well is low contrast with the jeans. I have the same needs, being short with apple tendencies. Too much contrast with a long top can be a problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1835488 Sat, 12 Aug 2017 04:13:52 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1835488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yes--totally agree with your choice. Thanks for the photos of the next size up. It really swallows you whole, and it's kind of what I would have expected from some Free People items I've seen in the store. It's so funny--I've found a lot of their styles run tiny, and a lot run super huge. But when they work, they are unusual and hip--like the one you got! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1833837 Sun, 06 Aug 2017 15:25:58 +0000 Chris987 1833837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Elizabeth p...and your opinion does matter, that's one of the great thing not about ylf....we can learn about the styles of other members and from their people's different opinions really are helpfu! </p> <p>Thanks for the comment on my home. Maybe we should start a separate thread for those who love old US homes, although of course we can't hold a candle to "old homes" as defined in Europe ....and oh yeah gotta remember this is a FASHION bog </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1833096 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 11:59:10 +0000 Elizabeth P 1833096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just reading this now, and totally agree with your decision.&nbsp; Like that matters :)&nbsp; It's a great sweater, and I'm also admiring your home.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1832801 Thu, 03 Aug 2017 16:48:54 +0000 Chris987 1832801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie, as always </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1832764 Thu, 03 Aug 2017 16:11:04 +0000 Angie 1832764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Grey one it is.

Too big, too long, and I don't quite like the warm brown red although I usually do like colors like that. Styled with slim back pants. Back to keeping the grey one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1826924 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 22:28:04 +0000 Chris987 1826924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Traci I have never had anything from this brand so no idea what size I wear. The xs was on the rack and one other much larger size so I tried the xs. I generally wear S or M petites or regular in tops but once in a while xs. Seemed to fit reasonably well so it came home with me although as I said earlier I thought it might be a little snug. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1826902 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 21:28:11 +0000 Tanya 1826902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely and unusual top.

This isn't a typical tunic look; it's a very different kind of style and feel, very hip and current looking. So I don't see it as a "return" to what you were trying to move away from, more of an update. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1826722 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 15:56:32 +0000 Chris987 1826722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Order placed for the red in one size up. It's back ordered to 8/9 so will pop back in with a review in a few weeks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1826710 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 15:32:28 +0000 Chris987 1826710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth you have to live in an antique house to know the names of those details! You are the first person I've "met" who knows about pumpkin pine, our house is full of it! Plus an orange tabby cat who looks brilliantly color coordinated with those floors when he sits and does the staring-into-space thing that so many cats do </p> <p>That door is one of three we added when we built some real closets many years ago near but not in the master bedroom. It came from a salvage place and matches many of the other doors we already had. Maybe we should have a pm session to discuss the joys of living in an antique house, how to strip paint etc etc </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1826706 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 15:30:53 +0000 Angie 1826706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea. Top has great potential, and you are a honey-pie as always.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1826702 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 15:27:40 +0000 Chris987 1826702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No angie I did not try a size up but it did occur to me that this one could be a little snug. I think I will order another one one size up even though I don't see this color online. Thanks for the suggestion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1826671 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 14:44:55 +0000 Beth 1826671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris, what caught my eye were those lovely wide plank wood floors (pumpkin pine, maybe?) with their deep burnish, and the mortise and tenon door with its hardware. We have an 1840s house, so not quite as old, but the details look familiar.</p> <p>OK, now back to fashion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1826664 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 14:40:28 +0000 Angie 1826664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the Find, Suz.</p> <p>Chis, did you try a size up too?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1826646 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 14:27:46 +0000 Chris987 1826646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all and special thanks to Suz for capturing a find...so thoughtful of you as always Suz! </p> <p>Beth thanks for the comment about my house. The original house was built in 1804 with various add-ons over the years. The area where my primary closet and mirror are is one of the few places we still have traditional colonial decor....we have gone to more modern variations in the rest of the house. I'm really over braided rugs but have not bothered to replace this one yet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1826617 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 13:51:07 +0000 Beth 1826617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this on you. The shape and split back are interesting and it's still comfortably covered up for chilly days.</p> <p>Also, I love what I can see of your house:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1826614 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 13:47:28 +0000 Lisa 1826614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great fit this is on you and that back is really neat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1826613 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 13:47:16 +0000 Anonymous 1826613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I reaaaally like it, Chris. Good shoulder fit and nice A-line look...and a little trendy to boot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1826607 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 13:26:22 +0000 Suz 1826607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great, Chris. There's a gorgeous cinnamon colour online, too. Here's the find for black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1826605 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 13:18:10 +0000 Jenn 1826605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1826604 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 13:15:01 +0000 Sara L. 1826604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great sweater! &nbsp;It looks good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1826602 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 13:12:14 +0000 nicoleb 1826602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh i love how it's longer in the back! Looks super comfy and cute! I'm a big Free People fan. I bought their open back sweater at last year's anniversary sale.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1826598 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 13:06:53 +0000 Alecia 1826598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! I'm trying to build my tunic options. Heading off to look at this one. Thanks for the review. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/free-people-split-back-turtleneck---keeper#post-1826596 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 13:03:18 +0000 Chris987 1826596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I picked this up in the store in size xs. It's a charcoal grey. The colors are different online. Can't do a find since my laptop is being repaired. It's hard to see the interesting seaming on the arms and body. I tried it on with some very dark wash skinny jeans and I LOVE it. Last winter I said I was done with the tunic/legging look but this has changed my mind. It may never be my primary look but it's good as a occasional outfit. Into the closet it goes with its receipt to settle down for a long summer nap. </p>
