And I'll go&nbsp; further to say&nbsp;<b>Carla</b> &amp;<b>Jessica</b> had a good idea with the added ribbon- just try it, too-but&nbsp; anyway, I wouldn't hide that collar (really fits your&nbsp; neck and hair!!). It is part of the design for&nbsp; a dressier vibe so &amp; would do a perfect job even&nbsp; for Xmass, too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue/page/2#post-2294890 Wed, 07 Dec 2022 07:37:12 +0000 rachylou 2294890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh gosh yeah - the rolled collar makes it. Fantastic sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue/page/2#post-2294859 Wed, 07 Dec 2022 02:45:45 +0000 Karie 2294859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet sister! This outfit is gorgeous. That red sweater is fantastic and so are the boots. Love, love, love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue/page/2#post-2294854 Wed, 07 Dec 2022 02:18:32 +0000 Zaeobi 2294854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahh, sometimes there's a reason why we put things in the holding zone that we soon forget - I've started to put my things in labelled bags (subdivided in the holding zone) to avoid this optimistic amnesia, lol... </p> <p>It should be mendable it if it's a small hole (I only know how to darn, so not technically an invisible repair) - but even if it's not doable, I guess it won't be a big risk to try (since it was in your holding zone anyway)? I've also got a pile up of mends to do, so in solidarity! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue/page/2#post-2294829 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 23:34:14 +0000 Jonesy 2294829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater is indeed amazing (I especially love it with the turtleneck tucked in) but I am sorry to hear about the hole! Fingers crossed you can mend it and then wear the heck out of it :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue/page/2#post-2294792 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 20:42:38 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2294792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sweater is the perfect shape and color for you -- I especially love the interest the sleeves add. And I love it every time the tartan boots come out to play. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294763 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 19:01:12 +0000 Minaminu 2294763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thank Goodness for the holding zone! it's a lovely colour and the sleeves are fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294755 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 18:32:08 +0000 Suz 2294755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie,</b> the hole is right in the front! I'm not sure how I missed it earlier in the day when I put it on -- it may in fact be a small tear instead of a moth hole, although again, not sure how it happened.&nbsp;</p> <p>But, I've just watched a video on how to mend it and I think it can be done. It is not a large hole at all. I have a few mending jobs like this to do and plan to get at it!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Roberta</b>, I love that visible mending, too -- so beautiful when done well. I think for this sweater it can be invisible, more or less...we shall see. I'll report back!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294753 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 18:21:30 +0000 Angie 2294753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*SOBBING*</p> <p>Where is the hole?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294750 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 18:12:06 +0000 Murph11 2294750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can do it, Suz! Watch a handful of videos and don't overthink it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294748 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 18:09:28 +0000 Roberta 2294748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How clever you are to tuck the collar inside! I would never have thought of that. And I agree, the sweater is perfect on you and how often does that happen?</p> <p>I have been exploring visible mending (sashiko is one name for it) since I have an excessively distressed pair of jeans. I haven't tried it yet, but the many examples on Pinterest are sooo cute! Here is a sample of a cashmere repair and a denim repair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294735 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 17:43:31 +0000 Suz 2294735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, an update -- sob! There's a moth hole in the sweater. I noticed it last night.&nbsp;</p> <p>I can't find anyone who does invisible mending in Victoria so I may have to learn how to do it myself to rescue this and a few others!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Zaeobi,</b> yes, the collar stays tucked just fine, no issues, if I roll it under. The problem with it when it is worn normally is that it feels a bit floppy somehow. So maybe a ribbon would make it stand up more. Interesting thought, <b>Carla</b>, and <b>Jessikams.</b> (Waving to my sweater twin!)&nbsp;</p> <p>I've definitely decided to keep and fix it and wear it more often after yesterday's experiment.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294716 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 15:32:21 +0000 Lesley 2294716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! I think the sleeve is super cool and you look cool head to toe in all three photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294710 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 14:51:44 +0000 Anonymous 2294710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a great shade of red on you. I like the side slits on the sweater and how it looks in both photos. What a great save. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294709 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 14:24:48 +0000 Zaeobi 2294709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joining the potential YLF mob that will form outside your door if you DON'T wear this jumper, lol! JK, I do understand your issue - I felt the neckline on that teal Boden jumper I ordered was smaller than I'm used to, which did give me pause. Does the collar of your jumper stay tucked when you wear it like that? </p> <p>I have a similar jumper with hip splits &amp; find it can overwhelm me if not worn a particular way, so I sympathise - can you do a half tuck with it? I like how the blouson sleeves have a slightly architectural quality - not too drapey. </p> <p>That shade of red suits you perfectly btw - it's festive whilst not being 'too much' for the rest of the year, IYKWIM. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294697 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 13:02:52 +0000 Anonymous 2294697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow- it's great on you! Yes, tucking the collar definitely works better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294694 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 12:45:14 +0000 Bijou 2294694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie has spoken!</p> <p>I like this both ways. The collar is not too different from a popped collar on a shirt or jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294683 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 11:34:54 +0000 Jessikams 2294683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think I have the same sweater in navy! I had trouble with it too, until I decided to just think of it like a sweatshirt. Same loose cut and length, if you know what I mean. Also I’ve done what runcarla suggests and sometimes emphasize the neck with a bow or a big necklace. I think it works well with our short hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294630 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 02:19:43 +0000 Jaime 2294630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like a fine wine, this sweater just had to age a bit to be appreciated ! Love it on you, both ways. Just a different vibe. Sleeves are magnificent.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294625 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 01:41:54 +0000 Dee 2294625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, you and Lisa talking about the lighting and what your husbands ( and a cat) would think about what you get up to taking these photos, just had me in stitches because I'm sure my husband wouldn't get it either lol.</p> <p>BTW Suz, you had that sweater stuck in a holding pattern for a few years ?<br /> For shame, its too fab on you to languish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294617 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 01:18:39 +0000 Janet 2294617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, so I have to say I understand the dilemma! I have trouble with collars that are "unusual." I can't do any kind of cowl or saggy neckline anymore -- it just calls too much attention to the thing happening to my aging neckline and neck. I have let go of some weird neckline tops that are neither here nor there, if you know what I mean -- not a turtleneck but sort of a small mock neck? They're just not good on me. Or if it's a neckline that doesn't stay where I put it. Fussy and fidgety, ugh, no.</p> <p>However, I love that you have the option of turning the collar on this in, so that it's a nice crew neck if you aren't feeling the collar up. The color is great on you, as is the fit, and the sleeve is very current. I say enjoy and wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294610 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 00:34:24 +0000 CarolS 2294610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a beautiful sweater, Suz, and even better that you have options to make it suit your mood and purpose on any given day.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294606 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 00:30:57 +0000 LJP 2294606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Helena -&nbsp;<i></i>I saw those CM sweatshirts at the Bay the other day and thought I'd buy my husb one for a Christmas gift. Until I looked at the price. &nbsp;<i></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294604 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 00:24:05 +0000 Kyle 2294604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me, having the collar up really makes this sweater and sets it apart. I also feel it draws attention to your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294592 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 22:58:54 +0000 Helena 2294592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ummm yeah this is absolutely stunning on you Love the turned down neck. Great adjustment to make it feel better for you!</p> <p>Side note ... I am so tempted by the CM heritage sweatshirts! That store has been amazing since forever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294588 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 22:53:56 +0000 Carla 2294588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh! &nbsp;I’d lean into the frilly collar, and tie a contrasting (black) ribbon or thin scarf around it with a bow and tails up front. Sort of Victoriana. Saw it in a fashion editorial just the other day. &nbsp;Will try to find a photo… </p> <p>ETA photo: p. 15 November edition of RED.UK</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294574 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 22:16:57 +0000 Suz 2294574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, <b>SF</b>. I promise if I tire of it, I will find out where you are located. :)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Lisa</b>, that's hilarious. Mr. Suz has no idea what I am doing with the lights. I set them up quick and then hide them behind my chair when I am done. The cat, however, thinks I'm insane. I did leave one of them up because clearly I need more light than I have.&nbsp;</p> <p>I know you are a Club Monaco shopper from way back. They really did used to have great stuff. I don't know about now. <b>Roxanna</b> has done well there over the years, too. </p> <p>Old Navy has been surprisingly good this year! I just ordered the sweatsuit you mentioned to Chris except in the wild current colour. A middle aged colour, maybe, but oh well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294572 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 22:10:28 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2294572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, doesn’t work at all and is a terrible garment. Wrap it up right away and send it to me immediately, so you don’t have to deal with its loveliness anymore Hahahahaha. (Translation: perfect length &amp; color, and those balloon sleeves that become reasonable again by your wrists are tdf). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294556 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 21:41:50 +0000 LJP 2294556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What the ?? I’m with Angie here - what’s the matter with you ? Lol . This is an awesome sweater ! </p> <p>As an aside - I too am wearing an old CM top today and those same jeans in black . Actually took some photos but I suffer the same issue as you do with lighting . The pictures - and thus me - just look so blah . I’m not about to go hanging up clip lights and other assorted improvements though - husband would die if he knew why . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holding-zone-rescue#post-2294554 Mon, 05 Dec 2022 21:38:37 +0000 Suz 2294554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Chris</b> and <b>Jenn</b>.
