You look great --- super colours and a beautiful shape. I'm awfully jealous of you just now! </p> <p>You mentioned a possible itch factor though --- what's the fabrication? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-833983 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:40:04 +0000 Aida 833983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot, the colors are really good on you! It looks fab both open and closed, you get very different architecture depending on which way it is. Could be fun with faded denim and booties for a more boho look, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-833737 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 21:01:01 +0000 nancylee 833737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the styling tips, everyone! </p> <p>Una, I'm just shy of 5' 5"...so I'm pretty average. I have long legs, which makes me look taller. And a flattering mirror! So great to hear I'm in style with the Sundance set. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832926 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 05:11:14 +0000 Kiwibird 832926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sweater Nancylee! The colours are gorgeous and it'll go with so many colours. I like it every way you've styled it - and it doesn't look too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832923 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 05:07:28 +0000 Kiwichik 832923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it in all it's incarnations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832896 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 04:40:17 +0000 Amy 832896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So good to see you again. I adore that sweater! Wear it lots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832881 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 04:19:27 +0000 catgirl 832881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE this! In fact, I've been spying around for something similar in shape for me after seeing so many people wear this look at Sundance. It's not a waterfall cardi, or even really a cardi - more of a shawl/poncho with arms, and you look super-fantastic in it. How tall are you? You look so tall in this outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832782 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 03:07:54 +0000 Suz 832782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to see you, Nancy! </p> <p>This sweater seems like the perfect combo of your arty/ edgy side with your boho side. It's a bit of both! Love the warm colours and its ease. It IS a lot of sweater, but worn with the jeans it works easily. With the skirt, I agree it might look better with tights or tall boots vs. booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832737 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 02:26:54 +0000 nancylee 832737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your always insightful observations, dear YLFers. Looks like this sweater is earning a place in my closet. A "killer" from Angie is hard to ignore! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832685 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 01:48:29 +0000 Angie 832685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>Your colours and a terrific look to boot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832672 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 01:35:45 +0000 Jaime 832672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it open and closed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832645 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 01:08:21 +0000 Beth Ann 832645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nancy: What warm, lovely colors! I agree that it's a lot of sweater, but I think the fact that the sleeves fit well, and you have plenty of height, makes it work for you. This sweater can work as outerwear, too. I layered a grey sweater like this over a t and v-neck pullover, wearing it instead of a coat in 45 degree weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832615 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 00:50:12 +0000 Carole 832615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So good to see you, Nancy. Love the sweater and the asymmetrical design. I like it in all the examples. Very fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832603 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 00:37:49 +0000 Jjsloane 832603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colors and like it best in #1. It is a bit overwhelming on lovely diminutive you, but for cold days it's a nice "I'm at the ski lodge hanging out" look. I do not care for it with the skirt, maybe with some taller boots though to ballance the bigger sweater?</p> <p>ETA: save it for next week when we'll be back in winter (not like today??? 70???) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832590 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 00:31:32 +0000 unfrumped 832590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It IS a lotta sweater. I do love the colors and the texture. Do you feel overwhelmed by the volume or does it fit as a kind of statement?<br /> I was lusting after this Nic and Zoe sweater from Nordstom and your interest in asymmetrical fastenings brought it to mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832570 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 00:01:49 +0000 nancylee 832570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the votes of confidence, everyone. So interesting that many/most of you prefer it unbuttoned....I had thought everyone would go for it buttoned. </p> <p>Cinnamon, I like your suggestion of unbuttoned for the jeans and buttoned for the skirt. I can see how those combos work best.</p> <p>missvee, I plan to do some playing around in my closet at the end of this week. I'll try the black boots/tights/skirt look then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832552 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 23:39:23 +0000 missvee 832552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this sweater, especially with the pants in 1,2,&amp;3. I'm wondering how it would look with the skirt, with black tights and boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832508 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:55:17 +0000 Mochi 832508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's beautiful and the coloring is great for you. I also prefer it unbuttoned. You look awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832502 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:52:11 +0000 amiable 832502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

I prefer it unbuttoned with jeans, but buttoned with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832454 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:05:59 +0000 pil 832454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like! Agree with Anne about it looking best open : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832438 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:54:01 +0000 Anonymous 832438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your new sweater! I like it best worn open. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832437 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:54:00 +0000 sarah 832437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! Thumbs up from me. It looks cozy, comfy, stylish, and very you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-backwith-a-whole-lotta-sweater#post-832433 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:51:22 +0000 nancylee 832433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm back after not being around much so far this year. It was part computer problems and part my attempt to put some limits on my online time. BUT, my computer is up to speed now and I needs me some YLF time! So, here I am....</p> <p>...with a whole lotta sweater! What do you think? I'm slightly obsessed with asymmetrical cuts as a way to add some arty edge to my minimal elegant style. This cardigan is from Splendid and it's...um....kinda big! The collar is much bigger and more unwieldy that I expected. When I first unpacked it I wanted to send it right back, but the more I fiddled with it the more it seemed to fall into place. It has a tiny bit of itch factor that worries me.....but I'm also thinking it's kinda cool. And I want to inject some more interesting pieces into my rather low-key wardrobe.</p> <p>Most of these photos make it look much more orangey red and bright than it is in real llfe. Only #1 captures the actual color. Opinions?</p> <p>#1- unbuttoned with straight leg denim (most accurate color depiction)<br /> #2 - unbuttoned with denim (again)<br /> #3 - buttoned with denim<br /> #4 - unbuttoned with midi skirt/booties<br /> #5 - buttoned with midi/booties </p>
