"</p> <p>when you 1st put them on your like I can’t..." I know that feeling SO well. This is one of the best outfits you've posted recently, to my eye - the fit of both sweater and pants LOOKS amazing on you. But I fully appreciate that feel problem! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-15-stripes#post-2378760 Sun, 19 Jan 2025 02:14:09 +0000 Jaime 2378760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you look fantastic but I hear you about the fit of the items. I would wear a cami under the sweater but no suggestion for the just a bit too tight or high jeans except wash them rarely . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-15-stripes#post-2378715 Sat, 18 Jan 2025 16:52:04 +0000 slim cat 2378715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit - the boots are gorgeous and the sweater/jeans combo looks fresh! I like the idea of pairing the cardigan with different jeans ( or skirt in spring ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-15-stripes#post-2378712 Sat, 18 Jan 2025 16:46:21 +0000 Angie 2378712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"happy dance"</p> <p>;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-15-stripes#post-2378692 Sat, 18 Jan 2025 13:08:11 +0000 kkards 2378692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie — I don’t know what I’d do with white/cream boots and I don’t know why I resisted for so long. &nbsp;But you totally converted me! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-15-stripes#post-2378645 Fri, 17 Jan 2025 20:14:09 +0000 Suz 2378645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The devil really is in the details, right? What a shame about the fit of these two amazing items. The kind of thing it's hard to evaluate when you first try something on. But pairing them is ideal, since the slightly too short sweater works well with the higher rise. <b>LOVE</b> both items, by the way, and the outfit looks great, even if it does not feel perfect.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-15-stripes#post-2378643 Fri, 17 Jan 2025 20:10:32 +0000 Jenni NZ 2378643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow your figure looks amazing in this outfit!

It’s snowed a little bit every day this January and we are not a city that cleans up snow really well, so the streets are a mess of sludge and ice, and it’s been cold. So yesterday’s jeans were picked because the straight leg could be turned up or tucked easily into outdoor boots, and these are a heavier denim than my wide leg jeans. And I’m already fussing over what I’m going to wear next week when the high will be 15F/-10C. &nbsp;I think the last couple of years spoiled me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-15-stripes#post-2378615 Fri, 17 Jan 2025 17:26:22 +0000 Roberta 2378615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans look better on you than they do on the model, especially with the sharp boots. If you know they are going to ease up eventually . . .</p> <p>I have a pair of jeans that always end up sliding down - a lower rise that stretches out. They look great, so I don't get rid of them, but they don't get worn very often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-15-stripes#post-2378603 Fri, 17 Jan 2025 16:06:47 +0000 Star (Lise) 2378603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those jeans look so good. Such a pity they not that comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-15-stripes#post-2378602 Fri, 17 Jan 2025 15:56:07 +0000 Carla 2378602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good styling suggestions from&nbsp;<b>Lisa&nbsp;</b>regarding pairing the sweater with wider legged jeans. &nbsp;That said, I like the ‘bookending’ of the booties with the white stripes, which elevates the whole. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-15-stripes#post-2378601 Fri, 17 Jan 2025 15:48:53 +0000 Cookie 2378601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love the length of the sweater but would probably prefer it with a skirt or dress or, as Lisa said, wider-leg jeans. Or what if you untucked the shirt under it? It’s very cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-15-stripes#post-2378596 Fri, 17 Jan 2025 14:14:53 +0000 Dee 2378596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I hear you on some high-waisted jeans, can be too constricting for sure, I have a similar pair of jeans that I hesitate to wear. Your jeans look good despite its potential discomfort..Always love a great striped cardigan, and the white boots tie nicely with the stripes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-15-stripes#post-2378595 Fri, 17 Jan 2025 13:28:05 +0000 RobinF 2378595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked at the pictures before reading your notes and thought "wow, that makes her look really tall" so I guess that is one of the results of the cropped sweater/high waisted jeans combination. I like Lisa's idea of wide leg jeans with that sweater.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-15-stripes#post-2378590 Fri, 17 Jan 2025 12:42:26 +0000 Lisa 2378590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this pairing of the white boots to pick up the white stripes of the sweater. Really sharp. The colored sleeves for this sweater is a nice dash of color! This is a great sweater you can style it in so many ways.<div><br /></div><div>We have similar style and I’ve also paired a striped navy and white sweater with white or ivory jeans too. Could be fun to try.</p> <p>As for the sweater length, do&nbsp;you have any wide leg jeans? For myself I prefer shorter length sweaters like this one with a fuller bottom like with high rise wide leg jeans for a fun juxtaposition. I actually wore a shorter sweater with wide leg jeans yesterday I just need to get around to posting the WIW.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jan-challenge-day-15-stripes#post-2378589 Fri, 17 Jan 2025 12:30:39 +0000 kkards 2378589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today’s outfit is a sweater and jeans that I love In theory but only like in real life. &nbsp;The jeans seem fabulous, they fit really well, they’re a heavier weight so perfect for winter. &nbsp;But, well they a smidge too high a rise, so that when you 1st put them on your like I can’t..and honestly I almost didn’t. &nbsp;But i know that because they are 100% cotton they will loosen up as the day goes on. And they did, but still not as comfortable as the 501s which are basically the same &nbsp;general silhouette. &nbsp;The sweater - love the stripes, love the colors, but again the cut is just a smidge off. &nbsp;I’d love it to be about 1/2 longer and hit me more where it hits on the model. &nbsp;Anyway I do wear both of these pieces, they just aren’t the pieces that I reach for all the time or when I’m looking for a FFBO&nbsp;</p> <p>thanks for looking. &nbsp;As always all comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated&nbsp;</p>
