Plus, you can't beat that price - I vote keep! I like it best tucked into the skirt and agree that it would look great untucked with jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater/page/2#post-517422 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 02:54:42 +0000 Vix 517422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blouse's colors look gorgeous on you and as others have said, this will be sharp for work with the skirt (or play with jeans). </p> <p>It's pretty sheer, so for work I'd try layering a long-sleeve T under it unless you're topping it with a jacket/sweater. Bonus: warmer!</p> <p>Generally, people who look amazing in colors like those in the blouse can't wear things the color of the sweater whether they are "winter pale" or not, ha.* I know it's cozy, but I vote "no" for this color on you...maybe it comes in deeper neutrals?</p> <p>* I know it's all relative, but this struck (super-pale) me as super-funny given your lovely rich skintone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater/page/2#post-517393 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 02:11:43 +0000 catgirl 517393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! Looks like the blouse is a keeper. I agree it's too long untucked with the skirt, I just needed to show you all the length. I'm hoping it will work as both a casual and a formal item for me. </p> <p>Ornella, I do need a truly non-UWP wardrobe for work. I'm not sure there are any UWP looks suitable for court or professional meetings - though I'd love to know if there are!</p> <p>Mochi, thanks for the tip! I am worried about tearing this - between kid, dog and cat (as well as general clumsiness)! I figure it's as good a bargain as I'll get on one of these shirts, and if it gets destroyed, I'll have learned my lesson.</p> <p>The sweater may not be a great color for me - I'll post some new photos. I am excessively pale (for me) right now, at the height of the winter season.</p> <p>All your thoughts are much appreciated, as always! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater/page/2#post-517385 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 01:55:33 +0000 Jaime 517385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you kidding me? That blouse looks amazing on you. I love picture 1 and 2. LOVE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517381 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 01:52:46 +0000 Angie 517381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER blouse. </p> <p>Love it tucked into this particular skirt - sans the jumper. </p> <p>But I think with skinnies, it will look great layered and un-tucked! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517320 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 00:19:26 +0000 Reneeb 517320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the blouse tucked and the colors look so vibrant.. I think you look so pretty in bright colors. I would keep the blouse and if you need a comfy sweater I would keep it for that price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517290 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 00:00:57 +0000 Anonymous 517290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the blouse on you Una. The sweater is reading *pastel* to me and I think a darker charcoal might look better next to your face. I love the shape of it for your style, though. If you keep the blouse and return the sweater, you only cheated on your SYC by $10, right? So it doesn't even really count, I'm thinkin. Do you have a great jacket/blazer you can wear over this outfit instead? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517282 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 23:55:23 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 517282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blouse is a keeper, easy. </p> <p>Not sure on the sweater - I'm thinking the same as Kari. The color here does not look great. I would like to see it with some neutrals or in natural light before deciding. I do like the shape, however. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517277 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 23:48:24 +0000 Jonesy 517277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both of these! I think they will be workhorses for you. I could totally see the sweater over the blouse with some dark denim skinnies; with the skirt, the proportions just look slightly off to my eye. </p> <p>Aren't sales fun? I just got an amazing structured jacket at Ann Taylor for $30! And a bright magenta silk blouse at J. Crew for $30! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517272 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 23:46:07 +0000 Ornella 517272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both pieces, but not necessarily together. </p> <p>Without reading other responses, here is what I think of them on you.<br /> The sweater looks a bit plain and would always need something this strongly colored to support it. Which can be sorted with the layering tee or scarf, I guess. Or a hat... I am not coloring expert, but it looks to me like it might make you look pale if you're not careful.</p> <p>The blouse is vibrant and colorful, but in my view a bit harsh and too formal for<br /> you. Those stripes are difficult to pull of for UWP. I've had a wardrobe full of striped banker style shirts that have been whittled down to a few I absolutely adore - all others had to go, no amount of soft vests or cardigans could soften the look.</p> <p>Just my two pennies worth... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517216 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 23:16:24 +0000 Lisa 517216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great new pieces. What an eye your SA has. These bright colors are wonderful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517143 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 22:12:02 +0000 rae 517143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks amazing tucked!!! I vote keep based on that. Though I think it's too long for you untucked... don't know if that is a problem for you or not. </p> <p>I do like the sweater, but probably only with brights... I think it would kinda be like a pastel alone next to your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517113 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 21:34:40 +0000 cciele 517113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way the blouse and shirt look together! You look wonderful in vibrant hues. The sweater looks like a great basic. I actually like how it looks with the skirt and with the shirt peeping out. It's a variation on the bright pants formula Angie posted (bright bottoms, striped shirt, grey topper) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517101 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 21:25:06 +0000 Transcona Shannon 517101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt and blouse are GORGEOUS Una, both separate, and especially together! I love the blouse tucked in as it gives you a longer leg line. Gotta be honest and say I'm not loving the sweater with this outfit. But the blouse and skirt together are DIVINE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517065 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 21:03:20 +0000 Travelgal Nicole 517065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you styled the blouse in #1&amp;2. The colours are gorgeous and go really well with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517053 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:59:29 +0000 Samar 517053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blouse untucked also. I like seeing the undershirt "grin" (is that right Angie?:)) through the sheer fabric. And I think the colors are so lively and fresh. Really nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517032 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:50:49 +0000 cinnamon fern 517032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shirt looks fantastic! I vote return on the sweater, or better yet (if possible) exchange for a different color - I am not convinced it is the best color on you, but the shape is good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517023 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:45:46 +0000 Kyle 517023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly? I like the blouse a lot. Looks great with the skirt and the sweater and I think you will wear these pieces a lot. Enjoy your fab new look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517022 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:44:52 +0000 Kyle 517022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly?

The sweater looks like a nice basic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517018 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:40:45 +0000 Sona 517018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AG: I agree that the skirt is a total winner. no way can you take it back Missy even if it hasn't been altered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517012 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:36:44 +0000 Isis 517012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the blouse! Proportion-wise, I like it best tucked with the skirt, but you could wear it untucked with skinnies or other pants.....</p> <p>I like the sweater too, but not sure about the cool color with the warmer blouse and skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517005 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:31:28 +0000 Jjsloane 517005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the blouse colors and tucked with the skirt. I like the grey sweater but also feel it's either too pale or cool with this and too short for the length of the shirt untucked (but only a little bit) Keep both - make them work! Great bargain on the blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517002 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:30:18 +0000 Mochi 517002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater is a good basic, if you don't have something similar already...as for the blouse, it is a sharp (good, IOW) look for you--colorful, mod, work-appropriate, etc etc. My caveat, since I ordered another Equipment blouse two months ago, is simply that they are extremely delicate and at the same time, wicked expensive (though you got a better deal than I did, at $115). If you can wear yours without fear of tearing it, then it's a keeper. I stupidly had velcro near it (from my arm sling) and the next thing I knew, there were all sorts of tiny threads sticking out of it. But that's me; I'm still in the process of learning to be nice to my clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-517000 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:27:17 +0000 CocoLion 517000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! I got this same blouse a few months ago but returned it because I was trying not to buy Made in China so much. But I love the blouse. I think it goes beautifully with the grey cashmere sweater (but I would tuck it in, or wear it with a longer sweater if you're going for an untucked look). It's great on its own with the skirt or you could pair it with skinnies. So I vote keep for both pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-516994 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:23:07 +0000 Kappy 516994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shirt untucked with the skirt (just love seeing that sheerness over the skirt especially the orange stripe...when it is tucked it seems like the oranges clash a bit but it might just be the lighting). I like the sweater with it but would prefer to see the grey repeated somewhere; do you have grey shoes or boots? </p> <p>I think it makes sense: the neutrals are very UWP but the brights look so good with your coloring (and are maybe essential for surviving the dark winters??). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-516983 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:17:40 +0000 catgirl 516983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sona, the skirt's already been altered in the hips (it's the Halogen skirt) so it's a keeper now, and I'm finding it fun to experiment. Thanks for the shirt boost! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-516981 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:16:13 +0000 catgirl 516981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, thanks! I'll post a separate photo (my camera battery just died). It is a cool pale icy grey - not heather, but definitely light. It is unbelievably warm for such an airy looking sweater, which I guess is true of cashmere. I feel like my wardrobe is schitzophrenic - half eye-searing brights, half wintery neutrals and black... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-516980 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:15:28 +0000 Sona 516980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the blouse. I like the skirt and sweater too actually. all keepers in my book unless you have one too many grey sweaters? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-equipment-blouse-and-cashmere-sweater#post-516978 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:14:31 +0000 Stephanie 516978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the silhouette of this outfit a lot, but I think I'd prefer it if the sweater were another bright color from the blouse. (As I remember, you look great in cobalt!) But I think I would like the grey sweater paired with less intense colors--and the shape does seem sort of UWP. </p>
