That makes me so sad.<br />Shevia--thanks for the comment on the jeans! The plaid top can be seen peaking out of a pullover&nbsp;in this thread. I am probably returning it.&nbsp;&nbsp;returning:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-two-sweaters?replies=17#post-1351718">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....st-1351718</a><br />Amiable, thanks. I am in love with it over the black jersey H&amp;M tunic. Is the all saints cardigan you are thinking of the one Alaskagirl linked to? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-plaid-shirt-and-drapey-thingy#post-1351764 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 02:52:20 +0000 Jaime 1351764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the drapey thing on you. I like the plaid shirt but would like to see it with a topper over it. I do like your wide cuffed jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-plaid-shirt-and-drapey-thingy#post-1351762 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 02:50:39 +0000 annagybe 1351762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the tunic is acrylic, I'd return.

It is the strangest thing. At least that all saints cardigan--which is awesome!--looks like a cardigan, albeit a rather skewed to one side one, lol! </p> <p>ETA: I just clicked over to see it--I see what you mean,now, with it all done up. And it is mesh! sigh. So fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-plaid-shirt-and-drapey-thingy#post-1351737 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 02:17:28 +0000 catgirl 1351737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love the drapey thing!&nbsp; It has a cool Allsaints vibe to it.&nbsp; I think it's fun and flattering.&nbsp; Does it hang open or pull over your head? </p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.us.allsaints.com/women/sweaters/allsaints-raze-drina-cardigan/?colour=5&amp;category=26" rel="nofollow">http://www.us.allsaints.com/wo.....ategory=26</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-plaid-shirt-and-drapey-thingy#post-1351736 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 02:16:32 +0000 Alana in Canada 1351736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, so as promised, a picture of the drapey thingy with my H&amp;M black jersey light weight tunic. (and everything over leggings.)<br />And you know what: finally, today,&nbsp;I feel warm!<br />Anyway: does this change things? Maybe this drapey thing is a thing for skirts--and not pants. What do we think of it, now?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-plaid-shirt-and-drapey-thingy#post-1349929 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 03:57:36 +0000 Alana in Canada 1349929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Deborah! I will. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-plaid-shirt-and-drapey-thingy#post-1349917 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 03:43:54 +0000 Deborah 1349917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try it over the tunic:)&nbsp; You may find it's too much but your don't really know until you try!&nbsp; You may be surprised. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-plaid-shirt-and-drapey-thingy#post-1349771 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 01:00:05 +0000 Alana in Canada 1349771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna--why? Sorry to keep pressing, but I am an analytical gal. I respect your "eye" so if it is a "gut" thing, enuf said.</p> <p>Windchime--yes, these are the SE petty's I have been having such a hard time with. I've got super thin sock on today--so they just might be able to stay in my capsule.I have never seen my feet so sleek.</p> <p>Deborah! Oh my goodness, I was just thinking I "needed" to find a piece to layer over my black tunic from H&amp;M. <i>This</i> just might do it. I need to try that.<span>&nbsp;I do have a jersey knit turtleneck I bought at the same sale--but it doesn't help us lengthwise.&nbsp;<br /></span><br />Lisap--well, this is what happens whenever Angie posts an Ensemble--I always wantto see if I can recreate them, so that's probably where the hyperfocus on this one came from. It looks fabulous with a cable sweater I purchased (I haven't k/r'd it yet as the pics are too&nbsp;blurry.) But, I am not attached to it, at all. Now--a blackand white buffalo check--wouldn't <b>that</b> be awesome?</p> <p>Thistle, thanks for chiming in. Yes, I need to think on these a bit, still.</p> <p>Suz-- it says 100% acrylic. That's no help, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-plaid-shirt-and-drapey-thingy#post-1349697 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 23:52:45 +0000 annagybe 1349697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the drapey top is a close but not quite there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-plaid-shirt-and-drapey-thingy#post-1349695 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 23:51:15 +0000 Windchime 1349695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of it on you a lot, Alana. I think you will find ways to style the plaid shirt so it feels polished and/or jazzy.</p> <p>The style of the drapey thing (lol) looks wonderful on you, imo. Would you want to look for a similar piece in a longer length? Cute jeans, too. And do I see ankle boots?! You are really making progress on your cold weather capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-plaid-shirt-and-drapey-thingy#post-1349694 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 23:50:23 +0000 Deborah 1349694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alana, keep in mind both thoughts are due to my personal bias:)&nbsp; I am not loving the plaid shirt for you.&nbsp; To my mind, it doesn't fit with there I thought you were headed??</p> <p>The draped top is fab (but you knew I would say that right:) )&nbsp; I love the two tone of it and the drape looks good, not too much, just enough.&nbsp; Is this the only way it can be worn??&nbsp; The length looks fine to me, but you could layer a tunic underneath it if you want more length.&nbsp; I would like to see some more stylings as I suspect it could become a workhorse for you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-plaid-shirt-and-drapey-thingy#post-1349689 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 23:43:36 +0000 Anonymous 1349689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll join Thistle here: &nbsp;the plaid shirt does not say jazzy or polished to me. &nbsp;Colourwise it's good, but doesn't read as anything interesting on the screen. &nbsp;Doesn't strike me as your look - whereas the buffalo plaid did...(more dramatic in colour, striking, more polished....)</p> <p>I like the drapey thingy - but I have a personal aversion to things with different coloured backs from sleeves from fronts etc. &nbsp;Sometimes it can make the garment look cheap - as in thrown together from ends of rolls of fabric, Other times it works - but I can't tell any fabric or colour variation from this photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-plaid-shirt-and-drapey-thingy#post-1349682 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 23:36:41 +0000 Thistle 1349682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spanner here. While I like the plaid shirt, I am not sure it is your style. If you like it and will wear it, I say keep. Even if not your style, it could stretch your style boundaries.</p> <p>The black drapey top looks really nice on you. I would keep it if you will wear it. Would return if you think it will bug you and won't actually wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-plaid-shirt-and-drapey-thingy#post-1349677 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 23:33:05 +0000 Suz 1349677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shirt! It's a super colour for you and will be really versatile, I predict.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also love the drapey thing. From the front it looks amazing!&nbsp;What is it made from? I wonder if you could stretch the length a bit by hand when it is wet?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-plaid-shirt-and-drapey-thingy#post-1349661 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 23:22:18 +0000 Alana in Canada 1349661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>annagybe--what's bugging you about the drapey thingy?</p> <p>Tanya--thanks! narrower, got it. Yeah, I'm glad you see what I mean about the length.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-plaid-shirt-and-drapey-thingy#post-1349619 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 22:55:39 +0000 Tanya 1349619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the plaid shirt works really well.&nbsp; The cuffs on the jeans are in good place, I would just roll them a little narrower.&nbsp; I do not see anything wrong with the drapey cardigan, though I see what you mean about the length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-plaid-shirt-and-drapey-thingy#post-1349617 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 22:54:40 +0000 annagybe 1349617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the plaid shirt.

If so, just say so and I'll re-take and we won't waste any time or create any&nbsp;wrinkles trying to squint at the screen, OK?</p> <p><b>Plaid Shirt:</b><br />This is a light weight poly cotton, good for layering under things--and with a white Tee underneath could be warm enough for winter. (Once we turn the heating on, of course. Now can be&nbsp;actually colder than December because we don't.)<br />The first question: I like the plaid, I know the colour suits, but is it my "style?" I know I am in the midst of creating one: I have two words, "polished and jazzy." </p> <p>Second: is the cut Ok?&nbsp;</p> <p>Third--the roll on the pants! Advice, please? I have no idea what I am doing.</p> <p><b>Drapey Thing:</b><br />This is very odd. It has no buttons or closures. It just sits there. Kind of. I would likely have to figure something out, somehow. The sleeves and back are a different colour than the front. I think it is my "jazzy" style, for sure--the boots and pants make it polished. This time the main concern is--does it look OK? I really would like it onger--especially when viewed from the side--but what do you all think? Is it OK?</p> <p>PS: sorry about the stateof that mirror.&nbsp;</p>
