I keep meaning to buy a new one, but it's one of those things that I don't enjoy shopping for so I keep putting it off. I only ever wear buttondowns as layering pieces, so I think I'll just get a cheap sleeveless one (which Old Navy happens to have right now).</p> <p>April, I was wondering about necklaces in general. I wasn't sure if they would compete with the lacing or not.</p> <p>As for the bow, I will try doing it upside down...if I'm understanding it correctly. It amazes me that in all of internetland, there are no good instructions on this subject. There are pages upon pages on how to tie a bow tie, and how to tie many intricate and elaborate decorative bows to put on gift boxes. But tying a simple, neat bow is somehow just not relevant. I just can't seem to get it to be symmetrical. On top of that, I have to do it while I'm wearing it. I can't lace it up properly unless I have it on my body, otherwise it ends up being too loose or tight or inconsistent. Hmm, well you ladies have convinced me that it is worth the fight though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura-sweater-keep#post-75680 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 14:53:23 +0000 Kristen 75680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty and unusual; a definite keeper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura-sweater-keep#post-75645 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 11:41:44 +0000 Laura 75645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Angie's suggestion of how to wear the sweater. How cute would that be for fall? </p> <p>My mom always tied bows by making rabbit ears first (i.e. starting with two loops) ... it does make a prettier bow. April, what is your bow trick? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura-sweater-keep#post-75635 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 10:40:05 +0000 April 75635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, this is wonderful on you, no doubt a keeper. Forgive me for wondering if the lovely coral color might go beautifully with your deep red-and-white-pearl necklace? </p> <p>Bows are notoriously difficult. It this makes any sense at all, try tying the bow upside down from the way you actually want it to go. If that sounds about as simple as making an origami crane, let me know and I'll try to give step-by-step instructions. I do some paper crafting and learned this trick about bows -- which EVERYONE has trouble with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura-sweater-keep#post-75626 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 07:51:58 +0000 rute 75626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so gorgeous and so flattering! You can use it with neutral pants or skirt (beije, brown, denin, white) and a neutral round colar shirt (beije, white). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura-sweater-keep#post-75622 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 05:43:58 +0000 Angie 75622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dear Maya, why are you unsure? It’s beautiful quality, a unique colour, an interesting style and fits like a glove. What’s not to love? For starters, I’d like to see it over a white button down with skirt and boots – your brown tweed skirt perhaps? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura-sweater-keep#post-75617 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 04:33:55 +0000 Maya 75617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone. Taylor, it is not an orphan, just not something I was sure about. I kept forgetting to take pictures of it until my most recent closet sweep. I actually really love it in terms of color (which is almost more of a coral than the rosey pink it is in the picture), material, and style. It's very unique, sweet, and cozy. I just didn't know if this kind of closure was flattering on a fuller bust. But, if everyone gives it the thumbs up, then I can't disagree. Of course, I'm always interested to hear Angie's take! </p> <p>Bella, I hadn't thought about swapping out the laces. I don't mind the material at all, but it could be kind of fun to have a variety to work with. Maybe some kind of ribbon for more festive occasions, though that might look a bit cheesy. Worth a shot though.</p> <p>It's really quite a luxury for me. I could never afford cashmere on my own dime! So Laura has a special place in my heart, hehe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura-sweater-keep#post-75614 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 04:09:29 +0000 taylor 75614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I like it, and seems if everyone else does also...but is it a closet orphan? If you have had it a long time and don't wear it , perhaps it just isn't really you. </p> <p>I have a couple things like that as well. I loved when I brought them home and now...I am just not sure what it is..fit, color, shape..all of the above, but just hate to part with. </p> <p>Otherwise it looks great ,so I say keep, if you think you will wear:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura-sweater-keep#post-75606 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 03:31:43 +0000 Anonymous 75606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! It looks like a nice fit, not pulling or baggy, the color is gorgeous, and the style is an interesting variation of the traditional cardi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura-sweater-keep#post-75598 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 02:40:42 +0000 Laura 75598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! (totally unbiased opinion of course) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura-sweater-keep#post-75585 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 01:14:55 +0000 bella 75585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sweater looks super cozy. If you are not particularly happy with the laces, how about replacing them with something more of your style like leather straps or lace? It should be pretty inexpensive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura-sweater-keep#post-75573 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 23:32:29 +0000 Ana 75573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it makes you look particularly busty. I vote keep, especially if it's comfy and you like the color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura-sweater-keep#post-75565 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 23:00:23 +0000 Anonymous 75565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that color on you and the sweater looks so soft and cute.<br /> I cannot tell if it is too big for you with your arm up like that with the camera. Do you think it is too big in the shoulders?<br /> The laces are so cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laura-sweater-keep#post-75562 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 22:47:37 +0000 Maya 75562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got this sweater many moons go from lovely Laura at the YLF convention. I haven't really worn it because I'm just not sure if it's flattering or not. The color is gorgeous and it's sooo soft and luxurious, but I just can't determine if this laceup thing is the best thing for busty me.</p> <p>It's a bit sloppy since I haven't re-laced it yet, but you get the general idea.</p> <p><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/ranabow/IMG_1856.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/alb.....G_1856.jpg</a></p> <p>Should I try lacing it differently? Tying it differently (I do not know how to tie a nice bow to save my life)? Or is it fine as is (with a little tidying up?) </p>
