I'm not sold on #2 - it may be the bare arms. What happened to the shirt sleeves - are they rolled up under the sweater...or did you cut them off...so many questions ;-)<br />hope you are keeping well! s </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boxy-love#post-1216307 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 15:03:51 +0000 amiable 1216307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like it - especially for Spring. &nbsp;And I think you're right about the sweater in #2 - it's really not big, though it's quite short - I think it was intended for someone quite a bit smaller than me. &nbsp;I keep hanging on to it because I have not been able to locate a repeat of this color, which I love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boxy-love#post-1216300 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 14:53:30 +0000 Anonymous 1216300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great formula for you Amy, do you like it? The proportions of 1 look great to me, and I think the sweater in #2 looks cropped enough to work, although it&nbsp;<i>could</i> be a bit boxier IMO. I've been stretching out my tighter sweaters after washing them&nbsp;and trying to "block" them into a bigger shape when drying them flat. It works pretty well on the ones without too much spandex.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boxy-love#post-1216228 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 14:10:41 +0000 amiable 1216228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This Ensemble is fast becoming one of my favorite silhouettes. &nbsp;Here it is as I've worn it in the last week.</p> <p>#1 is dark wash blue jeans with a coral button down under a gray sweater. &nbsp;<br />#2 is a more springy combination - navy skinnies with an aqua checked button-down shirt under a navy short-sleeved sweater. This sweater is cropped, but not short enough to go for the cropped sweater ensemble. &nbsp;I had intended to fold under the band (and will probably still try it that way at some point), but my husband thought it looked "silly" that way.</p> <p>All comments are welcome! &nbsp;And I'm posting a backlog of WIW, so apologies for flooding the forum....</p>
