I am not a Fair Isle gal either, but this one is perfect with your hair, the boots, the teddy coat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moving-earth-tones-into-winter-and-its-always-something/page/2#post-2083093 Sun, 08 Dec 2019 00:55:08 +0000 Roxanna 2083093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So only you would find the PERFECT fair isle sweater for non-fair isle lovers - the caramel with the light grey and black is so chic - especially when paired with those boots! Makes it Urban somehow. I’m also not normally a fan of those coats but the color of this one odd luscious on you and looks so great. 10/10! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moving-earth-tones-into-winter-and-its-always-something/page/2#post-2083033 Sat, 07 Dec 2019 23:23:37 +0000 unfrumped 2083033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how it all works together!</p> <p>I have also had some weird jeans twist events. Took me by surprise and kept thinking I could straighten them out, but no. Very annoying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moving-earth-tones-into-winter-and-its-always-something/page/2#post-2082814 Sat, 07 Dec 2019 10:36:00 +0000 Synne 2082814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are a matching pro! And how trendy you look. I'd also love to see the boots and jacket paired with an all white ensemble.

I hope you get your money back or a store credit.&nbsp;<br />Fair Isle sweaters, when done right are wonderful.

It makes you look like you're wearing a fluffy cloud of fluffy cotton candy in a scrummy fall color. I actually love the outfit and think you look great! </p> <p>And I don't know what is up with seams on pants. I have several pairs of pants and leggings that twist around like that, too. It is the MOST annoying thing. It has to be something in the fabric or construction making it twist like that, like maybe they didn't cut on the grain but on the bias or even however they had to cut to not waste fabric and get more pairs of Jean's out of a bolt of fabric? Whatever it is, it's just stupid and they need to stop it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moving-earth-tones-into-winter-and-its-always-something/page/2#post-2082032 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 17:19:20 +0000 Sara L. 2082032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit!&nbsp; Too bad about the jeans - that would drive me crazy too.&nbsp; I love the jacket.&nbsp; I have a furry white one that I love for the same reasons - it's lightweight yet super warm.&nbsp; But it also adds so much bulk that sometimes I'm hesitant to wear it.&nbsp; Also it's definitely a statement piece and I don't generally like my clothing to be so noticeable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moving-earth-tones-into-winter-and-its-always-something/page/2#post-2082019 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 16:47:12 +0000 Anonymous 2082019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good, though I like the outfit! Boots especially The leg must have been cut wrong to make the seam go awry like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moving-earth-tones-into-winter-and-its-always-something/page/2#post-2082016 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 16:43:09 +0000 Anonymous 2082016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You all have galvanized my thoughts : I'm taking the jeans back today. They were NOT cheap, although not expensive on this forum, I realize. &nbsp;I think they were around $110 ish. &nbsp;If they say "no", well, that's on them I guess. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moving-earth-tones-into-winter-and-its-always-something/page/2#post-2081992 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 14:52:22 +0000 RobinF 2081992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow I love this! The sweater with the boots is fabulous. Such a pain about the pants seam though, unless they were super cheap I would try to return (or exchange?).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moving-earth-tones-into-winter-and-its-always-something#post-2081989 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 14:46:02 +0000 nemosmom 2081989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the whole outfit ! The colors look so great on you! </p> <p>I felt the same way about a teddy coat I bought last year — too big/bulky; mine has a hood which adds more bulk... I felt like I was adorned with stuffed animals (if you know the Red Hot Chili Peppers, are you familiar with Flea’s stuffed animal pants??). But, I found I kept reaching for it on dry cold days and it was so perfect for running errands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moving-earth-tones-into-winter-and-its-always-something#post-2081985 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 14:21:02 +0000 Aquamarine 2081985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree that you should consider taking the jeans back. That would drive me bonkers. Love, love the teddy coat on you, especially with the boots.

I mean, it may not be flattering, but a coat like that's not supposed to be.&nbsp; It looks just right.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>But what a bummer about the jeans!&nbsp; I would definitely take them back... you don't need to be forceful with it, but just a "thought you should know...." at a minimum.&nbsp; I had a dress several years ago that I had bought from a boutique with a strict return policy etc, and the dress bagged in the bum really badly the first time I wore it.&nbsp; Figured it was just an "oh well".&nbsp; But when I mentioned it to them, months later, they pretty much insisted I bring it back.&nbsp; I think they got credit from the manufacturer, so they weren't out any money.&nbsp; She did say that if something like that happened again, to come back sooner, as it's easier for them to do things in the same season.&nbsp; <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moving-earth-tones-into-winter-and-its-always-something#post-2081954 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 11:19:37 +0000 kkards 2081954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>back in the day, when i had my 1st job managing a gap store, we had a large batch of twisted seam jeans...as you mentioned, there's nothing you can do, and you really can't find the issue until their worn....i'd return if they are from a large chain/dept store, but i get your reluctance since they were from a small local place...<br />i love the teddy coat, and it works so well with the fair isle, and the boots are the perfect finshing piece </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moving-earth-tones-into-winter-and-its-always-something#post-2081950 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 10:03:42 +0000 Mainelady 2081950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color of the coat is luscious! I love the whole outfit. YLF from head to toe. I would also be annoyed by the twisted leg seam. I am thinking that you have other pants that will look just as lovely with your sweater and coat. Wear those and elevate the happiness factor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moving-earth-tones-into-winter-and-its-always-something#post-2081943 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 09:19:44 +0000 lyn67 2081943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>LOL,&nbsp; Lisa, think you described one of my previous days (ref your outfit on top). <br /></div><div>1. I did wondered about a recently purchase brown&nbsp; teddy coat (mine is more furry like) exactly for that"<br /> too bulky, made me look huge, and was too trendy and did I really need it anyway blah blah blah"...but finally kept it exactly for that "It's so lightweight yet incredibly warm, and kind of fun to wear. May<br /> not be the world's most flattering jacket, but that's not the goal here."&nbsp; And <br /> 2. "I've never been a fan of fair isle sweaters, trending or not, but this one ticked off all of my boxes and I couldn't resist". So&nbsp; bought me a fairy isle sweater from H&amp;M..<br /> Mine is cream<b>&nbsp;</b> body, but same "soft texture, and fluid fit" </p> <p>soooo very similar to&nbsp; yours.</p> </div><div>You made my day!:-)<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moving-earth-tones-into-winter-and-its-always-something#post-2081908 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 03:49:37 +0000 Anonymous 2081908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well the seam down the centre front is very visible and part of the design , so when it’s veering off-centre it just looks plain weird . The more I think about this , the more I’m inclined to take them back . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moving-earth-tones-into-winter-and-its-always-something#post-2081887 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 03:07:47 +0000 slim cat 2081887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit is absolutely fabulous - colors, textures, prints - all work great! Earth colors with cool grey and dark jeans look wonderful on you.&nbsp;<br />Love your teddy coat.<br />Denim is tricky even expensive ones. I wear my corduroy bootcut jeans with a right leg slightly twisting and pretend it's nothing. I understand your frustration - I tried to steam mine, iron it and then just let it be.<br />I guess shortening jeans ( to carpri length..) would not cure the problem... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moving-earth-tones-into-winter-and-its-always-something#post-2081885 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 03:03:52 +0000 Jaime 2081885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off, the oufit is especially good. The shoes, sweater, coat and your hair were all meant to be together. My first thought about the twisted jeans was I wonder if I would notice on myself or you. But apparently it would bother everyone and, honestly, I would probably just donate them and move on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moving-earth-tones-into-winter-and-its-always-something#post-2081877 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 02:36:16 +0000 Anonymous 2081877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes - it’s definitely an off- grain issue .

No wonder it made you feel great! The sweater is perfect for you, and so is the fun coat.

I think you’ve nailed the elusive “effortless Canadian winter chic” look with these pieces. The coat is cozy and cuddly and you make the oversized element really work for you! Consider me inspired! The colour palette is superb too. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moving-earth-tones-into-winter-and-its-always-something#post-2081861 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 01:45:30 +0000 Anonymous 2081861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d return them if I still had the bill and if they were from a chain store . But I don’t , and they aren’t . Still - I of all people shouldn’t let that stop me -but it’s that it’s a store I do business with , I know the buyers , they already have a sticky return policy ( store credit only ) etc etc<br /> . I have to think about this one . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/moving-earth-tones-into-winter-and-its-always-something#post-2081855 Wed, 04 Dec 2019 01:14:11 +0000 Style Fan 2081855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the whole outfit.&nbsp; Beautiful textures.&nbsp; The jeans are misbehaving.&nbsp; I would never have thought of returning them as Vildy suggested but she does make a good point. </p>
