You choose a very large sweatshirt. You cut off the cuffs, the hem and the neckband. You choose the length of the “jacket” and the length of the sleeves as you wish. Then, you cut the front of the sweatshirt in the middle (vertically) to create a “jacket”. Sorry for the clumsy description, I am afraid I cannot the right terminology… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-wild-card-and-some-mixing-and-playing#post-2353013 Fri, 16 Feb 2024 20:15:04 +0000 Katerina 2353013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the lovely comments.

I have always liked the look of a man's necktie in a woman's outfit but foolishly I never tried. Your husband's tie is beautiful and the oufit is fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-wild-card-and-some-mixing-and-playing#post-2352940 Fri, 16 Feb 2024 00:45:16 +0000 Jonesy 2352940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, it's so great to see you post and I love the new sweater coat! Incredible colors/print/silhouette and you can wear bold looks with such ease! The warm brown look is fab too and I admire your creativity and love the accessories layering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-wild-card-and-some-mixing-and-playing#post-2352845 Thu, 15 Feb 2024 06:11:16 +0000 Zaeobi 2352845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back, Katerina! It's natural that the forum ebbs &amp; flows, no need to apologise. I haven't posted WiWs in a while either lol, though that phenomenally patterned coat has got me thinking about experimenting with the Mardi Gras colour combination, hmm... </p> <p>Love the colour combos in both looks, but I'm more impressed by your hack with the men's sweatshirt - way to take it from drab to fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-wild-card-and-some-mixing-and-playing#post-2352815 Thu, 15 Feb 2024 00:42:50 +0000 Ket 2352815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely to see you! You have such an elegant yet artsy vibe. I am glad you’re back. I took a few years off with motherhood. But I just returned and I’m so glad I did. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-wild-card-and-some-mixing-and-playing#post-2352641 Tue, 13 Feb 2024 16:40:44 +0000 Anonymous 2352641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful to see you,Katerina, Welcome back ! like all your outfits, especially #1/2 and3 and 5. &nbsp;You are looking wonderful and fashionable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-wild-card-and-some-mixing-and-playing#post-2352580 Tue, 13 Feb 2024 00:18:28 +0000 harmonica 2352580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo Olive Green!

Your hair looks fab!&nbsp;</p> <p>KILLER sweater jacket! You've styled it elegantly, with polish, and I expected nothing less. Gorgeous palette on you :)</p> <p>Queen Scarf is rocking those vintage ties too!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-wild-card-and-some-mixing-and-playing#post-2352441 Sun, 11 Feb 2024 05:54:38 +0000 Carol 2352441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i><br /></i>I'm going to go ahead and borrow Angie's word and say killer on the first outfit, really the second, too. Clean lines with good proportions. I really love how you've draped that green scarf.&nbsp; And good pick on the necktie--it takes a certain panache for a woman to wear those.&nbsp;<br /><i><br /></i>The only thing I might add is to try a turtleneck sweater with the first jacket.&nbsp;&nbsp;<i></p> <p></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-wild-card-and-some-mixing-and-playing#post-2352432 Sun, 11 Feb 2024 03:05:29 +0000 Jaime 2352432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I absolutely love the sweater coat. And it fits into Angie's color post more or less. It is stunning on you! The tie reminds me of a vintage Versace one I have and it pops beautifully against the brown. So happy to see you posting again Katerina - you are such an inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-wild-card-and-some-mixing-and-playing#post-2352379 Sat, 10 Feb 2024 17:54:10 +0000 kkards 2352379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn’t interesting how something small like changing your hair can reinvigorate your interest in fashion.<br />love the cardigan and the green scarf is the perfect pop of color.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-wild-card-and-some-mixing-and-playing#post-2352370 Sat, 10 Feb 2024 16:49:34 +0000 Suz 2352370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a fabulous statement coat! A really fun wild card and it also fits right in with <b>Angie</b>'s blog post about interesting colour combinations!&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the tie as well and that is a fun idea.

And hats off to your creativity, your diy outfit is subtly elegant. And did you sew it yourself from hacking the sweatshirt, incredible! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-wild-card-and-some-mixing-and-playing#post-2352354 Sat, 10 Feb 2024 09:26:00 +0000 Mirjana 2352354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to see you back Katerina.

Love your color combinations. Now I know what I need for my brown top that seems kind of blah--I doubt Mr. M has a yellow tie, but I can at least find a yellow scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-wild-card-and-some-mixing-and-playing#post-2352323 Sat, 10 Feb 2024 01:33:15 +0000 Bijou 2352323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a treat to see you back and looking even more fashion forward and elegant!

You look pulled together and elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-wild-card-and-some-mixing-and-playing#post-2352314 Fri, 09 Feb 2024 22:22:32 +0000 Katerina 2352314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear friends, it has been a while since I have participated here and I am sorry for the longer break. I have fallen out of fashion for a while, but now I am back and feeling it again. It started with a new haircut - i have a lob now, although it is not visible in the pictures I am posting today - here I have a ponytale. The new hair brought about the new motivation to create some new fun outfits. I also bought a new wild card - an outlet find consisting of a patterned sweater coat by Marc Cain collections. I hade doubts it will work on me due to the fact that it is a thick knit with a rather dramatic pattern. But I happen to love it. Here, I have styled it over a column of black and added a green silk scarf by Elie Saab which I had in my closet for years. What do you all think about it? Any styling suggestions here? Any feedback and comments are much appreciated.</p> <p>The other day I got inspired by someone on YouTube sporting vintage men’s ties. So I visited my husband’s wardrobe and literally confiscated a few basically vintage ties he currently does not wear. Here is an outfit I have created around one of the ties . I combine the tie with a brown resin chain with gold closure. I like how’s the shape of the links harmonizes with the pattern of the tie. The jacket is a diy - a little jacket made from an oversized men’s sweatshirt. The inspiration is from YLF member DonnaF - thank you DonnaF for the great idea. I like the play of texturers when wearing it with chocolate brown pleather pants. Black boots to match my almost black hair and a hobo black hand bag (not shown here). What do you guys think of the hopefully playful combination? </p>
