If so, taupe would be nice with it.<br />I'm not sure about the caftan for work. I honestly think you would look stylish in your housecoat so that's not the issue. It's rather about whether you would feel right in it at work.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-helmut-lang-sweater-in-work-outfit#post-952427 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 06:04:10 +0000 Archer 952427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the elegant simplicity of the outfit.

If only I knew there was a white one. Was it on sale? I might have to find something cheaper for a white sweater. There are a lot out there in white, just none that I liked IRL yet. Maybe I will try Zara. They seem to have a lot on their website right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-helmut-lang-sweater-in-work-outfit#post-951202 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 21:37:17 +0000 sarah 951202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love that outfit.

I probably couldn't carry it off but I like that it's Helmut Lang-y but not extreme. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-helmut-lang-sweater-in-work-outfit#post-951098 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 19:08:26 +0000 marit 951098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit! I wouldn't have thought to combine those pieces - I'm definitely unsure about high-low tops on my own body, or for that matter that particular cut of pants, but you are selling me on trying out both! =) It all looks chic and comfortable.</p> <p>I'm undecided on the caftan. I feel like it could go either way and I don't have enough info to give an opinion? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-helmut-lang-sweater-in-work-outfit#post-951095 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 19:02:45 +0000 ElleH 951095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Liz they are bloch ballet flats. Not available anymore:(&nbsp;</p> <p>Unfrumped not sure of your question. Do you mean Helmut Lang? I bought it at Madison in LA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-helmut-lang-sweater-in-work-outfit#post-951074 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 18:32:52 +0000 unfrumped 951074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sweater outfit! Which HM is that?<br />Not sure about caftan. Would it be too guru-like or just-right-healer like? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-helmut-lang-sweater-in-work-outfit#post-951064 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 18:22:11 +0000 Suz 951064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater is gorgeous, Elle! Love it as you've styled it but it would also look great with white jeans or faded denim.&nbsp;</p> <p>Not sure about the caftan. You have the slender height to make it look good, yet I don't know how I would feel on meeting you if I were a client. I suppose your clients go with a particular idea in mind already, however, and might not be surprised? How do you want to come across to them? Gentle, strong, intuitive, creative, etc. &nbsp;It's quite a challenging job to dress for, I expect!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-helmut-lang-sweater-in-work-outfit#post-951062 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 18:21:16 +0000 Liz A. 951062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are those vivobarefoot shoes? &nbsp;If so, how do you like them?</p> <p>I don't know what your work is, but I like that caftan look... perhaps a different one without such a high slit though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-helmut-lang-sweater-in-work-outfit#post-951056 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 18:17:53 +0000 catgirl 951056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sweater beyond belief! &nbsp;</p> <p>Not sure on the caftan. &nbsp;It reminds me a lot of the housecoats we wear in India which is like wearing pajamas in presentable form. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-helmut-lang-sweater-in-work-outfit#post-951047 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 18:10:17 +0000 Raisin 951047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the outfit and the mesh sweater. It works well in the outfit but yes maybe white jeans would make it feel more spring like.</p> <p>I'm not sure about the dress in the second pic. It looks sort of overwhelming, I guess I'd have to see it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-helmut-lang-sweater-in-work-outfit#post-951037 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 18:00:51 +0000 ElleH 951037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had this sweater pinned. I hadn't found the right mesh sweater yet. It isn't exactly Spring coloured but I loved the fabric, the knit, the fit &amp; style &amp; it was on sale for nearly half price!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm wearing it in a work outfit but loved it in the pin with skinnies so I will wear it that way too. Maybe if I wear a white cami &amp; jeans it will work better for Spring/Summer.</p> <p>What do you think of my work outfit? It seems like it needs something.</p> <p>Speaking of work outfits. What do you think of this caftan type of garment for seeing clients? I work as a healer. It looks stylish on the model but will it look like I couldn't be bothered getting out of my house coat? </p>
