It's a gorgeous sweater, fits you well, and suits you. If you can't actually semi tuck, can you "faux" tuck by folding the bottom under? This works for me quite a lot of the time. But it might not work on leather or faux leather because that surface is a bit slippery. If you have a "tacky" surface (like a knit tube skirt) folding another knit will often work. I do it all the time with long tees.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sweater---styling-critique#post-1402141 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 00:55:17 +0000 Carole 1402141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great sweater! I love 1, and am unsure about volume on volume but think Marley and Kelly have some good ideas to try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sweater---styling-critique#post-1402138 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 00:53:57 +0000 Elizabeth P 1402138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback!</p> <p>#1 is more how I envisioned wearing it, and will also wear it with ponte pants and leggings (if it's long enough, haven't tried that yet).&nbsp; And maybe a pencil skirt. The culottes were a bit of a "hey, lets see if this works" but the anwer is obvioulsy no.&nbsp; Sometimes it's hard to see these things on yourself!!&nbsp; I'll try the suggestions above - sleeker boots, different footware to show some skin, but otherwise probably pass.</p> <p>Marley, it's way too long to semi tuck. Thanks for your suggestions though, you have a great eye.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sweater---styling-critique#post-1402136 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 00:47:24 +0000 Marley 1402136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth - another thought: &nbsp;try scrunching the sleeves on the sweater. &nbsp;That will off-set the volume of the outfit, as well as add some lightness to the overall look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sweater---styling-critique#post-1402132 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 00:41:47 +0000 Marilyn 1402132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm linking to Falling In Style.&nbsp; Iva wears culottes so you might get some ideas browsing her blog.&nbsp; </p> <p><a href="http://fallinginstyle.net/" rel="nofollow">http://fallinginstyle.net/</a> </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sweater---styling-critique#post-1402126 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 00:34:07 +0000 Marley 1402126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a beautiful sweater! &nbsp;And looks to me as though it fits you well. &nbsp;It is quite dark - which isn't a bad thing! &nbsp;I'm just wondering if you could "lighten" up the look of the outfit somehow? &nbsp;Like - for example - could&nbsp;you semi-tuck the sweater into the culottes? &nbsp;If so, I'd try it that way - along with some footwear that shows a little bit of skin between the bottom of the culottes and your feet.<br />In #1 I'd try it with a pant that tucks better into the boots - so there isn't&nbsp;all of that wrinkling around the knee and thigh - to me that adds to the heaviness/darkness of the outfit and I want to lighten up the outfit just a bit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sweater---styling-critique#post-1402124 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 00:31:48 +0000 Peri 1402124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a volume on volume person! But I'm with the others in not being sure about 2...something seems off, but for me it isn't the volume on volume issue cause they really aren't that voluminous. I'm not sure why. But I do like 1 quite a bit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sweater---styling-critique#post-1402122 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 00:29:03 +0000 Marilyn 1402122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love look #1.&nbsp; Volume on top and sleek on the bottom is my thing. &nbsp; I'm not a volume on volume person so I'll defer judgment to those with a better eye for it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sweater---styling-critique#post-1402104 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 23:47:12 +0000 kellygirl 1402104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I Iike both but especially 1. I think 2 just needs a sleeker boot or bootie.</p> <p>EtA: love the sweater. Where's the bra pic? Lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sweater---styling-critique#post-1402099 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 23:44:26 +0000 unfrumped 1402099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that 1 works better than 2. The boots + culottes are throwing me off as is the black band on the sweater, and it's a very dark outfit. Something lighter and shorter on top I think would work better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sweater---styling-critique#post-1402033 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 21:43:11 +0000 abc 1402033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it in 1 more than 2 but my eye has not totally adjusted to volume on volume looks. &nbsp;Let's see what the others say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sweater---styling-critique#post-1402031 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 21:39:09 +0000 Elizabeth P 1402031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered a couple of things from Nordies a while ago, and the order finally arrived.&nbsp; Pretty happy with all of it... including a bra!!&nbsp; Total gamble there.&nbsp; No, you will not be seeing styling ideas for that. :)</p> <p>First up...&nbsp; a striped cashmere tunic sweater.&nbsp; <br />#1 is what I wore today. <br />#2.&nbsp; Would like feedback on this.&nbsp; Is this too much volume to wear with the culottes?&nbsp; </p>
