Maybe scrap the scarf and do a long necklace instead??? food for thought... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-2#post-780827 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 15:28:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 780827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a beautiful colour of blue on you! I agree with the others that either knotting the cardi with no scarf, or having the scarf and maybe belting the cardi would work perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-2#post-780816 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 14:58:24 +0000 Asingh 780816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tracey, I really like the colour of the sweater. How about adding a skinny belt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-2#post-780809 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 14:23:42 +0000 Suz 780809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just echoing the others here! Colour is so pretty on you. I think it would work tied like this without the scarf (but you might have been too chilly!) or it could work belted.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-2#post-780807 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 14:17:07 +0000 Karie 780807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would like to see a pic of the outfit with the sweater belted, I think that would work, or you could tie the sweater but not wear the scarf - the two knots compete.<br /> The color looks beautiful on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-2#post-780774 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 10:42:42 +0000 rute 780774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! Love the color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-2#post-780773 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 10:41:48 +0000 Ingunn 780773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are not kidding! I think it works fine, but I also agree that the two knots compete a little. Try keeping it open, but with a skinny, low-contrasting belt over both dress and cardigan. That often looks good to my eye. The color os fab on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-2#post-780748 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 06:51:58 +0000 lyn* 780748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with you that it seems that the cardigan is too long for the garment - it hides your pretty shape! I am not sure if tying it like that is the best idea (with the knot in your scarf it kind of works against each other) </p> <p>This site (Extra Petite is the blogger) has some suggestions with cute pics - I dunno if any of these solutions will work for you: <a href="http://goo.gl/M3xyA" rel="nofollow">http://goo.gl/M3xyA</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-2#post-780741 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 06:22:30 +0000 Caro in Oz 780741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see why you love the colour - it looks fantastic on you &amp; with the dress. I am not loving the tie (but I don't think it looks bad) did you try belting it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pattern-mixing-2#post-780738 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 06:20:11 +0000 TraceyLiz65 780738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I loved the color of this sweater,but didn't love the length as I am really trying to focus on dressing my petite body. So, I tied it and wonder if I am kidding myself that this works.</p> <p>So, am i delusional or can I get away with this? </p> <p>I look cold in that second photo... </p>
