Here's hoping! : )</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest/page/2#post-1586947 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 02:48:02 +0000 Suz 1586947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Donna</b>, for sure you could make this work. I have the sweater in small -- I am 5'4". Short waisted but long rise so overall an average torso length. I think medium would be plenty big for you. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;Aida, I know -- it's a shame about the vest, eh? But I'm taking good care of it. One good thing -- it does "repair" pretty easily. (You know when you can draw the thread back into the fabric pretty well?)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest/page/2#post-1586939 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 02:33:39 +0000 Aida 1586939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fun Suz! A great way to work a poncho for you (and of course I am now pondering the top for me, too). I love the curved hemline, and yes that type of hem is flattering in a way similar to semi-tucking. I have a few tops with this hem and find exactly the same thing to be true. Extra fun with the cropped jeans and also good idea to crop 'em up. Make those clothes work for you! Too bad the vest is already pilling, it's a fabulous arty-lite piece for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest/page/2#post-1586933 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 02:21:35 +0000 MTBGirl 1586933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the info Suz! I'm 5'6" plus, with a long torso. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586894 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 00:34:32 +0000 Suz 1586894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna, it's super oversized. I'll bet you could wear it. How tall are you? That would be the key issue.&nbsp;</p> <p>Zara do size on the smaller end, as a rule, though. Not always. But if Sveta can wear Zara (she is almost 6 feet tall and slender but not skinny) anyone can!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586876 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 22:56:48 +0000 MTBGirl 1586876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both of these outfits on you! And I would totally copy the "poncho" sweater but looking at their size chart (I've never ordered from Zara) it looks like I would need a large : ( &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586870 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 22:08:03 +0000 shedev 1586870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586808 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 18:58:16 +0000 KikiG 1586808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this to the power of 10.&nbsp; There is a magic to a curve.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586804 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 18:44:33 +0000 Sara L. 1586804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are great!&nbsp; I love the new Zara sweater.&nbsp; That curved hem is very flattering and I liked the layered look on you.&nbsp; Man, I really need new sweaters this winter but I emptied my clothing fund to start baby boy's college fund.&nbsp; New sweaters will just have to wait.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586695 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 14:57:29 +0000 Beth Ann 1586695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your new "poncho," Suz. &nbsp; Noticing the trends, and adding them in a form that supports our own bodies and lifestyles seems to be essential to developing a real personal style. &nbsp;</p> <p>Do you find the vest working well at home? I've been keeping my eyes open for a drapey vest for at home days --- I don't like the warmth or interference of sweater sleeves when I'm cooking or cleaning --- I'm forever pushing the sleeves up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586687 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 14:36:12 +0000 lyn67 1586687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous pieces, both+new burgundy boots! Yes, I do think curved hems (besides are more interesting and flatering) are easier to style to what you wanted and wow, do both outfits look super amazing on you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586684 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 14:32:52 +0000 abc 1586684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What everyone else said. As usual, Suz, your rendition is amazing! I love the curved hem of the topper, it reminds me of when you and Rae and others were sporting cropped over long and I so wanted to copycat. Feeling the urge again but I will probably just admire from afar. I love this color palette on you with the sweater and boots and the lighter top underneath to keep it from getting too heavy visually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586675 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 14:04:20 +0000 Anonymous 1586675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, love love! Both are fab outfits. I really like the curvy hemmed cropped sweater, sooo flattering, and the vest outfit with plaid scarf is delish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586673 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 14:00:02 +0000 Suz 1586673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all.&nbsp;</p> <p>Style Fan, the sweater is more cool-toned but it is a true burgundy, not a red or purple or berry kind of burgundy, if that makes sense. There is a black undertone (black flecks in the knit). At the same time, it doesn't seem to clash with the boots which are more a purple toned burgundy.&nbsp;</p> <p>Karie, the Sloans are a typical BR fit, I'd say, but maybe on the slim side. So, not as straight cut as some J. Crew offerings but not super curvy, either. I actually sized up in this pair. Their sizing seems a bit wonky this year and (in truth!) I am up a few pounds as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586662 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 12:31:29 +0000 Aquamarine 1586662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous faux poncho look. You have given me ideas. The vest outfit is fab, too. At least you know the look works for you if you decide to upgrade to a better quality version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586658 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 12:02:11 +0000 Style Fan 1586658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look.&nbsp; I may have to be a lemming and pop over to Zara.&nbsp; Is it a warm burgundy?&nbsp; And I love the boots.&nbsp; I have been off the forum and look what I missed.&nbsp; Poor internet connection.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586653 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 11:42:47 +0000 viva 1586653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that Zara cropped sweater on you - looks fantastic over the plaid shirt. What a great way to cheat a poncho style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586646 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 11:04:22 +0000 Karie 1586646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfits! The cropped sweater is very flattering on you and I can see how the silhouette is similar to the semi-tuck. I like the Sloans on you too - I've been meaning to try them for myself but never seem to get around to it. Do they have a curvy fit or a straight fit?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586636 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 10:30:30 +0000 Deborah 1586636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit Suz. &nbsp;Love the cropped sweater so much. &nbsp;Clever interpretation of the ensemble </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586572 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 03:37:03 +0000 Jaime 1586572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both outfits! The curve hem is just the ticket for you and the boots are gorgeous with the hemmed jeans. You have double my determination to hack some jeans myself. The second outfit is also excellent - evolving style Suz for the win!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586571 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 03:30:49 +0000 chouette22 1586571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE both outfits! The Zara turtleneck is perfection on you. With your fab hairstyle you look like a model! I too just hacked a few inches off two pants I wasn't wearing anymore and now they are back in rotation.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586562 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 02:49:29 +0000 Maneera 1586562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these, Suz! I think #1 totally works because of the curved hem of the sweater. I especially love the second outfit - that vest looks stellar on you! You've created perfect proportions in both outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586556 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 02:32:33 +0000 Elly 1586556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the turtle!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586545 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 02:14:20 +0000 catgirl 1586545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look - you do these proportions so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586542 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 02:11:45 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1586542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cool outfits, Suz. Both are stellar! I agree that the curved hem of the sweater in 1 is flattering like a semi-tuck. That's a favorite shape of mine, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586533 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 01:14:50 +0000 Angie 1586533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is Killer to the power of Killer. I LOVE THIS ON YOU, Suz. Amazing new boots and great hack job on the jeans. Well done.&nbsp;</p> <p>(Diagonal lines for the win - you are dead right about their flattering effect).&nbsp;</p> <p>The vest look is super cute too. I see arty drape with crisp polish. NICE!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586489 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 22:36:06 +0000 Suz 1586489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all. <b>Elizabeth</b>, the vest is from Winner's. Inexpensive. I have only worn it twice and already it is developing some runs and pills. I have managed to tidy it up for now but I think it may prove to be a one-season wonder, alas.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sue, Cheryle</b> -- I have been wearing the boots almost every day! Shocking. They're fun and easy to wear for me -- good walking boots. I am always in search of footwear that is both fashionable and goes the distance. They fit the bill. And they seem to "go" with more than I had expected.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Cheryle</b>, I don't know if I have a single straight across the bottom shirt, now that you mention it. Hmmm. If i do, I'll try it.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586477 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 21:54:56 +0000 merwoman 1586477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those boots are so versatile, they work so well in your wardrobe. I lemminged up and bought them in black last week. I like what you've done with the cropped sweater to turn it into a pseudo poncho, and I love the vest! The scarf provides a nice focus and the colour is perfect next to your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586474 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 21:51:12 +0000 Peri 1586474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, so happy to see your WIWs again! I'm a big fan of the vest outfit!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poncho-and-vest#post-1586471 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 21:45:19 +0000 Alassë 1586471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yes, that sweater definitely reminds me of a poncho. Great job interpreting! </p>
