Today I’m wearing a brown skirt that is the top end of my range. After reading Jussi’s thread, I wanted to wear my pink puffer vest with it (we have spring temps today!) but it’s too small for me now. I appreciate you talking plainly about these kind of fluctuations. I often get the feeling that bringing them up will send people into a panic that I hate myself or something. They are just a fact of life; if I exercise, I lose it, but I’m not doing it right now, so this is the logical conclusion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-the-cardigan#post-2013969 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 09:00:07 +0000 Style Fan 2013969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous colour on you.&nbsp; What about wearing it with a few buttons down up and a tank top underneath?&nbsp; See pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-the-cardigan#post-2013967 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 08:47:29 +0000 anchie 2013967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FashIntern - what you see in my finds it is in range of sizes 10-6 US, so not everything fits me at the same time. Last summer I was size bigger so all my new summer items may be little too big, I have yet to try them. And summer before that I was size smaller than now. Before, when I was gaining or loosing weight, it was happening much faster and I was usually skipping my current middle ground size, but this time it seems I am stuck. And this is the size I have the least of. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-the-cardigan#post-2013964 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 08:05:59 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2013964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope the stretching works, agree about the color. Assuming it fits after that, don’t you have a bunch of light neutrals for summer? I like it with the new orange pants too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-the-cardigan#post-2013963 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 06:51:25 +0000 anchie 2013963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great ideas ladies.<br /> Just tried it backwards, not sure about the neckline. And it still feels to short.<br /> I wore it over sleeveless dresses before which I don’t do anymore. Sleeves are bunching under it.<br /> Can’t wait to try stretching it while wet, really hope that will work. This color is impossible to find in retail this days. I have some matching accessories that are also going unused. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-the-cardigan#post-2013957 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 02:54:13 +0000 pmondrian1 2013957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will it work, including the shoulder seam, if you wear it backwards with the buttons in the back? If no, pass it on.<br /> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-the-cardigan#post-2013955 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 02:35:22 +0000 Anonymous 2013955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful color.

I have saved several snug tops that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-the-cardigan#post-2013949 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 01:52:40 +0000 Jaime 2013949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful color but perhaps pass it on and put the color on your wish list.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-the-cardigan#post-2013938 Thu, 21 Mar 2019 00:36:09 +0000 Anonymous 2013938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes too tight buttoned but great color! Can you wear it over a dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-the-cardigan#post-2013934 Wed, 20 Mar 2019 23:21:03 +0000 DonnaF 2013934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will it work, including the shoulder seam, if you wear it backwards with the buttons in the back?

It's too small in the body and the shoulder seams don't hit you at the shoulder. You look so great in most of your clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-the-cardigan#post-2013912 Wed, 20 Mar 2019 20:40:18 +0000 anchie 2013912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Cat and Angie - agree, I think it is time to let it go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-the-cardigan#post-2013910 Wed, 20 Mar 2019 20:36:51 +0000 anchie 2013910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SarahDB - I used to wear it over summer dresses when arround AC, but it doesn’t go well with any of my current dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-the-cardigan#post-2013909 Wed, 20 Mar 2019 20:36:36 +0000 Angie 2013909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a little snug to be worn like this, <b>anchie.</b>&nbsp;Worse when you sit down. GORGEOUS colour, and yummy with tomato red though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-the-cardigan#post-2013908 Wed, 20 Mar 2019 20:34:51 +0000 The Cat 2013908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a little too tight to be worn closed. Gorgeous colour, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-the-cardigan#post-2013907 Wed, 20 Mar 2019 20:32:48 +0000 anchie 2013907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal - it has already been in a holding zone for a while now. I love the color too, that is the main reason why I was hoping to put it back in rotation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-the-cardigan#post-2013906 Wed, 20 Mar 2019 20:30:57 +0000 SarahD8 2013906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see what you're talking about, anchie. I wouldn't be comfortable wearing a buttoned through cardi that fitted, personally.</p> <p>I agree with others that the color is great, and the combination with the red jeans is fabulous.</p> <p>You wouldn't wear it open over a dress in the summer, or something like that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-the-cardigan#post-2013905 Wed, 20 Mar 2019 20:28:04 +0000 Sal 2013905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a little tight.....I get that gaping too.</p> <p>It is a gorgeous colour though so I might put aside in the holding zone - or I might pass on to a new owner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-the-cardigan#post-2013874 Wed, 20 Mar 2019 20:13:12 +0000 anchie 2013874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don’t you think that it is too tight, see how buttons are not nicely aligned? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-the-cardigan#post-2013872 Wed, 20 Mar 2019 20:05:33 +0000 ophelia 2013872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Saaaaaave it!

The shorter length looks modern, and love the blue and orange color combo!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/save-the-cardigan#post-2013856 Wed, 20 Mar 2019 19:11:00 +0000 anchie 2013856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by Angie’s blog post today, I gave this cardigan another chance. But it doesn’t seem worth saving and investing in the same color top, does it? </p>
