Here's one of the wearings of mine. It barely gets worn and I can't quite figure out why:</p> <p><a href="http://outfitdiary.blogspot.com/2008/10/wednesday_29.html" rel="nofollow">http://outfitdiary.blogspot.co.....ay_29.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear/page/2#post-241717 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 05:14:44 +0000 Kari 241717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do - but it has short cap sleeves, and I get SO COLD unless I layer a jacket or cardigan over it, and the cap sleeves also don't look quite as sleek under other dresses as a longer sleeved blouse does. </p> <p>I hope you'll let us know how the blouse works when it arrives! Good luck... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear/page/2#post-241715 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 05:11:21 +0000 Maya 241715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, don't you have a pussycat bow blouse? I feel like I remember you posting one before.</p> <p>I placed the order a week ago so hopefully it will be here soon... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear/page/2#post-241708 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 05:05:46 +0000 Kari 241708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, did you end up getting that pussycat bow blouse? I'm interested to hear how it works on a busty body type - particularly for such a great price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear/page/2#post-237670 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 20:58:25 +0000 tarzy 237670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya - have you looked at J. Crew? They usually have nice cashmere sweaters. Might be pricy for you, but maybe on sale? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear/page/2#post-237656 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 20:46:32 +0000 shana 237656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have any good suggestions for you - I've generally been on a knit ban this past year! BR is my store of choice for knitwear - especially thin merino sweaters. I've had some for 10 years or so that still look great! However, I stocked up a couple of years ago and have not been inspired by their colors for the last year. I do have a bunch of knitwear from J Crew but I don't think the quality is all that great. You can get good prices if you shop their sales though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear/page/2#post-237597 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 19:25:23 +0000 Maya 237597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Luckily I don't need to use that much brain power.</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/files/2010/10/Layered-Dresses.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/files/20.....resses.jpg</a></p> <p>I don't know yet if mine can be worn that way (with the bow undone), nor do I know if it will be flattering on my bustier body type, but I plan to try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear/page/2#post-237592 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 19:05:18 +0000 Jenava 237592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I have a cream silk charmeuse blouse with a big bow. You are going to wear yours under a v-neck sweater...and what else? I'm betting you have something fun in mind. Mine is rather a closet orphan... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear/page/2#post-237578 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 18:42:55 +0000 Angie 237578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course she would - and so will you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear#post-237576 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 18:41:51 +0000 Maya 237576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good because I already did. Lucie would look sooooooo adorable with a big floppy bow around her neck... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear#post-237574 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 18:41:01 +0000 Angie 237574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely. I want you to get the Lucie-blouse.</p> <p>Phew. Lots of potential apoplexies this morning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear#post-237566 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 18:35:24 +0000 Maya 237566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I was asking about the blouse exclusively. I understand the sweater, and am glad you spared me wasting $142!</p> <p>Can I come out of the corner now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear#post-237565 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 18:34:40 +0000 Angie 237565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only if you want to know why I'm banning anyone from giving you money for that item of knitwear. If you don't, than the explanation is irrelevant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear#post-237563 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 18:33:11 +0000 Maya 237563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to explain? Am I in trouble? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear#post-237556 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 18:30:31 +0000 Angie 237556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! Well that's fabulous. Of course I love that bowed blouse. </p> <p>But how do you explain this comment, Maya: </p> <p>"Ok, I really want this.

See the post above Kari's. The Limited blouse with the big pussycat bow.</p> <p>And to be clear, I know it's not knitwear obviously, but I thought it would layer well under existing knitwear and under sleeveless dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear#post-237539 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 18:15:48 +0000 Angie 237539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are talking about the big black chunky knit jumper which is drowning the model? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear#post-237537 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 18:12:25 +0000 Maya 237537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Angie, how come it isn't preferable? Not even for layering?</p> <p>Edit: wait, I am confused. It's the sweater you don't like? That's a relief. I was asking about the blouse </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear#post-237535 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 18:11:43 +0000 Angie 237535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Maya. I think this is the first time that you have posted something that I do not prefer. I vote nay on anyone who wants to give Maya $142 for the modcloth jumper!</p> <p>As far as answering your knitwear goes, start a fund for your trip to HK. </p> <p>Seriously though, knitwear is so hard. I am in constant need of it myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear#post-237534 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 18:08:39 +0000 Kari 237534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Maya, I hope that the pussycat bow blouse works on you. The silver-shot fabric looks very pretty in pictures and the sale price is GREAT. Have you seen it in person? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear#post-237509 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 17:45:02 +0000 Maya 237509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping to see if Angie has any other ideas (and for her to approve my pussy bow blouse).</p> <p><a href="http://www.thelimited.com/detail/bow-front-button-down/4522689" rel="nofollow">http://www.thelimited.com/deta.....wn/4522689</a></p> <p>Also, if anyone else is seeking a low maintenance buttondown, I'm trying this one out:</p> <p><a href="http://www.thelimited.com/detail/luxe-button-down-shirt/4522550" rel="nofollow">http://www.thelimited.com/deta.....rt/4522550</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear#post-237363 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 04:41:16 +0000 Maya 237363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been wanting a pussy bow blouse for ages, but it had to be just the right kind. Thankfully the Limited had one. I'd also love to get one with some kind of folksy vintage print, but I'll start off with a blank canvas.</p> <p>And yes, thanks for reminding me: Acrylic also feels flammable, and I do not like that. I sit in front of a space heater all day at work and would fear being set alight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear#post-237359 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 04:34:43 +0000 Jonesy 237359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL. A pussy bow blouse will certainly be fab with a v-neck! I do have some sweaters with acrylic, to be honest (true confessions time!), and it doesn't bother me too much. I suppose it's usually a small percentage, though I would have to dig around and peek at some tags to be sure...It is certainly warm, you have to admit that (traps in all that body heat with its impenetrable-ness :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear#post-237356 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 04:29:44 +0000 Maya 237356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, if you have to ask me that I have to question whether or not you have ever worn something with a high acrylic content! It pills to the touch, is itchy, and looks cheap even by my low standards.</p> <p>So I decided instead of getting new sweaters, I would find a way to make my existing v neck sweaters work. I was on the verge of tossing them because I just don't know what to do with them, but I think they can be saved. A pussy bow blouse and non-iron buttondown are on their way to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear#post-237339 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 04:03:17 +0000 Jonesy 237339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried Urban Outfitters? Though I don't think any of these meet all of your criteria...What did poor old acrylic ever do to you :)?

When it comes to knitwear if I am trying to find something perfect, I just find a picture and check in with Mom or my sisters. They'll find a pattern and make it for me. Living out in the sticks I have few fashion advantages but this is one I have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear#post-237327 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 03:37:43 +0000 Jenava 237327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, it's got acrylic in it. )-: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-knitwear#post-237326 Sat, 23 Oct 2010 03:36:34 +0000 Jenava 237326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just tried on a "fisherman" type sweater at Gap today that was very soft and nice. I didn't get it because the knit was a bit lose, but with a layer under I could see it being pretty versatile. I ended up getting another top, but would have gotten this sweater if I'd had it in the budget:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=8998&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=789187&#038;scid=789187002" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....=789187002</a> </p>
