I also really like your dark jeans. I think it is a nice outfit for Christmas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-keep-or-toss#post-39964 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 19:04:11 +0000 shell 39964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks for your feedback, everyone!</p> <p>Sarah, I love that belt! I may just have to invest some xmas money in one :)</p> <p>as for the hemming...I basically just used a similar color thread and sewed it with a basic stitch. the band at the bottom was twice as long as it is now, so i just folded it in half, matched up the vertical lines knitted into the sweater, pinned it, and went to town on the sewing machine. it's probably not the "best" way to hem a sweater, but it's virtually undetectable so I guess it works.</p> <p>yublocka, you have a great eye! we're shoe rack twins </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-keep-or-toss#post-39939 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 16:40:05 +0000 Alecia 39939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a very nice sweater and would be a warm but festive holiday sweater. I too am interested to know how you hemmed it. I'm impressed.</p> <p>I've missed having you on the forum! It's good to "see" you again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-keep-or-toss#post-39932 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 16:01:12 +0000 Sarah 39932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's the linky to the belt:<br /> <a href="http://www.target.com/Xhilaration-Inset-Textured-Patent-Belt/dp/B001IF2RPC/qid=1229702156/ref=br_1_14/182-9431190-7366403?ie=UTF8&#038;node=13906211&#038;frombrowse=1&#038;rh=&#038;page=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/Xhilarat.....038;page=1</a></p> <p>I like it because skinny belts get lost on me, and super wide belts are not comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-keep-or-toss#post-39931 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 15:51:31 +0000 Amanda 39931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you are back, Shell! I really like the sweater -- definitely a keeper. I think the bow is festive as a Christmas outfit. and you can wear a "regular" belt with it at other times. Good job hemming a sweater -- that's tricky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-keep-or-toss#post-39927 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 14:47:31 +0000 Sarah 39927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Shell! I think the sweater is really pretty, actually. I like Maya's idea of trying a more structured belt. I picked up a fabulous wide patent belt at Target the other day. They have faux snakeskin and solid black with the three small buckles. It's not too wide, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-keep-or-toss#post-39923 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 14:30:16 +0000 Anonymous 39923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shell! You've been missed! You look cute and festive. I'm now thinking of adding a ribbon bow as a belt on my boyfriend sweater for Christmas. See how inspiring you are!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-keep-or-toss#post-39919 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 13:53:54 +0000 Violet 39919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back! I like the sweater and the bow. I think it's a great festive look for the holidays. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-keep-or-toss#post-39904 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 11:36:45 +0000 shiny 39904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also wondering how you shortened it?</p> <p>I like it with the bow, for your age and for a festive occasion. I have noticed the Gap is showing tons of sweaters with satin bows similar to this look. Did the sweater come with the bow, or did you think to add that touch yourself? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-keep-or-toss#post-39903 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 10:46:13 +0000 Laura 39903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very cute and the bow wraps you up nicely for Christmas </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-keep-or-toss#post-39899 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 05:37:25 +0000 yublocka 39899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm no expert on sweater lengths so can't comment on that. But I do like the way the patterns in the knit create vertical lines down the front.</p> <p>p.s. i have the same ikea shoe rack </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-keep-or-toss#post-39897 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 04:31:36 +0000 marianne 39897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! I think it would have been fine if it were longer, but you're a better judge of course. How did you hem it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-keep-or-toss#post-39895 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 04:19:44 +0000 Maya 39895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's cute. Not sure about the bow. I think an actual belt, maybe with a bow detail would be better. ALthough there is something endearing about it. Hm, I can't make up my mind...</p> <p>But the sweater itself is cute, and I think it has a nice snowy white fluffy feel to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shell-keep-or-toss#post-39893 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 04:14:20 +0000 shell 39893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi ladies,<br /> It's been awhile since I've posted - very busy with school and such, and I figured I sort of needed a break from the forum. But, now that school has mellowed out a little bit, I have time to post. :)</p> <p>Anyway...here is a sweater that was basically a closet orphan for some time. It used to be a very unflattering length, so I decided to hem it up a couple inches. Is this a good look or no? </p> <p><a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r154/seashell27/Outfits/December%2008/P1020850.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i143.photobucket.com/al.....020850.jpg</a></p> <p>FYI: I happened to be wearing a blue cami when I took this photo, but I'd actually wear it with a white one. </p> <p>Also, just thought I'd mention - it's a possible Christmas or Christmas Eve outfit. I'm breaking out from my typical santa and reindeer sweater... Ok, just kidding! Don't go into apoplexy, angie! </p>
