Seattle misses you, Janet. Come visit again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sweaters#post-1850370 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 14:40:29 +0000 Kari 1850370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sweater and the gilet on you so much. I totally respect having areas of your body that you don't love, but I seriously can't see it at all in this outfit. Cut off the ties if they annoy you, but they look fine loose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sweaters#post-1850358 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 13:50:05 +0000 Sara L. 1850358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sweater on you!&nbsp; I don't think you have anything to worry about with this particular piece.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also want to say that I empathize with you.&nbsp; I have a belly pooch that I've always had and always will have.&nbsp; It doesn't matter what I weigh, the belly pooch is always there.&nbsp; I don't have a problem with it, it doesn't cause me angst, I like my body - <i>however</i>, I also don't want my clothes to emphasize the belly pooch.&nbsp; But when I mention it, people say "you're thin, you can wear anything".&nbsp; No, no I can't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sweaters#post-1850352 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 12:15:06 +0000 Janet 1850352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! So just leave the ties untied and hanging, then, as they are in these photos? Alrighty, then! :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie, yes! The second vest photo is the one from Seattle. Such a great piece, I've worn it lots! And the first vest photo is one from Zara, which was a wild card that is really fun for edging up cool-weather looks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sweaters#post-1850330 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 09:28:56 +0000 Jenni NZ 1850330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look too and feel your legs look a mile long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sweaters#post-1850313 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 07:17:11 +0000 Amy Isabella 1850313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sweaters#post-1850312 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 07:05:20 +0000 Greyscale 1850312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie and Jenn that the ties are lengthening. Plus it just looks super cool and relaxed. I think it's perfect on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sweaters#post-1850304 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 06:11:37 +0000 karen13 1850304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with all who have said it looks great and does not emphasis any flaws. And it is good to get the collective YFL wisdom with anything you have a question about. No one needs something to sit unworn in the closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sweaters#post-1850303 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 05:46:48 +0000 Brooklyn 1850303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this on you and would keep it as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sweaters#post-1850178 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 22:29:26 +0000 Angie 1850178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If anything <b>Janet</b>, the ties straighten the curves on your thighs. Don't touch them - and is that your Seattle gilet?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sweaters#post-1850173 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 22:05:27 +0000 Jenn 1850173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! And keep the ties as is. If you cut them short and did the connecting thing, you'd be creating a horizontal line instead of the vertical one. The long ties have a lengthening effect that does the opposite of what you worry they do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sweaters#post-1850167 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 21:45:15 +0000 Janet 1850167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Sterling!

I do like the sweater, I just had doubts about dangling ties at my hips. Really, I'm not hating on my body, just acknowledging that I know where my widest point is and wondering if this sweater calls undue attention to it! I have saddlebags and I know it. Are they my favorite part? No, but I'm making peace with my body. Just to reassure any of you who read dissatisfaction into my post. </p> <p>Sometimes I really do need to have an outside eye. I appreciate all the confirmation that this sweater does look good on me. I'm being more selective and deliberative with my purchases, but sometimes that means second-guessing and a bit of overanalysis! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sweaters#post-1850132 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 20:01:06 +0000 Jane 1850132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with the keepers! It looks great. Good choice.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sweaters#post-1850129 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 19:55:16 +0000 Barbara Diane 1850129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sweaters#post-1850127 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 19:43:29 +0000 bridgie 1850127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater looks great as is.&nbsp; No, if I had to do all that stuff you talk about to make it work, I would send it back.&nbsp; I can't imagine it looking any better than the perfect it is now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sweaters#post-1850124 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 19:32:39 +0000 JAileen 1850124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! It looks great on you, are you kidding?! I agree with Scarlet. You have a great figure, but don't seem to like any of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sweaters#post-1850114 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 17:57:55 +0000 Scarlet 1850114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it on you, so much so that I want it too! I am concerned though that you don't seem to feel fab. From the bottom of my heart, Janet, your figure it so beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sweaters#post-1850110 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 17:37:49 +0000 Dana 1850110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's super cute on you! Like several others, I don't see what you are seeing. You have a great figure! I probably wouldn't cut the ties...you wouldn't want the sweater to fall apart even if you do a really good job.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sweaters#post-1850097 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 16:17:34 +0000 Christina F. 1850097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks awesome on you!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sweaters#post-1850095 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 16:16:15 +0000 Anonymous 1850095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely digging this one!
