Also like the striped top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-and-dots-which-to-keep#post-1208768 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 19:57:23 +0000 Jewell 1208768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is the striped top, followed by the dotty pullover. All three look good on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-and-dots-which-to-keep#post-1208640 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 17:37:10 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1208640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It would be good to see the dots in another size or color--it is the least ordinary of these items. I don't think the jacket or striped top are really special enough, quite frankly. I would suggest looking for other examples if stripes are something you really want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-and-dots-which-to-keep#post-1208638 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 17:36:59 +0000 Gigi 1208638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they all look good, but my favorite is 3, then 1, then 2.</p> <p>Something else you may want to consider as you choose is whether you need anything that is more on the light-colored end of the spectrum. I used to buy all my tops in white or cream, but then I started buying color...and almost all the colors I have bought are dark. Now I don't have many light-colored tops and have to go on the search.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-and-dots-which-to-keep#post-1208625 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 17:26:01 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1208625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jacket a lot. But if it's for your weekend/casual wardrobe you might not reach for it as much as a cardigan or less blazer ish jacket, i dunno. The pattern in the dotty sweater is super cute but I wonder whether a slightly more fluid fit would look more flattering and current. I am not a huge fan of dropped dolman shoulders but the striped top could be very useful. Sorry, I sound noncommittal but I think all of these are nice but not stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-and-dots-which-to-keep#post-1208572 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 15:58:56 +0000 unfrumped 1208572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun patterns! I think the jacket is not the right cut and there are more striped jackets out there. The dotty pullover is still a bit dark on my screen to see, bit may be the most polished. Might try size up as suggested. Sizing these days is driving me crazy if I can't try on about 3 in- store.<br /> Do you want to try to identify your goal for this piece? Do you need toppers or tops or are just trying to add pattern anywhere? I always have to remind myself to think how will the new item " make" outfits for the occasions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-and-dots-which-to-keep#post-1208571 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 15:57:43 +0000 Angie 1208571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the striped top and polka dot jumper best. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-and-dots-which-to-keep#post-1208557 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 15:42:32 +0000 Liz 1208557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenny, I forget ... are you the one who emphasizes having a&nbsp;small number of items in your closet? If so, I'd keep the item that is different enough from what you already have to create outfits you couldn't create otherwise.&nbsp;</p> <p>My personal favorite is the dotty pullover (if I were evaluating it for myself, I'd probably try on the size up to see if I liked it with even more ease).&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the idea of a versatile&nbsp;striped blazer, but not this particular one, because of the abruptly squared off bottom edges.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-and-dots-which-to-keep#post-1208549 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 15:38:02 +0000 adorkable 1208549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all. I think the polka dot sweater is my favorite of the three but they really all look spectacular on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-and-dots-which-to-keep#post-1208544 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 15:33:38 +0000 Beth Ann 1208544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jenny!</p> <p>These three items are all great modern classic pieces --- very versatile, with nice fits.&nbsp; The length of the jacket is great, in my mind.&nbsp; It is, however, kind of unstructured for a jacket.&nbsp; Now, it's probably as comfy as a sweatshirt, which is a great feature, but the sleeves and hem are finished more like a cardi, which makes is a bit more casual.&nbsp; Whether this works for you depends mostly on how you want to wear it.</p> <p>I'd love to see the polka dot sweater with a light or bright bottom -- that would be fun!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-and-dots-which-to-keep#post-1208528 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 15:17:06 +0000 Marmee 1208528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure that i can choose! &nbsp;They all seem so different, it seems like they could all work. &nbsp;Perhaps the jacket first, and then the dotty pullover, and then the striped shirt? &nbsp;Or perhaps the striped tee should rank higher because it is a little more fluid? &nbsp;Do all three pieces go with other items in your wardrobe?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-and-dots-which-to-keep#post-1208501 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 14:21:51 +0000 Jenny H 1208501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neel, you are so right, the photos of the first blazer are very dark. This should be better, I hope. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-and-dots-which-to-keep#post-1208496 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 14:14:16 +0000 Neel 1208496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pullovers best. Nice prints and looks pretty on you. I am not very sure of the jacket. Mainly because I am unable to see it clearly. Would it be possible to wear a lower contrast top and take a pic? Dark colors are so hard to judge </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-and-dots-which-to-keep#post-1208494 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 14:12:35 +0000 Golden 1208494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favs in order are #1, #3,and then #2. They are all cute so good luck, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-and-dots-which-to-keep#post-1208490 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 14:10:08 +0000 Jenny H 1208490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are three items I am considering for my wardrobe. I don't think I need all three. Which do you like best? Thoughts/comments?</p> <p>1)Striped Blazer per viva's recommendation that a patterned blazer would be a great addition to my wardrobe (I like it but it ends pretty close to the widest part of my body)</p> <p>2)Striped pullover (it's got wide holes that are hard to see in the photo)</p> <p>3)Dot pullover from Loft (an Angie pick from the blog)</p> <p>ETA: All these are intended to go into my casual capsule for evenings and weekends.</p>
