How about a straight front shot? And what is wrong with start trek anyway </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-question-statement-sweater#post-1036973 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:34:46 +0000 Anonymous 1036973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just noticing how your skin comes alive with that orange! Look at the peaches in your cheeks. The sweater would be fun with a pencil skirt and pumps, but I'm missing the Star Trek reference. Isn't that a stylized bow in the front side?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-question-statement-sweater#post-1036909 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 19:10:56 +0000 amiable 1036909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for the suggestions! &nbsp;I didn't like the black bottoms with the sweater. &nbsp;This gives me many more options to try.</p> <p>Maybe cobalt bottoms, light gray jeans, pink cargo pants, or olive.</p> <p>And I have an aqua gingham buttondown that might have to be tried with this. &nbsp;In my mind it's gross - but you never know until you try :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-question-statement-sweater#post-1036894 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 18:50:46 +0000 Sheila 1036894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I owned this sweater, I would try to mix it up a little, just to take some of the bossiness off of it. Like wearing blue faded or dark blue denim jeans...or light grey pants. Maybe with a small- or mid-scale plaid or gingham shirt under it. In other words, I wouldn't let the sweater steal the whole show and I would not wear black bottoms with it. Since I am a redhead, you can take or leave my ideas but they are just my thoughts about what I would do with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-question-statement-sweater#post-1036891 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 18:49:29 +0000 Gaylene 1036891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's an interesting piece and I'd agree with with Rachylou that I'd stay away from anything steamlined, Star Trek-ish. </p> <p>If you want to pair the top with pants, maybe try for a straight-leg look instead of a skinny-leg. Angie has pinned several pics of higher-waisted, more fluid pants worn with short tops looks for this fall and for Spring 2014 which might&nbsp; be worth trying.</p> <p>I'd also experiment with non-black bottoms to keep the Star Trek vibe under control. This blog <a href="http://www.brandigirlblog.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.brandigirlblog.com/</a> is one of my favorite places to check out possible colour combinations. The author's colour palettes are so inspirational and she does a good job of explaining colour theory to novices like myself.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-question-statement-sweater#post-1036881 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 18:21:58 +0000 rachylou 1036881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. Definitely a cool sweater. I think I'd think hipster again, and not Star Trek streamlined (i.e., either modern or ultra modern classic). I frankly, would try it with a plaid button down (light cotton, not oxford cloth or flannel or anything). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-question-statement-sweater#post-1036879 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 18:16:59 +0000 amiable 1036879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I picked up this statement sweater, and now I'm stumped on styling it. &nbsp;Also, it's shorter than I realized when I bought it - does it need to be reserved for wear with skirts?</p> <p>What do you think? &nbsp;Is the sweater worth keeping, and how should I style it? &nbsp;Here's it's just with simple black pants, because I couldn't come up with anything else.</p> <p>The colors are orange and black - the mid-tone section is kind of a heathered orange and black together. </p>
