It feels good to clean out the closet ruthlessly, doesn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-clean-out-part-1#post-43544 Tue, 13 Jan 2009 02:40:17 +0000 Angie 43544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are making excellent closet purging progress. Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-clean-out-part-1#post-43480 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 21:35:49 +0000 Tanya 43480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all very much! I have decided to get rid of all of these sweaters.<br /> I'll post more of the sweaters I am undecided on later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-clean-out-part-1#post-43373 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 13:52:25 +0000 Inge 43373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've done an enormous amount of work Tanya, I'm really impressed. I know it takes ages to sort through all your clothing, trying everything on, and then taking pictures. But in the end you get a wardrobe with only those items that really work for you, so that's a reward in itself.</p> <p>I'm with Angie here, there's nothing wrong with these sweaters, but I think you can do better (actually, we all know you have bought some gorgeous things, so there you go;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-clean-out-part-1#post-43359 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 07:09:26 +0000 Angie 43359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dear Tanya, you took the words out of my mouth. All of these pieces look absolutely fine but none of them score 9 or 10. I say pass the whole lot on, or pop them in a holding zone to see if you miss them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-clean-out-part-1#post-43330 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 05:41:57 +0000 Tanya 43330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all very much for your opinions! The more i am looking at the photos of these sweaters, the more I am leaning towards getting rid of all of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-clean-out-part-1#post-43318 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 05:19:41 +0000 shell 43318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>tanya, we could never get tired of your posts! you're such a sweetie to comment on pretty much everyone else's posts, there's no reason we shouldn't return the favor! :)</p> <p>here are my thoughts: </p> <p>1. teal cropped - i like it. could work with a dress or a white blouse and jeans/skirt/whatever. </p> <p>2. navy cropped - not my favorite. if we're being ruthless (as you asked in an earlier post), i'd only give it a 6 or 7. </p> <p>3. light blue cardi - seems dated. id get rid of it.</p> <p>4. striped cardi - too small and not in love with the print. id say toss.</p> <p>5. missoni-esque sweater - i personally dont like "keyhole" tops, so id say toss.</p> <p>6. blue sweater - sleeves look a touch short. i don't love the ruffly-ness on the sleeves, but it's not so bad. maybe a 7 or 8 on crs scale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-clean-out-part-1#post-43308 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 04:52:11 +0000 Anonymous 43308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, I really like the light blue tie cardi. Second is the light blue sweater. I could see the cropped cardies worn with a sheath dress or other dress with a fitted top. The striped cardi is hard to see well, but the shoulder fit looks off as well as the pulling, and the Missoni-esque sweater doesn't seem the best color for you. To me it seems dated too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-clean-out-part-1#post-43305 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 04:47:08 +0000 Amanda 43305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya -- I like the light blue cropped tie sweater although I don't have any ideas off the top of my head for outfits. I also like the colors of the striped cardigan -- maybe try it unbuttoned with a colored belt? I think the Missoni-esque top is unique and would try it with a black cami as well. I feel neutral on the other sweaters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-clean-out-part-1#post-43302 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 04:38:57 +0000 Antje 43302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, I'm with Shana, I find the cropped sweaters a bit dated, too. I think the second one is pretty and since you like it I'd keep it, but I don't have good ideas for how to wear it in different ways. I'm not fond of the first one; if the middle part is indeed sequins it's just a little juvenile or something.</p> <p>Amongst the others, I'm neutral on most, but I'm very fond of the missoni-esque sweater. I'd definitely keep it and also try a black cami under it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-clean-out-part-1#post-43292 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 02:57:19 +0000 shana 43292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, the cropped sweaters seem a little dated to me (unless perhaps you wear them with dresses?). The buttons are pulling a little on the striped cardi although I think it would be fine if you leave them unbuttoned - it's a cute sweater and the colors look great with denim. I like the other sweaters. Great job on the closet clean out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-clean-out-part-1#post-43270 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 00:59:33 +0000 Nicole 43270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Tanya, </p> <p>I dont have any ideas on the cropped cardis--they are very pretty though. Does the first one have sequence? If so, I'd imagine the sequence makes it difficult to wear, no?</p> <p>I don't care much for the striped silk cardi. It's a little too sporty for your style, and the buttons are pulling a little bit.</p> <p>I think the sleeves on the light blue sweater may be a tad too short.</p> <p>I like all the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-clean-out-part-1#post-43265 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 00:39:09 +0000 Tanya 43265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The final part of my mega closet clean out is devoted to sweaters - I left them for the end beacuse there is the most work to be done with them and I have a lot of them. I also find this the most difficult - I have a bunch of them that are flattering fit and color, good condition, yet I still hardly ever wear them - maybe because I find them boring or something.</p> <p>So I have put around 10 of them in the donate bag, and have about 15 or so that I am unsure about. Since there are so many I am dividing them into a couple of posts. Btw, please feel free to completely skip these sweater posts of mine since I can imagine that by now you all may very well be tired of my clean out posts. </p> <p>So here are the first 6, the first two cropped cardis I actually really like and want to keep, but am looking for ideas on how to wear them. Of course, let me know if you think I shouldn't keep them in the first place. If you prefer to look at the whole album at once, here's the link to that:</p> <p><a href="http://s300.photobucket.com/albums/nn19/dancing_starr/Big_cleanout_01_09/" rel="nofollow">http://s300.photobucket.com/al.....out_01_09/</a></p> <p>1.
