I agree with you that fluid and drapy are the way to go. Which is why I liked pic 1 best of the second lot (but not the scratchiness)</p> <p>I can't stay long here (last day of current job, lots to do) but just wanted to say that, given I have 2 of the smaller size, and very limited chance of getting a bigger size ( I could order it, but am reluctant to get a shipping charge again) how much of a deal breaker is the small size? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr/page/2#post-1274504 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:49:22 +0000 Angie 1274504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, don't worry. I didn't think you were rude or impolite at all. ((HUGS)).&nbsp;</p> <p>Anne, take the middle road with a fluid fit instead of an oversized one. Make sure you partially tuck or faux tuck. Make sure the sleeves are structured. You are going to be fine. Promise. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr/page/2#post-1274385 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 12:11:09 +0000 Diana 1274385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the sized up polka dot. I have to say your waist looks TINY in this sweater, I see no widening at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr/page/2#post-1274379 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 12:06:12 +0000 Alassë 1274379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I'm sorry, Anne. I liked the sized up dotted sweater best on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr/page/2#post-1274298 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 10:03:53 +0000 lyn67 1274298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 and 3 from second set are gorgeous! +Your original dotted one, 1-2 size up, and layered also lovely! Don't see preggy at all, HAHA:-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr/page/2#post-1274260 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 07:05:15 +0000 abhicreative12 1274260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice pics and this post has so many inputs...Thanks for that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1274248 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 06:00:43 +0000 anne 1274248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Gigi. No luck I am afraid. Sussans had no knitwear for sale. Portmans had no sizes left of the dotty jumper. I want to give up on shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1274161 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 02:37:05 +0000 Gigi 1274161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, I too like the sized-up version of the polka-dot sweater. Regarding the oversized jumpers, I know what you mean...we all have figure-flattering priorities that make us feel like "us" and make us feel good. I saw in the post you linked to that you feel good about your outfit when your waist is defined. I am like that too (I have a small bust also). I don't like anything that is too androgynous, and obscuring the waistline for me makes me feel too "male." I hope you have luck at Sussan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1274153 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 02:23:23 +0000 anne 1274153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, just coming back to say that I am worried you'd think I was being rude in my last post. I wanted you to try and understand where I was coming from, but I do really respect you and the last thing I'd want is to be impolite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1274112 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 01:42:01 +0000 anne 1274112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for all of you for chiming in, some of you several times! And I appreciate your input Angie</p> <p>You are right that my eye hasn't adjusted. There is no way I think it looks smashing!! When I look at the second batch of pics (possible exception of the first one) I think of the sort of things I'd wear as a uni student while pulling an allnighter, the sort of outfits my friends who have NO interest in fashion and much as I love them, are pretty frumpy, wear.<br /> This look certainly hasn't caught on in work wear in the professional setting I'm currently in - still lots of tailored looks there, so I am just not seeing it around me.</p> <p>And I find boxiness hard. Long drapy layers I am much better with, but something in my style education (Not sure of the source - Leah Feldman perhaps?) sets off alarm bells at any item that looks as wide as it is long.</p> <p>I don't think I'm alone in ylf here - As she has said above,Claire hasn't embraced this look either, and I am pretty sure I haven't seen much of it on Lyn*. And neither has E, with whom I share lots of body type similarities, though she is slighter. And in this recent thread Fruitful, who shares my small bustedness, was advised to go body con!<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-depressed-about-weight-loss" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....eight-loss</a> </p> <p>Lyn - I forgot to say yesterday that I do take your point about the tunic look not being so great for short legs. But I find it hard to balance leg revealing and feeling too boxy on top.</p> <p>Rachy - I like the first one best too. But the silver threads were irritating. And I like the colour of 3 too.</p> <p>Plan of action. Lunch today - hit Sussan, and try to see if this top is available another size up.</p> <p>Oh and I seem to have dropped nearly a kilo overnight and am back in normal (though high) range. I think yesterday was a one nighter caused by the unfortunate discovery On Sun night that gluten free bread, which I dislike heartily, is quite bearable when used as a pizza base! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1273706 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 17:33:22 +0000 rachylou 1273706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sized up black polka dot a whole lot. Think it's great with the pencil and layered. I almost feel you need this sweater. I think it's "easy."</p> <p>Of the second set of sweaters - I like the pattern of #1, the fit of #2, and colour of #3. The only one I'd buy for you is #1 though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1273676 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 16:53:22 +0000 Anonymous 1273676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, that sounds like a tough place to be in. I'm just commiserating here--I didn't fall in love with the new crop of jumpers last F/W either so I pretty much just sat out the trends. It takes a while for my eye to get adjusted to new things and I'd rather wait until I really love something&nbsp;before jumping in anyway. It's also really hard to shop when the "shopping anointing" isn't on you, lol! Nothing like the pressure of the job change to make you feel like it's now or never.&nbsp;Your body looks great, and your hair is probably just getting into it's F/W rhythm (do you get bad static from trying on pullovers like I do?) and a trim will whip it into shape no doubt. Good luck with your sweater hunt and your new job!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1273667 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 16:33:21 +0000 Angie 1273667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say that the first jumper - although adorable, Anne&nbsp;- is too small. I prefer the size up much more. Even two sizes up maybe.&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVING the second lot of jumpers even more - but they must be welted or partially tucked for structure though - which you did for the first three photos.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anne, you love body con and don't feel that waist surrender or any amount of bagginess is flattering. So I get that the shift in fashion is hard for you at the moment. Hang in there. Trust me. You look smashing in those baggy jumpers.&nbsp;xo</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1273598 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:42:55 +0000 Beth Ann 1273598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with ceit!&nbsp; The dotted sweater, sized up is extremely flattering on you.&nbsp; Your sense of your body is probably a bit challenged right now, if you feel heavier or in need of a haircut.&nbsp; The changes you see and feel with weight are extremely subtle, and I don't think you're in need of what I call "camo" (for camouflage) dressing.&nbsp; Still, you need to feel happy in it.&nbsp; Confidence is a huge part of style and, with a limited budget and wardrobe size, it's even more important.</p> <p>I'm in sore need of a haircut, too!&nbsp; Hope we can both find time for this really soon (I have a wedding to attend this weekend, so I'd better get hopping). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1273596 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:40:05 +0000 anne 1273596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, I'll check out Sussan. Usually they are too pricey for my budget, but since it is sale season i might be able to afford something.<br />And yes, the ones I tried on today seemed too big, and frankly frumpy for the most part!<br />My manager was saying today that she hasn't bought any jumpers this season either (and she is a much more decisive and shoppingy person than I) and &nbsp;I think it shows how hard this season is.<br />Khards &nbsp;- I hear you. I think the problem is that I haven't seen anything else I'm even close to liking, I know I have underbuying, perfectionistic&nbsp;tendencies AND I find shopping extremely exhausting and at the moment I am finding everyday life even without shopping pretty tiring. And next week I start a new job where I can't just nip into the city centre to the shops in my lunch break. (so just this week left to do that!)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1273528 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 13:10:50 +0000 Anonymous 1273528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it sized up! I think the other sweaters look too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1273447 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 10:38:00 +0000 Lyn D. 1273447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The latest ones &nbsp;look almost&nbsp;TOO roomy in the pics Anne :(<br />I can understand your frustration here!<br />&nbsp;The original one sized-up is my fav so far, and this shorter style is IMO more flattering than the longer tunic-style that was so popular in recent years, as it shows-off and lengthens the leg-line.<br />This year I am wearing a slightly oversized top- of- thigh length&nbsp;at front and just covering the rear- H/L jumper for layering from Sussan- have you looked there at all?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1273432 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 08:43:42 +0000 anne 1273432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kiwigirl and Lyn. (and all those who chimed in earlier too) The next size up isn't as tight across the bus and the sleeves are not as tight. It is just over an inch longer, which might not be enough to be really adequate coverage for all my jeans.</p> <p>Gosh, I don't know!!! Maybe it isn't my season for jumpers. The styles really don't seem very flattering - I am questioning why I would want to wear something with a wide loose band right over the waist! Surely those lines are broadening. I really preferred the slim line tunic sweaters I was wearing 2 or 3 years ago.</p> <p>I kind of feel like nothing looks good at the moment, but that is partly a function of weighing more than I normally do, and even more so, or being really unhappy with my hair. I keep thinking that it looks nice worn out, in the morning, only to get to work and see that it doesn't any more. And today I didn't even have a hair lacky available to tie it up. No more down dos until I get a haircut!</p> <p>I made myself try on some more sweaters at the shop. Pics in a minute </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1273421 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 07:50:07 +0000 Lyn D. 1273421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is the size-up a little longer Anne?<br />Hard to tell with the skirt, but if it is- it certainly won't look too big, and might be better with your jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1273419 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 07:45:14 +0000 Sal 1273419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure that looks that much bigger.<br />I really like the sweater with the pencil skirt, it is flattering and smart. &nbsp;But I am all for saying no to things that you are not sure about especially if they only works in limited ways.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1273415 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 07:15:26 +0000 anne 1273415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One size up </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1273392 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 05:57:29 +0000 Sharon 1273392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is cute, but I think you would be better with one that you can wear on it's own with jeans. My new rule is that if I don't feel fantastic in it, I'm not buying it and it sounds like you are feeling doubtful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1273344 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 04:39:40 +0000 Gigi 1273344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think the top makes you look pregnant, but it seems to me that it will be annoying to have to layer it every time you want to wear it with low-rise bottoms. It is definitely cute, but I guess you will have to decide whether the lack of versatility will be a problem. Also, since it is quite short, perhaps even wearing it with higher-rise bottoms will cause you to be pulling it down throughout the day. Sometimes tops can ride up with sitting and standing and general moving around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1272866 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 17:56:17 +0000 Anonymous 1272866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sweater on you! It looks sophisticated with the skirt and fun and fresh&nbsp;layered over the button-down. But I do agree that it may not be the most versatile thing ever if you have to worry about layering it just so every time you wear it with a lower-waisted bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1272832 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 16:50:45 +0000 Anonymous 1272832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, I like it with the pencil skirt (amazing on your cute little bod), but if you need a versatile sweater/jumper that will also go with your jeans, you might want to keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1272829 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 16:44:57 +0000 Laura J 1272829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this top on you, don't think it makes you look pregnant, and looks good without the shirt, with the shirt, and with the skirt. &nbsp;But I agree with everyone above that says if you aren't sure, it's probably not for you. &nbsp;I have 2&nbsp;polka dot sweaters (after getting rid of half my sweaters) so I'm probably biased when it comes to polka dot anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1272752 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 14:22:34 +0000 Ledonna N. 1272752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this top a lot also it fits very well but I agree also with Kkards. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1272743 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 14:12:39 +0000 kkards 1272743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like this a lot, but if you have to talk yourself into it, then its not the right one….NEXT </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-pics-kr#post-1272731 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 13:50:31 +0000 anne 1272731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can try tomorrow.
