It's fine if the sweater shrinks in length but maybe I'll not risk ruining it completely by putting it in the dryer. It's been very useful these past few days with cold days in the 50F. Could you wear your short sweaters over a tunic to give you the length you need for your new style? I'm thinking of something similar to the photos below. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-update#post-2093907 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 04:29:23 +0000 Anonymous 2093907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so cute. #1 is my favorite. Trying to shrink a sweater I usually shorten it in length. I have a donation bag full of sweaters that are too short now. Most are second hand. I suspect that they have been in a dryer. Is it ok with you if the sweater shrinks in length? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-update#post-2093903 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 04:15:55 +0000 salwa ahmed 2093903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so nice red coat , and you so beautiful </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-update#post-2093900 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 04:11:01 +0000 Bonnie 2093900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runcarla: Your are right about the value of outfit labs and I should do more of them. Wearing the jacket with a column of white is good idea. I will try it soon since this is the season to wear wool. I have worn it with my faded blue jeans and a white sweater and that worked well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-update#post-2093773 Sun, 19 Jan 2020 18:45:26 +0000 Carla 2093773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great thing about a successful outfit lab is the number of FFB combinations that arise from the exercise! &nbsp;I have a soft spot for your beautiful ruana - so that is my favourite, however you have a good set of outfits here and discovered a solution for your outing that was flexible enough to suit the occasion.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Would you wear the jacket in #6 with a column of winter white?<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-update#post-2093770 Sun, 19 Jan 2020 18:31:53 +0000 Bonnie 2093770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cee, Angie, &amp; taylor: Thank you so much for your comments.

I had fun putting these outfits together by shopping my closet and I'm glad they worked.</p> <p>shevia: Thank you. The sweater is great for keeping warm on our infrequent cold days, so I'd better not risk ruining it. Shrinking something is indeed unpredictable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-update#post-2093662 Sun, 19 Jan 2020 02:40:34 +0000 Jaime 2093662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The moto looks fabulous over the black column but keeping warm definitely is more important. My next fave is #7 with the fringe shawl jacket. Shrinking only is worth trying as the last step before getting rid of the item. Very unpredictable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-update#post-2093651 Sun, 19 Jan 2020 01:13:20 +0000 kellygirl 2093651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I actually like all of these. The moto looks great over the column of black. I also like the contrast with the turtleneck. My fave is probably the ruana style topper--it has a great artistic vibe that I'm used to seeing you sport. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-update#post-2093598 Sat, 18 Jan 2020 19:03:15 +0000 Bonnie 2093598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>nemosmom, rachylou, &amp; Cardiff girl: Thank you so much for the kind words. I did this outfit lab because I tried Angie's #3 moto outfit and then thought I'd try different variations. I'm glad some of them worked. SYC was fun. Last year, I got so many new clothes that I mostly concentrated on making outfits with them. The newest items here are the gray sweater and black high rise skinnies. The rest are 3-5 years old but I still like them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-update#post-2093594 Sat, 18 Jan 2020 18:42:10 +0000 Cardiff girl 2093594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If forced to choose #3,5 and#7 are my paticular favourites but to be honest they all look good and very much in keeping with your style.New “do”looks good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-update#post-2093590 Sat, 18 Jan 2020 18:37:39 +0000 rachylou 2093590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, Bonnie!

I also love the long burgundy patterned cardi, too. Your haircut is lovely, too! All killer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-update#post-2093572 Sat, 18 Jan 2020 17:47:35 +0000 Bonnie 2093572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Synne &amp; suntiger: Thank you both so much: That moto is a real workhorse for me. I wear it year round with shirts in the summer and sweaters in winter. It's my most worn topper because it's so comfy and versatile. There was a burgundy version at Nordstrom's last fall that I was really temped to buy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-update#post-2093570 Sat, 18 Jan 2020 17:41:52 +0000 Bonnie 2093570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>notsaf: Thank you for your kind words. I agree that #6 needs a different top. I usually wear it with my orange and blue sweaters which seem to work well. Maybe I need to add a brownish sweater to my wardrobe.&nbsp;</p> <p>kkards: Great observations! The ruana is a fun top and usually worn with a blue sweater which works well. I agree that #1 and #2 work and #3 just seems wrong. Thank you.</p> <p>slim cat: Thank you. Adding a silver necklace to the all black is a great idea.&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz: Thank you. I did get my hair cut short last week and am still working on learning to style it but I do really like it this way. Maybe more of a wedge next time but it's a work in progress. The sweater is probably a roll neck and really useful for cold days. I really didn't notice how wide it was until I saw these photos. It didn't look this way in the mirror.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-update#post-2093569 Sat, 18 Jan 2020 17:40:00 +0000 Anonymous 2093569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your moto and red coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-update#post-2093567 Sat, 18 Jan 2020 17:33:20 +0000 Synne 2093567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cool moto! I also really like your blazer! 10/10 from me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-update#post-2093563 Sat, 18 Jan 2020 17:00:17 +0000 Suz 2093563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonnie, I think the moto outfit looks sensational on you! Amazing, really. The blue is stunning. (Love your hair, too).&nbsp;</p> <p>You look great in all iterations of your SYC outfit but I especially like the one you chose for the occasion and it sounds like it worked out.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sometimes those wider turtlenecks are designed that way on purpose for layering, I think. Is it a roll neck? They're often like that.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-update#post-2093562 Sat, 18 Jan 2020 16:57:32 +0000 slim cat 2093562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It all looks very nice on you - love light grey over black! Fav outfit #5 and #7. I think all black is a bit too harsh even with blue jacket over it - maybe some bling to lighten it up ( silver pendant or chain, brooch/pin, earrings or hair clip..). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-update#post-2093561 Sat, 18 Jan 2020 16:53:41 +0000 kkards 2093561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmmm. i like the moto outfit in #1. &nbsp;not as much a fan of #3 as for me the turtleneck seems to get lost under the moto, in #2 the turtleneck shines...i like versions 4,5 and 6. #7 is nice, but for me the cardi/wrap over the is a more boho than the rest of the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-update#post-2093559 Sat, 18 Jan 2020 16:40:30 +0000 notsaf 2093559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonnie, you're looking smashing as always! The only one I'm not a fan of is 6: I think the jacket it would look better with a darker top to create more dimension. That blue on you is stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-update#post-2093555 Sat, 18 Jan 2020 16:23:11 +0000 Bonnie 2093555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agreed to participate in the SYC Challenge going on this month and have not bought anything new yet. I added so many new items last year, about 45 including gifts, that my closet feels more than sufficient. I know that items will need replacing sometime this year so I will be shopping eventually but for now I am content. Angie's moto post yesterday inspired to try copying one of the outfits so I tried it. It didn't really work for me and I think I need a different black top or maybe black straight leg jeans, which I don't have, to make it work. I had a lunch date with an old friend and she suggested going to a restaurant where we might have to sit outside because of the crowds, so I wanted to dress warmly.&nbsp;So I shopped my closet and found this warm sweater and tried it over the turtleneck and jeans from outfit #1 with several of my toppers. I wore version #4 to lunch. Of course we were seated inside by a sunny window and I wound up taking off layers which wouldn't have been possible if I'd worn the wool sweater without the tneck so all worked out well. The sweater has a strangely wide turtleneck opening so I'm hoping I can shrink it a bit. Have you successfully done this?&nbsp; </p>
