I really love it and oh how I wish I had a cropped sweater. Where is everyone finding them?</p> <p>I love pointy toed flats, but I like these loafers, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-a-cropped-sweater-or-a-longer-shirt#post-1189802 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 20:00:26 +0000 Jenava 1189802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>suzanne, you are right, the sweater sleeves got pushed up a bit to accommodate pushing the rolled sleeves of the shirt up. &nbsp;I can unroll the sleeves by one and use the sweater to keep the sleeves of the shirt from falling down. &nbsp;This would also lengthen the sweater sleeves so that they don't end at the same point as the sweater hem. &nbsp;I see now that that vertical line it's creating contributes to an odd proportion, &nbsp;Good eyes, ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-a-cropped-sweater-or-a-longer-shirt#post-1189763 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 19:24:22 +0000 lyn67 1189763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am surprise loving this! But it's PERFECT!!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-a-cropped-sweater-or-a-longer-shirt#post-1189747 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 19:11:45 +0000 suzanne 1189747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful. Your hairstyle and book ending really draw attention to your eyes and face. Really beautiful. Loafers look great. You're right there is something just a little too organized or linear about the sleeves of the sweater and the sleeves of the shirt. Or maybe it just seems that way because it is a new silhouette. So, you could try having the shirt sleeves longer, or less well-folded, perhaps, and a tad longer? Or you could try having the sweater sleeves a bit shorter so they don't end quite so close to the hemline. Although as I look again at your photo, you pushed up the sweater sleeves, so maybe that is a factor. Part of my bias on this look is the way the boxy sweater looks against the shirt at the sleeve and hem. So I tend to like the flow point at the sleeve and that's a bit missing in yours. Yet, you look fantastic. No question. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-a-cropped-sweater-or-a-longer-shirt#post-1189279 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 03:18:09 +0000 Jaime 1189279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous - loafers make it somehow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-a-cropped-sweater-or-a-longer-shirt#post-1188770 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 17:32:21 +0000 Day Vies 1188770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It can be hard trying out a silhouette for the first time. I think you did just fine. Definitely try out those adjustments -- they'll make you feel better. Confidence is an invisible accessory it's definitely needed when we're trying something new. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-a-cropped-sweater-or-a-longer-shirt#post-1188732 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 16:42:12 +0000 Angie 1188732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And how fun it is&nbsp;to see your outfits again.

I'm encouraged now to try it too! Here's my one little nitpicky suggestion -- I'm thinking maybe of pulling the sweater sleeves down just below the elbows so the end of the sleeve doesn't line up exactly with the hem of the crop sweater? Does that make sense? I could be completely off base though. Just wondering if that might soften the strong horizontal line, although the whole look on you really is flattering as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-a-cropped-sweater-or-a-longer-shirt#post-1188567 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 12:43:32 +0000 El Cee 1188567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning look just as it is… but a longer shirt would be fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-a-cropped-sweater-or-a-longer-shirt#post-1188522 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 09:57:59 +0000 Anonymous 1188522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! I think it works well. The length of the cropped sweater is great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-a-cropped-sweater-or-a-longer-shirt#post-1188515 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 08:52:11 +0000 Neel 1188515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it works too. I also wonder if it would look cooler if you unbuttoned another button on top ... If you don't risk flashing that is ;). It might work more harmoniously with the v-neck of the tee. Love your cool loafers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-a-cropped-sweater-or-a-longer-shirt#post-1188511 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 08:00:12 +0000 Deborah 1188511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed this works. You have made the look 'yours'. You have brought sleek and elegant to a current trend. Gorgeous </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-a-cropped-sweater-or-a-longer-shirt#post-1188430 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 05:09:40 +0000 CocoLion 1188430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this, I think it works. &nbsp;Loafers work too, they keep the look classic but still fashionable and intentional. &nbsp;And you look so svelte Jenava! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-a-cropped-sweater-or-a-longer-shirt#post-1188428 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 05:03:18 +0000 catgirl 1188428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are on the same page, Jeneva!&nbsp; I think this looks great - it's a sleeker look but really well executed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-a-cropped-sweater-or-a-longer-shirt#post-1188422 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 04:59:07 +0000 Sveta 1188422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think longer shirt would be great but this one works as well I think. For me it is more a combination of this shirt wit the bottoms: for skinny bottoms I would prefer to see a longer shirt...<br />I really love your hair like this: brings up your beautiful eyes and hair. Very elegant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-a-cropped-sweater-or-a-longer-shirt#post-1188418 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 04:55:40 +0000 Jenava 1188418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My shirt maybe wasn't long enough? &nbsp;I have a pair of pointed toe flats that also might have been better, but it was too cold for them yet, I think. &nbsp;I stuck with these patent loafers.</p> <p>I did pause for several minutes in front of the mirror before deciding to take a chance and leave the house in this. &nbsp;Curious to know thoughts of you all... </p>
