And what a fab combo with the turquoise pencil skirt and yellow bag! Love this combination! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turquoise-pencil-skirt-argyle-sweater#post-614438 Mon, 07 May 2012 23:37:27 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 614438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it as is too. Those shades of blue/green really look good on you. Why not wear it as is for the summer and in fall if you want to layer, you could remove the collar then. Best of both worlds... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turquoise-pencil-skirt-argyle-sweater#post-614358 Mon, 07 May 2012 20:54:22 +0000 christieanne 614358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a perfect outfit for a nice day with family. I love the necklace with the collar on the sweater. I think this could be a perfect summer in Seattle top as is and then once you get tired of it you could do the vest conversion. It looks perfect with the Halogen skirt.<br /> I am liking the turquoise with your hair color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turquoise-pencil-skirt-argyle-sweater#post-614343 Mon, 07 May 2012 20:32:16 +0000 Anonymous 614343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are such a treat for the eyes in these colors, Kari! I bet your grandfather and his friends loved seeing beautiful you. The sweater has definitely found a wonderful home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turquoise-pencil-skirt-argyle-sweater#post-614341 Mon, 07 May 2012 20:26:08 +0000 Lisa 614341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this as is, but it would also be a cute sweater vest. You really can go either way here. Nice swap item! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turquoise-pencil-skirt-argyle-sweater#post-614061 Mon, 07 May 2012 13:50:39 +0000 Sara L. 614061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the sweater and love the way you've styled it. I agree with others that you could try leaving it as is for awhile and then altering it. If you don't wear it much in the next few months then alter it sooner rather than later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turquoise-pencil-skirt-argyle-sweater#post-614022 Mon, 07 May 2012 12:26:09 +0000 Meredith1953 614022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari it looks gorgeous as is! I agree with other that there is no rush on changing the shirt right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turquoise-pencil-skirt-argyle-sweater#post-614021 Mon, 07 May 2012 12:25:20 +0000 ManidipaM 614021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whatever you decide to do, that colour is just too fabulous for words on you. Absolutely brilliant for playing up your eyes and the red in your hair. And mustard is the perfect garnish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turquoise-pencil-skirt-argyle-sweater#post-614016 Mon, 07 May 2012 12:03:46 +0000 teeandcee 614016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful outfit! I love the yellow with it all too. </p> <p>What about rolling the sleeves and collar under then taking a pic to see how it'd look? I love it as-is but I'm a big fan of capped sleeves and argyle with collars. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turquoise-pencil-skirt-argyle-sweater#post-613961 Mon, 07 May 2012 07:45:49 +0000 Kiwichik 613961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In your original post I was a fan of removing the collar - but you're right it looks spectacular with that skirt - so I guess it comes down to a decision on how you would wear it the most. I also agree that if you take the collar off you'll need to take the sleeves off so it is truly a vest - it may not be worth the effort when it looks so great as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turquoise-pencil-skirt-argyle-sweater#post-613938 Mon, 07 May 2012 06:29:10 +0000 Deborah 613938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks beautiful on you. I am on the fence re alterations but I think you will know by how much wear you get out of it as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turquoise-pencil-skirt-argyle-sweater#post-613894 Mon, 07 May 2012 04:38:35 +0000 Amy 613894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Kari, I think it's super cute as-is. Claire's idea is a good one, though. Wear it like this for awhile, and then alter it later on to give it new life.</p> <p>Love the aquas and the yellows together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turquoise-pencil-skirt-argyle-sweater#post-613892 Mon, 07 May 2012 04:28:16 +0000 Elly 613892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really would like to see it as an argyle sweater vest you could layer under-- i.e. over dresses, with your teal button down, in other combos. Just my 2 cents! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turquoise-pencil-skirt-argyle-sweater#post-613888 Mon, 07 May 2012 04:21:33 +0000 Anonymous 613888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I take back everything I said on your other thread. I love it as is! Maybe you could wear it like this until you get really tired of it (like all summer at least) and then consider an alteration in the fall. You look amazing in these colors! Just look at your eyes pop with your pretty necklace! You are looking like a fab sweater girl in this outfit! DD15.5 and I just love it!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turquoise-pencil-skirt-argyle-sweater#post-613886 Mon, 07 May 2012 04:14:14 +0000 catgirl 613886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great with the yellow bag! I saw you were thinking of cutting off the collar and I think that would be really versatile too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turquoise-pencil-skirt-argyle-sweater#post-613855 Mon, 07 May 2012 03:08:26 +0000 Transcona Shannon 613855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh Kari - I wouldn't change anything with this sweater - it looks so fantastic on you as is! It looks smashing with the pencil skirt and I love the yellow accessories. Fab outfit on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/turquoise-pencil-skirt-argyle-sweater#post-613846 Mon, 07 May 2012 02:52:35 +0000 Kari 613846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today my parents and I visited my grandfather and his lady friend - there was a free concert in their assisted living community that we met up at, and had a great time listening to a great classical guitarist treating us to beautiful Mexican music. </p> <p>I broke out my <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds">new turquoise argyle sweater from the Seattle clothing swap.</a> (I'm on Team Wear and couldn't wait to try this out with my Halogen pencil skirt once I saw how great the colors looked together.) I paired it with my turquoise mutli-strand beaded necklace, yellow Fidji slingback lace-up pumps, and mustard Kate Spade handbag.</p> <p>So the bottom line is that I'm waffling right now on what alterations I should make to the sweater - if anything. I feel like it would be more wearable if it were sleeveless than with the short cap sleeves. At first I was thinking about taking out the collar, but after wearing it I rather like it - but as a sleeveless garment, it would be a lot more wearable if it were also collarless.</p> <p>Tough decisions! Perhaps I need to sleep on it and visit a tailor.</p> <p>It was a gorgeous, sunny day and for once some natural light actually strayed into my living room, so I snapped a couple gratuitous self-portraits. </p>
