I also like the work look mixed with black and charcoal. Very cute about the secret identity I am sorry hubs is not equally excited. Sometimes men have been known to change their minds, although they might not exactly declare it when it happens. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose/page/2#post-465502 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 07:51:51 +0000 goldenpig 465502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love you in the copper--glad you're keeping it! How neat that you tucked it in too--love the secret UWP identity. I am copycatting and have one on the way to try too!</p> <p>I totally understand about the hubs. I am having the exact same problem with mine. He HATES the cropped fur jacket, or as he called it, "that muskrat you're wearing". I don't know what to do if he has such a negative reaction to something that I love...if I keep it he will complain every time I wear it. Do I dig in my (leopard) heels or not? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-465412 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 02:46:19 +0000 rae 465412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seems like the copper will be staying! I will be taking Angie's size advice and staying in the small as well. As much as I like the sweater, I think it would be a shame not to keep it - hubs also objected to skinny jeans when I first tried them, so maybe he will come around someday. </p> <p>Tarzy, you said it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-465327 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 01:03:58 +0000 tarzy 465327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boys can be such grumpy old men about fashion.</p> <p>I really, really love the copper color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-465323 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 00:57:53 +0000 Jjsloane 465323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the copper looks best on you. I don't see why you would tuck it - that much fabric tucked would annoy me. I understand your DH's reservations. It's not a look for everyone. It's not that it's unflattering, I just don't particularly like the hem (a little loincloth-like for me) and it's a personal preference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-465205 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 22:23:10 +0000 Anonymous 465205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A belated vote for the copper! Love the pose in #3. Looks like you're ready to take names and kick some fanny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464989 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 17:09:18 +0000 rute 464989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the copper!<br /> Love looks 1 and 8! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464982 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 16:59:38 +0000 Sona 464982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the copper in S on you. Hope you and hubby come to a happy medium!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464954 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 16:34:05 +0000 Amy 464954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>haha, I love MaryK's strategy, which is probably what I'd do in that situation; however, I do understand what a downer a partner's rejection of a certain look can be and if that makes you less happy with the sweater, then returning it may be the better plan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464951 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 16:30:28 +0000 Heather 464951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, does your DH wear every style that you prefer on him? (mine doesn't!) Keep and wear and rock it, Rae. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464946 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 16:26:34 +0000 MsMary 464946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE LOVE the copper! I got mine yesterday, too, and my hubby wan't all that thrilled with it either. I said "so noted," and went back to oohing and aahing over how much I loved it! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464941 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 16:18:26 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 464941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would never have thought to tuck that sweater in but what a great idea. It looks really funky out but demure when tucked. Should be a great addition to your work wardrobe that plays well too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464937 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 16:14:48 +0000 Jonesy 464937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the copper in the small. My first thought re. the hubster is that maybe he just needs to be gently reminded that *you'll* be wearing the sweater, not him :)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464816 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 14:20:30 +0000 Lisa 464816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Copper in the size S. Untucked with skinnies. Tucked with a skirt. This style is fantastic on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464748 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 07:13:50 +0000 Jenava 464748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, this is why the Man Repeller blog is so popular...</p> <p>I like the copper with the pencil skirt, untucked. And of course with the boots and skinnies it's great too! Good luck...(-: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464735 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 06:26:45 +0000 Freckles 464735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the copper on you Rae. The oatmeal is also pretty but the copper is just more wow .</p> <p>I really really love pic 8 with the skirt. That one is killer. It looks great under the suits too. </p> <p>Hope you don't have too much trouble with this tough decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464733 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 06:25:47 +0000 Vildy 464733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the copper and what I don't like about the oatmeal is the size - the front flap falls like a loincloth. Good for a warrior, I guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464731 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 06:23:03 +0000 Angie 464731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the copper, but I prefer the S to the XS. It looks GREAT!</p> <p>I get that hubs isn't into the look. Boys can get bees in their bonnets about styles that we think look great. My hubs is the same. I guess it really depends on you, Rae. Sleep on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464706 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 05:06:17 +0000 catgirl 464706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, the copper looks fab on you, Rae. And the sweater looks amazing! UWP sisters! I would do the copper over the grey for sure. I got you the grey in the small. I don't see a huge difference between small and XS on you. Let me know if you do want it; otherwise I'll return it tomorrow.</p> <p>I'm amazed your husband has such a strong opinion, but since he does, I'd continue to work on it. It is rare for my husband to tell me he dislikes something, and I'm not sure what I'd do if he did. This is so very much your style that it truly surprises me he would not love it on you.</p> <p>Let us know the verdict! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464704 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 04:59:17 +0000 rae 464704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kate, hubs and I are in negotiations for me to keep the copper one. When we dissected it, the overall look of sweater, skinnies, and boots was too much for him. We tried it on with some slim bootcuts, and he did not mind it as much. It is still not his favorite, though. </p> <p>The other thing is that I've really been looking for knit tops to wear under blazers. This one is a color I like, and it can transform into something funky, so I don't feel like I'm "wasting" money on boring work clothes.... </p> <p>A truce may be close. Bah, I didn't think this was going to be a hard decision! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464699 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 04:40:01 +0000 Kate 464699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, given this new info I would return. If you got it at the swap meet I would say keep, but given how quickly you go through clothes and your usual budget system, this doesn't seem worth holding on to, even if it's on a great sale. You can buy something just as versatile (or more) that hubby loves for the same money! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464661 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 03:45:00 +0000 rae 464661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, pretty big wrench in the machine is that Hubs really, really hates the look. Like, really really. And he's almost always around when I'm casually dressed. </p> <p>Ugh, what to do? Forget it, or keep *one* to wear secretly when I'm just out with the girls? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464652 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 03:35:57 +0000 kellygirl 464652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The copper FTW! I love that on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464617 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 03:06:57 +0000 HelenInCanada 464617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha - awesome pose! I like the copper colour too - and it's great that you can 'style it down' as a secret identity with a jacket &amp; skirt for work! Bravo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464614 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 03:03:46 +0000 Anonymous 464614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>echoing the others, I prefer the XS. Both colors look good to me but really drawn to the copper on you.</p> <p>Fun Sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464607 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 02:52:12 +0000 Suz 464607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG I LOVE this on you, Rae. </p> <p>Actually, I love this, period. I want one, too!!! </p> <p>I like the size xs, and I actually like both colours, but the copper is more unusual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464606 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 02:51:27 +0000 MNsara 464606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the copper on you! I might like the XS a bit better, but I like the width of the front panel in the S better. (I realize I'm nit-picking and making this difficult :-\ it's in my nature!)</p> <p>I'm super impressed that you have room to tuck so much sweater into a pencil skirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464603 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 02:48:13 +0000 Amy 464603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The copper color is the most flattering! I love this sweater, especially paired with the skinnies. I don't think it draws too much attention to the hip area. Looks good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464601 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 02:46:22 +0000 Aida 464601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too like the copper color for you (though I DO actually like the lightness of the oatmeal better, just not that particular shade). Look at your fun hair in #2/3! Hmmmm I am undecided on the size though. I think I like the looser fit as a more casual top but the smaller size is more figure-showing so I am leaning towards smaller. I don't see any hip overemphasis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unas-uwp-sweaters-bonus-warrior-pose#post-464600 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 02:45:47 +0000 ironkurtin 464600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto! </p>
