I think once you find a store whose proportions match your own that should be your first stop when you're looking to add to your wardrobe. Clearly the fit model used to develop patterns for Talbot's clothing must be a body double of mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/versatility-and-my-new-favorite-sweater#post-1445186 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 12:00:49 +0000 Anonymous 1445186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I commented yesterday, but I guess not. &nbsp;If I had commented earlier, I would have told you how incredible you look and how gorgeous that sweater is. &nbsp;Right after looking at your WIW, I went to the Talbots website to look for that sweater. &nbsp;It is that gorgeous on you. &nbsp;</p> <p>I want to second what Unfrumped said about proportions. &nbsp;Sometimes a piece just works of you and it might come down to perfect proportions for your body. &nbsp;That sweater is perfectly proportioned for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/versatility-and-my-new-favorite-sweater#post-1445103 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 03:05:01 +0000 catgirl 1445103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic!&nbsp; Reminds me of my Helmut Lang sweatshirt jacket - just enough edge.&nbsp; And I LOVE your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/versatility-and-my-new-favorite-sweater#post-1445101 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 03:00:52 +0000 CocoLion 1445101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my sweaters passionately. &nbsp;They are just so cozy and also have a refined feeling. &nbsp;So of course I love this outfit. &nbsp;The colors are surprising and fresh, that's what takes this to a higher level. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/versatility-and-my-new-favorite-sweater#post-1445095 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 02:44:05 +0000 Karie 1445095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your outfit better than the pin - that mixed media sweater is gorgeous. I have a poncho that I bought this year at F21 that's turning out to be a real workhorse in our super cold winter. It fits nicely under my winter coat (no bunching) and it keeps me snuggly warm. I wore it again today to go to the movies and it was like I was sitting in a recliner with a blanket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/versatility-and-my-new-favorite-sweater#post-1445023 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 22:37:30 +0000 unfrumped 1445023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cardigan has great drape and proportions-- nips in and out where it should. I have a jacket from WHBM that doesn't seem like it would be special but it seems to have " universal proportions" and I can toss it on over many outfits and it works. I think that Is key-- an item that reliably has good proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/versatility-and-my-new-favorite-sweater#post-1444995 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 20:58:01 +0000 Anonymous 1444995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great sweater/cardigan. Love it. I'm actually making a long version of something similar and I hope it will be as versatile. I love how you styled yours and what a fab colour your jeans are! Also I've just got to say you look so lovely and fresh, your hair is fab... what are you on lady?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/versatility-and-my-new-favorite-sweater#post-1444992 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 20:50:55 +0000 Day Vies 1444992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Beth Ann </b>- As a result of my thread last week I have <i>resolved</i> my issues with Pinterest. No more "picked for you" tacky questionable pins. It's now my little slice of heavenly inspiration once again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/versatility-and-my-new-favorite-sweater#post-1444987 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 20:40:11 +0000 Beth Ann 1444987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I purchased three (woops, make that four) similar sweaters this year, and they've been workhorses.&nbsp; I would have liked to purchase a new blazer or two, but I wasn't finding any that I loved, and the sweaters are dressy enough for my uni and home teaching. I love them with a pencil skirt, or skinnies -- much like you're wearing them here.</p> <p>The second and third photos below are from Macy's (INC).&nbsp; These sweaters have the most gorgeous fabrication --- thick enough to be substantial and drapey, but really refined and smooth at the same time.</p> <p>Love your colored pants --- the shade is fresh and appealing in winter.&nbsp; And you make wonderful use of Pinterest, for all of your frustrations with the platform! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/versatility-and-my-new-favorite-sweater#post-1444977 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 20:24:40 +0000 Nebraskim 1444977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your new hair look. And the sweater is great. Don't you love it when a piece serves so many functions? I try for that in my own wardrobe. My most versatile piece by far is a white denim jacket from Gap that I wear with all sorts of pieces, from very casual to office business casual to throw over a nice summer dress for a wedding, etc. I got a French blue knee-length wool cardigan this winter that has been worn so much in the month since I got it. It's warm and functional and seriously a good buy. I try to think of three to five ways to use any piece and this certainly stretches my wardrobe and makes me feel creative when I mix something up in an unexpected way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/versatility-and-my-new-favorite-sweater#post-1444933 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 19:00:02 +0000 Nannabella 1444933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I love this. There's something about the green and the stripes that hints at spring for me, and the black cardi adds a gorgeous contrast and flowiness. And straightened hair is always so fun to play around with! You look beautiful, top to toe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/versatility-and-my-new-favorite-sweater#post-1444760 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 04:39:32 +0000 deb 1444760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great sweater and I can see why you were drawn to it. Wonderful outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/versatility-and-my-new-favorite-sweater#post-1444758 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 04:35:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1444758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My harem pants fall into the versatile category, both because I can wear them different ways (with the legs long, or pulled up to the knees to create a skirt look) and because I like to wear them, so I create a lot of different types of outfits with them. Another versatile piece, just because it can be worn different ways, is my AllSaints Elgar cowl sweater; it can be worn upside down and backwards, and buttoned or unbuttoned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/versatility-and-my-new-favorite-sweater#post-1444749 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 03:31:37 +0000 Day Vies 1444749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Firecracker</b> - The hair, yep I decided to straighten it out this week. By far it's been my favorite accessory this week. My happiness with my hair this week is the subject for an entirely separate post. </p> <p><b>Vildy</b> - It's good to be back. I thought the same thing when I picked up this sweater It's so versatile BUT am I going to wear it the same way again and again simply because I like it that way? I think the forum is going to keep me honest. </p> <p><b>Msmaven</b> - my pants have more yellow in them so my olive pops more than the muddy gray-toned olive in the pin.</p> <p><b>abc</b> - you articulated the very concept that's been on the tip of my tongue since Sunday. I want stylish pieces that can go from the office to the weekend to the wash AND can stand up to DD's drool. </p> <p><b>dashielle</b> - I marked that post as a favorite. I just loved how your version of edge works at the office and on the weekend. That's what I want for this sweater. I'll probably have to go back to that post often to remind my self to move on when I get too comfortable wearing it any one way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/versatility-and-my-new-favorite-sweater#post-1444737 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 03:04:19 +0000 Jaime 1444737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Masterful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/versatility-and-my-new-favorite-sweater#post-1444714 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 01:40:29 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1444714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DV, can I just say how amazing you're looking and it's nice to have you back into the fray! A thousand times yes to your new sweater AND to having these key fundamental pieces we love that work with everything. For me (right now) I'm loving my drapey black wool Icebreaker waterfall cardigan that I showed two outfits with last week. <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-weeks-worth-of-outfits" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....of-outfits</a> Makes me feel very Deborah as well it was key to my packing for a business trip to Frankfurt last year, for plane and bumming around, and luckily I bought another in navy with a white stripe when I got this last Summer, so I can transition to Spring. We even have cool evenings in the Summer here in the Northwest, so there I am...sorted, as Angie would say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/versatility-and-my-new-favorite-sweater#post-1444711 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 01:32:13 +0000 abc 1444711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this from head to toe. Very nice piece. Looks like a winner addition to the wardrobe. I find washable items like this really important with kids. It gives the structure I liked in blazers but is more life friendly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/versatility-and-my-new-favorite-sweater#post-1444699 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 00:19:43 +0000 MsMaven 1444699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit--very flattering.

Wonderful to see you back with your stylish outfits.<br />I think I sometimes acquire pieces and think their versatility is a big plus and then end up wearing them in one favorite way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/versatility-and-my-new-favorite-sweater#post-1444689 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 23:46:39 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1444689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had to pop in quickly to say, Love the outfit! And your hair! will have to contemplate the versatile-item question. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/versatility-and-my-new-favorite-sweater#post-1444676 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 23:23:24 +0000 Day Vies 1444676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today's outfit was inspired <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/294211788127092576/" rel="nofollow">by this pin</a>. I have used this pin to spawn many similar outfits but this is the closets I've come to a copy cat. </p> <p>I thought of this combination because I wanted to feature my new sweater -- a Talbot's piece I picked up on Sunday. The sweater is mixed media and features woven material paired with a thick jersey material (sweatshirt). It's open front and has a wonderful cut and drape (...reminds me of something Deborah might wear). I love it because it is both structured and fluid, casual and polished, cozy yet stylish. When I saw it I knew it had to come home with me because of its built-in versatility. </p> <p>Do any of you have a piece you feel is as versatile? If so what is it? Also can something be versatile because you like wearing it and as a result you work it into as many outfits as you can get away with? </p>
