What strikes me first is your proportions. In each outfit, they are spot on. I also really admire the varying silhouettes and colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-few-based-on-ensembles-and-random#post-1403713 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 23:57:33 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1403713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you. &nbsp;Lisa, I don't think I went into old navy for a few years but stopped in one day after a friend found something there. &nbsp;I bought a bunch of merino wool sweaters at BR and Gap and find they are a pain to care for since they want to shrink even on cold. &nbsp;I think I prefer cotton blends and ON had them. &nbsp;I much preferred this ON sweater to the BR one I bought initially.</p> <p>Darla, I have long skinny feet but it is very cold here in winter so I either wear doubled up socks or really thick wool ones. &nbsp;It feels warmer and keeps my feet from moving in the looser fitting boots.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-few-based-on-ensembles-and-random#post-1403707 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 23:48:51 +0000 darla 1403707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All look great, I especially like the purple skirt and you really got me thinking that I need to get me some colored jeans ! The red is gorgeous. I tend to shy away from colored jeans... but I am thinking I will go for it--looks very very nice. I wish I could wear all those cool boots... my narrow foot unfortunately swims around in boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-few-based-on-ensembles-and-random#post-1403545 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 16:25:08 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1403545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all! &nbsp;A great set of outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-few-based-on-ensembles-and-random#post-1403544 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 16:24:45 +0000 Anonymous 1403544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all of these , Cheryle! &nbsp;I quite like the purple skirt outfit &nbsp;as a business look. It's one thing we don't see a lot of here on the forum are straight-up work and professional looks, and I wish we did. I'm also in awe of your ability to find things at Old Navy- I need that sweater! &nbsp;I haven't been in there in a couple of years now, but between the jeans you have and this sweater, I'm convinced I should try again. &nbsp;Love the red skinnies with the ivory sweater too....:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-few-based-on-ensembles-and-random#post-1403542 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 16:09:30 +0000 Anonymous 1403542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! I especially like #2, #4, and #5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-few-based-on-ensembles-and-random#post-1403540 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 15:54:00 +0000 lyn67 1403540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your outfits, Dianthus! Great style and great silouettes, all! My very fave is nr. 2, as am in a hunt for a similar long&nbsp;cardi, and I know so well, not all the long cardis are the same!:-)&nbsp;Yours here is perfect! Last&nbsp;outfit is closely comming after-simple but chic, in a great color way.&nbsp;But 1,3 and 4 are all remarcable, greatly put together and current ones, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-few-based-on-ensembles-and-random#post-1403523 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 14:49:47 +0000 jackiec 1403523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dianthus, what a great set of outfits! I noticed, too, what a workhorse that beautiful pendant is! It works with everything!! My favs are #3 (a look after my heart - love love love), and #5 with the red skinnies. You really did get 5 silhouettes and work them so well. Great boots all around </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-few-based-on-ensembles-and-random#post-1403521 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 14:43:44 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1403521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback. &nbsp;I hadn't realized that all of the outfits with a pendant were the same one. &nbsp;I do try others but always seem to default back to that one. &nbsp;Interesting. &nbsp;</p> <p>Carter, that is the ON sweater. &nbsp;After returning the BR sweater, I popped in at ON to look at something and tried this one on just for the heck of it. &nbsp;It is a size S so I figured it wouldn't give me the looseness or drape I wanted but ended up buying it. &nbsp;I think it was less than $45 and then came on sale on the website for even less. &nbsp;No stone and all that.</p> <p>I had considered ditching the red skinnies since I am moving away from this silhouette but I think they still have a place in the closet so will keep them for now. &nbsp;I appreciate the feedback on this one a lot.</p> <p>Suz, I was just teasing and am glad to know you survived the viewing unscathed. &nbsp;:)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-few-based-on-ensembles-and-random#post-1403448 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 02:51:46 +0000 Jaime 1403448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic outfits - some of my favorites of yours I think. I like how your long pendant is like a signature throughout. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-few-based-on-ensembles-and-random#post-1403428 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 01:43:41 +0000 Suz 1403428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful set of outfits! And far from having apoplexy, I am swooning over #3. Linen sweater worn as a top is just fine in winter to me. &nbsp; &nbsp; It is only you go outside without a coat and in sandals that I will get all freaked out. I even occasionally have been known to wear a linen sweater myself in winter...though always as an underlayer beneath a jacket....</p> <p>You are the queen of tall boots and look amazing in them.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love your five silhouettes -- you've definitely fulfilled the challenge!&nbsp;</p> <p>Really love the sweater in #2 and also the necklace. No wonder it is a favourite.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-few-based-on-ensembles-and-random#post-1403421 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 01:20:34 +0000 carter 1403421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great group of outfit! Love 2 and 3 best! Great cardi/knit jacket in #2...that's not the ON piece, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-few-based-on-ensembles-and-random#post-1403383 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 20:56:50 +0000 LearningCurve 1403383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like a really interesting outfit combo!

You look so simply elegant and chic in all of them. All of the silhouettes are equallly fab on you. I really like your jewelry--the bracelets, the long pendant and the shorter chunky chain necklace. I'm really drawn to the red skinnies outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-few-based-on-ensembles-and-random#post-1403284 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 03:22:06 +0000 ma 1403284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your cardi in 2...and those red skinnies! All very nice outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-few-based-on-ensembles-and-random#post-1403275 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 01:14:22 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1403275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth, it looks like it is. &nbsp;Just for reference, I bought a medium and think a small would have been better. &nbsp;I wear an 8 in most jackets for the shoulders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-few-based-on-ensembles-and-random#post-1403268 Fri, 28 Nov 2014 23:48:24 +0000 Elizabeth P 1403268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a great set of outfits, dianthus.&nbsp; They are all simple, well put togetherr, adn the proportions are bang on.&nbsp; There is smiliarity to them, but they are all different.&nbsp; </p> <p>I really really like the sweater/vest in #1.&nbsp; Any chance that's still available? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-few-based-on-ensembles-and-random#post-1403266 Fri, 28 Nov 2014 23:22:38 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1403266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi ladies. &nbsp;I haven't posted a WIW in a while but have taken pictures many days. &nbsp;Here are a few:<br />#1 was an attempt at Angie's patterned monochrome look. &nbsp;I tried this the day before with b&amp;w patterned slim pants and a black shirt but didn't like it so I switched to a plain sweater. &nbsp;The vest/sweater is loose fitting so I thought it might layer. &nbsp;<br />Sweater: &nbsp;tibi<br />pants: YNY<br />boots earthies<br />shirt: &nbsp;Charles Tyrwhitt</p> <p>#2 &nbsp;I bought a sweater from BR but it was shorter in the back as someone here mentioned and it didn't drape well so I returned it. &nbsp;I tried this one on at ON and bought it. &nbsp;It is very cosy and a tight knit so hangs better. &nbsp;I added dark wash jeans and my favorite booties.</p> <p>#3 &nbsp;JCrew pants and a linen sweater. &nbsp;Suz may have apoplexy about the linen in winter. &nbsp;LOL &nbsp;The pants look crotchety but they are actually very loose and saggy. &nbsp;I bought these taller engineer boots to go with the pants. &nbsp;They are comfy but a bit loose. &nbsp;Sam Edelman Circus boots.</p> <p>#4 &nbsp;The sweater I wore with my leather pants for the b-day outing and the purple halogen skirt. &nbsp;It was nasty cold so i wore tall boots. &nbsp;Also Sam Edelman and very comfortable.</p> <p>#5 &nbsp;My dark red skinny jeans. &nbsp;Also look snug but are actually quite loose which is strange. &nbsp;Maybe it is how i stand for pics. &nbsp;I added the BR faux leather front sweater and the chunky Miz Mooz boots to add weight to balance the hips.</p> <p>I think I also got five different silhouettes into it without trying.<br />Comments/suggestions or critiques welcome.</p>
