Try a low contrast version too - since you might like that better. And you rock your bootcuts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---christmas-cashmere-and-bootcuts#post-1987910 Wed, 02 Jan 2019 15:59:07 +0000 Christina F. 1987910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both outfits, and the belted cardigan!

As much as I hate being cold, I do love a good snowy landscape photo Love you in boot cuts. You wear them so well. I actually love the belted long cardigan. I like the contrast and think the skinny belt looks really good here. You look so long and lean in everything. Your hair is looking terrific as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---christmas-cashmere-and-bootcuts#post-1987443 Tue, 01 Jan 2019 14:36:53 +0000 kkards 1987443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>nice to see the snow...we got a little snow in November, but its been nothing but rain in December...it's getting a little depressing...<br />i love the combo of&nbsp;burgundys...and the long cardi over the bootcuts is fab...i prefer the unbelted verision, but all 3 verisions work </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---christmas-cashmere-and-bootcuts#post-1987402 Tue, 01 Jan 2019 10:35:36 +0000 Brooklyn 1987402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Karen. Happy new year! You look sooo fabulous in bootcuts. I like the belt but I’d like to see a low contrast version.</p> <p>ETA: Snow! It’s 35 C here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---christmas-cashmere-and-bootcuts#post-1987401 Tue, 01 Jan 2019 10:20:19 +0000 rachylou 1987401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good stuff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---christmas-cashmere-and-bootcuts#post-1987400 Tue, 01 Jan 2019 10:08:50 +0000 Vildy 1987400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You may not prefer #3 belting but I picked up a tip to try for myself. I never thought about the width of belt and width of purse strap echoing each other and I quite like it as a sometime thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---christmas-cashmere-and-bootcuts#post-1987395 Tue, 01 Jan 2019 09:29:42 +0000 Cee 1987395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---christmas-cashmere-and-bootcuts#post-1987392 Tue, 01 Jan 2019 09:13:16 +0000 Jane 1987392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning scenery! The colours are deep and rich and look very good with your hair. The belt works very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---christmas-cashmere-and-bootcuts#post-1987389 Tue, 01 Jan 2019 09:02:59 +0000 Bijou 1987389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bootcut jeans are lovely on you, I also like the belted cardigan look, especially the chain belt. I prefer to wear chain belts with knits as they are less likely to cause pilling, this applies to cross body bags too.</p> <p>The burgundy and dark cherry colours are very pretty with your colouring. I am envious of your beautiful scenery, but would probably freeze in your weather, which would have me wearing multiple coats all at the same time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---christmas-cashmere-and-bootcuts#post-1987383 Tue, 01 Jan 2019 08:15:32 +0000 Jessikams 1987383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair looks so good, I would never guess it’s in the process of growing out. It looks beautiful sleek and straight, but it looks like you can also get some volume and wave going- I like to play with that to break up the monotony of short hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---christmas-cashmere-and-bootcuts#post-1987376 Tue, 01 Jan 2019 06:49:52 +0000 jussie 1987376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those belted cardi pics look excellent on you!! Nailed it. What incredible scenery where you live. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---christmas-cashmere-and-bootcuts#post-1987374 Tue, 01 Jan 2019 06:26:45 +0000 Suz 1987374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, you look amazing in that second outfit!! And the snowy landscape is exquisite. So beautiful!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---christmas-cashmere-and-bootcuts#post-1987346 Tue, 01 Jan 2019 03:02:19 +0000 Jaime 1987346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bootcuts look splendid on you! Great experimentation with long cardigan and belts too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---christmas-cashmere-and-bootcuts#post-1987292 Tue, 01 Jan 2019 00:23:32 +0000 karen13 1987292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>JAileen</b> and <b>suntiger</b> - I did feel quite tall in this - but I must give credit to the 2.25" boots. I don't normally wear much of a heel but they do make the wider leg pants flow so well. And they are Born so pretty comfy, considering. </p> <p>Thank you <b>lisa</b> - the hair was easier to style than I thought, and the trick to keeping me from cutting it off as it grows is to keep it off my face.</p> <p><b>Mainelady</b> - you are right about the visual length - I think the horizontal and contrast are what I don't like about #3.</p> <p>It was lovely but freezing today - low around 13F this morning and high only 21 F! Wind gusts at the downhill resorts over 100 mph. I wore lobster gloves for my skate ski, which I never do, and still had frozen hands and feet. But it is the only thing keeping the snow around - we haven't gotten much and nothing in the forecast. So you local skiers need to get up here this week.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---christmas-cashmere-and-bootcuts#post-1987279 Mon, 31 Dec 2018 23:42:05 +0000 Anonymous 1987279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the multiple burgundies work well, and think Kellygirl is going to start a trend Seconding JAileen too, re: long and lean! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---christmas-cashmere-and-bootcuts#post-1987274 Mon, 31 Dec 2018 23:28:18 +0000 Mainelady 1987274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful cashmere and bootcuts! I like how you are open to trying new options and I say they are working well for you! I like the cardigan belted. FWIW I like the belt in #4 better, the drop chain is a nice detail and adds visual length. I think a darker belt would be good, too. Ahhh, yes, you do live in a beautiful area! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---christmas-cashmere-and-bootcuts#post-1987264 Mon, 31 Dec 2018 22:42:24 +0000 Anonymous 1987264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty outfits and pretty scenery! &nbsp;I like your hair this new way too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---christmas-cashmere-and-bootcuts#post-1987260 Mon, 31 Dec 2018 22:34:07 +0000 JAileen 1987260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know you’re petite, but you look long and lean in 2-4. Wow! I like the scarf and sweater in 1, and how great that you can use your skills to make the pants the right length.</p> <p>Gorgeous scenery! How cold is it today? Very chilly here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---christmas-cashmere-and-bootcuts#post-1987256 Mon, 31 Dec 2018 22:12:13 +0000 karen13 1987256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been so happy to see bootcuts and wider legs available at retail. I'm resisting the urge to stock up as my fitness took a nosedive last year with some injuries and a hectic travel schedule. Thankfully, Nordic ski season has been good thus far and I'm finally getting back into fitting some old favorites, along with my new cashmere haul from Christmas.</p> <p>1) Out running errands - new "black cherry" cashmere with my resuscitated denim trousers that weren't PPL until I put in a facing to get an extra 1.5" of hem. Now they are perfect and Angie-approved. I finally wore a scarf I picked up last spring. Pre-YLF I would never have worn such disparate tones of burgundy (raspberry stripe in scarf, bluish-red sweater, burgundy boots) but now I think it works. I may chop the fringe off the scarf per old YLF posts, because that may be why I have not worn this scarf.</p> <p>2) Casual family dining out - My first every long cardi - navy cashmere with fun sleeve ties that aren't too much. And grey Prana jeans. Also my first wear of the William Morris print t-shirt (love the print, but it is not a petite, so the fit is a bit off and I may need to perform surgery to take up the shoulder). And trying a new to me style on the 'do I'm awkwardly growing out. Ideas?</p> <p>3/4) Channeling <b>kellygirl</b> - I tried a couple of belts with my cardigan because I liked the look so much on her recent long sweater WIW. I don't have much of a belt collection - what would look better? Maybe a gunmetal or dark grey for lower contrast? As a shortwaisted and short person, I struggle with this but am trying to be open minded.</p> <p>5/6) Sadly, melting fast but still stunning. I get to live in a beautiful world. Happy New Year everyone. Thanks for being such a great community. I welcome feedback. </p>
