I like to button just the middle two (sometimes three) buttons, and leave a little of my layering t or blouse to show. This creates a vertical line down the front of my body. You might give that a whirl! Also, what about scrunching the sleeves? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fall-is-here#post-760494 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:39:56 +0000 missvee 760494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice colours for you. I would play around with the cardi as others have suggested, maybe unbuttoned with a longer tee or shirt underneath. I'm another one who struggles with cardis - sometimes I just do up a couple of buttons near the bustline, more to keep it in place than anything else </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fall-is-here#post-760478 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:30:48 +0000 catgirl 760478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I struggle with cardigan frump too, which is why I stopped wearing them. This is a fantastic color on you, whatever you decide about the cardi! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fall-is-here#post-760455 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:08:12 +0000 Carole 760455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these colors on you, burgundy is so flattering! I think the sweater looks fine as is, but unbuttoned is another option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fall-is-here#post-760410 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 19:23:28 +0000 CocoLion 760410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweater looks fine to me, and it doesn't hit at your widest point. If you wear it open that will work too, but will look more casual. I like your choice of colors here: caramel and burgundy. Very autumnal yet not entirely predictable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fall-is-here#post-760394 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 19:10:01 +0000 rachylou 760394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mm, the cardi doesn't hit your widest point. I think it falls in a good place, provides good visual balance. Esp. with the V and the cream shirt underneath - I feel attention is focused where it should be, your face.</p> <p>A longer cardi would truncate you, IMO, and probably obscure your waist. A shorter one, I think, would make it look like your hips are preventing the top from going lower.</p> <p>No this is good. And great colors - the darker "tan" with the burgundy is a winner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fall-is-here#post-760318 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 18:06:58 +0000 JulieJohn 760318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the burgundy! I agree with GoldenPig, she is right on target. Angie has some great tips for Pretty Pears, and I am beginning to benefit from them myself as an hourglass/pear.</p> <p>Good luck with your photography, and thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fall-is-here#post-760312 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 18:03:03 +0000 biscuitsmom 760312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sweater color on you! Have you tried leaving the last few buttons undone? It would really highlight your waist, by creating a V shape on the sweater...I hope you keep posting WIWs, I really like seeing them We are getting definite Fall weather here too- highs only in the low to mid-forties-ugh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fall-is-here#post-760304 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 17:58:14 +0000 Thistle 760304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see your point. It might look better with my full black skirt instead of pants. Also, open might work better too.</p> <p>I am wearing a triangular shaped pendant, you just can't see it behind my hand. I really need to figure out a better way to take pictures! it is one of the main reasons I don't post WIWs so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fall-is-here#post-760264 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 17:33:26 +0000 goldenpig 760264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Thistle! I really love the burgundy color on you and the color is right on trend for this fall! I have the same problem with cardigans--when I button them up they tend to look a little frumpy on me. Have you tried leaving it open instead? Maybe with a long pendant to create more of a vertical line as well? Maybe you could also try that cardigan with skirts or dresses...I find that when I wear pants I tend to want to wear longer cardigans to cover my butt, but tend to wear shorter/cropped cardigans when I wear skirts/dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fall-is-here#post-760251 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 17:20:34 +0000 Thistle 760251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To start with, I took the pictures in our home gym hoping the lighting would be better without having to fight too much natural light. Not sure that worked out so well.</p> <p>Now that I see a picture of the outfit, I am a bit concerned that the sweater falls at the exact widest point across my hips, not really doing me any favors. It also might be a wee bit frumpy . . . I really like the color and texture, but not sure on this one. Perhaps I need to wear it open. </p>
