This happens to me, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really love the second outfit. Red booties are killer on you. I think the details of the skirt and textural play would have been very striking in real life.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---gap-merino-sweater-arrived-yesterday#post-1357423 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 14:08:18 +0000 Angie 1357423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are gorgeously Super Hero in #2. Loving those red booties.&nbsp;</p> <p>I echo Shevia, but adore #1 too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---gap-merino-sweater-arrived-yesterday#post-1357193 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 03:11:24 +0000 Anonymous 1357193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the blue and black of the first outfit and can't believe it is cold enough for a merino sweater. I have rejected lots and lots of otherwise wonderful booties because of rubbing on ankles. Ouch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---gap-merino-sweater-arrived-yesterday#post-1357142 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 02:20:41 +0000 Jaime 1357142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! My only issue with the sweater was the sheerness and I would suggest a darker under layer but it was probably the flash. Great color and fit. I love the jacket in #2! I&nbsp;am all about booties with bare legs and haven't had chaffing but probably wear them looser than most. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---gap-merino-sweater-arrived-yesterday#post-1356742 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 18:31:01 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1356742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta posted about the gap merino sweaters last week and I ended up ordering two of them. &nbsp;They arrive yesterday (slow for gap) and I tried on the crew neck one. &nbsp;I really like the color and feel of the sweater. &nbsp;I guarantee it is the flash that gave it a slightly transparent look (as in the post about photo issues). &nbsp;Gap suggested to size up on the sweater for the crew but not the t-neck. &nbsp;For reference, my bust is about 36" or a bit smaller,&nbsp;my underbust measure is 27", and I wear a 30 bra. &nbsp;I am normally a S to M so I ordered a Large to get a more fluid fit. &nbsp;</p> <p>The fit is not as loose as I had expected but I still like it and feel it has a place in my wardrobe so I wore it today. &nbsp;I paired it with my VC ruched tube skirt, laMer watch and the black patent ankle boots. &nbsp;I think it worked. &nbsp;I like the weight and feel of the fabric so am thinking to order another but in XL this time. &nbsp;I won't let the size bother me but suspect the larger sizes will sell out fairly quickly and those of you who are smaller, may get a great deal in a month or so.</p> <p>I have been wearing booties with bare legs the last week because it is too chilly for open shoes but too warm for tights and am finding that the boots rub on my ankle. &nbsp;They are far from snug - in fact I have to be vigilant to make sure that I don't have too much of the flower pot effect happening. &nbsp;Does anyone else have this happen? &nbsp;</p> <p>I am also posting yesterdays outfit even though it wasn't great. &nbsp;I actually thought it looked much better and did get a compliment or two on it. &nbsp;The skirt is Louben and part of a suit and the shirt has silver corners on the collar and silver flat buttons on the cuffs that don't show. &nbsp;I didn't take close ups. &nbsp;</p> <p>Suggestions and advice are always welcome - including the not so positive. &nbsp;:) </p>
