Speaking of flare - love the flare on your trousers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotted-cardi#post-658650 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 09:36:06 +0000 harmonica 658650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I the grey's together and the red/black/grey too! The knotted cardi has interesting texture and accentuates your waist lovely. You look so well out together and ready for action in the red outfit. Nice haircut too that frames your lovely face. And yes, I see the Louise Brooks comparison </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotted-cardi#post-658642 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 08:02:14 +0000 Kiwichik 658642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CocoLion like that suggestion re the midi skirt and am very flattered by the Louise Brooks comparison must check out 20s &amp; 30s style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotted-cardi#post-658627 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 07:03:41 +0000 CocoLion 658627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kiwichick - have you tried the knotted cardi with a flowy midi skirt? That might look great. (Or try it with any skirt.)</p> <p>Love your WIWs and your Louse Brooks good looks. (Just curious if anyone else sees that similarity? I would love to see you in retro attire.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotted-cardi#post-658619 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 06:24:54 +0000 Kiwichik 658619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Mandipa your writing is so lovely to read and I appreciate your comments.</p> <p>The caridigan is designed to only be worn tied which is why it falls so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotted-cardi#post-658614 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 06:09:33 +0000 ManidipaM 658614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all your jewellery, particularly those necklaces --- so pretty!</p> <p>And the cardi falls so beautifully. I really like that outfit. Lots of visual interest with the way the 'tails' of the knot curve (how do you get them to do that?) and drape, the pattern of the top underneath, the shimmering necklace, the shiny patent bag and the swish of the pants... GREAT outfit.</p> <p>And speaking of visual interest, I love how the sheen of the beads is carried through into the top and pants (and also the shoes?) in that last outfit... delightful! Hope you had fun wearing it, because you're just sparkling in that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotted-cardi#post-658607 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 05:56:01 +0000 Kiwichik 658607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann - thanks for the reassurance I'm not particularly fashion forward so I always feel there is a danger of hanging on to things to long i.e. that cardi</p> <p>Jayne - ohhh slim &amp; lovely that will keep me smiling for the rest of the week (maybe the whole of July). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotted-cardi#post-658602 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 05:47:31 +0000 jayne 658602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfits. I know what you mean about ylf pulling all things out of our closets. The reds&amp; silver really suit your coloring..I think you did very well. Looking slim &amp; lovely in those slacks also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotted-cardi#post-658601 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 05:47:28 +0000 Beth Ann 658601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do such a great job of creating boho flair without going "over the top." Beautiful balance of detail, punch, and simplicity!</p> <p>I think all the outfits are lovely. I view the tied sweater as a item that may not be "on trend" but is still "in style." I love these sweaters, particularly the kind that are more of a dancer's sweater and can be wrapped multiple ways. Very versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotted-cardi#post-658583 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 05:25:25 +0000 Kiwichik 658583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Deborah you will see this scarf features quite often in my posts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotted-cardi#post-658569 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 04:53:01 +0000 Deborah 658569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look just lovely. I think the knotted top looks very nice and is flattering on your figure. The red and black is a. It of a signature look and it's just gorgeous on you. Love seeing that Jacqui E scarf. I really like the way you have tied it this time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotted-cardi#post-658557 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 04:25:11 +0000 Kiwichik 658557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried the knot lower but I thought it looked weird with the top I had on so I created more of a bolero look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotted-cardi#post-658555 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 04:22:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 658555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all the soft greys in your first outfit Kiwi - and that necklace is gorgeous! I think the knotted cardi works quite well here although I'm wondering if the knot is a little high up? </p> <p>And of course, you know I love you in black and red! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotted-cardi#post-658540 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 03:56:29 +0000 Kiwichik 658540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks MW the cardi has been hiding in the bottom of my wardrobe for a very long time but SYC sure encourages using all your clothing items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotted-cardi#post-658532 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 03:50:38 +0000 Midwest Girl 658532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic in both outfits. I love the silver cardigan and don't think it looks dated. You look fantastic in red--a very flattering color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotted-cardi#post-658509 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 03:19:06 +0000 Kiwichik 658509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HI ladies I haven't been posting much lately mainly because I've spent all of June SYC and have been repeating some of my favourite outfits. Here are a couple of things that I wore this week.</p> <p>Photo 1-3 Mon 25 June - charcoal wide leg pants (Max), cream &amp; grey patterned blouse (Stax), silver cardi (Max), black shoes (Novo) &amp; bag (Novo).</p> <p>Photo 4-5 Wed 27 June - grey flecked trousers (Stax), red empire line top (David Lawrence), black cardi (Jacqui-E), black jacket (EDC), red scarf (Jacqu-E, red suede shoes(Clarks).</p> <p>The cardi is designed to be knotted but it is several years old and I wondering if it looks a bit "wrong" even though I like it. </p>
