I wish I could pull that off, but it never seems to work on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotting-at-the-waist-and-some-pattern-mixing#post-672774 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 11:48:35 +0000 Astrid 672774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ornella! The link is great, I could really see a similar 'tweed' for the skirt, it should have some texture in any case! It should be suitable for fall/winter/spring I guess. I wear the black one all the time, short of very warm weather.</p> <p>Thanks Jonesy! </p> <p>Thanks Aida! Navy and grey tweed sounds like a good solution.</p> <p>Thanks JR! I'm not a yellow fan at all, but I can see how this would be great for weather like this. We had three times more rain than the usual in this month.</p> <p>Thanks Manidipa. I like that idea too. I'm not THAT good at sewing, but I know a bit. Enough to sew a skirt and shorten some pants anyway. </p> <p>Thanks Zapotee and Deborah!</p> <p>Thanks Scarlet! I think it's always interesting to see how the same things come across on different people. </p> <p>Thanks Krishnidoux! I really like the new watch band. </p> <p>Thanks Louise! I'm glad I could inspire you to try some knotting of your own... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotting-at-the-waist-and-some-pattern-mixing#post-672757 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 09:32:47 +0000 Louise 672757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this. I'm inspired to try knotting my denim shirt x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotting-at-the-waist-and-some-pattern-mixing#post-672752 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 09:21:27 +0000 krishnidoux 672752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful. I had to post. Love the pattern mixing! It's subtle yet effective. And the knotting is very flattering on you. The necklace is perfect. I like your watch with a red wrist band! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotting-at-the-waist-and-some-pattern-mixing#post-672723 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 06:07:45 +0000 Scarlet 672723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great on you! The tied waist works really well. Funny, that style of skirt looks terrible on me, but it really works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotting-at-the-waist-and-some-pattern-mixing#post-672682 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 04:02:50 +0000 Deborah 672682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great look on you Astrid. And clever pattern mixing between the cami and the shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotting-at-the-waist-and-some-pattern-mixing#post-672667 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 03:37:08 +0000 Anonymous 672667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So adorable. Full skirts look off the charts awesome on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotting-at-the-waist-and-some-pattern-mixing#post-672665 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 03:35:34 +0000 ManidipaM 672665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I didn't know you sew, Astrid! That makes things a whole deal easier! You even get to choose your grey --- I like the idea of a light heathery tweed pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotting-at-the-waist-and-some-pattern-mixing#post-672544 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 01:12:17 +0000 JR 672544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too cute! Although what's with the weather? We are sweltering (okay, today was the first day in ages that was bearable) and you guys are freezing your tushes off! Maybe you should make that skirt in bright yellow or something to provide a little sunshine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotting-at-the-waist-and-some-pattern-mixing#post-672522 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 00:55:03 +0000 Aida 672522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute outfit Astrid! I love that your plaid shirt has ruffles on it. I can see why you want to duplicate the skirt, it looks super on you. My vote would be in navy and then also a gray tweed </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotting-at-the-waist-and-some-pattern-mixing#post-672362 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 22:39:56 +0000 Jonesy 672362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks wonderful! I love the pattern mix, and you were made for the waist knot :)! I knotted today too, so high five! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotting-at-the-waist-and-some-pattern-mixing#post-672279 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 21:16:26 +0000 Ornella 672279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun. I love the pattern mixing at the top and the hose (but, goodness me, wearing hose in July - we've had erratic weather too, swinging from November-like to roasting in the sun).</p> <p>I like the idea of duplicate skirt, this style is great on you. What season should that second skirt 'cover'? Perhaps you could look into something tweedy? That would be grey, but subtly patterned. Nadya had <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wide-legged-linen-plus-bonus-roses">great outfit a few days ago</a>, with linen pants that were not plain grey but had some textural interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotting-at-the-waist-and-some-pattern-mixing#post-672257 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 20:47:24 +0000 Astrid 672257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Laura!</p> <p>Thanks Manidipa! Yes, I think grey would work well. I haven't seen something similar in the stores, but I have a sewing pattern that resembles it. I didn't have much time recently, but I might get around to sewing in the next few weeks. I should be able to find some solid fabric similar in weight to the black skirt.</p> <p>Thanks Claire! The skirt isn't available anymore, I got it one and a half years ago. But I think I could try making something similar myself.</p> <p>Thanks Kiwichik! I only started knotting after Angie's blog post. I'm not sure why I had never tried it before, I really like it.</p> <p>Thanks Shannon and Meredith! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotting-at-the-waist-and-some-pattern-mixing#post-672107 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 18:43:26 +0000 Meredith1953 672107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute pattern mixing with the top, cami and tights. A gray skirt would be very nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotting-at-the-waist-and-some-pattern-mixing#post-672105 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 18:42:52 +0000 Transcona Shannon 672105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great knotting Astrid! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotting-at-the-waist-and-some-pattern-mixing#post-672102 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 18:41:52 +0000 Kiwichik 672102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that's the wy to knot a blouse. I vote for a grey skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotting-at-the-waist-and-some-pattern-mixing#post-672072 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 18:19:39 +0000 Anonymous 672072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so very Astrid! I love the pattern mixed tops and the dotted tights: spunky and fun! That skirt would be a no-brainer in navy, if it's available. You look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotting-at-the-waist-and-some-pattern-mixing#post-672028 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 17:21:15 +0000 ManidipaM 672028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I love this! That little peek of patterned tank from under the plaid and the polka-dot tights are perfect.</p> <p>This skirt is such a workhorse, I suspect you could duplicate it twice over and not be overburdened! But if it's only one, I think grey would be lovely with your other things, like the red ikat top as well as this plaid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotting-at-the-waist-and-some-pattern-mixing#post-671982 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 16:18:33 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 671982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute! You look spunky and I like the pattern mixing happening on top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---knotting-at-the-waist-and-some-pattern-mixing#post-671950 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 15:38:13 +0000 Astrid 671950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's what I'm wearing today. The weather is miserable again and it has been raining all day long, so it's another 'fall' outfit!</p> <p>I really need to duplicate this skirt in another neutral, maybe grey or dark navy. I'm wearing it all the time. </p>
