I wasn't that tempted by them when Angie brought them up recently, but I find this one really pretty on you. I also like the layered sleeves; I'm partial to it and wear my 3/4 sleeves that way quite often. Your sleek jeans and boots are just perfect with the layered tops, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---my-faire-isle#post-1445117 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 03:48:57 +0000 catgirl 1445117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this style - I did grow up in Boston in the early 80s when these were all the rage. But I always feel a little inauthentic in them somehow.&nbsp; You look amazing and that's a great version of a FI sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---my-faire-isle#post-1445013 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 21:53:41 +0000 Style Fan 1445013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blue sleeves.&nbsp; The sweater is very cute.&nbsp; You look very cozy.&nbsp; Great colours on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---my-faire-isle#post-1444921 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 18:17:39 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1444921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this version of a Fair Isle and the boost of color in your sleeves is wonderful!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---my-faire-isle#post-1444901 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 17:14:13 +0000 old chic 1444901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks terrific. Normally, I don't like 3/4 sleeves or fair isles, but that touch of bright blue and your striking coloring really make the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---my-faire-isle#post-1444845 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 14:44:25 +0000 Lisa 1444845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the weather has been rather chilly lately. &nbsp;I am all about the layering right now. &nbsp;The bright blue is very fun peeking out in this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---my-faire-isle#post-1444831 Fri, 20 Feb 2015 14:19:20 +0000 trekkiegirl 1444831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is really cute,I like it a lot </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---my-faire-isle#post-1444589 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 19:44:02 +0000 Zibbets 1444589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous!

It looks fab! I like the blue sleeves peeping out too. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---my-faire-isle#post-1444528 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 18:23:48 +0000 Ruth M 1444528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you look lovely in your Fair Isle. Great outfit, and I&nbsp;love those perfectly-fitting boots. The blue sleeves sticking out don't bother me either, and they will help to keep your hands warm in those freezing temps </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---my-faire-isle#post-1444515 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 18:10:41 +0000 sarah 1444515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely.

(and i'm sick of wearing tights under my pants, but really its the only way to stay warm). anyway, love this fair isle, and the touch of color is unexpected and quite nice. stay warm. its supposed to be a heat wave here on Sat---37F! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---my-faire-isle#post-1444478 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 16:33:01 +0000 MTBGirl 1444478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it very much.

Although I'm learning that 3/4 sleeves always bug me because they scrunch up inside my coat sleeves and annoy me. </p> <p>I like the blue sleeves actually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---my-faire-isle#post-1444457 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 15:47:26 +0000 Anonymous 1444457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit looks warm but not bulky, how refreshing! You look great and I like your make-up colors too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---my-faire-isle#post-1444448 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 15:20:35 +0000 texstyle 1444448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this look citygirl - lovely and sophisticated rendition of a Fair Isle sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---my-faire-isle#post-1444446 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 15:16:42 +0000 citygirldc 1444446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's frigid out today and I'm not used to dressing this way. Layers are key so I ended up wearing a long sleeve&nbsp;wicking top underneath a 3/4 sleeve Faire Isle Anthropologie tunic sweater, plus my INC. skinnies, and heeled boots (to elongate me).&nbsp; Even though the blue sleeves stick out of my sweater,&nbsp;for some reason it doesn't bother me.</p>
