I'm glad it worked and I didn't look strange all day. </p> <p>My cardigans are all the same basic style, fitted cotton v-neck cardigans. I have three longer ones to go with pants (grey, navy and green) and a short bright blue cropped style I've only worn in summer. I also have a grey waterfall merino cardigan that got demoted to loungewear. </p> <p>I can't replace them all at once, but I do want more interesting ones in a nicer fabric in the long run (I think I need one that is chunky). I'm also not sure the v-neck is the best look on me buttoned up, I think it makes my shoulders look narrower. You can't wear them backwards either. I do sometimes button them only in the middle btw, but belting over a cardigan isn't a look I enjoy very much.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-striped-layering-shirt#post-1095094 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 00:22:16 +0000 Marmee 1095094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this a lot. &nbsp;If you want something different, you could try buttoning two buttons in the middle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-striped-layering-shirt#post-1095080 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 00:14:55 +0000 Caro in Oz 1095080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this Astrid - not boring imo.<br />Could you try buttoning the cardis&nbsp;or buttoning but leaving the top &amp; bottom buttons open showing a layer underneath&nbsp;you could&nbsp;then belt them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-striped-layering-shirt#post-1094953 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 22:23:40 +0000 kellygirl 1094953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SUper cute and stylish! I love the sleeves hiked up like that. Fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-striped-layering-shirt#post-1094951 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 22:20:20 +0000 peacechick 1094951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great the way you styled it! Like E I am a cardi fiend and agree with her suggestions to play around. Have you tried belting over the cardi and top? It creates a high waistline. Also try a long scarf casually knotted like a tie :)</p> <p>Another question: are your cardis all the same size, style and lengths? If so, you might want to purge a few and introduce more variety. I have them from S to XL and at differing lengths. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-striped-layering-shirt#post-1094900 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 21:06:26 +0000 E 1094900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you rolled the cardi sleeves up! And what a flattering new shirt on you, no wonder you duplicated. You're making me want to get out my striped shirts!</p> <p>I'm a cardi lover through and through, but I'm happy wearing them in all configurations so not sure I can offer much advice. Have you tried buttoning them in different places to see if you can create different shapes? Or if the buttons go up high enough you could try wearing it buttoned up and backwards so like a jumper! Sometimes this works on my cardigans but on others the back neck comes up too high and looks weird as the front. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-striped-layering-shirt#post-1094805 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 19:46:22 +0000 Angie 1094805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-striped-layering-shirt#post-1094798 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 19:43:09 +0000 texstyle 1094798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks great Astrid - you've done a really nice&nbsp;job at creating interest with the cardi and it doesn't look frumpy at all - esp with the fab boots and pendant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-striped-layering-shirt#post-1094708 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 18:38:06 +0000 Astrid 1094708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Hestonian! Showing just a small bit of the underlayer is how I'd normally wear this, but I think it's very safe and kind of boring. No idea why I've gotten so bored with the look...</p> <p>Thanks Unfrumped! It's definitely too cold to scrunch.</p> <p>Thanks Parkmommychic! I'm with you on not having much cardi love right now. But not wearing them isn't really an option either. </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-striped-layering-shirt#post-1094703 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 18:32:08 +0000 Anonymous 1094703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love stripes - you look great! Can not help with cardi as I am not feeling too much cardi love in my closet right now. Not sure why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-striped-layering-shirt#post-1094693 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 18:26:17 +0000 unfrumped 1094693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shirt, and what Hestonian said. I like the proportions better when the undershirt layer just peaks out an inch or so and also I think your tops look great when you show some wrist, so scrunched.</p> <p>Having said that, in cold weather I have to pull my sleeves down, and no scrunching! so if doing that, I wear a full-sleeved topper or cardigan and cover the shirt sleeve. That's all personal preferences, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-striped-layering-shirt#post-1094665 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 18:03:15 +0000 Hestonian 1094665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the striped shirt...it's very flattering on you. The necklace is a nice touch as well. What would the sleeves of that shirt look like if they were rolled/bunched up enough to show only a couple of inches from under your cardigan sleeves?<br /> Great look...not frumpy to my eyes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-striped-layering-shirt#post-1094655 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 17:56:05 +0000 Astrid 1094655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wore my new striped layering shirt today (I also got a solid navy one). I rolled the arms up to show the striped sleeves underneath to make it more interesting because I've been feeling very frumpy wearing my cardigans lately. Did it work or does it look strange?</p> <p>Do you have any other suggestion how I could make the cardis more interesting?</p> </p>
