I love that sweater so much. And of course the boots are the perfect touch. Such a chic look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-old-and-new#post-2400246 Fri, 05 Dec 2025 13:13:25 +0000 Irina 2400246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>lyn67</b>, yes, these boots are very comfortable out the box. I had my doubts, I can’t wear most kitten heels as they feel unsteady and these looked kind of similar. But they are absolutely fine. Narrow, though.&nbsp;<div>Re: transitional glasses. I want green, too. I have 2 black ones, blue and an old brown. My old glasses store recently closed and I wonder what colors the new store would have.&nbsp;</div><div><br /><div>Thank you all for your kind words.&nbsp;</div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-old-and-new#post-2400245 Fri, 05 Dec 2025 13:04:56 +0000 Jules 2400245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW! So stylish even in full winter gear! I love the boots, wish I could handle that kind of heel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-old-and-new#post-2400241 Fri, 05 Dec 2025 12:27:38 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2400241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b>Boot twins for the win!<br />I love how these boots fit the ankle and come up high on the leg so they look good with wider pants.<br />Your outfit is gorgeous with that excellent sweater you found.<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-old-and-new#post-2400240 Fri, 05 Dec 2025 08:52:58 +0000 lyn67 2400240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I also have transitional but have never been offered the blue option, only as a blue light filter-which I also have on tope of the shades. So indoors are clear with an occasional glance of blue-as I have reported above. Have had brown shades for my first 5 years of transitional and for the last 4 years I choosed the other color available charcoal/blacks 8which I love better, than browns---but maybe for my next will insist for some other colors-thanx for teh answer!)&nbsp; </p> <p>Then one more question, are the boots easy to walk in? I have seen this kind of wedge soles but hesitated even to try on for fearing a trip hazard...:-( but guess you wouldn't have bought them in that case...so once again we are prooved never say never, better to be open, and try -they are really eye catching!:-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-old-and-new#post-2400238 Fri, 05 Dec 2025 07:40:14 +0000 slim cat 2400238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great look with both puffers - simply adorable! Fun boots and glasses - rock it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-old-and-new#post-2400230 Fri, 05 Dec 2025 03:47:23 +0000 Suz 2400230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh the boots are avant-garde deluxe! Very cool. And the whole outfit has a sort of space age feel to it despite the traditional name of the pattern (fair Isle) etc. I LOVE this update to the pattern -- it's beautiful! How fun that you were able to source the sweater in the end. I think the proportions work here, partly in this case because the items are so well married but knowing you, the sweater will sing in other outfits, too. If you still have a pair of slim crops of some kind or even full length pants, I'm betting it will work. And with the toque and glasses it's brilliant!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-old-and-new#post-2400227 Fri, 05 Dec 2025 03:11:07 +0000 Jenni NZ 2400227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so fun, I totally understand your buying it even 6 years later. The colours are so great together. I have not got past any matchy-matchy phase </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-old-and-new#post-2400226 Fri, 05 Dec 2025 03:05:36 +0000 cat2 2400226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-old-and-new#post-2400223 Fri, 05 Dec 2025 01:55:33 +0000 Jaime 2400223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sweater was clearly meant to be yours - so gorgeous on you. Love the sleek boots (MD really makes some good looking shoes) and the culottes are my jam so obviously I adore this outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-old-and-new#post-2400216 Fri, 05 Dec 2025 01:12:32 +0000 SarahD8 2400216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh what a fabulous ensemble!<br /> I usually don’t care for “modernized” fair isles but I LOVE this sweater. The color scheme is really great and the pattern looks like a pixelated version of the northern lights. Great find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-old-and-new#post-2400215 Fri, 05 Dec 2025 01:10:48 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2400215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the outfit. The length of the sweater looks good to my eye; somehow you make it work beautifully. Maybe it's partly those sharp looking boots! What a fun outcome, to find the sweater and create the outfit you originally envisioned.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-old-and-new#post-2400212 Fri, 05 Dec 2025 00:50:03 +0000 Irina 2400212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow,&nbsp;<b>lyn67</b>, what a story! Congratulations on getting that sweater!<br />My glasses are transitional, they are going from clear to dark navy depending on the light exposure, so clear inside and more like a regular sunglasses in the sun. All my glasses are with prescription lenses and I like transitional, I don’t have carry two pairs of glasses (regular and sunglasses). I don’t see in a distance.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-old-and-new#post-2400210 Fri, 05 Dec 2025 00:38:30 +0000 lyn67 2400210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful, a match made in heaven with the sweater and the pants! And those boots are spectacular! Loved both variation, the short pufer and the long, too--both gorgeous with the green beanie and...wow, the specs are to die for!!! Is their blue tint permanent or only outdoors? Did you accomodate yourself&nbsp; seeing everything in blue?:-) Love it! I do have a blue coat on mines for filtering blue light but is not a tint, still I love when I catch a glance of their color sometimes in the mirror!&nbsp;<br />And bravo for your patience and diligence along those 6 years till a dream outfit came true!<br />Had a similar story with my&nbsp; Zara metallic pointelle fine lace sweater which I didn't purchase in Fall 2024. I only found it&nbsp; this summer on Poshmark/USA/ luckily listed BNWT but double the original store price?? <br />I even asked in the Forum if this was a common practice on Posh.Then, I convinced myself it was still worth the price only to find out I can not register to Poshmark as is not available for the EU-oh, my, it was so frustrating! But&nbsp; it all turned out good in the end as my bestie (who lives in the USA) was bidding for me from Colorado and won! I was so lucky she was comming to visit us in October so at least I didn't have to pay aditional shipping costs and taxes to the EU (which could also be substantial). So, happy chicks (you and me:-)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-old-and-new#post-2400209 Fri, 05 Dec 2025 00:19:52 +0000 Angie 2400209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER fab! </p> <p>AWWH! I love it when a plan comes together! You were right to snap up the sweater despite the length. You've made it work! All meant to be,<b> Irina</b>! You wear the matching set with grace and panache. Very pretty and festive :)&nbsp;</p> <p>The boots are especially a great win!&nbsp;</p> <p>I can see your gorgeous new Aritzia coat over the outfit too.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-old-and-new#post-2400208 Fri, 05 Dec 2025 00:04:28 +0000 Irina 2400208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all!<br />I love colors in this sweater and its unique texture - the main, light grey knit is in plain wool and green, navy and lilac part has a touch of mohair and slightly fuzzy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-old-and-new#post-2400207 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 23:48:46 +0000 Cookie 2400207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love!!

You look great so lucky to find the jumper especially when you thought it wasn’t to be. Your new boots perfect with the culottes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-old-and-new#post-2400190 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 20:20:12 +0000 Star (Lise) 2400190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh I like these culottes. They a little different to what one usually sees which what makes them special imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---old-new-old-and-new#post-2400188 Thu, 04 Dec 2025 19:31:59 +0000 Irina 2400188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought these warm wool culottes from COS in 2019. They are dark navy with some lilac and teal threads. I also bought a teal puffer the same year and enjoyed wearing it together since. I was into matchy-matchy at the time and wanted a close matching fair isle sweater from COS but my size was sold out. Lo and behold, I found it this year on Poshmark! In excellent condition!I had to buy it to fulfill my dream :)<br />This is a rare case when I ignore obvious fit issues - it’s too long on me.&nbsp;<div>I put it all together like I planned it in 2019 :)<br />I’m also wearing my new boots from Massimo Dutti. Took me a few years to find a suitable pair as 99% of side zip boots no longer fit me. I love these! Please, forgive awkward poses, wanted to showcase them if anyone is interested.&nbsp;</div><div>Alas, it was too cold today for a short puffer. I needed something warmer for my 40 minutes walk. So, I changed into a longer puffer.&nbsp;</div><div>Sorry for the light. The only black item here is my new boots. Other things are dark navy, not black. Including glasses with tinted blue lenses.&nbsp;</div> </p>
