As far as I am concerned, anyone wearing a Breton striped sweater can do no wrong. It's a fabulously chic look.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-close-encounters#post-936692 Sun, 19 May 2013 23:14:05 +0000 JulieJohn 936692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, MaryK, as always you are very kind.<br /><br />Caro, thank you my dear.

I find it true to size in a slightly roomy way, just how I wanted it. It is substantial but drapes nicely. It machine-washes and machine-dries beautifully too, which is a huge plus. I love the boat neck, it makes things fun.<br /><br />Ramya, I can't wait to see your version. This is a great way to add a touch of rugged manliness, especially with DH's shirt!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-close-encounters#post-936607 Sun, 19 May 2013 20:33:40 +0000 ramya 936607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Dh has a topper like this that I have been eyeing now I will have to borrow it .<br />So that I can kind of duplicate you https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-close-encounters#post-936596 Sun, 19 May 2013 20:01:24 +0000 Glory 936596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Absolutely love this on you.

Great outfit! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-close-encounters#post-936541 Sun, 19 May 2013 18:12:17 +0000 Raisin 936541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ohhh, stripes and stars! &nbsp;Love it!<br /><br />Very cute outfit, and chic too. &nbsp;Sounds like it was a delish dinner! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-close-encounters#post-936537 Sun, 19 May 2013 18:10:41 +0000 catgirl 936537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Bread pudding with fudge sauce?&nbsp; Mmmm.....<br /><br />You look very casual chic and your bob elevates everything.&nbsp; Out of this world! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---stripes-dots-and-close-encounters#post-936498 Sun, 19 May 2013 17:22:03 +0000 JulieJohn 936498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hello, lovelies!<br /><br />I wore this YLF-inspired concoction last night to a meeting of CERO, Close Encounters Research Organization. It was a very interesting evening, lots of slides and videos from Russia and Mexico where there have been a plethora of fascinating UFO sightings, especially recently. It was DH and me and our dear friend, so we had lots of great conversation on the 75-mile car ride (each way). Another highlight was a really great dinner before the meeting at Brent's Deli. Pastrami on onion-egg bread, chicken noodle soup, and bread pudding with hot fudge and whipped cream. No regrets. I felt so comfortable, pleasantly chic and unfussy, happiness factor a 10.<br /><br />Striped sweater: LL Bean<br />Polka-dot skinnies: Gap - I love these, they are lightweight and will be a staple this summer.<br />Belt: you can't see it but I need it to keep the pants in place!<br />Boots: Diba<br />Necklace: DIY and it's doing something funny in the photos, please excuse. There's a little magnet to swap out the colored stone. Maybe it's magnetized to my underwire!<br /><br />Oh, by the way, our friend said, "you look really nice, Julie. In fact you might be a tad overdressed." SCORE!<br /><br />
