I think it's too... pretty. I'd do a bracelet maybe (which is annoying for work, I know). Or maybe a cotton scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1093522 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 19:27:09 +0000 Anonymous 1093522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your top half is very covered while your bottom half is uncovered. That sometimes throws things off. My quickest fix, a pair of black hose. That would do. You could also replace the shoe for a knee high boot. That would balance the top half. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1093471 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 18:50:21 +0000 In My Joi 1093471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color combo and the tartan print! I agree with @ <a href="http://youlookfab.com/member/cheryle/" rel="nofollow">dianthus</a>&nbsp;A shorter top that is fitted&nbsp;should do the trick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1093358 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:11:10 +0000 Kristin L 1093358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had my tea bright and early Lyn </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1093351 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:05:10 +0000 Liz A. 1093351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is the skirt flannel?&nbsp; If not, it looks like it in this picture.&nbsp; I think that's why it's calling for a heavier tight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092987 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:06:12 +0000 lyn67 1092987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this a lot!

One thing I forgot to mention is that I am wearing nude hose. I've started wearing hose daily since our weather turned cooler. </p> <p>I love the idea if a button down under the sweater. I'll try that and let y'all know how it works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092888 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 05:29:22 +0000 JAileen 1092888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Shevia and Adelpha. Tights would be nice. I think the outfit is pretty nice as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092886 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 05:23:44 +0000 Adelfa 1092886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What shevia said. To me the only thing that's off about the outfit is the bare legs, because the shoes, skirt, and sweater seem to be about cooler temperatures. I love them all, and all together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092856 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 04:26:33 +0000 Gigi 1092856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought was that the sweater was a little too long and not fitted enough at the waist. But it is interesting to see others' comments about keeping that as is and changing up shoes, sleeve length, and necklace style. I would love it if you could post pictures showing how each of the variations works out...I think it would be a real learning moment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092845 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 04:08:16 +0000 Mia 1092845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot.</p> <p>I would push the sleeves of the sweater up, remove the necklace and add an oversize black clutch. &nbsp;Really, I think the skirt could be shorter depending on the occasion. &nbsp;This would also be fab with a black bootie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092835 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 03:59:02 +0000 Anonymous 1092835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the skirt! I am with carambola, what about white button down layered under the sweater? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092779 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 03:06:46 +0000 Sveta 1092779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! I would hike the sweater a bit higher to get more slouch and banded top vibe. The skirt is fab and I love the shoes.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092766 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 03:01:49 +0000 catgirl 1092766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Carte said. Or the opposite, a swingier sweater. This seems too in between. But it's really a good outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092764 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 03:01:15 +0000 Jaime 1092764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say tights - the top looks warmer than the bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092747 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:54:28 +0000 Suz 1092747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Aida here. I would like to see a semituck for the sweater and a shorter necklace or none. But I love the skirt on you and I think it works with the sweater.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092733 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:49:38 +0000 minimalist 1092733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't love the necklace with the sweater, or the sweater with the skirt &amp; shoes. Fab from the waist down, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092729 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:48:02 +0000 carambola 1092729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like the sweater with the skirt. I like the shoes too. I would either leave the necklace off or try one that fits in the small scoop of the neck. You could also try layering a button-down under. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092728 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:47:14 +0000 kellygirl 1092728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it as is but I love slouchy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092687 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:26:09 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1092687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Aida and like the sweater with the skirt. I'm wondering if you scrunched the sleeves a bit if it would give you a bit more structure to the sweater? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092682 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:15:40 +0000 Aida 1092682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm I like the slouchiness of the sweater with the skirt, but I see I am in the minority there. I would personally replace the necklace with a bib necklace. I'd also be inclined to swear a daintier shoe which might make the slouchy sweater look even more intentional. </p> <p>EDIT: Agreeing with others below that if you pushed the sleeves up that would also help. Since you don't have hose, having your arms partially exposed will help things feel more seasonally sound. Plus it adds structure to the slouchy sweater.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092681 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:15:12 +0000 Kristin L 1092681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Carter, Dianthus and Caro. Today made me realize I have a whole in wardrobe for a black or gray more fitted sweater.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092678 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:13:37 +0000 Caro in Oz 1092678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd try a&nbsp;semi tuck with the knit too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092663 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:05:31 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1092663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking the same thing as Carter.&nbsp; A slightly shorter or more fitted sweater and you have a hit.&nbsp; Great skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092657 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 02:03:33 +0000 carter 1092657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute combo idea! Maybe what's bugging you is the slouch and length of the sweater. Maybe try a shorter more body con sweater or tuck and belt this one if it's not too bulky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working#post-1092648 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 01:59:29 +0000 Kristin L 1092648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today felt like a plaid kind of day. And I was expecting a busy day, so I added the long gold necklace because it always ups the happiness factor. and the sweater because it was cold for me. But something isn't working here and I'm not sure what it is. I don't know if it's just the sweater or the sweater and necklace or what it is. Any thoughts?</p> <p>Sweater - Old Navy<br />Necklace - Kate Spade<br />Skirt - The Limited<br />Shoes- Franco Sarto </p>
