I wear this kind of outfits all the way to work, still having joy with them. </p> <p>Nr 2 is a bit tricky to me. The jumper is great on itself, just&nbsp;lacks the sleek connection with the pencil. Can you wear a longer blouse/cami peaking out from under it? Just my 2 cents.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--cardigan-vs-boxy-pullover#post-1382683 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 17:02:16 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1382683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the cardigan is a classic - great shape and fit on you. It may not be super-trendy but it still looks good.</p> <p>I almost want the pullover to be a bit longer, maybe? I so struggle with shapes like this myself; I feel like anything oversized or cabled/chunky ends up making my torso look like a giant box. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--cardigan-vs-boxy-pullover#post-1382663 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 16:29:03 +0000 Pree 1382663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had started a thread about cardigans- should I keep the old here: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-ditch-the-old-cardigans-help-me-decide" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-me-decide</a></p> <p>I have take some pics for visualization of the cardigan vs pullover.&nbsp; <br />Pic 1- Fitted cardigan, hip length (planning to keep cardigan because it is nice cashmere and I love the color). I wore this to work<br />Pic 2 and 3-&nbsp; boxy pullover with pencil skirt.&nbsp; I see this as an update with Angie's formula. (side shows the boxiness of the sweater)</p> <p>What do you think?&nbsp; Does the cardigan look dated and frumpy? And can I wear the boxy pullover for work?<br />I appreciate all of your comments.&nbsp; Thanks!</p>
