So luxurious looking. And the striped wool? Fabulous!

I think I would have written off chunky knits as Not For Me at least 5 sweaters before you found yours. Love love love both outfits - so fab with the pencil skirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1022-and-1023-shoptober-sweaters-sized-up-for-slouchiness#post-755942 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 03:27:18 +0000 MsMary 755942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, yes!

If it's ever cashmere weather you need to bust that baby out too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1022-and-1023-shoptober-sweaters-sized-up-for-slouchiness#post-755867 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 01:49:27 +0000 Jaime 755867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear - I just wrote how much I love that JCrew sweater on Aida's thread and here you are reconfirming my love by a thousand. That is one gorgeous sweater on you! Make that two gorgeous sweaters. And two gorgeous shoe options - I love both. How do you ever decide? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1022-and-1023-shoptober-sweaters-sized-up-for-slouchiness#post-755863 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 01:46:19 +0000 Marley 755863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - love these outfits! Can't believe that sweater in 1 is what you were trying on in H&amp;M - makes me re-think my "hatred" of cable sweaters because this is pretty darn cool. Also, LOVE 3 - just perfect - and you know, I so wanted that sweater, but the wisdom of the YLF sisterhood gently told me that the color wasn't flattering on me - they were right! Glad that you got it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1022-and-1023-shoptober-sweaters-sized-up-for-slouchiness#post-755850 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 01:33:06 +0000 Transcona Shannon 755850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You make me want more sweaters MaryK - and in bigger sizes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1022-and-1023-shoptober-sweaters-sized-up-for-slouchiness#post-755830 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 01:15:52 +0000 nancylee 755830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these, MK.

I'm glad we finally got you a chunky sweater, I was starting to feel bad shooting them all down I'm seriously considering going back and getting the ivory sweater, too! Perfect slouch on both, and I do think you rock this silhouette Mary (push up those sleeves in #3!)</p> <p>Una, I'm the same as you! Wait, size down? So it's fitted? Wha? My husband hates it when I size up </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1022-and-1023-shoptober-sweaters-sized-up-for-slouchiness#post-755782 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 00:49:50 +0000 Angie 755782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 just launched me into orbit and now I am flying around the room! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1022-and-1023-shoptober-sweaters-sized-up-for-slouchiness#post-755749 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 00:23:43 +0000 Anonymous 755749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, you are a pioneer. I actually think you are the first fabber I saw in BF jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1022-and-1023-shoptober-sweaters-sized-up-for-slouchiness#post-755746 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 00:20:12 +0000 catgirl 755746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just as an aside, I find this hilarious, because sizing up for slouchiness has been my M.O. forever. The big stunner in my case was "size down if you actually want something to fit". BF jeans, slouchy sweaters, oversized jackets - all just the way I thought everything should fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1022-and-1023-shoptober-sweaters-sized-up-for-slouchiness#post-755743 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 00:15:37 +0000 Anonymous 755743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, wait for it...<br /> I LOVE THIS<br /> Aida is a genius.<br /> Size up for slouchiness:)<br /> and I think you did the right call on the second look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1022-and-1023-shoptober-sweaters-sized-up-for-slouchiness#post-755732 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 00:03:52 +0000 Nadya 755732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep the bag in #2, but the shoes in #3 to tone it down. I just loved the matchy matchy colorblocky fabness of the bag and sweater. But I'm weird in so many ways </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1022-and-1023-shoptober-sweaters-sized-up-for-slouchiness#post-755687 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 23:13:59 +0000 kellygirl 755687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stellar outfit, MaryK! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1022-and-1023-shoptober-sweaters-sized-up-for-slouchiness#post-755679 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 23:07:19 +0000 MsMary 755679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, it's all about the sizing up!! I looked like stuffed sausage, too, until I sized up TWO sizes! </p> <p>*waving at Aida* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1022-and-1023-shoptober-sweaters-sized-up-for-slouchiness#post-755665 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 22:55:33 +0000 rachylou 755665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok. I tried on cable knits at H&amp;M this weekend; I looked like stuffed sausage!

Love the combo with your Miz Mooz oxfords! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1022-and-1023-shoptober-sweaters-sized-up-for-slouchiness#post-755648 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 22:29:37 +0000 catgirl 755648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember those H &amp; M sweaters - didn't we have to force you to put back two other colors? This one looks great, as does the j. crew - having seen them in person I know that slouch looks even better IRL than it photographs, so you are outta the park here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1022-and-1023-shoptober-sweaters-sized-up-for-slouchiness#post-755643 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 22:22:43 +0000 Anonymous 755643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are a different look for you but both sweaters look wonderful. I love the way you styled both. The oversized slouchiness of #2 looks cool. I like the pendant necklace to break up the horizontal stripes and the bag is perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1022-and-1023-shoptober-sweaters-sized-up-for-slouchiness#post-755632 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 22:02:08 +0000 MsMaven 755632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the first outfit--so simple yet so chic on you. #3 is definitely the winner look in my eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1022-and-1023-shoptober-sweaters-sized-up-for-slouchiness#post-755629 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 21:59:06 +0000 Mochi 755629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK, that sweater looks about a thousand times better in this pic than it did in the store! Thank goodness you got it! It must have been the overhead lighting? (The fitting room of my local Nordies has death-lighting that makes you look as fat, old, short and blotchy as humanly possible. I'm amazed at this achievement.) </p> <p>I second your decision to change out the bag and shoes. Not so much man-repellery, but definitely matchy-matcherino. You have great instincts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1022-and-1023-shoptober-sweaters-sized-up-for-slouchiness#post-755624 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 21:44:12 +0000 MsMary 755624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. One of my goals for Shoptoberfest was to find a chunky knit, and after trying on pretty much every one in Orange County and having Aida shoot 'em all down, I found this one at H&amp;M, of all places. It was finally cool enough to wear it yesterday and I teamed it with my gray Halogen pencil skirt, Madden Girl gray pumps, pink/gold/ivory/gray silk scarf from Coach, and Michael Kors gold bag. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out, although I think it looked better in person that in the photo.</p> <p>2. After H&amp;M the Shoptoberfesters went to J Crew, where Aida and I both snagged this gorgeous merino wool striped pullover. On her suggestion I sized up to a large for a great slouchy look, which I love. I love how the tan shoulder portion bookends my tan Halogen pencil skirt! </p> <p>I was originally planning on wearing my Miz Mooz two-toned heeled oxfords and Vince Camuto colorblock bag (photo 2), but in the end I decided this look was a little too matchy/manrepellery for the office. So I changed into my nude Seychelles shooties and silver Michael Kors tote, which are a little more subdued (photo 3). Which accessories do you all prefer? Oh, and the fab black pendant is an Aida pick from H&amp;M!</p> <p>This is a slightly new look for me. What do yo uall think? </p>
