The sweater is cotton rather than wool. I hope it will still work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066946 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 11:27:22 +0000 Debra 1066946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great, I love that black and white jumper and the way you've teamed it with white jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066931 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 11:07:42 +0000 Ingunn 1066931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater is lovely, Thistle, and I love it with white jeans. I think the blocking solution is a great idea. You could dampen it, shape it and let it dry flat on a terry cloth. Works every time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066927 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 10:50:59 +0000 lyn67 1066927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great&nbsp;print and color block&nbsp;sweater, but I would like it a bit&nbsp;longer. I do have troubles finding them longer, too:-((. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066839 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 05:31:55 +0000 Neel 1066839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit! ...... I agree that sizing up on the sweater should make the outfit&nbsp;just perfect. &nbsp;I think you looked great all day ....... just the way you felt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066742 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 02:50:30 +0000 Beth Ann 1066742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great example of the white jeans in winter look!&nbsp; I agree that a sweater with more drape would be even better, but I can see why DH liked this look!&nbsp; I think the black raglan sleeves actually make for a sort of visual slimming, and don't find it a "boxy."&nbsp; Wear and enjoy!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066688 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 02:07:42 +0000 Thistle 1066688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, it is a new sweater. Today was its first debut, with white pants instead of my trademark black! DH really liked it, and I liked that it was warm. Whenever he says, "oooh, I like that"&nbsp; I have started to just assume it is a keeper&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066680 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 02:02:00 +0000 Angie 1066680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, yes. With a steam iron. Good thinking Pil and Suz.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066674 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 01:55:38 +0000 Suz 1066674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I think she means that after washing you can very carefully stretch wool in an even way. There's a technique to it but it's not too difficult, and it can often slightly re-size a sweater that has shrunk. You can (to a small degree) adapt the shape of the garment.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066669 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 01:52:39 +0000 Angie 1066669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pil, I'm not with you. What do you mean by blocking the sweater?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066656 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 01:42:42 +0000 Suz 1066656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful sweater! And it looks great with the white jeans. I wonder if Pil is onto something re the fit -- if you can adjust it, it will be a complete winner.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066625 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 01:11:57 +0000 Deborah 1066625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a stunner of an outfit Thistle. &nbsp;I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066617 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 01:06:36 +0000 pil 1066617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is pretty slick, Thistle! Is the sweater new? I don't recall seeing it and would totally wear it myself! The chevron pattern even mimics the toe of your boots.</p> <p>Angie, would blocking the sweater (if the knit would accept it) make enough difference in the fit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066560 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:44:57 +0000 Angie 1066560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun and fearless are you, Madame. This outfit made me smile big time, Thistle. It needs a slightly larger pullover in this exact silhouette and it's an absolute homerun. Well done. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066557 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:44:07 +0000 Day Vies 1066557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this. I don't understand why you feel this isn't a look for you. I'd size up in the sweater to play up the casual ease but I love how you've winterized your white jeans. Lovely!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066546 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:35:44 +0000 Aquamarine 1066546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this Thistle! The darker raglan sleeves mitigate any boxiness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066544 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:35:09 +0000 Sarah A 1066544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater is superbly fabulous and i really like how you have combined it here. The dark raglan sleeves and booties are particularly fab together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066521 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:18:26 +0000 Parsley 1066521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this look on you a lot, Thistle!<br />The graphic sweater is really fashionable looking, and I like the way the&nbsp;black booties bookend it.<br />You look great!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066517 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:14:44 +0000 Anonymous 1066517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This isn't bad! I like how you tied in the white with the print on the sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066515 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:12:20 +0000 deb 1066515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the sweater need to be looser. But it is not bad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1028---angies-formula#post-1066512 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:10:53 +0000 Thistle 1066512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I wanted to try Angie's formula of winterizing white pants. I selected a heavy and warm herringbone high low sweater, white trousers, and black booties. I was feeling pretty fashionable all day, then got home and had DH take the picture. I am thinking the boxy high low sweater is not my best look.&nbsp;Oh well. At least I was warm!</p> <p>Sweater - MICHAEL Michael Kors<br />Trousers - Ralph Lauren<br />Booties - BCBG </p>
