Also, where did you find&nbsp;turquoise booties? I think I need some. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-111-25-another-layering-attempt#post-1402648 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 03:25:58 +0000 Suz 1402648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous on you! I love the rich teal/ turquoise and it's fun and a bit unexpected with the B&amp;W gingham! </p> <p>Did the turn under stay okay for you? I think you nailed the proportions!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-111-25-another-layering-attempt#post-1402647 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 03:24:52 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1402647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this one. &nbsp;The color is gorgeous on you and it looks like you nailed the proportions between the sweater and shirt.</p> <p>I am not sure if I am right since pics can be deceiving but I believe you are a bit of an inverted triangle and I found the horizontal striped sweater in the last attempt to widen your shoulder line and the dark straight pant minimized your lower body throwing it off a bit. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-111-25-another-layering-attempt#post-1402646 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 03:24:08 +0000 Anonymous 1402646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, nice! First off, I love the turquoise on you. Turning the welt up certainly worked like a charm (and an idea I'd like to steal). I love the checked shirt on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>FWIW, I have seen Angie layer scooped boat necked sweaters and shells&nbsp;over button front shirts all the time. At first I thought it looked funny, but then, as usual, my eye adjusted to the look and&nbsp;I realized that it's a more modern way of doing the preppy shirt-under-sweater. So don't discount your more scoop-necked and wider V-necked sweaters for layering. They might work too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-111-25-another-layering-attempt#post-1402643 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 03:17:31 +0000 Elly 1402643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks really great on you-- you've got a winning combo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-111-25-another-layering-attempt#post-1402633 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 02:55:44 +0000 jackiec 1402633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I'm no expert, but I think I like this. I'm loving the checks combined with that gorgeous shade of turquoise on you. Wow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-111-25-another-layering-attempt#post-1402629 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 02:52:24 +0000 Elizabeth P 1402629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Neel and thumbelina.<br /> Carla, thanks for the encouragement. And LOL Sharan, I hadn't realized just how close the shoes and sweater were in colour until today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-111-25-another-layering-attempt#post-1402619 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 02:31:37 +0000 thimblelina 1402619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the turquoise with black gingham. Great outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-111-25-another-layering-attempt#post-1402607 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 02:09:14 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1402607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit--I think the layering works beautifully! And of course you can't purge that sweater--you have shoes that match! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-111-25-another-layering-attempt#post-1402601 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 01:59:55 +0000 Neel 1402601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer to layer v-necks over shirts too. I like the necklines that way :). I think you have done a fantastic job here. The only thing I might do is let the sleeves of the shirt peek out too. Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-111-25-another-layering-attempt#post-1402597 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 01:54:43 +0000 Carla 1402597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth P! You are 'working' so hard at these styling dilemmas and I am learning so much from what you are working through!</p> <p>I think this outfit works, and I do love the 'matchy matchy' with the shoes. Good outfit, and worth a repeat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-14-111-25-another-layering-attempt#post-1402589 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 01:36:44 +0000 Elizabeth P 1402589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I refuse to give up!&nbsp; At least, not quite yet.</p> <p>A black gingham shirt has been on my wish list for awhile, and I recently got this one from J Crew.&nbsp; Yay, one that fits!&nbsp; I must have tried on about a half dozen sweaters this morning to wear with it, and they all had necklines too wide, too deep, too scooped... because in the past, I was wearing them alone or with tees, and that requires a totally different neckline.&nbsp; At least it does on me.&nbsp; So I ended up with this cashmere turquoise v-neck I got at Costco about 2-3 yars ago, which I don't think I wore at all last year... because the neckline wasn't deep enough.&nbsp; Oh, the irony.&nbsp; Anyway, I think it works quite well, so I'm glad I didn't purge it!&nbsp; I took some advice from Suz that she posted on a recent thread and turned the welt under to shorten the sweater a bit,&nbsp; </p> <p>What do you think? How did I do? Any and all suggestions welcome! </p>
