However, you could also layer it with a longish camisole in pink underneath the pullover and wear white pants or skinny jeans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-924---a-bit-of-whimsy#post-1038202 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 04:48:22 +0000 Amy 1038202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies!

While thumbing through a Glamour magazine at the hair salon today there was a page about fair isle sweaters being in vogue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-924---a-bit-of-whimsy#post-1037976 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 22:25:28 +0000 Vickie KY 1037976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your sweater. I like your look as is, but if you want to mix it up even more pick out one of the colors in the sweater for your shoes or get a hot pink pair of jeans.<br />Vickie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-924---a-bit-of-whimsy#post-1037868 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 19:36:26 +0000 Angie 1037868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Killer </p> <p>Bless your pant lengths and how fun to see you back on the forum, Amy. I love this outfit. Your legs go for miles. This is how to add a modern touch to classic bootcuts. Gorgeous. Great swagger and texture. </p> <p>Your bob is fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-924---a-bit-of-whimsy#post-1037865 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 19:28:10 +0000 Sheila 1037865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater is lovely...I could see it with winter white or creme trousers or, for a more casual look, blue jeans with faded elements. In other words, the sweater can be dressed both up and down. Kudos to you for creating it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-924---a-bit-of-whimsy#post-1037847 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 18:54:59 +0000 Amy 1037847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great ideas, thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-924---a-bit-of-whimsy#post-1037825 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 18:19:18 +0000 Beth Ann 1037825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look like a Hollywood starlet, photographed at home by LIFE magazine, circa 1948.&nbsp; Love the cut and flow of the trousers, and I think I like the fact that they're a lighter tone.&nbsp; Gorgeous, classic look for the sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-924---a-bit-of-whimsy#post-1037741 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 16:58:05 +0000 Anonymous 1037741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whimsy is good for the soul. The sweater turned out great, I tried knitting once, it didn't go well. I'm in awe of your talent. Like Anna, I think it would go really well with dark bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-924---a-bit-of-whimsy#post-1037705 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 16:18:11 +0000 Diana 1037705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha!&nbsp; Ropes and studs... dying here.</p> <p>I love the handknit sweater!&nbsp; I could see it with a full skirt, maybe something with a little bit of Victorian flair (like hitches or something)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-924---a-bit-of-whimsy#post-1037688 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 16:00:43 +0000 annagybe 1037688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sweater. Though I think I'd prefer darker pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-924---a-bit-of-whimsy#post-1037679 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:51:09 +0000 Day Vies 1037679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater is SO cute. I think you'd love it paired with an A-line skirt. It has a retro feel to it and if you're really daring you'd find some maryjanes and colored tights ;-)&nbsp; (Excuse my bias, I'm feeling a little retro today!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-924---a-bit-of-whimsy#post-1037676 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:48:49 +0000 Suz 1037676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You knit that? Wow! It looks like a "real" sweater! &nbsp;;-)&nbsp;</p> <p>Super cute motif, and if you can't have a bit of whimsy in your life, then what is the fun of fashion?&nbsp;</p> <p>Great to see you post, Amy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-924---a-bit-of-whimsy#post-1037675 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:47:16 +0000 Anonymous 1037675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

The umbrellas are adorable. You look great in it, and the outfit allows it to shine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-924---a-bit-of-whimsy#post-1037643 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:29:59 +0000 celia 1037643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, good to see you.<br />People have the most interesting reactions.But no need to do the next one in rope with studs , this one suits you&nbsp;and I can see you layering a white button down shirt underneath.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-924---a-bit-of-whimsy#post-1037638 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:24:25 +0000 Amy 1037638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Other than my handknit sweater, this outfit feels rather boring to me. It doesn't get any more simple than a pair of pants and a pullover. I'll have to work on more interesting ways of styling this top. All suggestions are welcome!</p> <p>When I was knitting this, some of my friends asked me if I was making it for my 9 yo daughter. I suppose the bright purple/pink/green combo (colors are not true in photo) and the motif do read as juvenile, but I'm not going to worry about that too much. Next time, I'll knit something out of rope and bedeck it with studs. That should toughen up my look! </p>
