Really like the first one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-of-cold-weather-ffbo-silhouettes#post-1400046 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 14:17:14 +0000 jackiec 1400046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both outfits! The tipped blazer looks so cool over the floral top. And the sweater/plaid pants look is awesome. Love the colours - love the boots. Your outdoors pic is fab </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-of-cold-weather-ffbo-silhouettes#post-1400026 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:45:18 +0000 Alassë 1400026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colours in 2 are so rich and flattering, and you wear&nbsp;the outfit formula in 1 so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-of-cold-weather-ffbo-silhouettes#post-1399981 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 10:08:20 +0000 lyn67 1399981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, those tall boots are so rich looking with all the plaids, wools and&nbsp;cabble knit in your outfit! Nr 1 is so fun&nbsp;for a&nbsp;sunny&nbsp;but&nbsp; colder day, love that yellow piping on your blazer sooo much!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-of-cold-weather-ffbo-silhouettes#post-1399934 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 05:14:24 +0000 Neel 1399934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the cognac boots here :). Adds a beautiful earthy tone to the outfit. You look smashing in bootcuts too ^_^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-of-cold-weather-ffbo-silhouettes#post-1399921 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 04:35:20 +0000 Sveta 1399921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I love the black watch plaid pants with the cognac boots, great pairing!<br />The grey blazer and flower top look wonderful together and bootcuts are very flattering. Wear them while you still can (we had our first snow this week so no bootcuts for me &nbsp;for a while ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-of-cold-weather-ffbo-silhouettes#post-1399860 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 02:41:34 +0000 Jaime 1399860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love the second outfit - the colors and patterns look terrific together. The bootcuts are also fab with the pointy toes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-of-cold-weather-ffbo-silhouettes#post-1399821 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 01:11:18 +0000 Anonymous 1399821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is the second outfit. Your hand knit sweater and scarf look made too air with your plaid skinnies. It's a wonderful look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-of-cold-weather-ffbo-silhouettes#post-1399815 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 00:59:34 +0000 E 1399815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thnx for all of the info! I've gotten Knit to Flatter out from the library a couple times; I wish it was on sale for Nooks too because that's a great deal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-of-cold-weather-ffbo-silhouettes#post-1399789 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 00:28:52 +0000 Suz 1399789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh - loving the outdoor photo! It lets us see the rich colours as well as textures. That's such a great twist on "preppy" and so flattering on you!&nbsp;</p> <p>The first one looks great, too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-of-cold-weather-ffbo-silhouettes#post-1399757 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 23:50:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1399757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great outfits, Diana. Your sweater is gorgeous! I really like the cognac boots in outfit 2. They are a refreshing change from darker ones. Outfit 1 is cheery and bright for a winter's day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-of-cold-weather-ffbo-silhouettes#post-1399744 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 23:11:21 +0000 Aida 1399744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice FFBO silhouettes! I also do my FFBOs more as silhouette than actual outfits ^^ I adore the dark floral paired with the neon trim in #1, sooo fun. GREAT boots in the second outfit, now that's a lace-up boot I can get behind! The sweater looks super, particularly like the long sleeve length. I'm going to have to file this outfit away for future copying; moody blue top + blue/green plaid skinnies + cognac boots. Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-of-cold-weather-ffbo-silhouettes#post-1399718 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 22:30:32 +0000 Diana 1399718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>E, I used a pattern for a plain sweater (although the version I used was in Finnish + google translate, so I kind of just guessed in some parts) and a cable that I've always loved from a different pattern.&nbsp; Here is the Ravelry link for my project if you are interested:<br /><a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/akabori/clovelly" rel="nofollow">http://www.ravelry.com/projects/akabori/clovelly</a></p> <p>By the way, you might be interested in this book, which is currently on super sale (for the kindle version); it has some nice aran sweater patterns, but also a wealth of information about how to modify patterns for body types, etc. <br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Knit-Flatter-instructions-youll-sweaters-ebook/dp/B00J0RP7RK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1416436333&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=fit+to+flatter&amp;pebp=1416436335799" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Knit-Fla.....1_1?ie=UTF</a></p> <p>Outside, I wore the blazer outfit under the same green coat that is in picture #3.&nbsp; The coat is roomy enough to fit everything.&nbsp; I don't think it bunches more than, say, a big sweater under a coat.&nbsp; </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-of-cold-weather-ffbo-silhouettes#post-1399709 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 22:18:38 +0000 E 1399709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! That sweater is amazing! I have the yarn to knit an aran-type sweater, but I'm still debating in my head whether to make it a jumper or a cardigan, and I've yet to find just the right pattern. Did you make it up or use a pattern?</p> <p>Um, back to the outfits, hehe. I love those plaid skinnies. &nbsp;And both of those formulas sound great! Do you wear the blazer on its own or under a coat? I only started wearing blazer-type jackets when I lived in Texas, so I've yet to need to layer them, and it sounds bunchy. But maybe it's not? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-of-cold-weather-ffbo-silhouettes#post-1399708 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 22:14:12 +0000 Thistle 1399708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fab! Love #2 especially! cozy, texturally rich, and warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-of-cold-weather-ffbo-silhouettes#post-1399704 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 22:10:37 +0000 Diana 1399704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A couple of winter FFBO silhouettes since we are having super cold weather at the moment.&nbsp; </p> <p>1: bootcuts and blazer with printed top underneath.&nbsp; I popped my new pointy flat booties underneath to freshen things up a bit.&nbsp; Bootcuts and little booties can only be worn so long as there is no snow on the ground though.<br />(Gap blazer, H&amp;M tee, Lucky jeans, Seychelles booties).</p> <p>2: big sweater and printed skinnies.&nbsp; It's cold enough to break out my plaid flannel skinnies!&nbsp; I usually wear this combo with black or grey boots, but since I just got these cognac boots back from the cobbler (heel replacement), I figured why not wear them.&nbsp; I didn't realize until later that the cobbler had actually relaced them funny after polishing them, which is why the laces on the right boot look messed up in the photos.&nbsp; I was unhappy with the lighting in my photo spot (winter light, boo), so I tried a quick outdoors shot, which has better color, but I wasn't about to take off my coat!&nbsp; <br />(handknit sweater and scarf, Joe's jeans, Miz Mooz boots, CK coat, Longchamp bag).</p>
