Ahhh, that sweater is wonderful.....I can understand why you kept thinking about it. I am very happy that you finally found one. It looks great the way have it styled. Love the jeans, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-an-introduction#post-1979902 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 23:41:50 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1979902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you posted after all this time ... and you're off to a great start. If someone said faux leather slouchy trousers, without a photo, I would not imagine anything good. But these are amazing the way you've belted and tucked the sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-an-introduction#post-1979863 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 20:27:07 +0000 Suz 1979863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic outfit! I love the slouchy sweater on you -- it's beautiful. I still love batwings.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-an-introduction#post-1979826 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 17:47:28 +0000 Anonymous 1979826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Dreika. Your outfit looks wonderful! I didn't realize batwing sweaters were not all the rage! I still love them.<br />Your belt and pants are fab too.<br />Overall a super-stylish outfit. I look forward to seeing more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-an-introduction#post-1979812 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 16:49:56 +0000 Dreika 1979812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Thank you all for the warm welcoming and kind words! It feels so good to have a place to discuss one of my favorite things - fashion. I don't know why it took me so long to stop just reading and start participating...<br />Angie, thanks for the encouragement - certainly will try to post when I have something interesting. Most days are just jeans and a sweater but not as interesting as your combos :)<br />Joy, the sweater indeed is warm and cozy, it was very cold that day and I was glad to be wearing it.&nbsp;<br />Taylor, thanks! Slouchy and oversized can do anytime - love the silhouette and wear it in some form almost every day. The tailored look is something that I struggle with. Maybe it looks okay on me but I always find something that's off.&nbsp;<br />Actually, reading all the comments I just realized something - I was a little uneasy about posting a slouchy look here. I'm used to hearing that I should wear something more fitted and start showcasing my waist (the natural one, not the low waist belts that I'm wearing almost always). So hearing such positive feedback is really nice and admittedly confidence boosting.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-an-introduction#post-1979764 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 13:40:39 +0000 Bijou 1979764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A gorgeous sweater, so glad it found its way to you, thank you for posting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-an-introduction#post-1979756 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 13:20:50 +0000 Janet 1979756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! Glad you've chimed in because I LOVE that look on you. The sweater is just the right amount of oversize slouch, and I think it works well with the pants the way you've styled it with the semi-tuck.

Appreciate the support. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-an-introduction#post-1979534 Tue, 04 Dec 2018 16:00:30 +0000 Dreika 1979534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Fabbers,<br /> This is my firts post on the forum although I’ve been reading YLF for years. This the most amazing fashion blog in my opinion, I have learned so much from it and got so much inspiration.<br /> This is a look from last week (so not a December festive yet) with a new to me Zara sweater which I’v been unbelievably lucky to find on Ebay. I remember seeing this sweater on Zara’s site few years ago and immediately falling in love with it. But I didn’t buy it. Thought that it’s too expensive and not practical enough with its batwing sleeves and oversized shape. Every winter since then my thoughts were coming back to it and I was deeply regretting not getting the sweater since I continued to look for something similar to it. Trends changed and to my horror the oversized asymmetrical batwing sweaters are not all the rage now. This fall I found myself once more wishing that I had the sweater in my cold weather arsenal to keep me both warm and stylish. So I decided to try find it on Ebay and had an amazing luck - found it in my size, from a UK seller (I’m not ordering from US due to custom taxes) and on a reasonable price. I just couldn’t believe my luck so once the sweater arrived I got to wear it immediately.<br /> It is indeed oversized but I like that. For the first wear I paired it with slouchy faux leather trousers and the look is a bit too slouchy but I’m okay with it. The wide belt and hidden wedge ankle boots give sufficient structure for me and this was worn with a coat outside for the whole time - so I didn’t tire of all the volume. Next time I would definitely wear it with skinny bottoms although I’m waiting for a wild card trousers to arrive this week which are not skinny and will try it with them too.<br /> Thanks for looking and all your thoughts are welcome and appreciated. </p>
