And I think this length, at least with this sweater/outfit, works for you quite well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-styling-kr-sweater#post-825459 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 12:01:08 +0000 Niefern 825459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look really good in all the pictures, and I would keep the orange sweater.<br /> I will read the article linked by Isis, because I have a number of too short/outdated tops (I have already purged a few), but I think your orange sweater is very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-styling-kr-sweater#post-825349 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 03:42:02 +0000 amiable 825349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the article link Isis - I had some feeling that there was reason behind top lengths, but hadn't figured it out yet. I'm tall-ish, and find a lot of tops on the short side. But I think I can layer this one (and another couple of short ones) over longer tops (when I find them!), or, like you and the article suggest, with skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-styling-kr-sweater#post-825304 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 02:58:22 +0000 Krista 825304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the colors in the sweater! And color is actually one of my style goals - as much as I like to wear an all-black outfit, I am usually back into color as soon as possible. It's an essential for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-styling-kr-sweater#post-825216 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 01:52:52 +0000 Beth Ann 825216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love you in these colors! The sweater reminds me of vintage Benetton. Yes, it's a little short, but it is charming and it sounds like you've got things "covered." I believe in paying attention to proportions, but I feel free to make executive decisions and overrule the rules occasionally! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-styling-kr-sweater#post-825211 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 01:43:06 +0000 pil 825211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweaters are really nice on you although I can't really comment on the length.<br /> Thanks, Isis, for providing that link - I found it useful.<br /> Your helper is very cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-styling-kr-sweater#post-825196 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 01:20:59 +0000 Isis 825196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your boy is too cute!</p> <p>I think the top is too short to be worn with pants, so I vote return....here's an old primer, but I think it still holds:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2008/04/28/the-right-length-for-tops-worn-over-pants/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2008/04/.....ver-pants/</a></p> <p>This top would work with skirts, the colors are fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-styling-kr-sweater#post-825192 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 01:15:02 +0000 Susie 825192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think bright and cheerful is a great look for you! The colors are lovely on you.

Thumbs up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-styling-kr-sweater#post-825168 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 00:45:44 +0000 Anonymous 825168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly it looks a bit short on it's own but I love the idea of layering something longer under it, rather than over. I think you can make a lot with it.</p> <p>Love the WIW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-styling-kr-sweater#post-825154 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 00:34:45 +0000 amiable 825154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I'll keep the sweater. It has a tiny hole that I need to repair, but I don't mind making little repairs - just wanted to ask if it was worth keeping before I bothered.</p> <p>It's this short (not tucked), and I couldn't wear it with my super-low-rise skinnies, I don't think. But with my normal-rise pants, it's no problem. I'm wearing an under-shirt, since it's 100% wool and just a tad itchy. With the undershirt, I have no problems, and I've been warm and comfy in it all day.</p> <p>(Oh, and I did try wrapping the scarf, but liked it's looks more unwrapped - it looked a bit like a clown collar or something wrapped and doubled up....)</p> <p>Thank you all! I'm glad that colors and RATE can go together. I like them both </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-styling-kr-sweater#post-825125 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 00:13:01 +0000 Anonymous 825125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think colour and RATE go just fine together!</p> <p>I love the colours of the sweater on you -- I like it best with a topper but I can see why you were drawn to it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-styling-kr-sweater#post-825119 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 00:10:18 +0000 Thistle 825119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adorable accessory in #5! </p> <p>I like #3 the best, although maybe not very RATE. I agree with the previous posters,try wrapping the scarf. It makes them more wearable as they stay out stuff and keeps you warmer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-styling-kr-sweater#post-825108 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 00:05:17 +0000 Caro in Oz 825108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd wrap the scarf around (like a cowl) it may feel more you. Love the colours in the sweater too. Cute boy you have there:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-styling-kr-sweater#post-825105 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 00:03:43 +0000 moira 825105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that striped sweater a lot. I would go even brighter. Don't you have some jeans/cords in that same tone? Have you tried this sweater with those? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-styling-kr-sweater#post-825098 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 00:01:01 +0000 suzyq 825098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what you mean about ruffles. Not natural for me either but it does look really pretty on you maybe give it a little loop. It also provides the color you crave. You really look good in this turtle neck. Imo not to bright or tight and if thats your sweet spot than it's probably long enough. Kind of hard to tell with out a straight on shot. Is it tucked? does your back or belly show when you lit your arms? You could layer it over a cami. I love all the help you get from the kiddos, adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-styling-kr-sweater#post-825096 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 00:00:46 +0000 kellygirl 825096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colors! I really like the orange sweater on you--looks great with and without the jacket. This is a great RATE look. Accessory in 5 is so cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-styling-kr-sweater#post-825079 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 23:38:26 +0000 amiable 825079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 WIW yesterday. I planned the outfit around the ruffle scarf that I wanted to wear to demonstrate to a friend what they were (I gave several away for Christmas). I don't really think all the ruffles are 'me', though I like the colors in this particular scarf a lot (it's a burgundy-purple varigate)</p> <p>#2-5 My new-to-me red/orange/violet/gold striped gap sweater. I'm not totally sold on keeping it, but I like it's bright cheeriness. (Is it too bright? Too short? Too tight?) I wore it like in #3, even though I think it probably looked best in #5. The lighter jeans are warmer, and it's cold today.</p> <p>(#5 bonus pic of my 5yo ds. When it's bright enough to not require a steady hand, he's often the cameraman. But my 6yo dd has the steadiest hand, so she's taken most of the recent pics)</p> <p>And the style epiphany of the week is that I really like colors. I admire the black/white style of several of you (especially ceit and sveta recently). But when I look at pics of me without color (or even monochrome), it feels too sombre and stark (for black/white combos). I want to be bright and cheerful, colorful and still RATE. Is that weird? Is it even possible? (Oh, and not too much color - just enough to be cheerful, not enough to really stand out). It may be just a phase.... I don't know. </p>
