The broach is nice touch too. This sweater reminds me of one I saw a blogger wearing recently, so I would suggest you on are right on trend I am drooling over those red booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-770796 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 04:12:45 +0000 Kiwichik 770796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fab it almost makes me wish it was winter down under.......... hmm on second thoughts roll on summer ..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-770788 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 04:02:58 +0000 CocoLion 770788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great work outfit formula! It is work appropriate but not stuffy and the sweater, tweed, and booties are super on-trend. It's not easy to combine trends with work wear but you do it with ease. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-770766 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 03:36:07 +0000 moira 770766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, taupe and anything usually works. I wore a taupe dress that I am not crazy about on it's own, with a midnight blue V-neck sweater and brown tights and blue grey mary janes with brown piping and , dang, I thought I looked cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-769804 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:08:08 +0000 Aida 769804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SUCH a delicious color combo (I am also wearing taupe and burgundy today, /highfive). Sweater looks great, booties look great. You can still go hoseless though?? Color me jealous! Bright gloves could certainly work here, I vote any other color than red. Turquoise? Mustard? ORANGE?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-769541 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:40:31 +0000 Anonymous 769541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a lovely outfit, good for you!</p> <p>I kind of dig the gloves but it must be because I bought some loud, ridiculously red ones myself, which I plan to mismatch with anything and everything under the sun. Get yourself a patterned scarf with a bit of that color on it and you will form a little grouping that can stand alone, with every outfit and every coat.</p> <p>... and a tweed coat goes with everything in my book, as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-769522 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:28:41 +0000 Angie 769522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so cute, I can't stand it. You take a new trend by the horns and bingo! You're wearing it with panache. So. Much. Flair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-769438 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:59:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 769438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - I'm firmly convinced that taupe is just about the perfect neutral colour. It really goes with almost everything.</p> <p>Thanks Kirti , Day Vies, Claire and Jem! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-769254 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 16:06:13 +0000 Jem 769254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun outfit! I'm kindof liking the grey-ish coat with the taupe skirt and definitely with the red. I like that combination and agree it was a good choice to leave the gloves at home. Maybe you need some purple gloves? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-769251 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 16:05:24 +0000 Anonymous 769251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these colors together too! It's very close to the olive/burgundy combo I also love. The only thing I would have left off is the gloves (and I realize you *did* leave them off). The marled sweater is lovely with the skirt--not dated--and I love a broach on a sweater. The booties, of course, are TDF and your proportions are excellent, as usual. You look SO good today. On the coat, I beg to differ with you. I think it's the perfect choice. Yummy textures all together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-769232 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 15:54:43 +0000 Day Vies 769232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the bag!!!! I wish I had a close up of the patten no the sweater. Your accessories are so spot on and fun-- a brooch indeed! Very cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-769086 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 14:31:42 +0000 Kirti 769086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely sweater Shannon! It looks great with taupe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-769072 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 14:19:30 +0000 Suz 769072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is beautiful, oh skirt twin! I love the texture of the sweater with the skirt. And as I'm coming to understand, taupe looks great with a surprising number of colours. I would like to copy but will have to go shopping for red booties first! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-769047 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:59:32 +0000 Transcona Shannon 769047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy - the booties are the Sam Edelman Lisle ones that Angie has in her store. These are definitely one of my best footwear purchases. They are extremely comfortable, great heel height and the colour is perfect - I didn't want anything too bright, you know? Laura also has these booties and is pleased with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-769043 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:54:04 +0000 Anonymous 769043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I've wanted to steal your snake bag for ages and now covet those red booties. What brand are they? The red and taupe are a great combo and I like the broach as an alternative to a necklace or scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-769041 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:51:34 +0000 Transcona Shannon 769041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree that the glove colour is the wrong red - I ended up leaving them at home. It was warm enough without gloves anyway. The coat is a necessary piece in our neck of the woods but maybe isn't the best with this outfit...oh well...it's only worn from the house to the garage anyway.</p> <p>The non matching reds of the sweater and booties however doesn't bother me in the least - guess it's just a personal preference thing.</p> <p>Thanks for chiming in ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-769040 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:37:23 +0000 amiable 769040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is terrific! I love the combo of that sweater and skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-769034 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:31:40 +0000 Jaime 769034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sweater and booties with the skirt, but find the glove color a bit jarring with them. Apart from that I think this is a fantastic look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-769033 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:31:00 +0000 Anonymous 769033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the outfit on you, you look great, I love those booties they are very nice. Every piece is great but....the coat doesn't work for me with the rest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-769028 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:13:13 +0000 Anne Boleyn 769028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahhh I LOVE the combination of the sweater and skirt - it's soothing but warm at the same time, and looks great on you! I'm not loving the red of the booties with the red of the sweater quite as much (different red undertones?) but it still looks good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-769018 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 12:39:50 +0000 Mochi 769018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taupe and red is not something I would have thought of, but I really like the combo...for some reason it's very soothing to me.....pair it with the bag and it pops but in a very subtle, sophisticated way (if that makes sense). And the coat adds the great finishing touch. Love it! This is something I would wear in a heartbeat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-chunky-knit-and-red-booties#post-769011 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 12:34:55 +0000 Transcona Shannon 769011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really enjoyed wearing my pencil skirt/chunky knit combo the first time (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-chunky-knit-orange-skirt-snakeskin" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-snakeskin</a>) so wanted to wear that same formula again but with different pieces.</p> <p>Today I started with my taupe ponte knit skirt (waving to skirt twin Suz!) and paired it with a burgundy chunky, slightly drapey knit. I have had this sweater for YEARS but only wore it with jeans or around the house on a chilly day. I never thought to pair it with a skirt until that clever Angie told us it could work. I hope the sweater doesn't look too dated.</p> <p>I then added my red booties for some more fun colour, my snakeskin handbag for a bit of pattern (plus the taupe shades in the handbag work great with this skirt). Overtop of everything is my grey boucle knit jacket and red leather gloves. Although difficult to see, I'm wearing a vintage pewter and pink jewelled brooch - it adds just a wee bit of something to the sweater IMO.</p> <p>What do you think? Does this work?
