The outfit looks so good ... But the bunching and fussing would annoy me too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-belted-cardi#post-1375594 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 15:16:42 +0000 Carole 1375594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good! But I can just imagine how annoying it would be and feel to deal with slipping and adjusting the layers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-belted-cardi#post-1375551 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 13:55:45 +0000 Angie 1375551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES. The tugging and adjusting would drive me insane too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-belted-cardi#post-1375529 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 13:22:01 +0000 Sara L. 1375529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of layering the cardigan over an open shirt.&nbsp; It creates some interesting lines, but I agree with Marley and Deborah that a wider belt might work better.&nbsp; I hate fussy outfits too and that's one reason I don't usually wear belts over sweaters - they never stay looking right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-belted-cardi#post-1375486 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 07:51:56 +0000 Deborah 1375486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks good, but comfort has to be a factor too and I hate fussing with clothies. The belt is very thin! I cannot see a buckle. I am kind of wanting to see a wider belt, not too wide but maybe 3 or 4 cm width. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-belted-cardi#post-1375132 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 18:36:20 +0000 Marley 1375132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would be an easy fix - longer cardigan and a more substantial belt (one that is wider!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-belted-cardi#post-1375108 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 17:40:58 +0000 Suz 1375108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks really good on you. But I can easily imagine the frustrations of the tug and pull thing. I wonder if there are ways to tweak it so that's not such an issue. Interesting challenge!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-belted-cardi#post-1375059 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 16:09:54 +0000 catgirl 1375059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a great look - now just don't move. :)&nbsp;&nbsp; Thanks for posting it because I think it can be tweaked to work and not just look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-belted-cardi#post-1375047 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:50:57 +0000 Debbie 1375047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good would like to see you try this again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-belted-cardi#post-1375036 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:35:37 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1375036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bj, I really like this look and am wondering if the middle layer was a bit textured if it would help to minimize the pieces moving. &nbsp;I thought of this because I have a tank that seems to almost cling to other items. &nbsp;Normally that isn't a great characteristic in clothes but for this type of layering it could solve the problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-belted-cardi#post-1375031 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:29:33 +0000 jackiec 1375031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great to me, but I totally get it on the fussy shifting factor. Drives me bananas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-belted-cardi#post-1375022 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:19:48 +0000 bj1111 1375022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Claire, yup, a longer cardigan would have worked better. &nbsp;this exercise was more to take an existing piece and try to update it. &nbsp;from that standpoint it was a success. &nbsp;all pieces were old to super-old except for the ssif booties.</p> <p>@Angie, i liked it best with the shirt open and creating another vertical line but the shirt and the sweater independently&nbsp;kept slipping more open unless i really tightened the belt which introduced bunchiness. &nbsp;also by the end of the day, the belt felt snug due to the traveling pooch (another post subject!) &nbsp;i really like the idea, the tugging and adjusting was a bit annoying (and drafty). &nbsp;i will try to&nbsp;revisit with a different shirt or underlayer...i do have a pile of other orphans i'm trying to update.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-belted-cardi#post-1374944 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 14:04:08 +0000 Angie 1374944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous. Did the layers&nbsp;stay in place? Why will you not be repeating - did the combination&nbsp;feel off?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-belted-cardi#post-1374943 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 14:00:35 +0000 Anonymous 1374943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You were ahead of the curve! I like the lines created by the open shirt, it's an interesting look. Have you figured out what made you feel ambivalent about it? I imagine you copied the pin exactly, but maybe you'd like it better with a long cardigan? Just an idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-belted-cardi#post-1374937 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 13:46:42 +0000 bj1111 1374937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>from two weekends ago. &nbsp;living the "get dressed everyday" dream. &nbsp;inspired by an angie pin. &nbsp;trying to update a grandpa cardigan.</p> <p>not superfab. &nbsp;comfy for a day. &nbsp;unlikely to repeat.</p>
