Everyone else has perfect ideas to try, so nothing to add except congratulations on the house and good luck with the packing!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-and-happy#post-1276300 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 13:39:03 +0000 jackiec 1276300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations!!!</p> <p>I agree with the comments already posted. I, too, find waterfall cardigans tricky. A tonal look, or a super skinny bottom like a tube skirt might do the trick. It does, however, look like a nice cozy piece to throw on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-and-happy#post-1276296 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 13:37:27 +0000 celia 1276296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! Great news on the house.<br />I love the idea of pairing the cardigan with something white, I would never would have taught about it.<br />I do like the outfit and think it looks cool if you let the cardigan fall as it wants instead of trying to show the draping(I had the same problem with my drapey vest some days ago.).For me drapey clothes is all about the movement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-and-happy#post-1276277 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 13:08:33 +0000 bella 1276277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I just read Aida's comment and she seems to have the same idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-and-happy#post-1276276 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 13:07:32 +0000 bella 1276276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe you need to layer it over something white?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-and-happy#post-1276250 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 12:31:50 +0000 Anonymous 1276250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay on the house!</p> <p>I like the shape of the cardigan and think the slim jeans and navy tee&nbsp;are a great combo with it, but am wondering if it's a little big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-and-happy#post-1276193 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 09:57:59 +0000 Karie 1276193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, congrats on the house! <br />I find these cardis difficult to wear. I think it's just all that fabric. I'd try adding a belt to reign it in and try wearing it with a tube/slim skirt or skinny/cigarette pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-and-happy#post-1276179 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 08:39:06 +0000 Ledonna N. 1276179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A wide thick belt would tone down dome of the volume. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-and-happy#post-1275923 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 00:48:44 +0000 pil 1275923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on the house! Sounds like Sara and Aida have you sorted on the cardi. It's such a nice piece I hope you can style it more to your liking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-and-happy#post-1275843 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 23:33:34 +0000 Aida 1275843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you're onto something with the slim lower half, but I think the volume could be nicely mitigated to something that looks more purposefully architectural if you wore an entirely light, tonal, or low contrast base beneath it. Also love Sara's idea of a tube skirt, since the extra skin would add some structure to the volume (you whould also push up the cardi sleeves with that outfit). It's got potential! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-and-happy#post-1275654 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 20:07:59 +0000 Sara L. 1275654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I feel the same way about a lot of waterfall cardigans - just too much fabric.&nbsp; I'm not sure how to fix the problem though.&nbsp; Maybe others will have some suggestions.&nbsp; The white linen seems like it could be interesting and fun for the summer.&nbsp; Maybe over slimmer bottoms?&nbsp; Like&nbsp;a tube skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-and-happy#post-1275642 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 19:58:48 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1275642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just found out that all the appraisal and bank stuff with our house offer went through as planned, so we will be getting keys soon! I have so much more packing to do...</p> <p>In principle I like this white linen waterfall cardigan, but in practice I don't end up wearing it that much. I feel like it overwhelms me even though I'm not a small person. What do y'all think; is there any way to style it successfully?</p> <p>Tee and jeans, Old Navy; shoes, Born; cardigan, Isda &amp; Co. </p>
