Did you try the sweater at Oasis? <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breton-stripes-and-layering#post-883385 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 19:55:22 +0000 Ingunn 883385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm late here, but this is a classic outfit combination that should be repeated. You look fab both with the blazer (my fav) and the cardigan. I love the breton, it is really pretty, and suits you so well. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breton-stripes-and-layering#post-883373 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 19:31:22 +0000 harmonica 883373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you Ceit, Shevia, Sara L, Shannon, Carole, Kellygirl and Tina b!<br /><br />I ended up wearing the cardi in my office and the blazer when meeting colleges, a happy combo. I'll keep the knit on knit in mind because that was really useful info and made me more aware of comfort and fit :-)<br /><br />Tina - the sweater is actually navy blue/red and the pencil is black. The quality of the pic's are poor, I know<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breton-stripes-and-layering#post-883264 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:38:24 +0000 Tina.b 883264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Just love this paired with the blazer. It is great how the colour in the striped shirt matches the skirt. Great outfit! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breton-stripes-and-layering#post-883072 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 14:42:05 +0000 kellygirl 883072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love it both ways. I think the blazer definitely reads more polished but I love the casual polished feel of the cardi. The length of the cardi is fun! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breton-stripes-and-layering#post-883070 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 14:39:25 +0000 Carole 883070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Such a versatile and stylish top! I think I have a preference for the blazer but both are fab! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breton-stripes-and-layering#post-883022 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 13:56:55 +0000 Transcona Shannon 883022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the version in #4 with the blazer. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breton-stripes-and-layering#post-882994 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 13:30:19 +0000 Sara L. 882994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great sweater!&nbsp; I prefer it with the blazer.&nbsp; I have the same problem as jlsloane with knit on knit - too sticky for me to get everything to lay flat. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breton-stripes-and-layering#post-882981 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 13:20:39 +0000 Jaime 882981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like it with the blazer - great striped sweater! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breton-stripes-and-layering#post-882863 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:14:14 +0000 Anonymous 882863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My vote is for with the blazer. Looks good -- the striped shirt is great. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breton-stripes-and-layering#post-882860 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:10:56 +0000 harmonica 882860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Jjsloane and Ramya! <br /><br />I see what you mean with knit on knit. I haven't put it into words like you, but have very often grabbed a cardi and then changed to another topper. Yes, they do stick to each other, especially when the top is not very bodycon<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breton-stripes-and-layering#post-882853 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:06:25 +0000 ramya 882853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Both look great to me... But they are different on vibes...<br /><br />Harmonica but that is 1 fab tee so versatile!!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breton-stripes-and-layering#post-882849 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 09:58:32 +0000 Jjsloane 882849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like both the cardi and blazer, but have a slight preference for the blazer. The cardi doesn't look sloppy, but definitely more casual than the more structured blazer. I struggle with knit on knit especially in winter when they stick to each other.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-breton-stripes-and-layering#post-882842 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 09:47:55 +0000 harmonica 882842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ First time wearing the breton tee from <a href="http://www.oasis-stores.com///fcp-product/3190352360" rel="nofollow">Oasis </a>It is really soft and comfy and I love how the golden buttons on the shoulders make it less casual.<br /><br />I needed layering because of cold temperature (-8C / 17F) that will rise during the day (0C/32F). I layered with an almost cropped black cardi and my black blazer. I like how the cardi is shorter in the back #3, but I'm not so sure about cardi and tee in general. Is it too sloppy? The blazer and tee seems to hit at the same length and I wonder if it would be better with a shorter or longer topper?<br /><br />Breton tee (Oasis)<br />Black pencil (Ann Taylor)<br />Black tights<br />Booties<br />Cardi<br />Blazer<br />Bird necklace<br />Vintage cross-body bag<br /><br />Thanks for looking!<br />
