Very handy&nbsp; for variety Oh, and I like to think I kind of planned the outfit, but I think there was a bit of serendipity at large&nbsp;too :D</p> <p>Thank you sooo much Shannon!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-plaid-all-over#post-1109100 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 00:57:52 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1109100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Diane - this is one of my favourite outfits of yours EVER! I love everything about it - the pattern with the plaid and the tights, the boots (gorgeous!) picking up the reddish tones in the skirt, the proportions….I could go on and on... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-plaid-all-over#post-1109015 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 23:58:04 +0000 Carla 1109015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is really, really stylish in a subtle way,with every element working. Love that you picked out the wine colour in the skirt for the cardi, and how the boots work without being too matchy. The hose are an inspiration, and add just the right amount of textural interest. This is all either very well thought our, or wonderful serrindipity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-plaid-all-over#post-1108915 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 21:29:13 +0000 E 1108915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful! I love your colour palette and am very impressed with your sewing skills. The asymmetrical buttons add a really neat touch and those booties are perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-plaid-all-over#post-1108888 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 21:02:09 +0000 annagybe 1108888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can I say sassy?

The plaid skirt and cardigan go so well together. The interesting details of the cardigan and a lovely color add to the outfit. And textured hose and burgundy booties are the icing on the cake! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-plaid-all-over#post-1108721 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 17:48:50 +0000 Hil 1108721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So gorgeous Diane!

I made another at the same time which I'll try later this week. I'm really pleased that you like the cardi. I like the fact that the collar drapes a little. On really cold days I can layer over a roll neck sweater and actually open the cardi a little more which creates more of a drape effect.</p> <p>Janet, I do find the Pikolinos really comfy and they're so well made.</p> <p>Claire, I probably will keep this on till about 9pm when I'll pop on my nightwear and robe after a shower. I find skirts to be comfy :)</p> <p>Suz, I guess you're right, it is subtly festive! I'm glad :)</p> <p>Thank you Angie. Ooh, avant guard, I like that! And yes Bilbo likes the softness!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-plaid-all-over#post-1108667 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 15:58:54 +0000 Angie 1108667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty, polished and fun. I have missed your outfits, Diane. A true treat to see you post this morning. Go Team Sew and Wear. Great jumper. A little avant-garde. Bet Bilbo loves it too.&nbsp;xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-plaid-all-over#post-1108665 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 15:54:40 +0000 Suz 1108665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Diane - great to see you again!!

I love the interest that it adds, and the patterned tights, and the booties...to your plaid skirt. I am even more impressed now that I know you put these clothes on in the morning and keep them on all day until it's bedtime! You are one stylish lady and I wanted you to know you've inspired me to put on my real clothes (every day last week!) even if I'm not going anywhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-plaid-all-over#post-1108591 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 14:34:20 +0000 Neel 1108591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt!

Love the color and asymmetrical style of the sweater, and am constantly in admiration for your seamstress skills. I also really like the play of the patterned tights with the plaid and the booties. This may be one of my favorite outfits on you.</p> <p>Pikolinos are so comfortable, aren't they? I have a pair of their boots that I couldn't bear to part with, even though they're not really quite my style anymore, and they're getting a bit worn, so I took them to Texas, where I can still enjoy wearing them to knock around the ranch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-plaid-all-over#post-1108577 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 14:17:07 +0000 LACeleste 1108577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely Diane! &nbsp;Great to see you. &nbsp;It all works so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-plaid-all-over#post-1108562 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 13:34:35 +0000 Jaime 1108562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt and sweater are a great match! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-plaid-all-over#post-1108561 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 13:34:29 +0000 Anonymous 1108561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so impressed that you made that skirt!

I finally had the house to myself and time to take some pics. </p> <p>The skirt is one I made two days ago and the asymmetric fastening cardigan is one I bought about 3 weeks ago. We are having reasonably mild weather at the moment so I went for tights with a bit of sheerness and booties to finish.</p> <p>Comments and suggestions welcome as always. Have a great day.</p> <p>Wine coloured cardigan : White Stuff</p> <p>Plaid skirt : Made by me</p> <p>Tights : Charnos ?</p> <p>Booties : Pikolinos</p>
