The caramel color is definitely flattering. Is it comfy/cozy? If so, perhaps it has a place in a loungewear capsule. I have two "house sweaters" that I keep around for just that purpose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grandpa-sweater#post-1080005 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 15:50:41 +0000 Kristin L 1080005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with you, the cardigan should be a bit longer. Can you keep it as a placeholder until you find the perfect one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grandpa-sweater#post-1079993 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 15:41:24 +0000 amiable 1079993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today's orphan outfit is kind of cheating, &nbsp;But oh well. &nbsp;It's day 15, just so that I can keep count.</p> <p>I'm re-styling the knit button-down from yesterday - I put a wintersilk under it, and thought it actually looked pretty good as the outer layer. But the turtleneck of the wintersilk really looked bad (#5-6). &nbsp;So I added a scarf (#3-4), but then that didn't actually include any orphans, and I have this grandpa cardigan languishing that might go perfectly over it. &nbsp;So I tried it (#1-2).</p> <p>In reality, it's a bit warm for today with the cardigan, so I'll probably spend most of the day without. &nbsp;Which means maybe it's an orphanless orphan day. *sigh*. &nbsp;if I get a chance, I'll change into some an orphan later today.</p> <p>(Worn with my weekend jeans that you all helped me keep last week, and my trusty brown boots. &nbsp;I like these jeans&nbsp;so much they might get worn during "Mom" days too.)</p> <p>I'm inclined to keep the knit buttondown, and only wear it as the outer layer - I like the visual simplicity. &nbsp;(After seeing these pics, I untucked the wintersilk, now it grins evenly). &nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not sure about the grandpa cardigan. &nbsp;It's a yummy carmel color, and I think the color is probably the one shade of beige that works ok on me (sorry for the backlit photos, you probably can't tell anything about the colors). &nbsp;But I wish the cardigan was longer. &nbsp;Should it go? </p>
