But then I like the color, and have no idea which shades look best, don't look best, and I'm wearing it today myself :) I like the coat unzipped all the way, and those sweatpant jeans are fantastic.

Love the sweater and the way it swings out. You look great in the grey tones and super cute in the beanie.

And I'm all over freakishly spindly arms if one can fool everyone that way  And printed sweat pant jeans?  Whatever those are, I'm intrigued. Not sure I have the body for them, but if I did , I'd be all over it.  Anyways, you look super cute, and I think all pieces here work perfectly together ! columbine(erin) on "WiW: Grey Out" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-out#post-1408001 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 04:22:01 +0000 columbine(erin) 1408001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the drape and swing created by unzipping the sweater. It looks great on you. I'd probably also take it as a compliment if someone said it made my arms look spindly, lol.  Firecracker (Sharan) on "WiW: Grey Out" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-out#post-1407988 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 04:02:22 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1407988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look beautiful in this outfit, Shiny. I think the scarf and boots really finish the outfit. The top is amazing--I would love to have something like that! I like it un-zipped both ways--partly and all the way. So fun and versatile! Cute puffer and beanie, too, and the tan or cognac bag is a classic touch.

Yes! Love the top!! I have the PJ jeans and love them too - although I seem to wear them much more in warmer weather for some reason. Perfect casual outfit! shiny on "WiW: Grey Out" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-out#post-1407879 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 01:39:35 +0000 shiny 1407879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Angie! The beanie is Club Monaco, I picked it up when I bought the two sparkly tops. Last year's (white/cream) beanie was also from there. I've been wanting to add a beanie in a color other than white (my usual standby) or black for a long while. This shade of grey seemed perfect -- for all my coats. And it's super warm (not acrylic).  The blue booties... I bought these a couple years ago when I duplicated - I have the same pair in black (wear constantly) and leopard. So comfy. I wear the blue suede the least. I am trying to find more ways to wear them.  Angie on "WiW: Grey Out" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-out#post-1407874 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 01:26:55 +0000 Angie 1407874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look killer, Jennifer. I love the addition of the blue boots, and the patterned scarf that lifts all the grey.  And you are adorable in that cabled beanie. I like the way your hair peeks through from under it.  shiny on "WiW: Grey Out" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-out#post-1407836 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 00:41:37 +0000 shiny 1407836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Uh oh...  <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.rag-bone.com/womens-pants/l/184">http://www.rag-bone.com/womens-pants/l/184</a> catgirl on "WiW: Grey Out" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-out#post-1407834 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 00:40:03 +0000 catgirl 1407834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They are the dark wash - I feel like these have to have some unusual detail to make the photo print work, so a couple of washes didn't work for me (the black). I love the top and thinks it's fun however you want to wear it, now that I can see the details on the site.maybe zipped more with a baggy butt, and looser with skinnies? Argh, why did you show me the grey ones?!

It's not the Sheffield, nor the first one.  Oh my.. the Sheffield... show me yours? Maybe I need a second pair!  shiny on "WiW: Grey Out" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-out#post-1407827 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 00:35:36 +0000 shiny 1407827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Suz. It's hard to see my own back view. DH said it buckles a little funny unless I unzip it much higher. He prefers it unzipped nearly or all the way. More swingy that way for sure.  catgirl on "WiW: Grey Out" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-out#post-1407825 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 00:34:47 +0000 catgirl 1407825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree, they are so fab.  Which wash is this?  I have two now, the Sheffield and whatever the first one was.  shiny on "WiW: Grey Out" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-out#post-1407821 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 00:32:44 +0000 shiny 1407821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Here you go AG -  <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.anntaylor.com/back-zip-pleat-top/345029?colorExplode=false&skuId=17643634&catid=cat70008&productPageType=fullPriceProducts&defaultColor=8865"><a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/back-zip-pleat-top/345029?colorExplode=false&skuId=17643634&catid=cat70008&amp" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylor.com/back-.....8&amp</a>;</a> I'm wearing the sweat pant jeans once a week - I can't wait until Sunday rolls around to wear them again. HA. I could live in these. So comfy. And have fooled so many people, who think they are jeans. It also heartens me because it makes me feel more positive that I could actually one of these days find drapey trousers that would work for me. I don't know if it's the strategically placed printing, or if it's the slimmer cut in the legs, or what.  Suz on "WiW: Grey Out" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-out#post-1407820 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 00:32:43 +0000 Suz 1407820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Are you kidding? You look spectacular in the grey. I LOVE greyout and am feeling entirely inspired by you.  I love the top and I think I like it zipped/ unzipped at various levels. It's a lot of fun! beautiful scarf, too.  catgirl on "WiW: Grey Out" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-out#post-1407818 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 00:28:45 +0000 catgirl 1407818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the top!  And I love the spindly arm look to balance a loose torso.   It's hard to see exactly what's going on from these angles though.  Do you have a link to show how the top is worn by a model?  As far as I'm concerned, there can't be too much grey.  So glad to see you're loving the sweatpant jeans too.  shiny on "WiW: Grey Out" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-out#post-1407815 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 00:25:30 +0000 shiny 1407815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I was going to wait and post a weeks' worth of WiW together, but inspired by Thistle's "Be Gone Grey" post, TorontoGirl's "Musings from the SAHM Front" and other posts today, I submit to you - WiW yesterday: GREY OUT! Scarf: BR (last year) Top: Ann Taylor (new) Bottoms: Printed Sweat pant jeans  Bag: Coach Puffer: MK Booties: Impo  It's a LOT of grey, isn't it? That's why I went with blue suede booties. Still too much grey? Does this shade of grey work for me?  I also have questions about the top:  The top is new, I bought it a few weeks back, thinking it would be perfect for work/ business travel. For a knit, it is surprisingly warm, so this is the first debut. I decided to dress it down for Sunday casual, with the printed sweat pant jeans. I found it to be incredibly comfortable. And toasty. The question is -- how is a top like this supposed to be zipped in the back??? I had it zipped lower as in pic 2, before we went out. I couldn't get a good pic of the back, with my new selfie friend, because I have to twist around. I didn't like the rear view, but I figured it was the twisting I had to do to get a photo. Then later when we came back home for the day, DH entertained me and took some rear view pics, including 4-5-6-7. I realized from his later pics that it looks better unzipped nearly all the way? Do you agree? It changes the line a bit in the front though. But doesn't look lumpy in the upper back (did I mention when I gain weight, I gain it first in my upper body, including my back???). What do you think?  I will have to add DH isn't crazy about this top. I thought he'd say because it shows no waist or shape. But instead, his specific critique was "it makes you look like you have freakishly spindly arms." I actually *like* that and consider it a major feature, when the rest of the top is worn loose and oversize. Fashion mavens, you be the judge.... (incidentally this has a crew neckline which my eye is adapting to for work purposes. I have no pics without the scarf, which I kept on the whole day, inside and out). The MK puffer is also new. I've given up all hope on finding a new wool coat this year, so I spent my coat budget on a short puffer instead. Short enough it works for an airplane or car ride (aka taxi). This is packable puffer, so it packs down into a tiny bag. It is not going to be warm enough for deepest darkest winter here, but perfectly toasty for my southern winter business travel, which was the goal.  To TorontoGirl: if I was a SAHM today, I'd totally embrace an outfit like this for every day. Except with more practical lower heeled booties than shown here.
