It's got a very pinterest-y vibe to it, if you know what i mean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1347074 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 14:53:19 +0000 Catnip 1347074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, this is a gorgeous outfit.&nbsp; The combination of colors is sophisticated and suits your coloring well.&nbsp; I love the proportions, and have noticed that long cardigans seem to be in for fall.&nbsp; </p> <p>Regarding the length of the pants, everyone is wearing this look now here in New York.&nbsp; I don't really like it, but am wearing it because it has been impossible to find summer pants that are full length.&nbsp; I'm hoping that full length pants will be available for winter because without them we will freeze.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1347061 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 14:44:08 +0000 catgirl 1347061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wearing a grey cardi of very similar proportions (although with an uneven hem) - so big yay from me!&nbsp; You always look so put-together and serene! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1347060 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 14:42:40 +0000 Sheila 1347060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these long cardi's ! It looks great on you ! I have seen this similar length at Woolovers as well but have not purchased. The whole outfit is great ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1347015 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 14:02:19 +0000 carambola 1347015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you look so elegant. The cardi is fantastic and the cognac shoes and bag are gorgeous with your hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345706 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 01:18:19 +0000 Sal 1345706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, stunning cardigan, that will be so incredibly versatile. &nbsp;I also like the colour very much.</p> <p>I actually like the pants length as is, I can imagine rolling them in summer but to me with a wool topper I like them a little longer.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345674 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 00:49:19 +0000 Angie 1345674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No one is breaking an "Angie Rule" if you're having fun with fashion. xo</p> <p>Ingunn, shoes with dark&nbsp;ankle straps are another way to add length to the pants, if you know what I mean. Your black booties sound perfect. Thanks for always being so gracious. YOU are a gem.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345618 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 23:48:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1345618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit is beautiful on you! The long cardigan is an exciting find. It looks so chic and relaxed in this outfit and will work in so many ways, as you've mentioned. Great investment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345494 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 21:25:10 +0000 shiny 1345494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345481 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 21:06:53 +0000 viva 1345481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha Lisa, we really are the same person. I would have worn the pants like this too, except I would have known I am breaking an Angie rule. </p> <p>Love this long cardigan on you, Ingunn. It's so flattering -- can't wait to see it morph into a dress.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345462 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 20:27:55 +0000 Anonymous 1345462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely sweater- looks great on you, and I really like the idea of it as a dress too - fantastic! Colour, fit- it is all perfect. I am freaking out a bit trying to figure out what Angie is talking about regarding your pants length. She mentions them as not being tapered - yet they look it to me! &nbsp;And, I think I would have worn them exactly as you have here . &nbsp;Rolling them would make them pretty short , no? &nbsp;But I like to follow her tips and make sure I'm getting it right ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345409 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 18:54:14 +0000 Ingunn 1345409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, abc! I have discovered that I need some structure to my outfits to be happy in them. It used to be waist definition, but that has changed. Now I can handle waist surrendering as long as the structure is somewhere else instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345249 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 15:04:31 +0000 abc 1345249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cardi is great. &nbsp;I have recently discovered exactly what you mentioned - I need structure at the shoulder line but like items that have a bit of flow to them / skim the body and couldn't agree more about the pocket situation.</p> <p>As always you are an inspiration.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345230 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 14:39:45 +0000 Ingunn 1345230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Neel! I completely agree.</p> <p>Angie, thank you! I knew there was something bugging me about this outfit, and now I think I get it. The trousers are not the best choice with these shoes and the long cardigan. I have a slimmer pair of black pants with full length that I think will be better. Alternatively, I could add a pair of heeled black booties, but then I need my cognac belt which still is on order.&nbsp;I appreciate your feedback, it helped me see what I can tweak. You're a gem </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345220 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 14:28:07 +0000 Angie 1345220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the cognac accents. They look sooooo fresh. And the palette is just gorgeous. Long cardi is gorgeous.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ingunn, I have poison eye for trousers that length with hems that do not taper (and worn sans high vamped booties), so I desperately want to roll the hems of your pants for structure which also&nbsp;shortens the length because you're wearing them with&nbsp;&nbsp;flat oxfords. But as I mentioned -&nbsp;&nbsp;that's my own poison eye. The way you're wearing the pants now is actually very fashionable. xo</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345203 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 14:07:55 +0000 Neel 1345203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that cardigan is lovely on you. I also understand what you mean by blue gray. That is the only gray that doesn't look ugly on me! I bought a similar colored sweater too ^_^</p> <p>I really need to learn how to get the proportions right with longer jackets and flats. I always feel stumpy in it. I am inspired by your outfit :). The colors are beautiful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345194 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 13:57:51 +0000 Ingunn 1345194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, I'm thrilled that you think so. </p> <p>The grey is on the blueish side, like you noted Glory,&nbsp;which I have found is important to me. Medium to light grey with blue undertones is what I prefer for my neutrals.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345193 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 13:57:49 +0000 Urbanfae 1345193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an amazing cardi! Love the color. I'd love to see a pic of it being used as a dress with a fab pair of booties. I may have to adjust my own to buy list and grab one of these for myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345174 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 13:37:19 +0000 rute 1345174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! just added to my favorites! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345171 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 13:35:20 +0000 jackiec 1345171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, this is a beautiful silhouette on you! I love the blue/grey/cognac combination - you nailed Angie's ensemble !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345163 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 13:22:23 +0000 Jaime 1345163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic combination. I really love the cognac shoes and bag here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345157 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 13:17:52 +0000 Glory 1345157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a great addition. I love the length, versatility and the colour choice. The blue is like a heathered blue and I think it will work with many of your wardrobe items. It can be dressed up but equally good for working at home!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345156 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 13:17:48 +0000 lyn67 1345156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it and consider it a brilliant ideea to have double/triple functions!(dress, cardi, indulation). Great color, and great&nbsp;outfi, so rich with the cognac accents! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345154 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 13:12:40 +0000 Ingunn 1345154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Diane and tex! The cardigan hits me right at my knees. Another important point for me was that it's fitted in the shoulders and shaped to follow the silhouette of the body without clinging. The lower part flares out a bit, but just enough. And no pockets, too, which almost all the other cardigans I looked at was having. I didn't want that bulk on my hips when belting it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345151 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 13:06:26 +0000 texstyle 1345151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a great choice!&nbsp; The proportions look good to me, seems to be just over the top of the knee, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345140 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 12:47:59 +0000 Anonymous 1345140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely, I like the cardigan! I like the proportions too and the cognac shoes and back are fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-cognac-black-grey#post-1345136 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 12:42:06 +0000 Ingunn 1345136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fall shopping is coming together now that I know what to save and splurge on. Today's outfit is built around a new, extra long cardigan in merino wool&nbsp;that can double as a dress when winter hits. Right now, it is a perfect layer in the morning and evening, and I can see it serving so many purposes in my wardrobe through fall and winter. It can work as extra insulation under my trench and coat, and it covers wide skirts beautifully, so layering will become easier. It is super soft, very thin, and of a wonderful quality. It was expensive, but I'm sure I will be wearing it twice a week for months to come. It will be wonderful for traveling, too, as a "blanket".&nbsp;</p> <p>I drew inspiration from the "ink, brown, grey and black" ensemble and put together a navy v-neck tee, black cropped trousers, the grey cardigan and cognac oxfords and messenger bag.&nbsp;</p> <p>#1 Today's outfit<br />#2 The cardigan comes with a self belt that makes it double as a wrap dress</p> <p>What do you think? Are the proportions ok?&nbsp;Was this cardigan a good choice for me? This is not a K/R post, so I hope you will support my decision. Thanks for looking! All thoughts are much appreciated. </p> <p>ETA: Here's a link to the cardigan if anyone is interested. It's from Mette Møller, a Norwegian designer. They ship internationally - just ask.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mettemoller.no/productdetail.ashx?productid=830&amp;navId=6">http://www.mettemoller.no/prod.....38;navId=6</a></p>
