I gave up on my denim skirt because is always rode up no matter if I wore tights or not. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oversized-sweater-2#post-1112197 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:26:57 +0000 Deborah 1112197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon while you do look lovely, my first impression was they the sweater is too big. I would be inclined to keep it for casual and to wear with a skinny / slim leg jeans and create a slightly rate look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oversized-sweater-2#post-1112195 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:24:50 +0000 catgirl 1112195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you know what I'm going to say -&nbsp; I think it's perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oversized-sweater-2#post-1112192 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 20:23:00 +0000 Marley 1112192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your red puffer just makes me smile - and it looks so much like your personality - a LOT of fun!&nbsp; I really like your outfit too - such a nice/dressy looking denim skirt!&nbsp; However, I think the sweater is too big on you.&nbsp; I <i>love</i> oversized and slouchy - but this, I think, is more than that.&nbsp; When I began looking at the pics - every picture I looked at made me think that it was too big - but then, when I got to Pic #4 - I was absolutely positive.&nbsp; It just looks to me like a sweater that you wore when you were a larger size, and now that you are smaller you don't realize just how much smaller you are, and so you are still wearing your "bigger" clothes - does that make sense?<i></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oversized-sweater-2#post-1111912 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 15:13:42 +0000 Elizabeth P 1111912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is on the verge of being too big, but it works for now.&nbsp; As mentioned above, it looks intentional.</p> <p>Funny, if I'm doing an office clean up, I'd never wear a skirt.&nbsp; Not that they aren't comfy, it just wouldn't cross my mind.&nbsp; Hmm.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oversized-sweater-2#post-1111893 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 14:53:44 +0000 Susie 1111893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love slouchy sweaters so to me it looks fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oversized-sweater-2#post-1111888 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 14:50:23 +0000 Sara L. 1111888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks intentional because the shoulders and neckline fits.&nbsp; I love that sweater and would be sad if you had to let it go.</p> <p>Suz - I wear a slip with almost all outfits with tights, even denim skirts, to prevent the skirt and tights from sticking together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oversized-sweater-2#post-1111883 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 14:46:11 +0000 Beth Ann 1111883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brrrrrr!&nbsp; This sweater looks marvelous with the sweater.&nbsp; I love it.&nbsp; The sweater is at the edge of workable, I think, but I'd still wear it.&nbsp; </p> <p>I do have some friends who thrift who have deliberately shrunk too-large sweaters.&nbsp; They did something like this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.stylestudio360.com/index.php/how-to-shrink-a-wool-sweater-2-9901/" rel="nofollow">http://www.stylestudio360.com/.....er-2-9901/</a></p> <p>Stay warm, dear Shannon!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oversized-sweater-2#post-1111840 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 14:06:08 +0000 Janet 1111840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, your pictures always make me smile.

And I love this sweater, as you know. It's great with the lighter bag for a punch of winter white. (Note to self: need light bag).&nbsp;</p> <p>So a question. When I wore my denim skirt with tights the other day, it kept sort of sticking, twisting and riding up a bit. How do you prevent that? When I am not wearing tights it doesn't happen.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oversized-sweater-2#post-1111797 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 13:18:16 +0000 lyn67 1111797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect for the day! I like the drape, but would like to see&nbsp; a somehow tighter wave on&nbsp;the low hem,&nbsp;but not an expert, of course.&nbsp;I think is all about comfyness-and&nbsp;would die to see this&nbsp;IRL (in motion).&nbsp; Congrats for your new job, Shannon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oversized-sweater-2#post-1111795 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 13:16:03 +0000 Jaime 1111795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good to me shrinking Shannon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oversized-sweater-2#post-1111788 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 13:10:23 +0000 El Cee 1111788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look chic and cozy. Agreeing with Ceit that the size of the sweater looks intentional. The knee-high boots are a good choice for footwear. They look great with this outfit.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oversized-sweater-2#post-1111771 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 12:42:34 +0000 donnat 1111771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lookin terrific!

I rather like the way the hem dips at the sides and&nbsp;I love the way the bag, and of course your gloves and scarf pick out the white and add a lightness to brighten these dark winter days. I think you look smashing Shannon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oversized-sweater-2#post-1111763 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 12:18:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1111763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I'm working on cleaning up some files in my soon-to-be past job so comfy and casual was the dress code for the day.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's still cold as heck out so started the outfit with these thick and warm tights topped with my dark denim pencil skirt. Added to that, I went with this merino wool striped oversized sweater. This sweater was oversized last year, but this winter is seriously so - see how it's just a large square? But it drapes nicely and works well to debombshell a pencil skirt.&nbsp;</p> <p>I chose my knee high flat boots for footwear 'cause my sprained ankle has been bugging me a bit with the high heels I've been wearing and am giving it a break today. My large cream handbag finishes off the outfit, picking up the white stripe in the sweater.</p> <p>When I head out the door, I'll be wearing my red puffer coat with white scarf and gloves - toasty warm.</p> <p>So what do you think of this ensemble? does it work? is the sweater&nbsp;<i></i><i>too</i> oversized looking or can I still wear it? As alway, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Sweater: Lord &amp; Taylor<br />Pencil skirt: Revolutions (thrifted)<br />Tights: Hue<br />Boots: Blondo<br />Handbag: Danier Leather<br />Puffer: Lands End</p>
