That's too bad about the pilling. I wish there was some way to tell which sweaters are going to pill and which aren't. Is it fabric content?

Oversize polka dots add fun to a more classic silhouette.&nbsp;Me too, loving the boots. What are they?&nbsp;</p> <p>I am with you about the weather. Ugh. Can't wait for it to clear out a little. Skirts are waiting in my closet.

Your boots are just fab, and these soft colors look great on you. I, too, wonder if you would prefer a slightly smaller-scale print in your sweater? I hope your mouth heals quickly and painlessly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pilly-over-boxy-and-skirt-in-solidarity-with-sveta/page/2#post-1185186 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 15:34:16 +0000 Eliza 1185186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice look, Suz. &nbsp;I hope that your dental work goes smoothly. &nbsp;Always nice when that is over.</p> <p>I don't have that sweater, but pilling is so aggravating. &nbsp;It does impact whether or not one can keep an item. &nbsp;It is most irksome on some of the more expensive knits, as others have noted, higher cost doesn't always lead to remedying this. &nbsp;Just sympathizing without a solution. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pilly-over-boxy-and-skirt-in-solidarity-with-sveta/page/2#post-1185173 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 15:10:49 +0000 Lisa 1185173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear about the dentist and the pilling.&nbsp; I have a very low tolerance for pilling on knits and will toss items at the first littlest sign, especially when a sweater comb doesn't help it.&nbsp; So frustrating!&nbsp; The outfit is lovely, all of this dress and skirt talk has me debating putting one on my fall/winter shopping list next year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pilly-over-boxy-and-skirt-in-solidarity-with-sveta/page/2#post-1185158 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:41:26 +0000 Helena 1185158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, that is a great outfit!

My gap cream sweater has not pilled or been itchy and has had a lot of wear this cold winter, but the navy version is different and itchy. I bought an inexpensive F21 long sleeved tissue weight turtleneck solely for wearing under it.<br /> Since reading that cutting the pills off is best, I've been using a small very sharp scissors to trim them off sweaters. New pills don't seem to form as fast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pilly-over-boxy-and-skirt-in-solidarity-with-sveta/page/2#post-1185135 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:26:17 +0000 Suz 1185135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, you're right Beth Ann. Although this sweater was inexpensive and is a wool/ cashmere blend. It seems worse with the blends.&nbsp;</p> <p>Claire, thank you. The boots are amazing. So comfortable.&nbsp;They've had so few wears this year. It's not that I am babying them (after all -- they are all weather boots) -- but I just can't go out in them on sheer ice or in deep slush, or when I am tromping across a field of snow. So they've had far less wear this year than they would in a typical freeze/ thaw style winter here. Ah well.&nbsp;</p> <p>On the positive side, you're right -- this sweater earned its CPW this year and I also wore the black La Canadienne boots enough to make them worth the $$ spent.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pilly-over-boxy-and-skirt-in-solidarity-with-sveta/page/2#post-1185130 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:21:37 +0000 Beth Ann 1185130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, that's the way to brighten winter!&nbsp; I like the color palette in the sweater, which is surprising, since I, like DayVies, am generally a high contrast girl and this palette wouldn't work on me at all.&nbsp; Perhaps I'm drawn to things that I can't wear when I see them work on others?</p> <p>I'm particularly fond of a bit of pink in winter!</p> <p>Pilling is driving me crazy, too.&nbsp; And it has little to do with price, which is even more maddening </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pilly-over-boxy-and-skirt-in-solidarity-with-sveta/page/2#post-1185123 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 14:13:55 +0000 Anonymous 1185123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boots! The boots! (Sorry, I couldn't contain myself.)<br />What a fab outfit for a trip out in the car. I love that skirt on you, and so sorry about the pills. I'm sure you've gotten tons of wear out of it for your money this winter in any case. Interesting about the roundness of the dots...I think I hear Kibbe talking! Hope you are healing up well from your extraction. Have some chicken noodle soup on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pilly-over-boxy-and-skirt-in-solidarity-with-sveta#post-1185107 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 13:44:21 +0000 Anonymous 1185107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry about the pilling and the dentistry, but it's nice to see you in a skirt and those lovely boots! I think the sweater looks great on you, and kind of like the unexpectedness of the graphic print in softer shades. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pilly-over-boxy-and-skirt-in-solidarity-with-sveta#post-1185103 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 13:36:41 +0000 Sona 1185103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>your skirt look is just the pill the doctor ordered for snowy weather!</p> <p>* wait was that a bad pun?*</p> <p>*grins*</p> <p>:)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pilly-over-boxy-and-skirt-in-solidarity-with-sveta#post-1185012 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 06:37:35 +0000 Lyn D. 1185012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the soft spots Suz!&nbsp;<br />The dotty ones I see here seem to be all black backgrounds, and rather stark.<br />Commiserations re. your tooth. I had a similar experience last year with a tooth that cracked due to my bite. Root-filling was tried but eventually it had to go :(&nbsp;I hope your mouth heals well- don't forget to start rinsing often after today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pilly-over-boxy-and-skirt-in-solidarity-with-sveta#post-1184970 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 05:16:43 +0000 adorkable 1184970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The combo is fun - and I love your boots!</p> <p>I think I'd also be curious&nbsp;to see the dots either a little smaller or a little lower contrast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pilly-over-boxy-and-skirt-in-solidarity-with-sveta#post-1184884 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 03:48:36 +0000 Suz 1184884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>tee hee, Gracie, that is a perfect prescription!!&nbsp;</p> <p>The extraction was not because of cavities. Complicated story but suffice it to say that it shouldn't show or affect me too much in my chewing and hopefully it will help in the long run.&nbsp;</p> <p>Gigi, you might be right about the size of those dots. Good to ponder. I will probably keep the sweater one more season for wearing more casually.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pilly-over-boxy-and-skirt-in-solidarity-with-sveta#post-1184882 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 03:48:30 +0000 Jaime 1184882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you look good! Extraction sounds no fun, and pilling sounds aggravating. The sweater and tooth should be put behind you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pilly-over-boxy-and-skirt-in-solidarity-with-sveta#post-1184867 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 03:37:49 +0000 Gracie 1184867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely colors, I'm loving the boots and skirt. The sweater is cute but I'm not a fan of large dots in general. Too bad about the pilling, I hope you got quite a few wearings out if it. I hope the procedure went smoothly, and hope that you know that a bit of ice cream is highly healing afterwards </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pilly-over-boxy-and-skirt-in-solidarity-with-sveta#post-1184844 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 03:19:57 +0000 sarah 1184844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blue GAP sweater = major pilling<br />Cream GAP sweater = minor pilling</p> <p>Go figure?&nbsp;</p> <p>My Halogen sweater does have some pilling, but I'm sort of resigned to it. You look fab, though, and I can't see the pilling or the missing tooth from here ; ). Hope you heal up well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pilly-over-boxy-and-skirt-in-solidarity-with-sveta#post-1184813 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 02:56:08 +0000 Gigi 1184813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely combination! I love the color of the skirt and how it matches the gray in the boots. Are those the boots that caused such an uproar at La Canadienne with the color?</p> <p>The pilling sounds irritating. As for the dots, they do look OK on you, but I wonder if the dots are a little too large for you? I'm thinking how in&nbsp;<i>Triumph of Individual Style&nbsp;</i>the authors say to look at your facial features for print scale. I wonder if you stuck with dots that are maybe the size of your eyes or something if that would make you feel more "at home" in a dotted sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pilly-over-boxy-and-skirt-in-solidarity-with-sveta#post-1184810 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 02:52:24 +0000 Dee 1184810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like how the pink in the sweater is drawn out by the red/dark pink of the skirt. It looks really fun for this time of year.</p> <p>The dentist is always the most nerve-wracking medical appointment for me, even when nothing is wrong. I hope everything went well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pilly-over-boxy-and-skirt-in-solidarity-with-sveta#post-1184809 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 02:52:11 +0000 Sveta 1184809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, Suz in skirt - thank you! Extraction - brrr! I hope everything went well...<br />I like this skirt and sweater together - loved it since I saw it in the Nordstrom's fitting room. I actually think that softer colors work really well &nbsp;here where overall effect is based not on the contrast but on harmony.<br />My sweater pills a bit but not too excessively. I think it is fine for another season at least. My Gap oversized sweater is also fine and not itchy at all: I really think the grey one had a different fabrication than the cream one.<br />Thank you for skirt camaraderie!&nbsp; </p>
