And that sweater - wow! I can't imagine being that talented. What a lucky little baby. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-planned-outfit-2-and-life-imitates-craft#post-700763 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 02:10:50 +0000 Krista 700763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia - I am definitely thinking that the shoes were picked up as a result of knitting the sweater. The sweater's been in process for a few weeks, and I really loved the colorway of the yarn, so I think I was a goner from the second I tried on those shoes. It was pre-destined! :)</p> <p>Suz - I definitely love color. Neutrals are fine sometimes, but they don't make me as happy as color does! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-planned-outfit-2-and-life-imitates-craft#post-700736 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 01:35:38 +0000 Suz 700736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are lovely. The skirt is so fresh looking! And what a gorgeous little cardigan! So funny that it is similar to your new shoes. I think you must truly be a lover of colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-planned-outfit-2-and-life-imitates-craft#post-700733 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 01:32:08 +0000 Jaime 700733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in #1, and I think #2 would have worked also. The shoe/sweater match is so funny - I wonder if you were attracted to the shoes because of the sweater? I do love both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-planned-outfit-2-and-life-imitates-craft#post-700728 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 01:27:40 +0000 Krista 700728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! I'm soaking up all of the feedback.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-planned-outfit-2-and-life-imitates-craft#post-700584 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 23:33:15 +0000 Angie 700584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great outfit in #1, and #2 is lovely too! </p> <p>You are so clever to have knitted that beautiful little cardigan </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-planned-outfit-2-and-life-imitates-craft#post-700553 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 22:32:51 +0000 Jjsloane 700553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful sweater you made! Your outfit is great too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-planned-outfit-2-and-life-imitates-craft#post-700543 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 22:25:39 +0000 catgirl 700543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty floral skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-planned-outfit-2-and-life-imitates-craft#post-700534 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 22:04:36 +0000 Anonymous 700534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the darker denim with the florals! Good change. And that is a lovely sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-planned-outfit-2-and-life-imitates-craft#post-700526 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 21:46:03 +0000 Krista 700526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, JR - for your kind comments on both the outfit and the sweater. </p> <p>I am already back at school preparing.... but yes, I always count down to start-up. It's exciting to see how much the kids have grown over the summer, even if they are 17 years old! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-planned-outfit-2-and-life-imitates-craft#post-700506 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 21:18:02 +0000 JR 700506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I like! I have been dreaming of a floral skirt, but couldn't find one this summer. Hopefully they will still be big next year.</p> <p>Love the knitted sweater too! What a lovely gift to give, both handmade and unique. Too funny about it matching the shoes. I guess we know what has been tugging at your heartstrings lately.</p> <p>Counting down the days till school? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-planned-outfit-2-and-life-imitates-craft#post-700458 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 20:24:41 +0000 Krista 700458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another stress-less day of getting dressed. This planning thing is really working for me!</p> <p>Pic1: WIW today for baby shower with friends (tweaked the plan, of course!)</p> <p>Denim Jacket - Talbots<br /> Purple Tank - Laura Petites<br /> Floral Skirt - Laura Petites<br /> Black Peep-toe Wedge Shoes - Shoe Company<br /> Purse - Winners (about 10 years ago!)<br /> Watch - Tommy Hilfiger</p> <p>Pic #2 - What was planned and why I changed it<br /> - I felt like the white denim jacket was too much white, and I like how the regular denim jacket picked up the blue tones in the skirt<br /> - I decided to walk the 7 blocks to the baby shower and thought that my red flats were a little too shoddy looking and the peep-toe wedges would be okay for the walk. Well, I should've worn the flats; my feet were killing me by the time I got there!</p> <p>Pic #3 - Baby gift and new shoes<br /> I bought these shoes yesterday and last night I wore them around the house to break them in a little. As I was finishing knitting up this sweater, I looked down and saw that the colors in the sweater are the EXACT SAME as the colors in my new shoes. I have no idea how that happened!
