I had to look twice to truly believe it's a sweatdress. All your outfits look super comfortable, and you have made great footwear choices, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468711 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 19:00:04 +0000 Debbie 1468711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of the outfits are great. My favorite is the first sweat dress though. Absolutely perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468635 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 14:41:56 +0000 dakotacheryl 1468635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the Sweatdress...and I think the difference in fit through the shoulders in #1 vs #6 is like night and day...perfect alteration...</p> <p>You do indeed look fabulous in these photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468624 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 14:22:05 +0000 Jeweled 1468624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, ooh, #6 and #7/8 are just so wonderful on you!<br />Great long pendant necklace to accent #6.<br />And for #7/8, I think it's a combination of the lighter colors and strong design lines that work so well on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468597 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 11:51:54 +0000 Karie 1468597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW. And that's exactly what I said when I clicked on the pics of that gorgeous dress. I loved the first one you made from the moment I saw it, but the second version is even more beautiful.&nbsp;You certainly know how to handle a needle and thread, girlfriend! Your knowledge of / choice of fabrics and patterns is perfection.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468531 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 03:42:36 +0000 Tanya 1468531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, love that sweaterdress, so cool.&nbsp; The other outfits are amazing as well, especially like the last one.&nbsp; You are such a talented seamstress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468518 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 02:54:30 +0000 jackiec 1468518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow I LOVE 7/8. My absolute fav. Maybe it's the light palette and my craving for warm weather, not that it's been too bad. I love the hemlines of those dresses. Fun to see the same fabric in a top as well. You're so creative!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468505 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 02:39:47 +0000 Jaime 1468505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When are you opening sweatshop :-)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468504 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 02:38:35 +0000 frannieb 1468504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in love with #4 - perfect sporty luxe. &nbsp;The sweater dress is fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468498 Sun, 05 Apr 2015 02:30:33 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1468498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Rabbit. I agree about the navy pants looking more classic than usual and perhaps than my preferred look. And I wasn't crazy about the look, but I wore them down for warmth that day. Now I think I probably could have gone with booties to close the gap and add a little bit of cool to the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468276 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 18:51:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1468276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! You've brightened my day! When I wore the black print dress to work yesterday, I had a few customers who wanted to make one for themselves, so I've created a class for them to make it. </p> <p>Ann, I think the black print sweatshirt is right up your alley--you would wear it well. Joint custody. . . hmmmm, what lovely items of yours would I ask to share in return. You have me thinking, or dreaming I should say.</p> <p>Diane, thank you; I appreciate the comment on versatility--a nice way to look at the differences.</p> <p>Thanks, Staysfit. I like to splurge on shoes, something I don't make! </p> <p>Peri, how sweet! You are right, drapy tops would be possible to custom-make long distance. I'm trying out making a t-shirt for my friend who has knit the wonderful cowls for me. We'll see how that goes. I've made things for her before, and not all have been successes. </p> <p>Angie, wow--thanks! You are the one who has influenced me to include some lighter looks in my wardrobe. </p> <p>Suz, you're so kind. I like the newer sweatdress even more, too. It's even more comfy because it fits better on the shoulders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468272 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 18:43:24 +0000 rabbit 1468272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I particularly love 4/5 &nbsp;and 7/8 &nbsp;just because all the different&nbsp;elements (color and pattern) of the different items&nbsp;work so well together. &nbsp;(I also really like 9/10 but was thinking about the possibility of a&nbsp;slight tweak on the pants -- more rolled to show more ankle? olive? more skinny? I'm not sure&nbsp;-- they just look a little more classic than I associate with your look sometimes.) &nbsp;Your new black sweater dress is awesome too! </p> <p>I also like wearing the same items over in the same week -- I just want to enjoy my new favorites all the time!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468223 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 16:18:26 +0000 Suz 1468223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, #1 is unbelievably great on you! Absolutely gorgeous. I loved the first dress but I love this one even more. I also love the sweatshirt version!!&nbsp;</p> <p>ADORE #7/8 also. Beautiful and so spring-like.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468209 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 15:36:28 +0000 Angie 1468209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hereby crown you Queen Sweat Dress. I'm sure Fabbers are lining up for you to make them one too.&nbsp;</p> <p>I LOVE #1. Wow. Killer look on you, Sharan.&nbsp;</p> <p>#4 is fably Sporty Luxe, and the palette in #7 tickles my toes.&nbsp;</p> <p>You are a gorgeous creature with creative clothing. The End.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468142 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 13:05:36 +0000 Peri 1468142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, add #1 and 4 to my list. :)</p> <p>And you know what, I'm not really joking! I would buy things from you if you ever have time for custom. I know pants would be hard long distance, but loose tops might be do-able? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468135 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 12:21:33 +0000 Staysfit 1468135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! &nbsp;You make the most amazing things Firecracker! &nbsp;I love the dress in 1/2. &nbsp;It looks great and how wonderful that it's comfortable also. &nbsp;Isn't it great when clothes feel as good as they look! &nbsp;You have great variety in your looks and yet they are all clearly your style. &nbsp;You also have one of the best shoe collections I have seen. &nbsp;It's great, I think you do a great job of picking the right shoes to go with what you are wearing. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468114 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 11:18:12 +0000 Anonymous 1468114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1! The sweatshirt in the same fabric is fab too. No wonder you want to keep wearing them. I can imagine the comfort I agree with Caro on the other sweater dress...you're right, perhaps heels may have been better, but It looks more unexpected as is, so no worries. Love the lightness of 7/8 in contrast to the first outfit. It just shows how versatile you are. Great looks Sharan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468061 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 04:54:40 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1468061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress, it looks soooo comfy. My fave (you won't be surprised to hear) is 4/5 with a mostly black with hints of grey color scheme. The cargos are lemming-worthy, the sneaks are super cool and your sweatshirt, well, you should share custody The Bobeau cardigan is in my finds, so more twinsies probably. And yes, I may make ROG my Friday routine. A lot easier than thinking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468058 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 04:50:26 +0000 Caro in Oz 1468058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) The joys of stretchy fabric </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468054 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 04:39:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1468054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all!</p> <p>AM, I prefer the darker outfit, too. I'm trying to lighten up a little--lol!</p> <p>Caro, I agree the proportions don't look so great in 6. That dress is longer than the black and white one, partly because the fabric stretches more, and I did take in a couple of inches at the shoulder on my second one. I think it would have looked better with heels, but I wanted to wear flats, to play the piano. </p> <p>Joy, knits are pretty easy, actually. Most of them, anyway. The blue one was kind of a pain, in fact, because it's very squishy. Soooo soft to wear, though. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468051 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 04:32:27 +0000 Anonymous 1468051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for the new sweater dress in 1/2. I want one. Love the dramatic hemline. I seems that it would be difficult to sew knits. You are an artist with fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468046 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 04:20:55 +0000 Caro in Oz 1468046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the first outfit - the fabric of the dress&nbsp;looks amazing. Something about the contrast with these&nbsp;proportions in #6 is making me pause - but the dress looks grey on my monitor &amp; the leggings look black so......:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468039 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 04:08:32 +0000 AM 1468039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want those sweatshirt dresses! And I love the new top in the same print. These two first outfits are yummy, yummy. Still love the original sweatshirt dress. And 7/8 and&nbsp;9/10 are also great looks but I prefer 9/10. I'm deep into a darkness phase... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-repeats-3-ways#post-1468034 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 04:04:08 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1468034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This week I repeated myself--stylistically--in different ways. Some things are just such favorites, I want to wear them all the time. <br />1. I made another sweatdress, like the one I wore <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweatdress-2-other-outfits" rel="nofollow">here</a>, in a different fabric, and wore it this week. <br />2. I made a top from the same pattern, and from the same fabrics, and wore it this week as well. <br /><i>Truth be told, right now I'd like to make a sweatdress for every day of the week!</i><br />3. I wore the same tee, two days in a row, earlier this week. </p> <p>The outfits:<br />1-3 (worn to work): black and white lacy-floral print knit sweatdress with black trim (made by me); black leggings (Lysse); black flat booties (Munro, Lexie); black woven leather cuff with silver studs; silver pave disc earrings (Lucky).</p> <p>4-5 (worn to work): black slouchy skinny pants (MosMosh); black and white lacy-floral print knit sweatshirt with black trim and sleeves (made by me); black and white snake-print sneakers (Mephisto, Yael).</p> <p>6 (worn to piano class): blue denim terry fleece sweatdress (the first one I made); navy leggings (Lysse); denim and navy cap-toe flats (AGL).</p> <p>7-8 (worn for a day off and some work): stone skinny ankle jeans (NYDJ, Clarissa); blue and olive scroll print burnout knit tee (made by me); oatmeal handkerchief hem cardigan (Bobeau); stone and cream belt (Annette Goertz); taupe cutout booties (Kork-Ease, Stina).</p> <p>9-10: (worn for a day off and a haircut): navy chinos; blue and olive scroll print burnout knit tee (made by me); green-gray belt (Fossil); olive 3/4-sleeved cardigan (Halogen); gray shimmer oxfords (Naot, Kedma).</p> <p>Thanks for looking! I welcome your thoughts and suggestions. </p> </p>
