You look super cozy and I love the term "chicken soup sweater". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected/page/2#post-1094269 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 06:58:31 +0000 Greyscale 1094269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is very, very much my style, so of course I like it - but it looks particularly good on you, with your excellent choice of accessories and coordinating clothing pieces. I can see how it's a departure from other things you've posted, and I know I'm new here, but to me&nbsp;it seems to fit your overall image even though it's a bit of an outlier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected/page/2#post-1094253 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 06:37:33 +0000 Deborah 1094253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am having so much trouble keeping up at the moment, hence my late visit to this post. Shannon this might be my favourite outfit of yours ever! And that's saying something because I love all your outfits. You wear this beautifully. I was all for this sweater and I am thrilled to see how stunning it looks on you. This is perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected/page/2#post-1093985 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 01:52:46 +0000 LACeleste 1093985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so inspired by your style Shannon! &nbsp;You are always evolving and look smashing all the time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected/page/2#post-1093880 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 00:35:39 +0000 Anonymous 1093880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a lot of cardi.&nbsp; You styled it perfectly, LOVE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected/page/2#post-1093879 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 00:35:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1093879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cross posted Angie :)</p> <p>Wow. Thank you. I will admit I felt pretty darned fab in this outfit today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected/page/2#post-1093877 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 00:34:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1093877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae - I'm laughing at your comment on my boots. These have got to be at least 10 years old. I'm not sure if they're entirely in style but they sure are warm and comfy.</p> <p>Aida - I know what you mean about adding lightness and love your styling suggestions. I will definitely be playing around with this sweater to see how many ways I can make it work.</p> <p>Thank you all for chiming in - I truly appreciate each and every comment </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected/page/2#post-1093870 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 00:30:58 +0000 Angie 1093870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>11 out of 10.&nbsp;</p> <p>You wear your Chicken Soup Sweater beautifully, Shannon. And should seriously model for Eileen Fisher.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected/page/2#post-1093863 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 00:27:28 +0000 Aida 1093863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! The cut and drape of the sweater is really nice, and the sleek boots go a long way to streamlining this (as much as it could be hehe). Though I must say I like it with the clutch included because it adds a bit of lightness (that's just my thing with black feeling heavy, I think). This sweater could also&nbsp;be fun on the weekend with lighter elements, say a light top, jeans, and tall boots; you could really work the cozy angle for a weekend outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected/page/2#post-1093682 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 21:52:08 +0000 Caro in Oz 1093682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF. Making the drapey piece the star works for me too.</p> <p>Mine is a cashmere hoodie. I'm so not a hoodie person - i wear it round the house &amp; feel very comfy lux. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected/page/2#post-1093643 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 20:51:04 +0000 deb 1093643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this sweater on you.

Simple black dressing underneath really highlights the sweater. Lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected/page/2#post-1093493 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 19:11:19 +0000 rachylou 1093493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely different, but excellently executed! I think you are ready for the zombie apocalypse brigade in this outfit Hehe. A lady after my own heart. I'll start work on a "chain mail" (i.e., soda can tab) vest for you. Hehe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected/page/2#post-1093412 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:56:21 +0000 rae 1093412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE. Totally killer with those boots!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected/page/2#post-1093402 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:48:36 +0000 peacechick 1093402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, you look arty and stylish. I've followed previous discussions in this forum in the past about style identities and veering from them, and my opinion is that experimentation is important and brings joy. I love that book by Trinny &amp; Susannah, "Who Do You Want To Be Today?" To me, that's the joy of dressing up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected/page/2#post-1093381 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:36:00 +0000 DonnaF 1093381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater is a departure from your usual style, but what I found interesting is that it looks 2000% fabulous on you.&nbsp; (Sometimes we don't wear certain styles because they don't look very good on us, IYKWIM.)&nbsp; I think if this were an *ordinary* cascading cardi and was not EF quality, it would look meh on you.&nbsp; I am always so impressed by your style. &nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected#post-1093296 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:37:13 +0000 Astrid 1093296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! The drapy cardigan looks wonderful with the sleek silhouette underneath. I like the black and grey look and your clutch is just perfect for this outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected#post-1093288 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:31:08 +0000 Marmee 1093288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the lines of this sweater on you! &nbsp;Looks Fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected#post-1093257 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:17:29 +0000 Amy 1093257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you pull this off? What a silly question. You look fantastic! Stay warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected#post-1093250 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:14:29 +0000 Nebraskim 1093250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You rock this look. I, too, bought a cascade front cardigan on deep sale a year ago. It was far outside my typical look and lacks the ruffle/peplum of this garment, but I loved the color (charcoal, black and grey color blocks) and warmth from high wool content. And I wear it a lot, finding it surprisingly versatile. In fact, I found that this type of style looks good on me, and I've added similar cardigans in different fabrics. I am a no-fuss person. I don't wear much jewelry but I do like scarves. This looks feels no-fuss to me because it comes with its own accessory...Congrats on achieving high style, comfort and warmth. (Your cold air is barreling down on Nebraska today....) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected#post-1093243 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:10:11 +0000 DizzyLizzy 1093243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear this type of outfit all.the.time in winter as I like a high degree of comfort and I think you look absolutely FABULOUS in this outfit. The simple column of colour under that sweater jacket looks perfect - flow and drape that doesn't add bulk can be hard to find but you nailed it with this outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected#post-1093242 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:10:06 +0000 catgirl 1093242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is something I'd wear head to toe. I love if and totally get the comfort issue. It's my mashed potatoes with gravy outfit! This is why I've been wearing so many oversized cashmere sweaters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected#post-1093240 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:08:51 +0000 Suz 1093240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I think it is a super fab chicken soup for the soul change! I like it. And I am totally with you. I had gone off cardigans for a long time but I am actually thinking of ordering a couple for my work-at-home days for just this reason. Rock on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected#post-1093237 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:07:28 +0000 Anonymous 1093237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your styling of this takes it a level beyond chicken soup to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-unexpected#post-1093204 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 15:41:47 +0000 Alexandra 1093204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks cozy and comfy!

But this is such a strong YAY from me. You look amazing. &nbsp;I have grown to love the whole waterfall sweater thing.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a few "chicken soup" pieces ( I love that expression ), which I think are a bit easier for a SAHM. &nbsp;My current favorite is similar to yours but in lightweight sweatshirt material from Nordstrom. &nbsp;I have one in black and one in fushcia that I don't wear much outside the house but I wear it inside all the time.
