I still have an off shoulder top from last year—for some vavoom this year. These sweaters are a kind of drop shoulder construction or maybe modified dolman? Fascinating to me why one works and one doesn’t. Going to have to post and ask Angie for her eagle eye and thoughts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-sweates#post-2409497 Thu, 02 Apr 2026 05:29:38 +0000 Star (Lise) 2409497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my KET. Your top is very well cut. I was mistaken and actually meant off the shoulder tops add vavavoom. This drop shoulder is very attractive. Sometimes they are not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-sweates#post-2409461 Wed, 01 Apr 2026 23:32:31 +0000 Ket 2409461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>LJP</b>, thank you! I actually used to layer a lot, but it's been 20 years since I did. I enjoyed the challenge and fun of it. I think it could be fun to introduce some layers in the fall again. Maybe even... a handknit sweater vest :}</p> <div><br /></div><div><b>Jenni</b>, I'm really happy about the new jeans too. And thank you. It was fun to not schlep about in sweats for the day ha!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Angie</b>, thank you most kindly! I admit, I'm really loving the new direction. I still think Boho will return one of these days, but I'm loving another look and feel. Funny you said "gymnastics." I was a gymnast in my youth. Didn't even think of that until you said it. :D<br /><div><br /></div><div><b>Jaime</b> and <b>Lisa</b>, I really love the creams! Glad you both do too.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>LJP</b>, <b>Lisa</b>, <b>Jaime</b>, <b>Pirouette</b>, <b>Robin</b>, so glad everyone is loving my leopard coat! It's not very warm on its own, but it cuts the wind and rain beautifully. The drop sleeve sweater was a bit bulky underneath it (the sleeve bunches up inside the coat arm/shoulder). Still, I loved the pairing. Will try to wear my leopard coat more as weather allows. It was clearance piece from Walmart, of all places.&nbsp;</div></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Star</b>, I haven't worn much with dropped shoulder before. But I'm really loving it. I think this is just cut very well, or perhaps because it's short sleeved?&nbsp; </p> <p><b>Sisi</b>, thank you for all the compliments! My hope and plan is to layer these cream pieces over chiffon blouses come fall/winter. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the athletic skills compliment. :D&nbsp;</p> </div><div><br /></div><div><b>MsMary</b>, thank you dearly! I have usually found drop sleeves not quite right on me. But I really love this sweater. In fact, I found it in black and bought it too ha!</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-sweates#post-2409445 Wed, 01 Apr 2026 16:41:52 +0000 MsMary 2409445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I especially love the drop-shoulder sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-sweates#post-2409441 Wed, 01 Apr 2026 15:43:12 +0000 Sisi 2409441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab in the cream sleeveless sweater. It looks like an elegant, very well made piece and that shade of cream makes you "shine". I also like the drop-shoulder sweater with the floral blouse underneath. Compliments on your athletic skills! :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-sweates#post-2409436 Wed, 01 Apr 2026 12:59:53 +0000 RobinF 2409436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love that coat! Nice outfits, I like the cream colors on you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-sweates#post-2409427 Wed, 01 Apr 2026 08:33:39 +0000 pirouette 2409427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your leopard coat is gorgeous on you. I like the cream especially nice with the gold earrings.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-sweates#post-2409421 Wed, 01 Apr 2026 03:06:26 +0000 Star (Lise) 2409421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both knits are fab but special love for the dropped shoulder top, on it's own and layered. A dropped shoulder top is a favourite of mine. They really add vavoom to an outfit in a subtle way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-sweates#post-2409416 Wed, 01 Apr 2026 02:23:56 +0000 Angie 2409416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo everyone's compliments,<i></i> <b>Ket</b><b>!</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>(Impressive gymnastics in Walmart too!)<br /><i></i><br />Fantastic new pieces! Creative layering! Excellent gold earring action! Pretty in cream! Always KILLER in earth tones! I'm seeing the movement away from boho, and you're nailing the evolution </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-sweates#post-2409406 Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:18:23 +0000 Jenni NZ 2409406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So happy for you that the new jeans look so good while still being comfortable around the middle!<br /> I love that shade of cream on you also. It’s a warmer shade perhaps. Wonderful leopard coat! You looked very fancy to stay home and drink coffee </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-sweates#post-2409398 Tue, 31 Mar 2026 22:33:19 +0000 Jaime 2409398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are looking very elegant in cream. And leopard suits you beautifully. Fab looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-sweates#post-2409393 Tue, 31 Mar 2026 22:07:26 +0000 Lisa 2409393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new jeans and sweaters look really good! This shade of cream is superb on you. I especially like #7 paired with the leopard trench and the layered look of #10. Wonderful new wardrobe additions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-sweates#post-2409389 Tue, 31 Mar 2026 22:02:19 +0000 LJP 2409389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - you look particularly fabulous in your leopard coat outfit :). I'm not one for layering but I can appreciate what a great job you did with the blouse/second sweater combo. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-sweates#post-2409385 Tue, 31 Mar 2026 21:10:29 +0000 Ket 2409385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>New top and recently new top! Both were thrifted this top. (Neither are in my finds yet.) Brand is Girl With Curves, Tanesha Aswathi’s now discontinued label. Her tops never seem to be cut any apparent waist shaping yet, they always fit me so, so well. I’ve thrifted and purchased several of her GWC items this year and last. </p> <p>Photos 1-5: my new cream sleeveless sweater. It’s cool enough to wear in summer heat. Yet, I’m also looking forward to layering it over blouses in colder weather. It is tunic length, split hem, and is knit in a half fisherman rib stitch. My only wish is that the neckline was much higher, scoop, or v-neck. Crew necks have never been my fave or most flattering. Also wearing my new smaller Eloquii jeans! The waist did give with wear. Still a bit snug but I feel a lot better in them then the too-big size I had before. </p> <p>Photos 6-9: oversized drop-shoulder sweater with my flares, leopard print coat, and wedge espadrilles I found on clearance for $1. Funny story: I recently tripped on an unseen piece of trash while wearing them at Walmart. I somehow, in split second, executed a perfect tuck and roll in front of Hubs, Son, and several onlookers. Most proud of myself for using my gymnastic training and walking away without bruise or embarrassment! And…People need to throw away their trash. :P</p> <p>Photos 10-12: same drop shoulder sweater with one of my print blouses and flares. Pointy toe chocolate boots. We had a one day cold snap with snow and temps in the 30s F. I needed warmth. Ended up not going to church due to icy roads; so I wore my lovely outfit to drink coffee on the couch. ;)</p> <p>Feedback always welcome </p>
