I would probably do the same thing, and go more tonal, cuz it's more me. Love the Paul Green sandals, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-contrasting-tank-and-other-outfits#post-1337100 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 18:54:23 +0000 texstyle 1337100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Almost missed this one - but I wanted to say I love your sweater with constrasting tank outfit!&nbsp; I really like the booties you paired it with too. All of these outfits are great but that one is my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-contrasting-tank-and-other-outfits#post-1335657 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 04:28:00 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1335657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, <b>Staysfit</b>! The shrug is actually a very simple pattern and easy to sew, especially if you use a knit and leave the edges raw. It's the <a href="http://sewingworkshop.com/shop/pattern-downloads?page=shop.product_details&amp;flypage=flypage.pbv.v1.tpl&amp;product_id=610&amp;category_id=80" rel="nofollow">eShrug from The Sewing Workshop</a>.

I so admire your ability to sew. The cream linen top is fabulous. Where did you get the pattern for the shrug? I would love to make one, although, I am not sure my skills are advanced enough for the pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-contrasting-tank-and-other-outfits#post-1335422 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 23:51:53 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1335422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all!

The pants are utterly fab on you and the angled top is so unexpected and cool! Love the sweater over tanks--they both look terrific. I meant to say that I adored your linen skirt in the vacation thread. The drawstrings really change it up. It looked like the skirt was floating on you--so amazing and pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-contrasting-tank-and-other-outfits#post-1334929 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 14:12:23 +0000 Angie 1334929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ALL super fun and Elegantly Eclectic, Ms. MAD Glam.

I love both MBM pieces in the third outfit but they are slightly competing with each other together - I would want to see them each being the featured piece in their own outfit. Still a great set! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-contrasting-tank-and-other-outfits#post-1334780 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 05:45:43 +0000 Marley 1334780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first outfit is KILLING me! &nbsp;<b>Love!</b> &nbsp;That white angled shirt is gorgeous - the detailing is exquisite! &nbsp;All of the outfits are beautiful Firecracker - and the items that you made yourself are show-stoppers!<br />I really canNOT get over that first outfit!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-contrasting-tank-and-other-outfits#post-1334768 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 05:19:50 +0000 Jeanie 1334768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh cool, I love that angled top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-contrasting-tank-and-other-outfits#post-1334754 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 04:47:30 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1334754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! <br /><b>Joy</b>, I can definitely picture the cream top on you--it would be fantastic. :)<br /><b>Neel</b> and <b>Tanya</b>, I'm glad to hear you find the tank and sweater work well together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-contrasting-tank-and-other-outfits#post-1334751 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 04:40:12 +0000 Tanya 1334751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are on fire!&nbsp; All of the pieces you made are beautiful.</p> <p>#7 is my favorite, but all the outfits are amazing.&nbsp; The mesh sweater and tank look great to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-contrasting-tank-and-other-outfits#post-1334745 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 04:31:12 +0000 Anonymous 1334745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! My favorite pieces are all " Made By Me". I especially like the angled top in the first outfit.

Can't pick a favorite!</p> <p>The contrasting tank and open knit sweater work beautifully IMO. And such gorgeous colors on you!</p> <p>The shirt in 1 is so chic! Love the uneven hem!</p> <p>The knit shrug and denim skirt in 5-7 is TDF! You are one talented seamstress! Wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sweater-contrasting-tank-and-other-outfits#post-1334726 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 03:59:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1334726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my recent work outfits this week was inspired by Angie's ensemble: "sweater &amp; contrasting tank." My version (second outfit below) is fairly low contrast, perhaps more tonal in effect. Does it work? I thought my bright coral cami would be interesting to try, but it was in the wash.</p> <p>Then I was going to go for a similar effect today (third outfit below), but I didn't like any of the contrast options I had (again, I thought maybe the bright coral cami, but I haven't gotten to the laundry yet!). So I ended up with a kind of matching tank under my open-weave shrug.</p> <p>The first outfit admittedly has nothing to do with open stitch sweaters and contrasting tanks; just catching up on some outfit posts.</p> <p>The outfits:<br />1-3 (worn to work): dark ink with tiny white pinstripe stretch cotton slouchy pants (made by me); cream linen angled-hem top with contrast decorative stitching (made by me); tan belt (Trafalgar); mixed neutrals heeled oxfords (Fidji); navy and tan satchel (Dooney &amp; Bourke).</p> <p>&nbsp;4 (worn to work): same pants as above; gray cami (Shimera); ink open-knit high-low hem sweater (RD Style); metallic peep-toe booties (Paul Green, Tacey). </p> <p>5-7 (worn to work): black denim angled wrap skirt (made by me); stone long tank, worn ruched up (Emily Blu); silver and gray lace knit shrug (made by me); black sling-back Mary Janes (Think! Aida); black satchel (Elliott Lucca, Olvera).</p> <p>Thanks for looking! I always appreciate your comments and suggestions. </p>
