Although I like the jacket with it also and the collar doesn't bother me - but perhaps it looks less polished to you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-take-my-mind-of-nas#post-1520727 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 02:21:57 +0000 Sveta 1520727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies!<br />It was a crazy day at work so only getting to reply now.<br />Funny: so many of you commented on the "advanced" pattern mixing in #1 and I did not even realize that there is a pattern mix there: I guess lace is a neutral in my book :-)<br /><b>Elizabeth</b>, I don't have cardigans. And I don;t think it is a neckline of the jacket which competes with the top neckline: I tried it with the collarless jacket and it did not feel right either. I guess I ma being picky...<br /><b>Rio</b>, you nailed it with the top - neckline too relaxed... it does look the best sans topper BUT there are not many occasions I can wear it this way - too cold indoors. Should I wear this silk top to the farmer market on Saturday? Also I can try to use it for dancing if I find the right bottoms to go with it.<br />As for the orchid sweater - this is the only way I can wear it - semi-tucked. There is no way I can wear it untucked because it looks oversized -- and not in a fashionable way. Maybe I need to take a picture of it and post it for fun... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-take-my-mind-of-nas#post-1520581 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 22:17:38 +0000 Style Fan 1520581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the outfits.&nbsp; I am very impressed with your pattern mixing in outfit #1.&nbsp; Very advanced.&nbsp; I don't notice the orchid sweater being too big.&nbsp; It looks gorgeous with the navy pants.&nbsp; Love the white top in #3.&nbsp; Nice lines.</p> <p>Good to keep your mind of the NAS.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-take-my-mind-of-nas#post-1520570 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 21:58:28 +0000 approprio 1520570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 &amp; 2 are gorgeous. I particularly like the first one, the stripes and the lace are something I never would have thought of, but they just work.&nbsp;</p> <p>I see what you mean about the third. I have a similar piece that resists layering for much the same reason. Somehow the neckline is too relaxed to look right under a jacket or sweater.</p> <p>Nevertheless, it survived numerous purges because it's nicely made with some cute details and I found I liked it very much on its own tucked into a pencil skirt. Don't ask me why, it just seemed to work. Warm weather only though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-take-my-mind-of-nas#post-1520559 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 21:47:37 +0000 deb 1520559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love # 1! They all are super, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-take-my-mind-of-nas#post-1520556 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 21:42:18 +0000 Nebraskim 1520556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That look No. 1 is AMAZING. I love that lace shirt over the black tank AND the stripes. Advanced pattern mixing A-Plus. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-take-my-mind-of-nas#post-1520499 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 20:20:51 +0000 Anonymous 1520499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-take-my-mind-of-nas#post-1520336 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 16:02:52 +0000 Lisa 1520336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Three great looks while you wait for NAS. &nbsp;I have also been browsing online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-take-my-mind-of-nas#post-1520319 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 15:40:55 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1520319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fantastic, Sveta! The subtle pattern-mixing in 1 is so appealing, I love the colors and the slouchy vibe of 2, and 3 is so fresh and gorgeous on you. I like the blue jacket over it, too--really makes the jacket a statement piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-take-my-mind-of-nas#post-1520295 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 14:46:08 +0000 viva 1520295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love the variety here, Sveta! The layering in #1 is really brilliant. And the pants in #2 are spectacular on you. I love the scarf with the look, too -- I don't know why it works so well but it really does. Fabulous fashion here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-take-my-mind-of-nas#post-1520293 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 14:35:52 +0000 Elizabeth P 1520293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits Sveta!&nbsp; I love the pattern mixing that the black under white creates in #1.&nbsp; I have the v-neck version of that sweater, and mine has always been big, so no help there.&nbsp; I do think you've disguised any fit issues well, we'd never know.&nbsp; And the top in 3... I do prefer it on it's own.&nbsp; Not saying it's not good for layering, but maybe a less "complicated" collar might work better?&nbsp; Like a v-neck cardi? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-take-my-mind-of-nas#post-1520288 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 14:22:49 +0000 celia 1520288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfits all of them.<br />I love outfit #1, the mix of patterns and texture is absolutely wonderful.<br />On #2 I think that with the semi tuck the whole outfit seems drapey , I wouldn't know that the sweater was too big if you hadn't told us.<br />#3 , and after you pointed out, it looks awesome without the jacket. I also have a hard time layering with certain necklines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-take-my-mind-of-nas#post-1520186 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 10:35:40 +0000 lyn67 1520186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great "distracting from the NAS" week you had, Sveta!:-) My fave is nr 1, esp love the black top with it, but other 2 are also impecable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-take-my-mind-of-nas#post-1520136 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 07:19:41 +0000 Maneera 1520136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Sveta! Good to see more WIWs! </p> <p>Love the top in #1. The whole outfit looks very classy and I don't think the top is too long for the skirt. </p> <p>While the sweater is oversized in #2, the relaxed fit looks lovely with the navy pants and the scarf is a winner! I love this outfit...the colours are beautiful together. </p> <p>I also like outfit #3. Love the jacket and the silk top looks good both layered and on its own because of the lovely color combination. The whole outfit looks great....though I can see that neckline looks better by itself only after I read you mentioned it. In any case, it doesn't look odd when layered. Did it 'feel' wrong? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-take-my-mind-of-nas#post-1520047 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 03:08:35 +0000 Sveta 1520047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...I decided to post my outfits from the previous week which I did not have a chance to post yet. So here we go!</p> <p><b>pic #1 White, black and nude. </b><br />I love this lace top from BR - amazing how much better it looks in person than in the stock picture. I prefer to layer it over a black tank so the lace pattern stands out more (neat trick I learned from Angie) The top may be too long for the skirt but I hope it is JFE!</p> <p><b>pic #2 Orchid, black and navy</b><br />I really like the color of this J Crew sweater but I have an issue with the fit - it is too big. I am not sure if it stretched out that much or if it was too big to start with as I bought it before finishing my weight loss last year. I know some of fabbers have this same sweater (Suz? Tanya?) &nbsp;- did yours stretched out too? I cannot wear it without a partial tuck and sleeve scrunching as it is too oversized for my liking.<br />It also definitely faded after a couple of washes!<br />Other than the sweater fit I was really happy with this outfit includig the scarf. I am really warming up back to them now!</p> <p><b>pic #3 Almost whiteout</b><br />I got this BR silk shell on a big discount at the store to use as a layering piece and this is my first attempt to wear it. I am not sure though - may be this neckline which is not the best for layering? I don't think I was as happy with this outfit as I was with the other two...</p> <p>OK, thus distracted from NAS browsing I am going off to bed :-)<br />Thanks for looking nad as usual all commenst and suggestions are very much appreciated! </p>
