I think it works and love the idea. What Suz said about the sleeves. The cropped sweater could be even a little more cropped to my eye, but only if you want to tweak it more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vaguely-inspired-by-marc#post-1166322 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 02:19:16 +0000 Jaime 1166322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Works really well!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vaguely-inspired-by-marc#post-1166293 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 01:53:16 +0000 amiable 1166293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! &nbsp;I managed to catch up on my WIWs last night&nbsp;- it has been too long since I was on top of posting </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vaguely-inspired-by-marc#post-1166238 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 01:09:03 +0000 Angie 1166238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the way you layered the two tops, Amy.

I wonder if the different neckline makes it feel a bit off for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vaguely-inspired-by-marc#post-1166200 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 00:25:53 +0000 amiable 1166200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's pretty wide - cutting off the sleeves will end up something like cap sleeves, I'm guessing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vaguely-inspired-by-marc#post-1166193 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 00:17:18 +0000 rachylou 1166193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you going to make a vest? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vaguely-inspired-by-marc#post-1166172 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 23:57:55 +0000 amiable 1166172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They may as well be clogs (they're Dansko's), but no, they have a back. &nbsp;I think that makes them not a clog?</p> <p>And yep - I think it needs boots, and I think I'm going to cut the sleeves off of the sweater... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vaguely-inspired-by-marc#post-1166168 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 23:54:23 +0000 rachylou 1166168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of the solid over the stripe. Usually the stripe goes over the solid. I think that's worth playing around with some more. Maybe boots instead of clogs? Or are those clogs? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vaguely-inspired-by-marc#post-1166123 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 22:09:05 +0000 Ornella 1166123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really, really&nbsp;like this!

(Although I think the snow boots make it -- you gotta wear those, seriously!) ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>It looks better when your arms are out to the sides. It may not be the length of the sleeves so much as the crisp angle on the MJ vs. yours.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vaguely-inspired-by-marc#post-1165742 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 15:55:19 +0000 amiable 1165742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I realize that seeing the inspiration is a long shot (and that the result here doesn't actually work that well, and definitely isn't photographing very well). &nbsp;But when I was getting dressed this morning, it really was Angie's link to the Marc Jacobs show that inspired me. &nbsp;He seemed to have a lot of boxy short sleeves over patterned (or bright) long sleeves, with narrow pants and snow boots.</p> <p>I didn't want to wear snow boots for the day, but liked the idea of a boxy sweater over a patterned long sleeve top. &nbsp;So I tried it with this sweater that's both cropped and boxy. &nbsp;I'm kinda thinking the sleeve length of the cropped boxy sweater doesn't work...</p> <p>What are your thoughts? </p>
