They will go with almost everything.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-voluminous-with-new-handknit-cropped-sweater-and-bonus-jacket-as-cape#post-1266235 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 10:37:10 +0000 Quietgirl 1266235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-voluminous-with-new-handknit-cropped-sweater-and-bonus-jacket-as-cape#post-1266188 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 06:00:29 +0000 Adelfa 1266188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sweater and I'm always so impressed with the fit of the garments you knit! I can knit anything, but when I'm done it won't fit at all! The outfit is totally JFE and then some! You look happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-voluminous-with-new-handknit-cropped-sweater-and-bonus-jacket-as-cape#post-1266180 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 05:31:40 +0000 catgirl 1266180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would know this was you anywhere.

I LOVE how you semi-tucked the one&nbsp;side to create the asymmetrical split hem look in #3. Clever and structurally effective.&nbsp;</p> <p>YES. I wear my coats and jackets as "capes"&nbsp;all the time for practical reasons. High five. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-voluminous-with-new-handknit-cropped-sweater-and-bonus-jacket-as-cape#post-1265383 Sat, 31 May 2014 03:19:47 +0000 Gigi 1265383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your sweater looks so good over the asymmetric tunic! Definitely not too much volume. The rolled pants and the cropped sweater add enough structure, imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-voluminous-with-new-handknit-cropped-sweater-and-bonus-jacket-as-cape#post-1265352 Sat, 31 May 2014 02:45:27 +0000 LACeleste 1265352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super look.

And you read the 10 things to be cool (or whatever it was called)! Love the jacket as a cape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-voluminous-with-new-handknit-cropped-sweater-and-bonus-jacket-as-cape#post-1265293 Sat, 31 May 2014 01:28:13 +0000 Aida 1265293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater turned out great! I like the ultra cropped length (and making it yourself is probably a good way of guaranteeing that "cropped" means "cropped" for you, eh?). The volume here is very nice, all the interesting hemlines and angles do a good job making it look JFE for sure. Fun sssssneaksss (haah~) ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-voluminous-with-new-handknit-cropped-sweater-and-bonus-jacket-as-cape#post-1265291 Sat, 31 May 2014 01:27:42 +0000 Karie 1265291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit!

It looks great! I love the snake pattern on your shoes - I have a pair of snake patterned pumps, but that's about as close as I get in my closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-voluminous-with-new-handknit-cropped-sweater-and-bonus-jacket-as-cape#post-1265272 Sat, 31 May 2014 01:10:49 +0000 abc 1265272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the hand knit sweater! Fun outdoor pics. I have the Josef Siebel version of the shoes - they look almost the same. Fun outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-voluminous-with-new-handknit-cropped-sweater-and-bonus-jacket-as-cape#post-1265250 Sat, 31 May 2014 00:27:00 +0000 Diana 1265250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I finished knitting this cropped mesh sweater earlier this week and finally got to debut it today. &nbsp;I was feeling like doing a lot of volume, so I paired the boxy sweater over a flowy tank and BF jeans. &nbsp;I realize that this is a lot of volume but I think it is JFE! &nbsp;</p> <p>The snake sneakers are new as well. &nbsp;They are the Born Ilisha sneakers that I was thinking about earlier in the spring. I ultimately decided to get the tan instead of blue because I think the tan is more versatile (it's a pseudo-nude for me, plus I think it's easier to wear non-blue shoes with blue jeans). &nbsp;</p> <p>Bonus (outdoor!) pics with my swing coat being worn as a cape. &nbsp;This is the perfect coat to wear this way as it's practically cape shaped anyway.&nbsp; I mentioned yesterday that I had only recently started doing this and realized that it actually does stay put shockingly well since most of my coats have enough shoulder structure to keep from sliding off. &nbsp;</p> <p>handknit sweater, Anthro tank, Gap BF jeans, Born sneakers, Longchamp bag, Tulle coat.</p> <p>Ravelry links: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/akabori/nijo">project</a>&nbsp;and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/nijo">pattern</a> </p>
