But I do know about difficult stylings - Recently I was in an awful foot boot after foot surgery on my right foot. Several years ago I was in a to-the-knee-cast after foot surgery on my left foot and had to wear wide legged pants for eight weeks. How long will you be in your cast? Vests are good, as are wide sleeved shirts. Tee shirts, some blazers, and&nbsp;sweaters are more likely&nbsp;likely than button-downs&nbsp;to have wider sleeves. You could do a google search on "wide sleeved sweaters" and see what you come up with. Good luck, and heal quickly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-a-cast#post-1154030 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 09:47:59 +0000 Ornella 1154030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh celia - rotten luck, but what a great attitude you have!</p> <p>It's always a pleasure to see you. I love the outfit 10/10 for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-a-cast#post-1153827 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 01:49:23 +0000 gryffin 1153827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Celia- so sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you are feeling better soon!! I like your vest very much and think that was a great idea. Also what about wool or cashmere ponchos? Eileen Fisher has some as did Nordies. I got one from AT but I think they may be gone. Also Vince makes great sweater coats and the sleeves are really wide. You can probably find them on sale now. Feel better!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-a-cast#post-1153772 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:56:04 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1153772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear of this...dolman sleeves or ponchos would work... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-a-cast#post-1153753 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:30:03 +0000 Anonymous 1153753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh. Hope it heals soon! At least the cast is a nice color.</p> <p>I like the vest and belt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-a-cast#post-1153747 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:26:45 +0000 JAileen 1153747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry about your fall. The same thing happened to a good friend and she just wears a giant fleece jacket all the time. Your outfit looks a lot nicer!</p> <p>For your hand could you put a sock on it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-a-cast#post-1153640 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 21:57:56 +0000 celia 1153640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva - yes pants are tricky to fasten.<br /> I hadn't thought about tube skirt with leggings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-a-cast#post-1153616 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 21:16:47 +0000 viva 1153616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll bet pants can be challenging to fasten, too. Maybe a tube skirt over leggings, tucked into your Uggs, with a big slouchy sweater over the top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-a-cast#post-1153613 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 21:15:47 +0000 celia 1153613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro-I tried a couple of sweaters but they didn't have roomy sleeves. I will show the ones I got in other outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-a-cast#post-1153612 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 21:15:28 +0000 viva 1153612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, as if winter weren't hard enough! This vest is so cute. I agree with trying a puffer and some oversized knits, and if there were ever a time to repeat outfits, it's now!&nbsp; Whatever works, wear to death. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-a-cast#post-1153604 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 20:59:49 +0000 Caro in Oz 1153604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry about your wrIst. &nbsp;I like the vest too. What about oversized knits? Would they go over your cast?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-a-cast#post-1153603 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 20:56:25 +0000 celia 1153603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words .<br /> They encourage me to try to dress actual outfits for the next weeks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-a-cast#post-1153599 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 20:48:15 +0000 Anonymous 1153599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the vest -- sorry about your wrist! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-a-cast#post-1153596 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 20:46:16 +0000 Angie 1153596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you poor thing. Hang in there and take care. Hope your wrist heals fast and without complication.&nbsp;</p> <p>Best looks super.

Sorry to hear about your wrist I think your vest works well. You could do with something that has wide sleeves and a loose elasticated cuff that stretches easily. Not an easy find though I expect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-a-cast#post-1153572 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 20:18:10 +0000 deb 1153572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sorry about your fall and the broken wrist.

I feel like a walking tent but is very warm.<br /> Somehow it feels that with the top restrictions everything else fits poorly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-a-cast#post-1153553 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 20:01:04 +0000 Suz 1153553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Celia -- that's so hard!! So sorry this happened.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the vest. It works.&nbsp;</p> <p>How about a down puffer vest? And some of those fingerless mitts to stretch over the cast???&nbsp;</p> <p>Your hand must be freezing anyway.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-a-cast#post-1153550 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 19:58:49 +0000 celia 1153550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear YLF</p> <p>It has been a while. I have been following the blog and forum but posting has been difficult.<br /> Two weeks ago I fell on the ice and fractured my wrist.<br /> As everything that happens in my life it came with its own sense of humor and it is my right wrist as in the wrist of the hand I write and work with.<br /> I am only able to write this much because i am texting with my left hand.<br /> My current challenge is to dress warmly in things that fit my cast, which pretty much rules out all my jackets and 99% of my sweaters.<br /> I cut sleeves from 2 jackets but haven't been feeling very inspired.<br /> I found this vest and was kind of happy with it.</p> <p>Does anyone has suggestions? </p> <p>Sorry for the long post. </p>
