But as a shorter person (5'4") and with shorter legs, I find a lot of the shapes hard to wear - the clothes are often overwhelming for my frame. Or don't give me enough structure. Or something. </p> <p>You don't look particularly tall OR short to me in the pics, but I was curious, because you do look GOOD. So I have been puzzling about what aspects help. It could be your strong shoulder line if you are an IT. I have pretty wide shoulders, too, though, and am small busted. So theoretically, those aspects should help me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-695096 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 04:06:51 +0000 ironkurtin 695096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, I am an inverted triangle/rectangle with a small bosom, so I don't have much in the way of girl parts to get in the way of fabric draping. I seem to recall you are built much more like a girl, so what fits me might not work in the same way for you just because of, you know, boobs. You might try Inhabit and Eileen Fisher, and look at their linen knits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694865 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 00:23:56 +0000 Janet 694865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how well you wear these unstructured pieces! I try them and they make me look like a blob, I just don't get it.</p> <p>I'd love to find a great easy linen sweater -- any suggestions on brands? </p> <p>Una, I like that convertible piece! Do you find it versatile? How's the sizing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694854 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 00:16:45 +0000 Freckles 694854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater is absolutely divine and no matter what you call that colour it really seems to suit you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694783 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 23:05:23 +0000 ironkurtin 694783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, the original baby poop also came with a small and adorable baby, so... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694778 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 22:58:28 +0000 catgirl 694778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, if you can commit to baby poop, you can commit to anything! </p> <p>JOKING. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694772 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 22:56:47 +0000 ironkurtin 694772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa. I don't know if I could commit to a sweater that needs its own tutorial. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694763 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 22:50:17 +0000 catgirl 694763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! I have a similar sweater that my sister gave me; you can see it here, along with a tutorial on how to wear it. Great on airplanes. I've even worn it as a scarf.</p> <p><a href="http://www.lillap.com/TWRP" rel="nofollow">http://www.lillap.com/TWRP</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694666 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 21:32:45 +0000 ironkurtin 694666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I'm 5'6". If I stand very tall after doing Alexander technique, i think I'm 5'7". But usually I slouch. Curious, do I look taller or shorter? I know I'm short-waisted and long-legged, it'd be fun to add "looks tall"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694636 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 21:14:02 +0000 Suz 694636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! </p> <p>I have closet envy. Seriously. </p> <p>Dana, how tall are you, if you don't mind my asking? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694528 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 20:05:35 +0000 jayne 694528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how that insert of color really brings the look alive. I think you need more color in your live lady! and so cool that you have fashion as toy now! too cool </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694488 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 19:18:46 +0000 Kate 694488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great sweater, gorgeous color. For years, my bathroom was painted a greeny-gold like your sweater, and yes, my little voice also whispered 'baby poop.' Not that I cared. Loved that color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694469 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 18:57:49 +0000 harmonica 694469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>linen wrap sweater - never new such thing excisted. Very cool and very you! Love </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694386 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 17:16:13 +0000 ironkurtin 694386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MNSara - the texture is rough enough that it stays put pretty well. Also, it has a loop on the short hem to thread through! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694383 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 17:14:07 +0000 Sylvie 694383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that's a versatile piece. I think the awesome drape and styling should distract you from any unfortunate color associations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694330 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 16:07:13 +0000 rae 694330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool, and very you! Reminds me of my trench color, which I've been calling caramel. Excited to see all the different ways you think of to wrap this baby! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694327 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 16:05:17 +0000 Transcona Shannon 694327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - love the wrap sweater IK! Beautiful piece - I'd say it's a lovely caramel colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694311 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 15:44:14 +0000 MNsara 694311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a great sweater - color and all!! I love the ways you've shown here. Will the parts stay put where you drape them? Do you have, or need, those 'stick pins' for it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694309 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 15:41:45 +0000 Shu 694309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AAAACK!!!

Sorry about the bug bites.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694297 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 15:25:37 +0000 Anonymous 694297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a beautiful golden tan! You have such a sophisticated look IK. I love your unique pieces and this sweater is no exception. The color is a fab addition to your white tops and the lines are so interesting that no one will ever notice the bites on your legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694290 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 15:11:37 +0000 Jem 694290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool sweater! I wouldn't have thought of baby poop if you hadn't mentioned it. I kindof like that color, actually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wrapped#post-694288 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 15:08:12 +0000 ironkurtin 694288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>New insane linen wrap sweater can be worn any number of ways! I am not sure how to describe the color - sortof a golden, greeny brown. (A little voice keeps whispering, "Baby poop color, it's baby poop color!!!" but I am ignoring it. Go away, little voice!)</p> <p>- Spina linen wrap sweater (from Yoox)<br /> - James Perse cream tank dress<br /> - Eileen Fisher linen crops<br /> - Fiorentini-Baker sandals</p> <p>I hope no one looks too closely at my legs, because they are so covered with bug bites from *a single day* in Austin I haven't dared to shave! </p>
