It looks great the way you've styled it. And #2 is equally fabulous. Good luck with all your tailoring projects! It's a pain, but you'll feel so good when the lengths are right for you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2-sweater-vests#post-2230460 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 14:04:34 +0000 Angie 2230460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea!

Both KILLER and you wear them equally well :)</p> <p>Your teal capsule is IMPRESSIVE!&nbsp;</p> <p>I vote hem or hack the jeans to no scrunch, and then cuff a little shorter so that they are LONGER than the rolls shown here. Cropped but not as short. Does that make sense, sweet <b>Tanya</b>?</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2-sweater-vests#post-2230443 Sat, 09 Oct 2021 13:31:14 +0000 Tanya 2230443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are two outfits worn earlier this week, both featuring sweater vests.</p> <p>The first outfit was worn for WFH, specifically an important Zoom meeting.&nbsp; It was built around a very old teal argyle vest, which is fitted, so I experimented with wearing it as a layer under a teal VB blazer.&nbsp; Since you couldn't see my bottoms, I wore a simple pair of slim straight dark wash jeans, at full length, with navy snakeskin loafers, which have a touch of green.&nbsp; &nbsp;If I were going out, I would have switched the loafers for a pair of teal ankle strap shoes, and rolled the jeans hems to show off the shoes (#3).&nbsp; And&nbsp; were I actually going to the office, jeans would have been replaced with navy trousers.</p> <p>The second outfit was worn for casual late afternoon walk.&nbsp; This one was built around the new, loose houndstooth vest I got at NAS, and styled the same way they did in the catalog: over black tee, with faded relaxed straight jeans and stompy black boots.&nbsp; &nbsp;The jeans are full length that is too long for me (lots of scrunching) and need hemming.&nbsp; I was debating between full length (currently trending) and cropped (as in the photo).&nbsp; &nbsp;I am leaning towards cropped, as the combo of full length and relaxed fit did not look most flattering to my eye on myself, but it could also be that I am not used to the look. </p>
