I love the look of the sweater with the tweedy skirt. You look polished and chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yay-or-nay-1#post-1076135 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 02:34:10 +0000 Jaime 1076135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!

I have such a hard time figuring out skirt/sweater proportions, but you look fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yay-or-nay-1#post-1076089 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 01:58:09 +0000 K. Period. 1076089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peri, I bet it looked better on you than you are giving yourself credit for. &nbsp;I'm a super IT (I'm two sizes or more bigger on top than on my bottom half).&nbsp;&nbsp;This is a&nbsp;size up from my regular non CM&nbsp;size for this fit--it is a medium. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yay-or-nay-1#post-1076083 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 01:53:04 +0000 Peri 1076083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey wow, I bought that sweater! Unfortunately it didn't look nearly as good on IT me. You look great though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yay-or-nay-1#post-1076067 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 01:44:06 +0000 K. Period. 1076067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie! It is interesting to try to train myself out of my reflexive "classic to the power of classic" impulses! My arbitrary non-rules are falling left and right. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p>@Nicole: love it!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yay-or-nay-1#post-1076060 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 01:41:04 +0000 Nicole D 1076060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! &nbsp;Here;s what you need to do, and this is actually what I did today. &nbsp;Put your computer monitor on an eye level shelf and stand while reading. &nbsp;No wrinkles &nbsp;on your sweater and&nbsp;burns more calories too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yay-or-nay-1#post-1076055 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 01:38:09 +0000 Angie 1076055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous. I think you're used to seeing a shorter and less chunky&nbsp;pullover with a pencil, K. That's why you were unsure of this outfit. It's super on trend. Fresh look. Rock on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yay-or-nay-1#post-1075998 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 00:56:14 +0000 K. Period. 1075998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy and Caro, you two crack me up. &nbsp;I'm okay with the wrinkles. The sweater hangs away from my body, so I don't think anyone would ever think they were anything but (gasp!) wrinkles. &nbsp;But who knew chunky sweaters could wrinkle? &nbsp;So long as the sweater plus skirt combo looks great, I'm a happy girl!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yay-or-nay-1#post-1075994 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 00:52:35 +0000 sarah 1075994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that this works for sure, and I really love that skirt on you. I do see what you mean about the wrinkles. I get so frustrated when I leave the house feeling great and then my clothes end up wrinkling or doing some such unexpected thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yay-or-nay-1#post-1075986 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 00:48:03 +0000 rachylou 1075986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Caro is dead on about the difference between RATE &amp; polished. This is a really pretty sweater and skirt combo and you might, sweetie, be just about the only person who cares or really notices the wrinkles.</p> <p>That said, they are there - now that you point them out. I guess the thing is, do you want to cut butter like a hot knife? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yay-or-nay-1#post-1075976 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 00:36:14 +0000 pil 1075976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay from me too. That sweater is gorgeous on you with your hair and coloring and I really like it with the skirt - complete with panels! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yay-or-nay-1#post-1075970 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 00:31:56 +0000 unfrumped 1075970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it totally works--very fab to pair the chunky with the slim skirt. And the sweater is gorgeous.<br />I am working oon outfits in this or similar silhouette plus trying for an even shorter top, but not <u>cropped</u>! It is so hard for me to&nbsp;find&nbsp;my mythical perfect&nbsp; &nbsp;length as I want it to fall at a certain spot and that&nbsp; might even vary a bit with the skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yay-or-nay-1#post-1075926 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 23:40:02 +0000 Caro in Oz 1075926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, this is a big difference between RATE &amp; polished - you are so gorgeously polished you notice the wrinkles. YLF imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yay-or-nay-1#post-1075922 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 23:37:37 +0000 Emily 1075922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! &nbsp;It looks lovely to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yay-or-nay-1#post-1075913 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 23:35:28 +0000 LoveSarahDub 1075913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY! to every part of this! You look SO chic, even with a wrinkle or two! Truly, you look very timeless and elegant. </p> <p>Fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yay-or-nay-1#post-1075896 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 23:21:00 +0000 K. Period. 1075896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Una, thanks! I reflexively go toward classic,&nbsp;so pushing into more daring frontiers always makes me a little nervous. I'm not ready to trust (or distrust) myself entirely.&nbsp;</p> <p>@Suz, thank you too! You are such a sweetie! You always have some nice thing to say. I've noticed and I love it about you. &nbsp;The wrinkles on the sweater aren't that noticeable in person and they do fall out quickly. &nbsp;I need to get in the habit of pulling the sweater front flat when I sit down, I think.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yay-or-nay-1#post-1075889 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 23:14:13 +0000 Suz 1075889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It works to my eye. I'd be frustrated about those wrinkles on the sweater, too...do they fall out over time? The skirt is beautiful, too! Always love your smile.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yay-or-nay-1#post-1075888 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 23:14:02 +0000 catgirl 1075888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this combination a LOT, K!&nbsp; The tweedy factor with the skirt has a Chanel-ish effect.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yay-or-nay-1#post-1075882 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 23:06:08 +0000 K. Period. 1075882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've included two pics of the same WIW because the skirt detail is where I really have a question. &nbsp;</p> <p>Angie helped me pick out this lovely sweater and I love it. Soft, comfy, interesting shape. &nbsp;Unfortunately sitting at my desk all day plus overhead lighting make it look oddly wrinkled at the bottom. Let's just pretend I have monster strong abs. &nbsp;</p> <p>I think pairing the bulky sweater with the trim skirt works, but I'm just not sure. The panels throw me off. &nbsp;I added my ankle boots, which have just a bit of gap at the ankle, because they seemed to mirror the hemline of the sweater. &nbsp;Same with the squat doctor's bag. &nbsp;Also, pics from the Nordstrom website so that you can see the detail of the skirt a little better than in my photos.&nbsp;</p> <p>What do you think?&nbsp;Does this work?&nbsp; </p>
