The black jacket completely solves any oversize issues with the white. Adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw102814-keeping-it-real#post-1386469 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 02:52:13 +0000 Sveta 1386469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aside from the quality maybe the starkness of the white paired with the oversized fit is just too much. Adding a darker and more structured jacket on top really fixing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw102814-keeping-it-real#post-1385845 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 03:26:06 +0000 Jaime 1385845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You looked terrific all day. Agree that the sweater is even&nbsp;better with the jacket on top, but if you don't love it why keep it (just thought I'd throw that out there)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw102814-keeping-it-real#post-1385797 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 01:42:43 +0000 kellygirl 1385797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the layered look! You look smashing in light colors. Love your casual style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw102814-keeping-it-real#post-1385795 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 01:40:47 +0000 Suz 1385795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jackie, you look terrific. I agree with you that the sweater looks better layered under the jacket. So if it fills that purpose well for you, might as well continue to wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your gear outfit is fantastic, Uggs and all.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw102814-keeping-it-real#post-1385788 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 01:26:07 +0000 Anonymous 1385788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like &nbsp;#2. Nicely balanced but hey, if you are not feeling the sweater there are lots of other swingy sweaters in the sea.</p> <p>So, I have major poison eye for Uggs BUT, that is because they are always worn so completely wrong. Your hockey look is how Uggs should be worn. Enjoy their warmth.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw102814-keeping-it-real#post-1385763 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 00:26:10 +0000 Angie 1385763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer #2 because the Zella jacket gives the white top some structure. Have you tried partially tucking the front a little, Jackie? The grey scarf and tee are a fun colour repetition in the outfit. Nicely done.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look adorable in your gear in #3. Sporting events require this type of clothing - and this is how to do it.&nbsp;</p> <p>How is little Lincoln? xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw102814-keeping-it-real#post-1385733 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 23:47:01 +0000 Mia 1385733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the sweater under the black jacket. &nbsp;If it's comfy I would keep it for this type of layering and these types of sweaters are in abundance in the shops so it's not dated or anything. &nbsp;Like me you may prefer a shorter length if the knit is on it's own due to body proportion?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw102814-keeping-it-real#post-1385659 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 21:58:02 +0000 jackiec 1385659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a backlog of WIWs to post, but can't seem to get ahead enough to post more than a current day. Crossing my fingers my computer doesn't crash on me soon because I'm seeing <i>way </i>too much of the apple "wheel of death" as my kids like to call it....</p> <p>So yesterday started out with an absolute deluge of rain. I tend to plan my outfits from the ground up, depending on what boots I'm going to wear. I'm surprised to see how much my skinnies have been back in rotation with the wet weather. I have been reluctant to pull out this sweater again. There is something about this cut that doesn't feel right to me. First of all, I really don't like the deep splits in the hem. I feel like I'm wearing a sandwich board sometimes. I guess I am used to always semi-tucking and have a hard time with the full waist surrender.  Can't put my finger on it. Regardless, I think it felt better when I put my black Zella jacket on top because it added back a bit of structure, which I do like. The sweater is a nice cozy cashmere/angora blend, which was perfect for the wet dreary day. Can't say I'm impressed with the sweater, though, the seams have already split at the cuffs after only a few wears. If I lived in the US I'd bring it right back to Nordie's, but alas....</p> <p>Photo 3 shows the progression of the day. I was scheduled to scorekeep at DS' hockey game which means frigid temps in the timekeeper/scorekeeper box. I threw on my Canada Goose parka (which was a gift from DH last year), and, avert your eyes people with "Ugg-poison-eyes" :), my grey zip-up Uggs. Teal infinity scarf and I was set for the freezing elements.</p> <p>Oops didn't mean to be so wordy today. What do you think of the sweater? Does it look ok or should I ditch this type of look?</p> <p>Thanks for looking </p>
