Glad to see that the vest is popular - I just checked and apparently I knit it more than five years ago! I had some trouble styling it back when I first made it - the neckline can make it veer a little "milkmaid" if I'm not careful - but I think I've figured it out by now. These days I think of it more like a haramaki (Japanese belly-warmer) rather than a straight up vest.<br /> Ravelry link if any knitters are interested ... <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/akabori/fence" rel="nofollow">http://www.ravelry.com/projects/akabori/fence</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-mostly-dark-neutrals-with-white-and-purple#post-1428363 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 23:52:16 +0000 E 1428363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great new bob!

And&nbsp;the white watch (mine is DKNY2011 also inspired by Angie)&nbsp;makes me smile too. Fab knitted west, and what a quirky outfit in nr 3-5! Other 2 also great, not your (at least not my)&nbsp;common one, esp the last one:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-mostly-dark-neutrals-with-white-and-purple#post-1427292 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 02:35:35 +0000 Jaime 1427292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your haircut! The cashmere sweater outfit is terrific but the last one with the shorts and your new hair takes the cake! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-mostly-dark-neutrals-with-white-and-purple#post-1427266 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 01:28:28 +0000 shipskitty 1427266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your new 'do! </p> <p>#3 is my favorite of those looks but you look great in all of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-mostly-dark-neutrals-with-white-and-purple#post-1427256 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 01:11:15 +0000 columbine(erin) 1427256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #3, Diana, because of the textures and feminine but strong details. The shorts outfit is fun and the micro check pants are such a nice fit on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-mostly-dark-neutrals-with-white-and-purple#post-1427228 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 00:16:45 +0000 Angie 1427228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH. The new 'do is FABULOUS, Diana. I <b>love </b>that length on you. And you are ADORABLE in the shorts outfit. Your white watch is touching. (((HUGS))).&nbsp;</p> <p>#3 is such a Diana-look. I hereby crown you Queen Texture. Killer combination of interesting fabrics across one colour palette. xo</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-mostly-dark-neutrals-with-white-and-purple#post-1427223 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 00:10:04 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1427223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fantastic, Diana. I'm partial to the last one, with your shorts and your short new 'do--you look super chic, head to toe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-mostly-dark-neutrals-with-white-and-purple#post-1427222 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 00:04:46 +0000 Diana 1427222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Three outfits from this week and weekend, and a haircut!</p> <p>1-2: My handknit black cashmere sweater again, this time paired with my b/w micro check wool pants and black riding boots.&nbsp; This time I wore the collar piece loose, like a scarf thrown over one shoulder.&nbsp; <br />(handknit sweater, BR pants, Blondo boots)</p> <p>3-5: Another mostly black and white outfit, with a bunch pattern mixing.&nbsp; (I say <i>mostly</i> black and white because the handknit vest technically has some bluish undertones that you may or may not be able to see in #5.)&nbsp; I don't love that the back panel of the blouse is black - I think it looks a little funny from the back, but otherwise I really liked this outfit.&nbsp; It feels very typically me.&nbsp; <br />(Bellatrix blazer and blouse, handknit vest, CoH jeggings, Naot boots, Longchamp bag).</p> <p>6: More dark neutrals, with purple this time.&nbsp; I wore this today to go out for brunch and errands afterwards.&nbsp; It was a lot warmer today so I decided to make the most of the weather and wear my shorts (with tights, of course).&nbsp; The vest is the same one as in the previous outfit. Really like how this one turned out too.&nbsp; <br />(handknit vest, Gap top, Uniqlo shorts, H&amp;M tights, Sam Edelman boots, MZ Wallace bag).</p> <p>So, obviously you can tell that between the second and third outfits, I got a long-overdue haircut and color.&nbsp; It's the same inverted bob and burgundy color I have been getting for a while now; my hairdresser was actually showing someone else how to do the haircut, so I got to learn all the details about it myself as well!&nbsp; (For example, apparently the undercut has five separate layers, but they get longer as you go outward unlike normal layering.) &nbsp; The longer hair looks nice but had gotten super wild, heavy, and annoying, and did not play nicely with hats and scarves and coat collars.&nbsp; In #6, I haven't washed it yet after the salon so it's a little more "done" than I would normally wear it - I wouldn't round it out so much at the bottom if I were doing it myself (I prefer a little more angled and more RATE look.)</p> <p>PS - in the second and third outfits, I am wearing the new white Skagen watch I got last month.&nbsp; I think the pop of white is fun and just enough white for me, plus it is very Angie-esque which makes me smile.&nbsp; </p>
