9.24 - Tunic sweater w flares

I had just picked up this sweater yesterday, and was debating wearing it anyways today! This won't be an all-winter piece as I'm not into layering knits ....and I'm fine with having a piece like this that just gets worn a few times when the weather cooperates. Not everything has to be a boring workhorse

I first had it on with leggings this morning to do the school run and then changed into flared pants for work and a dentist appt this aft. The ponte skinnies/leggings/booties combo will be how it gets worn a little later in the season, and I really wanted to take advantage of this short window to wear flares and pumps.

I layered an ivory silk tank underneath for coverage and a flash of brightness as the side slits and armholes are pretty open. (The tank does not sit tight and pull like it does in the picture - it's actually quite flowy. I think I was twisting to get a side pic and it was caught.) I also tried it with some bling at the neck but felt the bare arms needed some bracelet action to finish it off, deeming the necklace unnecessary. Very discreet earrings which may seem too understated given I am not wearing lipstick (dentist and all - yuck) but I do have a bit of a doorknocker ring on to balance the other hand/wrist. Also - red nail polish!

Plaid reversible fringed wrap for the car, and snakeskin pumps to pick up the ivory in the tank and to bookend my hair. Quite comfortable and happy!

LisaP. I like it a lot on you. I like the crew neck much more then the turtlenecks and cowl necks. Is the knit also less coarse?

Diana

Love it! So elegant with the flares.

Sterling - thank you. Less coarse than what? The one I had a few years ago? Yes, that one had mohair in it along with the big turtleneck, and it made me want to jump off a bridge. This one is a wool blend, but is much softer. The tiny itch factor is another reason I have a tank underneath....

I am planning a trip to Artitzia next week when I am in Portland with my daughter and I want to try this on. It is GORGEOUS. Although for me, it has to work as a layering piece - but I think it will. You look quite smashing here, Lisa. Love the pants and the shoes. Head to toe perfection.

Thanks Vivian! It comes in a couple of other colours too. They had 3 or 4 different ones with different neck openings: turtleneck, vneck etc etc

I didn't see that at Aritzia! Love it all.

Great look! Enjoy this weather window. It's like Spring for us...here one week, gone the next. Love your watch too. Mine's paired with a fitbit in dark navy today;-)

To me, this is outfit perfection!
I love your wrap! I see it as being fairly versatile.
Your bracelets/watch are so perfect too.
Plus the bit of pattern on the pumps.
I also love your flares. Very cool!
Very inspirational.

Jenn

You always look so amazingingly pulled-together and polished, and this is no exception.

I think we've matched these watches before, haven't we Carter? lol . Una, I think these tunics are just new in this past week - from what the SA said. Vivian, you have the perfect body for this kind of sweater - you will look fantastic in it. I'm always pushing it because I have a curvier (yeah, curvy, that's what I am! lol) body and knits like this don't always flow well on me.

Suz

Absolutely gorgeous. I have some of their other tunic tanks in my Finds but this one is more drapey and easier to wear in transitional weather than the others. Love this whole outfit!

I saw this tunic when I was in the store in Toronto when Una was here. They had it in a wine colour that was great.

abc

I love this, esp with the wrap over the top and how the shoes pick up the tones.

But wait, I thought you were gonna wear the tall booties today??!!

Aida

Loooove Especially as in #3 with the big wrap, that's brilliant dramatic. And the fact that you wore light shoes totally seals the deal for me ^^ The tunic looks super on you, and will certainly also look fab with skinnies+tall boots as necessary later in winter. Definitely enjoy being able to pair with flares while you can!

I love that sweater and the proportions with the bootcuts are fab. I had a thing for the blanket wrap poncho thingy last year and your pic just reminded me that I still do. Really nice use of texture and pattern to give a monochromatic outfit great interest.

Marilyn

This is a really great look, Lisa.
I've been flip flopping on the whole tunic sweater vest thing....not sure if I can pull it off.....but I'm getting more inspired to order a petite size from BR to give it a try.

You look Killer Stunning, Lisa. The drama of the wrap REALLY suits you. The jewellery makes it a very YOU outfit. And the pattern mixed footwear makes the look for me. Softer and prettier. WELL DONE.

And aren't a pair of well fitting flares sported at the right length just sooooo elegant. LOVE.

Sal

It is very elegant Lisa.
You have been sporting some awesome looks recently. You suit flares well, so you will have to repeat this outfit again whilst you have the perfect weather for it.

Me- just sitting here still in my active wear

Sveta

Love! Lisa, every time you post WIW I swoon!
Maybe I need to check out Aritzia too? But I am afraid it will be too short for me anyway.
The shoes and wrap are perfect for this look.

Thanks very much ladies - I so appreciate all your comments and thoughts. I would never be sporting things like flared pants if it weren't for YLF pushing me out of my comfort zone when I need it ! I was very pleasantly surprised to see how versatile this tunic sweater thing will be - I can even wear it over a skirt (if I ever manage to buy one - lol)! I was mentally styling it with some Lululemon skirted leggings and black suede Adidas Gazelles for the weekend .

Angie - I will not take credit for the length of the pants. I bought them last year and wore them out of the store:) Lucky that they worked as every other flare pant or jean out there is about 6 inches too long !

Jaime

Gorgeous - love the shoes and the wrap with this.

Lisap, you've outdone yourself with this one. It's just beyond! Thanks for the inspiration.

CocoLion

So elegant! I'm impressed. I especially like the subtle layering with the white top underneath mirroring the split of the tunic.

Cerinda

Love everything about it, especially the snake shoes!!

Beth

Sleek and super polished. I love this!

Beth Ann

Sleek and polished! Love the way you bookend your light hair with lighter booties. And yes, indeed, some items in our closets should be allowed to be purely "transitional." I have a couple of items that I only wear a few times in Spring or Fall.
