Ruffled Sweater With Bootcut Jeans!

I was so enthralled by Angie's post today, I just HAD to try the combination of a trendy pullover with bootcut jeans right away!

Well, my pullovers are still in storage. All I have on hand is this 2-piece set that's actually a fine knit tank with a matching open cardigan that has ruffles. So this is what I paired together!

Honestly, I never liked this sweater with skinny jeans. It just looked 'off' somehow. So it hasn't been worn too much (maybe one odd time in 2 years). But I do love it worn like this!

What do you guys think?

ETA: Added a close up for ruffle detail since Suz mentioned it's not clear.

Looks great! The vertical line and low contrast = win/win!

I love that color on you-- I like the long necklace with the tank-- not sure on the cardi, but I have to admit that I'm not a ruffle fan, which is probably why.

Love the dark blue with black and the ruffles with your bootcuts. A great example of a variation on Angie's post. YLF

Hello you! LOVING the colours! I think you look great

Love the colors as well. Dark blue suits you very well. I prefer the first two looks to the last two. The reason being that the addition of the cardigan makes it look more traditional and less modern. This said, all look great on you.

Colours are beautiful and rich on you! It's hard on my small screen to see the ruffle detail but I take your word for it.

Thanks everyone! Suz I added another pic. Can you see the details now?! Sometimes my phone takes such dark pictures!

Manny I'd love to see this with a coloured shoe... maybe try a couple of diff shoes with this when you wear it next...something with a hint of cobalt or nude.... and then see if it makes a difference. Looking at the last image you just attached, I feel maybe a diff colour shoe would look lovely...maybe...not sure!

Beautiful! That color blue is stunning on you.

I love the color combination of the blue and black. The cardigan looks good on you and the ruffles are interesting. The twinset look is more classic than the outfit with just the tank and necklace, so you have some options when wearing this combo.

I like it a lot but I also like the ladylike twin set so I may be out of sync with the fashion world. Another option would be to wear a black tank under the sweater to create a column of color to showcase the blue - which is a fantastic color for you.

You're so right Cheryle! It's like you read my mind! I got the twinset because I find it very versatile. I do wear the tank alone...I rarely wear the two together. I love the tank inside blazers too! And yes, I'd love to wear a black tank with black pants and let the blue of the cardi shine. I've always been a bit out of sync with trending fashion too I happily wear something classic without a care...I suspect it may be because I'm still young and wasn't even born in the 70s, so more classic lady-like pieces don't age me much.

Ankita, I wear black pants with black shoes to lengthen my leg line. Yes, my shoes disappear into these pants and you can't tell them apart from one another...but that's the point. It's how 5'4" me can look tall! Well....Atleast look 'tall-er' and hence more proportionate However I do wear nude pumps with these pants when I wear a light colour top....and would love to try my burgundy leather pumps (which are divine looking btw) with these too....if I can choose the right top!

It's amazing how a pair of different bottoms can change up the look of a top. Nicely done, Maneera. You are radiant in that shade of blue.

Thank you so much Angie! And I can't THANK YOU enough for today's post! Really....I could kiss you right now

I also have this lovely sea green peplum cardigan in a fine knit that I wear only closed all the way....and I can't wait to wear it with bootcuts like you showed us on the blog today. Ankita always made fun of that sweater.....she called it my Riding Frock (coz I had on riding boots too) But that means I'll be right on-trend in that sweater this year! Woohoo!

You look beautiful! I think the ruffle, textural detail on the twinset makes it look more modern than the old librarian version. Good news for me because I love the concept but I gave my plainer ones away a few years ago and thought the twinset option was over.

Ha, I was thinking - but where's the ruffle? Until I got to pics 5-6 -- oh, THERE they are! So pretty in this shade of blue, my lovely Manny. And of course I am a sucker for a long necklace like that too. Looking fab as usual. Have a fab evening

I like this a lot with the bootcut. Those jeans really make the twinset look modern.

What a gorgeous combination on you. The color is wonderful and the fun and flirty look suits you perfectly.

Jenn, I agree. The twinset was pretty hard to wear together before this. I suspect it's going to get a lot more wear this year, as I can wear these blues with white jeans too.

Thanks Jaime! These dark blues are turning out to be one of my best colours!

You look so elegant and chic. The shoes and your lovely hair are the icing on the cake!
