Thanks for all the feedback ladies! Fun to hear everyone's outfit preferences. #6-8 were most popular ^^ From a wearing-it perspective, my favorites were #1, #7 and #9. In addition to trying a version with the orange kick crops I also want to try a very voluminous version over my navy culottes
Sharan, it took me a long time to find a cropped enough sweater for this look! Two years I searched, and randomly found this at Plato's Closet -- and it's from Target The sweater is basically too short to wear with anything else, other than truuuuuly high waisted bottoms but it's just so good with this look that I am OK with its limited function in my wardrobe. Perhaps try a petite top?
Skylurker, as with all these outfit formulas there's some leeway, so definitely using a knee-length tunic would shift the proportions pretty dramatically especially if you're shorter (I'm 5'3") as does using a longer topper. That more dramatic rendition is a little tougher to get, I think.
Smittie, I had to go back and look for the pattern mix in #4! My mix affinity is soooo high I actually consider that a fully solid outfit
Sara, give the formula a try with a longer jacket!
