First the Butterick 5760 Cardigan, blogged about here.
Pictures of me wearing it along with Vogue 1250 top and the wool crepe brown pants ~ all are part of The City in Winter Wardrobe.
The Vogue 1250 top was blogged about here.
This is one of my favorite summer dress patterns so it was about time that I shortened it and made it into a top.
This outfit is a holdover from a few weeks ago but this was my first opportunity to get pictures of me actually wearing it...and I have to tell you I was surprised by the weight and warmth of the cardigan. Since this is my fourth make using this pattern, I never bothered to try it on during the construction process. This combo is professional yet sassy and will keep me warm yet not so warm that I won't wear it...essentially it's perfect!
...as always more later!

Love the new trio.
I'm loving the set. I hadn't realized the cardigan was longer.
These look fabulous together! This will be a lovely collection,
I love that cardigan. I hadn't realized it was that long. You could almost make it into a dress at that length. Love the 1250 as a top. g
You'd never know those pieces didn't come from a high-end department store. Bravo, Carolyn, for giving us all something to strive for in our sewing!
You have worked these pieces together well, and they look extremely stylish. Gives me lots of ideas....
I have made up this cardigan but the extra length is great (might have to steal that idea from you) - the whole ensemble looks fabulous on you
Nice combination, this collection is very inspiring!
Yes, perfect for the city in winter! The collection looks very smart and comfortable to wear as well... WIN!
This is a great outfit! The pants and top are very figure flattering. Your waist looks defined, but still comfy. The taper on the pants is just right too.
Perfect!!!!
Such an elegant looking cardigan, I really like the leather trimming.
That cardigan is fantastic.
The top and pants looks beautiful on you. I know you love dressess; however I will like to see you sew more tops and pants. I think you look great!
Very elegant and flattering!
Did you lengthen that cardigan? It is really nice. I like how you adjusted the patterns to suit your needs
Great pieces Carolyn! Your collection is really coming together! I especially love the cardigan - it looks like a classy but cozy piece!
Great outfit! Definitely professional with pizazz!
Love that cardigan. And what a great idea to take a favourite dress and turn it into a favourite top. I liked the twist on the ivory blouse that you gave to Vogue 1250. You're so very creative! :)
Oh my goodness...you look so SASSY in this classic little number! I love it! All three pieces and the shoes too! You're so right...the photos do speak for themselves! ...and they're saying GORGEOUS!
I love this top with the cardigan!
You have so many beautiful outfits - I bet you can go a month without wearing the same thing twice.
I wear the same things over and over! What is your secret? LOL
Did you say that you are not a model? I don't believe that. The modeling in this post and your last post is awesome. The outfits are awesome, too. They look so comfortable and chic. I suspect that you will wear them a lot.
I like the outfit, and I love that top!
I love this outfit! I just bought the cardi pattern and can't wait to cut it out. You look beautiful! Love love love the top, too!
I love your cardigan - everything :) enjoy wearing your new pieces!
Great Wardrobe builder. And again, my fall colors in full effect. Loving the whole ensemble
Gorgeous ensemble. Love that faux leather detail! Just purchased that cardi pattern myself. Looking forward to using it now!!
The pictures spoke classy, well-dressed lady. Carolyn, I'm always stalking you on Flickr seeing what you will blog about next. Your wardrobe planning is superb. Good inspiration. Have a wonderful weekend.
