I have a lot of sweaters that will be broken up into two posts today.
~ Mixed Stitch Blanket Sweater, Small ~
I liked the fit of this through the body but the arms where it joins to the sweater was tight. It was so constricting I couldn’t raise my arms above my head. The sweater just seems to have been woven pretty tight. I saw this on a store employee and made a comment about it and she said she noticed the same thing but that it did stretch out after a little while. I have the Merino Fair Isle Sweater (Factory) that has the same colors so I passed on this.
~ Oversize Sweatshirt in Exploded Floral, Small ~
This is another trendy, oversized, drop-shoulder, graphic sweatshirt. The small was still roomy enough to layer another shirt underneath. It was pretty cozy though. I have enough sweatshirts in my closet I currently wear.
~ Sparkle Side-Slit Sweater, Pink Sparkle, Medium ~
This sweater was on a table with the Navy Sparkle. I don’t have a lot of pink in my closet and thought this would be fun for the Holidays. I liked the sparkle. I liked the underside that was made with a cotton yarn on the inside making it comfortable. I was worried the metallic yarn would be inside as well and then be itchy. The pink is a nice color too.
And then it become a hot mess. Avoid if you have any chest at all. You can see it fits like a tent once it hits the chest on me. I can’t get over how large this made me look from the side. And the slit on the side was to the armpit so a layer is required.
Here’s the underside of the sweater, soft cotton.
~ Woven-Front Cardigan, Small ~
I have liked this cardigan since I first saw it in the store. I sized to a small and it still felt really comfortable. I will layer this over the Silk Sleeveless Blouse and Tissue Turtlelnecks.
I know that some of these will look great on some ladies but I just didn’t think these were flattering or different enough to come home with me.
Follow me on…
Love the woven front cardigan! I bought it for myself and sized down one. It looks great in you !
