Just be warned, if it works out like this thread you may have to keep them both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardigan-face-off#post-86202 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 18:05:23 +0000 Anonymous 86202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good, I am so glad you can keep both because they really are quite different in style and I think some days you will pick out one as the perfect cardigan and then another day the other one will be the perfect choice.<br /> I am going through the very same ordeal with black boots, which pair to keep. I should post pics and let you all help me. One pair is the one that Angie posted about which then a bunch of us bought, then I ordered a pair of Frye boots for half price which are also calf height. Now I have 2 pair of calf height boots that are black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardigan-face-off#post-86033 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 23:56:35 +0000 medusa 86033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. People in the thread are split, just like I am split. I'm thinking of keeping both - I realized that my black long cardigan is something I wear all the time. Even this summer I've worn it on average 2 days a week. So if I keep them both I'll go from 1 long cardigan to 3 and have more wardrobe diversity, especially this winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardigan-face-off#post-86012 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 19:21:07 +0000 Sarah 86012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Nordstrom one better, but I like the color of the FP one. Maybe return both since you aren't 100% sure and find one like the second in the color from the first? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardigan-face-off#post-86011 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 19:04:42 +0000 NCYogini4 86011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm partial to the free people one. It's a little more fun &#38; interesting. I also must say that you are so pretty and have the cutest haircut! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardigan-face-off#post-85986 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 15:37:19 +0000 Anonymous 85986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both brown and grey on you but like the first sweater better. The collar is an interesting detail and I prefer the finer gauge knit. If you wear cardies a lot, can you keep them both? I had a similar problem last year after bringing home two similar long purple cardies, kept both and was glad I did. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardigan-face-off#post-85919 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 05:22:06 +0000 Lena 85919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Medusa, I LOVE your haircut! Super fab! </p> <p>As for the cardigan, I prefer the length and style of the FP on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardigan-face-off#post-85695 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 14:04:57 +0000 Louise 85695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the colour and style of the first one x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardigan-face-off#post-85648 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 07:46:46 +0000 rute 85648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well.. I have a problem, because I prefer the Nordstrom, but I don't like the collar.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardigan-face-off#post-85636 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 04:49:55 +0000 bella 85636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote Nordstrom, I think the collar is more flattering buttoned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardigan-face-off#post-85624 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 03:52:03 +0000 marianne 85624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Vince style better, but still not crazy about brown. You can probably jazz it up, but you also mentioned that it was $$, so I am not sure it's worth it.<br /> I don't like the sleeves on FP cardigan and the chunkiness. It looks like it might lose shape quickly. What is the yarn content?<br /> Your hair in fantastic, you're lucky to have found a hairstyle that works better than accessories! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardigan-face-off#post-85617 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 03:40:08 +0000 chewyspaghetti 85617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color and length of the FP one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardigan-face-off#post-85612 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 03:33:54 +0000 Anonymous 85612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you are so, so, so, pretty and your hair cut is fabulous!! Love it.<br /> Both sweaters are equaly gorgeous so keep the one that is less in $.<br /> Love San </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardigan-face-off#post-85610 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 03:33:15 +0000 marianna 85610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote Free People. I like the two buttons at the top and it looks cooler in general. But I love FP so I'm biased. :)</p> <p>I LOVE your haircut! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardigan-face-off#post-85603 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 03:23:48 +0000 cciele 85603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dunno, they are similar yet different! Can you keep both? ;)</p> <p>I think the Nordstrom one looks more versatile because of the long sleeves, buttons, and finer gauge knit.</p> <p>The Free People one is more fun, but it looks like it is pulling a bit at your chest when it is buttoned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardigan-face-off#post-85595 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 02:48:17 +0000 shana 85595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color of the FP one and I agree that it is funkier. However, I also find it kind of bulky looking. I'm not so good at judging sweaters like this so maybe someone else will have better input. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardigan-face-off#post-85587 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 01:04:49 +0000 medusa 85587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I posted earlier that I was unsure about keeping the long cardigan from the Nordstrom sale. Well, yesterday I came across another one. So they're having a face-off to see which is better!</p> <p>1. Free People long cardigan, dark gray color.<br /> Unbuttoned:<br /> <a href="http://s605.photobucket.com/albums/tt133/medusa_style/shopping%20trip/?action=view&#038;current=CIMG0868.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s605.photobucket.com/al.....MG0868.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://s605.photobucket.com/albums/tt133/medusa_style/shopping%20trip/?action=view&#038;current=CIMG0870.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s605.photobucket.com/al.....MG0870.jpg</a><br /> Buttoned:<br /> <a href="http://s605.photobucket.com/albums/tt133/medusa_style/shopping%20trip/?action=view&#038;current=CIMG0871.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s605.photobucket.com/al.....MG0871.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://s605.photobucket.com/albums/tt133/medusa_style/shopping%20trip/?action=view&#038;current=CIMG0873.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s605.photobucket.com/al.....MG0873.jpg</a></p> <p>2. Nordstrom long cadigan, brown color. (Several people commented they didn't like the brown.)<br /> Unbuttoned:<br /> <a href="http://s605.photobucket.com/albums/tt133/medusa_style/shopping%20trip/?action=view&#038;current=CIMG0880.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s605.photobucket.com/al.....MG0880.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://s605.photobucket.com/albums/tt133/medusa_style/shopping%20trip/?action=view&#038;current=CIMG0882.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s605.photobucket.com/al.....MG0882.jpg</a><br /> Buttoned:<br /> <a href="http://s605.photobucket.com/albums/tt133/medusa_style/shopping%20trip/?action=view&#038;current=CIMG0886.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s605.photobucket.com/al.....MG0886.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://s605.photobucket.com/albums/tt133/medusa_style/shopping%20trip/?action=view&#038;current=CIMG0888.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s605.photobucket.com/al.....MG0888.jpg</a></p> <p>Now that I look at the pictures, they seem very similar. The Free People one is knit from chunkier yarn and has some cabling around the neck, has shorter sleeves, is longer overall, and only has buttons at the top. I think the Free People one is maybe slightly more funky. </p>
