Battle of the blue cardis

cciele

Cascading cardigans -- I love the look, and wanted to find one that would work for me; most button-up cardis make me look really bulky on top. I found two contenders, both blue: One drapier. One brighter. Which one will win?

I like the drapeyness (is that a word-you know what i mean of the second one. Would you be able to get the arms shortened? they look a tad long on both items x

I was going to say the same thing as Loulou. Blue is a beautiful color on you! I love especially like the color of the first sweater, but the fit of the second.

I like the 2nd one better overall ... it looks a little more cascading, while the first looks a little more conventional, though I do like that color. Cool boots!

If you are after the cascading look, the second one is your best bet. The first one is a great color.

I like the second one best. Hee, I'm also experimenting with flowy cardis today.

Hands down #2. Sweet! I really like this look for you.

Are you petite, cc? That cardi is super long in the sleeves. Should be an easy alteration job.

Looks like contender 2 wins! I also like the color of the first one, but the second one IRL is not as dark as in the photos. It's funny, they are both pima cotton + modal, but the 2nd one (Splendid) is soooo much silkier than the 1st one (Old Navy).

I definitely need to get the sleeves hemmed! I am nominally a petite (5'3"); I do have short arms but a broad chest.

Wow they both look lovely, but the drapiness of #2 is definitely a winner!!!!

I really love the way it looks with that necklace!
