Gorgeous top! I want it myself!

I like the cardi from the front but agree it's rather shapeless from the back. BUT that's the nature of the beast I think.

Aren't you petite? Do you think the proportions are for a taller person?

Love love love the metallic top on you! I'm on the fence about the cardigan - something doesn't seem right but I can't put my finger on it. Maybe if you had lighter bottoms or shoes? But things look different in real life so take this with a grain of salt.

Love the top, but the coat--not so much. You carry off the drama of a long sweater coat beautifully, but the color and drape of this one is making me pause. It does look cosy, but, in my books, that alone isn't suffcient reason to add an item to my wardrobe. I think your son made the right call on this one.

The top is gorgeous. The sweater definitely reads as more of a coat. Just not sure it has the fabulous flair I think of with your style. Out of the box isn't a bad thing though , do its all down to how versatile it feels to you.

The metallic top is wonderful on you!

Adding my voice to the chorus who think the sweater is close but not quite the right one for you. I like the color and texture very much but my very first reaction to the picture was that it's too long on you. It covers too much of your legs/trousers.

Thanking you all for your wise input! I am returning the cardigan. It's close to what I am wanting but it's not a 10. Back it goes.

And Angie, that is the small size in the metallic top:)
