Grr!!!</p> <p>Maya I agree the mulberry purple does look fairly blue on the screen. There is also a grape colour, but that looks too brown. The swatch of the cosmic purple looks almost pink, but the actual picture of it does look like a true purple, but maybe a bit lighter than I am after.</p> <p>This is what I'd ideally like to find:</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sweetchy/2388528662/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/sweetchy/2388528662/</a></p> <p>Yum hey!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-boyfriend-cardies#post-214798 Sun, 12 Sep 2010 03:45:51 +0000 Maya 214798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa found that top for me, then picked it up for herself. I have the magnified herringbone in black and white, but it looks just as good in the purpley blue color. It's a great top, especially for hot weather, which I know is coming up for you.</p> <p>Also it says dry clean but I machine wash and hang dry. No problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-boyfriend-cardies#post-214787 Sun, 12 Sep 2010 03:07:40 +0000 bella 214787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am pretty sure Lisa was wearing that top today in Magnified Herringbone Print. It looks super duper! Don't wait until it's sold out, grab it while you can! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-boyfriend-cardies#post-214711 Sun, 12 Sep 2010 01:38:52 +0000 Maya 214711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I just noticed the Halogen cardi comes in a brighter purple. My kind of purple! But possibly not yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-boyfriend-cardies#post-214709 Sun, 12 Sep 2010 01:37:25 +0000 Barbara 214709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That Halogen sweater is gorgeous. I LOVE purple! I've been searching for the perfect BF cardi, and now I've found it. Thanks for posting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-boyfriend-cardies#post-214705 Sun, 12 Sep 2010 01:33:16 +0000 Maya 214705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Halogen cardigan is lovely but it does register as almost blue on my screen. Do you like warmer reddish purples or cooler bluish purples, Tam? If blusih/cool, go for the Halogen one. If warmish/red, I'd go for the ATL one.</p> <p>The Boden one looks a little dusty so I'd pass on that all together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-boyfriend-cardies#post-214568 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 20:33:37 +0000 Inge 214568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That Halogen cardigan looks perfect, Tam. Such a fantastic shade of purple! Can't help you with the top, but I think you should get that too;-)</p> <p>Great to see you here again, I saw on your blog that you've been working crazy hours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-boyfriend-cardies#post-214310 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 07:35:10 +0000 An 214310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't really add anything to the cardi debate except I like the purple of the Halogen cardi and think it would look great on you. Glad you are back, missed you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-boyfriend-cardies#post-214306 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 07:15:43 +0000 yublocka 214306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like Halogen is winning in votes so far! Of course if I am forced to order from Nordstrom I am going to be super tempted to throw in a few other items too. Forexample this top:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3093784" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3093784</a></p> <p>Has anyone seen what the Magnified Herringbone Print looks like? It's the only colour still available in M.</p> <p>Hmmm!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-boyfriend-cardies#post-214257 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 03:40:56 +0000 Sparky 214257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got that Halogen BF cardi earlier this week (in Lyons blue). I love it. It has a great drape, is 100% merino wool yet soft, and fits perfectly (I got a petite size) ~ not too long, not too tight, etc. It seems really well made. So I vote for Halogen! I didn't look carefully at all the colors though, so can't give you good feedback on the one you're interested in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-boyfriend-cardies#post-214179 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 02:09:08 +0000 Sveta 214179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would also say that Halogen one is the best quality as it is merino wool. Isn't it the one Lisa got in blue? I vote Halogen!<br /> Nagging myself: I need BF cardigan too!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-boyfriend-cardies#post-214177 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 02:04:57 +0000 Anonymous 214177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw the Halogen ones at the store and they looked great. The ones I saw were on the sale rack so may be a past season offering. There were different colors and a purple but maybe not the same purple. They seemed a good length and generously cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-boyfriend-cardies#post-214162 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 01:42:40 +0000 yublocka 214162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi guys,</p> <p>Long time no post I know! I've just been working heaps, and haven't had time to keep up with the forum, let alone post.</p> <p>One thing I have noted in my few forays into the fab new forum look is Angie's post about the ATL boyfriend cardie. I have been on the lookout for a purple BF cardie for nearly a year. I've finally got a few options to pick from! Has anyone seen/tried any of these on? I don't know which one to go for!</p> <p>1. <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3064181?refsid=297569&#038;refcat=0~2376776~2378685~2378691~2378724&#038;SourceID=&#038;SlotID=1&#038;origin=related&#038;cm_Sp=Related-Items-_-Product-_-Auto" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....uct-_-Auto</a> (Mulberyy Purple)</p> <p>2. <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Knitwear/Cardigans/WK582/Womens-Boyfriend-Cardigan.html?NavGroupID=6" rel="nofollow">http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/.....vGroupID=6</a> (Aubergine)</p> <p>3. <a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=26856&#038;N=1200006&#038;pCategoryId=3359&#038;categoryId=200&#038;Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_200&#038;loc=TN&#038;gridSize=sm&#038;showAll=true&#038;defaultColor=Dark%20Grey%20Melange&#038;defaultSizeType=Regular" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....pe=Regular</a> (Wildberry)</p> <p>I'm thinking the Halogen one is the most purply, so am tempted to go for that one.
