That would be for multiple reasons: “ paying for the rhinestones” , risk if I misunderestimated whether I could remove them without damage, and also it’s still a bit of a “ novelty sweater,” or statement, due to pattern. But I wanted to try using it to lighten my color palette at an affordable price and see if that reinforces being more picky about specific colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/de--embellishing-sweater-wins-the-day#post-1892902 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 16:46:29 +0000 LaPed 1892902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice pattern!

I passed on that sweater last week at a B&amp;M Talbots for the same reason. I might have to pop in next time. I’ve decided cashmere sweaters are essentials for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/de--embellishing-sweater-wins-the-day#post-1892883 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 15:46:15 +0000 Thistle 1892883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous sweater, but I avoided it because of those rhinestones. I loved the berry colors, but the rhinestones really turned me off.</p> <p>Hadn't occurred to me to take them off.

Good work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/de--embellishing-sweater-wins-the-day#post-1892774 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 04:42:46 +0000 unfrumped 1892774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not sure I noticed this Talbot’s sweater initially this season, but if I had immsure the rhinestone embellishments at the neckline would have turned me away.<br /> I saw it in store recently, on sale of course. Earlier this year I got some burgundy trousers , and also got more interested in having more of my favorite berry-toned colors, and softer versions of these colors, in my wardrobe instead of the sea of black and gray ( see Style Goals).<br /> I usually avoid print sweaters except less expensive cotton ones, but this mix of colors is very good for me and al for some reason the plaid- type print looks better than the paisleys and other prints.<br /> So I looked closely at the embellishment and saw that the rhinestone thingies were sewn on with thread that has some ease in it, and not all the way through the cashmere knit, meaning, it did not look like it would tear up the sweater to remove them. </p> <p>So, that’s what I did. Other than being tedious ( there are 2 rows of this beading around the entire neckline), it was very easy and the sweater is fine underneath.<br /> So, now I have an un- embellished sweater in favorite colors that goes with many bottoms, including combinations that give a tonal color look!<br /> I don’t plan to make a habit of this but it’s interesting to consider. The knit and the print make it more likely for sewing- removal to be unnoticeable. </p>
