I tried this cardigan during the NAS but the pockets made it super lumpy on me for some reason. I'm not seeing that on you at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-get-my-sweater-too-small#post-1378233 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 03:09:34 +0000 unfrumped 1378233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions. I'm afraid it's the pear shape and the cardi style, which is too straight for me if it fits in the shoulders. . I was planning more for unbuttoned since that looks less, well , buttoned up, but still. I've never belted an UNbuttoned cardi, but I've admired that on others.<br /> It is likely going to be less versatile than I intended, but I'll put together some of the best outfits for it, keeping things in proportion. I do love the color.<br /> Janet, I got the shirt at a second hand shop on a trip this summer. I figured it was some year's vintage but would be fun for casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-get-my-sweater-too-small#post-1378143 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 00:05:25 +0000 carter 1378143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about buttoned and belted with a more voluminous bottom like a pleated skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-get-my-sweater-too-small#post-1378138 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 23:56:54 +0000 always trying 1378138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a good fit both ways.&nbsp; Personally I much prefer cardis unbuttoned over tops like the shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-get-my-sweater-too-small#post-1378090 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 23:11:50 +0000 Sveta 1378090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like a classic and not fluid fit. Definitely unbuttoned is the way to go.<br />Lovely color for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-get-my-sweater-too-small#post-1378083 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 23:07:15 +0000 Carole 1378083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks like a good fit, but not the roomier BF fit that you might be after. Could you exchange it for a larger size? Pretty color:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-get-my-sweater-too-small#post-1378077 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 23:01:41 +0000 Anonymous 1378077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks a tad tight when buttoned. I'm seeing whiskering/pulling&nbsp;that indicates it's a bit too small. That said, it looks fine unbuttoned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-get-my-sweater-too-small#post-1378067 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:54:09 +0000 Mellllls 1378067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>how about unbuttoned over a pencil skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-get-my-sweater-too-small#post-1378061 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:53:02 +0000 Tanya 1378061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Janet, it looks like a classic, tailored fit.&nbsp; I actually prefer more fluid fits on longer cardigans; but on regular length like yours tailored fit looks just about right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-get-my-sweater-too-small#post-1378053 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:45:14 +0000 Janet 1378053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the fit looks nice -- tailored but not tight. As long as it layers nicely, I don't see a problem with it. You can wear it open for a bit more fluid look.&nbsp;</p> <p>I recognize that paisley -- I have that same JCrew shirt from a couple of years ago!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-get-my-sweater-too-small#post-1378041 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 22:31:48 +0000 unfrumped 1378041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got this Halogen merino cardigan at the NAS. I thought I had sized it fluidly at the time but didn't order more than one size to try, and&nbsp; &nbsp;wasn't really thinking oversized or BF fit for it.<br />Now when I put it on it seems awfully fitted compared to what my "eye" is getting used to. Even more than when I bought it (though I've not changed, of course!) I wish I'd tried it a size up. Too late now.</p> <p>I re-posted my old photos of it--I probably would wear it more with pencil skirts than pants, for layering warmth and for color with neutrals, and could try layering it over a more fluid tank or T and wear open,&nbsp; not buttoned, to relax the look more.<br />But, does it just look "off" now?&nbsp; Or how would you&nbsp;style &nbsp;it as a more classic fit cardigan than the more trendy BF styles, to make it work. </p> <p>Any suggestions welcome. </p>
