Suz- next!<br /> Alaskagirl, that's what's frustrating about GH- shipping! Got a free code but I'll have to pay to send back. Now some are on sale but no free ship. It makes me resist experimenting as much with their stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gh-big-sweater-reject-milly-find-wiw-for-fall#post-1363166 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 04:30:53 +0000 catgirl 1363166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally agree with your decisions.&nbsp; </p> <p>I have one of the GH sweaters from a couple of years ago. It's basically a big square.&nbsp; Some sweaters like this work and some don't, maybe depending on exact proportions of it and you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gh-big-sweater-reject-milly-find-wiw-for-fall#post-1363150 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 04:15:15 +0000 Suz 1363150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The camel one is lovely on you. What a beautiful shape! It looks as if if will be very versatile. Great purchase.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's a shame about the Garnet Hill one. I understand the attraction from the stock photo; it looks texturally interesting, too. And the colour is lovely. But you're right -- you can even see from the photo that the drape isn't right somehow. So, onwards!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gh-big-sweater-reject-milly-find-wiw-for-fall#post-1363039 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 01:47:33 +0000 Anonymous 1363039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The camel one is great! It seems like a really rich shade too, not flat like camel can sometimes look.&nbsp;I like the other one too and don't see maternity at all, but probably good to pass if you didn't love it. Especially if it's itchy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gh-big-sweater-reject-milly-find-wiw-for-fall#post-1363012 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 00:51:24 +0000 abc 1363012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree the camel one is better. I like how they styled the GH one with a layer underneath but if you'd be wearing it alone I agree it's probably not a 10. I'd be curious to see it with a slimmer fit bottom though bc with the skirt I think the proportion is off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gh-big-sweater-reject-milly-find-wiw-for-fall#post-1362983 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 00:11:33 +0000 unfrumped 1362983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still can't get the WIW photo to work even though re-created it. It loads but then can't be opened. Hmm.<br />Thanks for comments. I did some browsing in local boutiques that I don't frequent as often to see if there were some fun sweaters or other items I could try IRL since it's a pain to order online and not know size, colors (except Nordie's!). Have to grapple with idea that some of the more interesting sweaters are pricey, things are not on sale,&nbsp;but &nbsp;I'm not wearing warm sweaters yet so could wait vs. sizes will be gone (the&nbsp;small shops&nbsp;have small inventories) . The Milly sweater I just knew was something I'd been looking for, and used it as a benchmark for being PPP on other items that weren't just so. The good thing is that I have found&nbsp; a few sources of&nbsp;interesting &nbsp;brands outside my usual haunts (AT, and mall stores, &nbsp;I'm looking at you!) where there might not be something <u>now</u> but there might be another time..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gh-big-sweater-reject-milly-find-wiw-for-fall#post-1362928 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 22:34:58 +0000 Janet 1362928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color of the GH sweater, but the shape of the one you got is nicer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gh-big-sweater-reject-milly-find-wiw-for-fall#post-1362923 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 22:30:14 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1362923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the new sweater! That shape is fantastic on you. It's one I really like to wear, too. It's too bad the Garnet Hill one didn't work out. Good that you tried it, though, because now you know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gh-big-sweater-reject-milly-find-wiw-for-fall#post-1362913 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 22:12:33 +0000 unfrumped 1362913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, the WIW is not loading;; will try again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gh-big-sweater-reject-milly-find-wiw-for-fall#post-1362911 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 22:10:00 +0000 unfrumped 1362911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;I had to go ahead and try this<br /> Garnet Hill big sweater (1-stock photo and 2-3) because it looked like it might have a nice boxy fit in<br /> the stock photo and is in beautiful colors. Was worried I might even be tempted to dupe in other colors. But&nbsp;&nbsp;it’s very large at the hem level and reads more<br /> A-line/tent/maternity &nbsp;on me, and is long. May not project well but it doesn't drape or move right for what I want in a "big" sweater. Ironically the neckline is not too large to work.</p> <p>The other thing is that it is itchy, and I even have some tolerance for that. I had<br /> it on, and then changed to a Talbot’s cashmere sweater for a comparison, and<br /> what a difference. I think even the Talbots could be softer, to be perfectly<br /> picky, yet it was like putting on something cooling after the GH sweater. So no<br /> go, and now I can move on.</p> <p>4-5: Also shown is&nbsp; merino sweater by Milly. The only photo I<br /> have is over a shirt, but mostly would wear not-layered, though sometimes with<br /> a scarf. Camel is&nbsp; a color I really like<br /> to have in my wardrobe even though it’s not a “best” color, and is really better<br /> if it can be “cool camel” . However, it’s JFE and useful because it gives me a<br /> lighter neutral that’s not gray, and is a substrate for accessories in berries<br /> and teals, goes with black pants and other colors. I think &nbsp;the curved “cocoon”<br /> style is “me”&nbsp; and gives me length for<br /> some bottoms without the horizontal line, and it goes with a host of bottoms. This merino knit is very comfortable,<br /> almost cotton-y (but very warm!).</p> <p>6: Finally is a WIW pushing fall by starting<br /> to wear tights and a scarf already--a differnent&nbsp;camel sweater with AT black/tan false plain skirt, brown tights, Munro oxfords. Sweater is&nbsp;a mesh cotton I wore<br /> during summer, good for transitional weather and a HEWI style &nbsp;and length —have not been able to find just these proportions. </p>
