While I like this, I wouldbe so intereted to see the larger size as Ange suggests. I know we talk about the larger sizes coming in but I am keen to see them in action... as for the itch, that would be a non negotiable for me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-797036 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 20:23:11 +0000 Amy 797036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, it was the lighting in the other photo. That grey does look good on you. I wish I looked as good in this sweater as you do! Perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796956 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 16:10:03 +0000 Angie 796956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a plan! </p> <p>I don't think the petite will work because the regular is the right length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796951 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 16:00:52 +0000 Suz 796951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie. I am going to try to see if they have the small in stock in my store and will post some pics for comparison! If they don't have it, I may just keep this one because the ordering situation was so tricky. Possibly my best size would be small petite (which I suspect would be somewhere between regular small and xs except a bit shorter) ...but for that I would have to order again. Which I am willing to do, of course, if that is what we discover! Just that it will mean a bit more waiting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796943 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 15:52:13 +0000 Angie 796943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm even colder when I'm in NYC during Winter! I wear thermals every day in that neck of the woods. </p> <p>Suz, you're right. The band on this jumper is fitted, and not oversized. The band on my jumper stands away from my body. That said, you might prefer it that way. I am just curious to see the larger size because the oversized look is more fashion forward, if that makes sense :). You might very well stick with this size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796920 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 15:31:02 +0000 TraceyLiz65 796920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So in love with the jeans that haven't arrived and think they would pair nicely with this sweater. It really is a great shade of grey for you. I wonder what size up would look like too, as I like this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796856 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 13:14:13 +0000 Mona 796856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sweater on you. I think the colour and size are just perfect. Wonder what size up would look like? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796530 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 00:46:39 +0000 Suz 796530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well...I might run warm, Angie. I do know that I run warmer than you. I think it also depends on the *kind* of cold we have. The cold in Seattle is DAMP. In Ontario it tends to be dry in the winter (although not always). Anyway, more like New York and Boston, at least where I live (except colder and longer winters). But inside, with central hea,t it can get very warm and staticky - another complaint from YLF members. We keep our house on the cool side, but even so....</p> <p>This is the XS regular. I can see if they have S in the store here tomorrow and do some comparison shots. This does not feel at all "oversize" to me although it is obviously a loose sweater. But the sleeves are not long, the neck not large, etc. It is pretty much what my regular size is, although in Gap I might ordinarily wear a petite (depending on the product). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796461 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 23:52:39 +0000 Angie 796461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colour is great. WOW! You found your perfect grey! </p> <p>I'd have also liked to see a size up Suz, but this looks really nice too :)</p> <p>Which size did you get? </p> <p>ps. I don't find this jumper all that warm - do I run that cold?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796440 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 23:17:10 +0000 Sara L. 796440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on you. I think you might look overwhelmed in a larger size. Too bad about the jeans - I agree that that outfit would be fantastic for a holiday party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796439 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 23:16:53 +0000 Suz 796439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it might work fine with long sleeves underneath or even on a cooler day here, Zap. I don't have super sensitive skin but I do have some reactivity. So your mileage may vary, of course. Can't wait to see it on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796436 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 23:10:25 +0000 Anonymous 796436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wahoo, I have that one coming my way.<br /> I like it, the itchiness factor is a non negotiable for me. I'm wondering about that too now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796395 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:42:13 +0000 Suz 796395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all....you are right it will be better with a long sleeved layering T underneath. It is a bit on the warm side here today, too, and that always makes me itch more in sweaters. When it's super cold I almost never do. </p> <p>I LOVE the style. Would gladly wear some other sweaters in this cut if I could find them. </p> <p>Of course, I was hoping to try this sweater tomorrow at my holiday party with the jeans that have not yet arrived and are presumably sitting in the Fifty-One warehouse (grrr): </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/dl1961-emma-skinny-jeans-ornate/3329857?origin=PredictiveSearch&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/dl.....sultback=0</a></p> <p>Wouldn't that look fun? </p> <p>I am almost tempted to go out and try to find some different jeans tomorrow instead. Not that I'd have much luck in these parts...</p> <p>Hoping Angie and Inge and others who have the sweater weigh in about the size. It is not as oversized as some are wearing it. Is it as oversized as Angie's? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796389 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:31:22 +0000 CocoLion 796389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute and cozy. If it weren't for my hot flashes I'd get one of these for myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796354 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:56:32 +0000 Ornella 796354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*happy sigh*</p> <p>That color is divine on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796353 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:56:15 +0000 cobaltblue 796353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you, size and color. (The grey looked baaaad on me!) I too was surprised at the itchy, static-y feeling I got trying these on but plan to wear with a long-sleeved tee underneath, as suggested above. </p> <p>I brought home the cream in S but am still not sure about the super-oversized look on me. I'll be posting it with potential styling ideas, if the forum can handle any more threads on this sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796351 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:56:03 +0000 Sona 796351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KEEP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796345 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:50:39 +0000 texstyle 796345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color and style look great on you but itchiness would be the deal breaker for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796343 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:49:55 +0000 Ginkgo 796343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this size on you, will confess that I've not been a fan of the very slouchy look, so I personally wouldn't be looking to size up from this one. Good color for you. I would also combat itchiness by wearing a long-sleeved tee under it but then my house is cold inside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796341 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:48:35 +0000 ClaraT 796341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color a lot, and you seem to look good in everything. </p> <p>The itchiness, though--I can't bear that. Only you can tell if it's tolerable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796340 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:48:03 +0000 Transcona Shannon 796340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect! Seriously.</p> <p>Itch factor is of some concern though... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796336 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:46:10 +0000 Kristin SF 796336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, yep - added it to my GAP basket this morning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796335 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:45:28 +0000 cciele 796335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up from me! The itchiness and warmth factor are a concern though... you could wear an underlayer but there's a chance you might be too hot? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796334 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:44:55 +0000 catgirl 796334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely perfect. *runs out to get one* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796333 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:43:56 +0000 Anonymous 796333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it Suz, the grey looks really nice on you!

YLF sweater, indeed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796321 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:35:20 +0000 Lisa 796321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this color on you. For itchyness, if you run on team cold (like I do) how about layering a long sleeve t underneath? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-exchange-the-ylf-sweater-in-grey#post-796316 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:33:29 +0000 Suz 796316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had ordered two sizes to compare, but I only got one sweater. Is it the right size, and do you like the colour for me? </p> <p>Hubs liked it, though worried that it might be awfully warm, and I find it a tiny bit scratchy even with a cami. Am wondering if the different colours have different softness levels. </p>
