It was only OK. I'm glad you're returning it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-zip-detail-sweater#post-1369994 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 20:44:14 +0000 Suz 1369994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am glad we are all on the same page here. My first thought was "too short" when I saw it, too, but it was so soft and a nice charcoal, so I was willing to entertain it. It's already packed!&nbsp;</p> <p>Jackie, light grey is also great! So show me the Mexx!! &nbsp;:)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-zip-detail-sweater#post-1369942 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 19:46:09 +0000 Anonymous 1369942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought before reading the other comments was: "Not bad, but there's probably something better than 'not bad' out there." So I agree with Angie et al&nbsp;to return.</p> <p>Hope the other one comes back in stock or something else turns up soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-zip-detail-sweater#post-1369937 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 19:38:42 +0000 ironkurtin 1369937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm seconding Angie. Keep looking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-zip-detail-sweater#post-1369929 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 19:32:39 +0000 catgirl 1369929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Flap-fussy" = word of the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-zip-detail-sweater#post-1369919 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 19:13:47 +0000 jackiec 1369919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad Angie chimed in because my first response was "too short!" and I know we are very similar in the types of tops/sweaters we wear. I'll have to show you the grey cardi I picked up last week from the Mexx outlet. I'm quite happy with it....mind you it's light grey.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-zip-detail-sweater#post-1369908 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 19:02:46 +0000 Suz 1369908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Angie. If it were ink I would have jumped for it. But perhaps they will come out with a similar one in a different colour. That sometimes happens. Meanwhile the longer BR may come back into stock.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-zip-detail-sweater#post-1369902 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 18:56:12 +0000 Angie 1369902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blast. Why did they have to make that cardi&nbsp;black? Off with their heads.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-zip-detail-sweater#post-1369899 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 18:54:35 +0000 Suz 1369899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all!&nbsp;</p> <p>Yes, I think the main problem is the front length. It is not enough. And it is a bit fussy also, and maybe cocoonish. If that's a word.&nbsp;</p> <p>NEXT!&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie, I love the CM sweater, but it is black. I really don't want a black sweater. I just got a navy sweater (which I will wear). And charcoal I could go for,&nbsp;but black is so.....<b>BLACK.&nbsp;</p> <p></b>Anyway -- onward! There are probably a thousand sweaters out there that will work better and I can wait until I find one.&nbsp;<br /><b><br />Thank you all! :)</p> <p></b><b><br /></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-zip-detail-sweater#post-1369892 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 18:50:15 +0000 Angie 1369892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote return. It looks too short and flap-fussy&nbsp;in front, Suz.</p> <p>The one from CM is my suggestion.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-zip-detail-sweater#post-1369872 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 18:36:32 +0000 merwoman 1369872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bedhead...hah - you look gorgeous as always Suz!&nbsp; The sweater works and fulfills the function, but I'm thinking it's just a wee bit short (in the front) for what you want? Maybe you needed the 'tall' version ;-)?</p> <p>Agreeing with bj1111 - I think for the unzip bit to work you need&nbsp; an untucked shirt - seeing two fabrics, plus belt is a bit hectic.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-zip-detail-sweater#post-1369848 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 18:05:00 +0000 bj1111 1369848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the side zips...when open, try a button down or woven shirt untucked.</p> <p>I also like it wrapped and tucked. Struggling a bit with the front shawl drape. How do you feel in it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-zip-detail-sweater#post-1369826 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 17:31:16 +0000 Astrid 1369826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a nice cardigan and I like it in #1-3, but I think I just don't get the unzipped look. Not sure what I would change, but my first thought was simply: what is the purpose of being able to unzip a cardigan like that? Very utilitarian of me, I know... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-zip-detail-sweater#post-1369825 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 17:30:28 +0000 viva 1369825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know Suz. You always look so great in every photo -- and you do here as well. But I don't love it as much as I love most things that you wear. I'm not sure why. I don't love it open at the sides, and I'm not positive about it in #6 either. I can't be very articulate so maybe just throw out my response. I have no doubt that if you keep it you will do wonderful things with it, but honestly it's just not my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-zip-detail-sweater#post-1369820 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 17:23:57 +0000 catgirl 1369820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, of course I love anything grey, convertible and with zippers.&nbsp; I think it looks great and agree with Lisap here.&nbsp; However, you have such a good sense of your own style that I'm wondering if you're having some hesitation for a reason you haven't expressed? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-zip-detail-sweater#post-1369818 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 17:21:16 +0000 Mona 1369818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This cardigan definitely has a great potential. I love the side zippers on this but like Staysfit said, an untucked shirt will look more flattering.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-zip-detail-sweater#post-1369799 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 16:46:39 +0000 Anonymous 1369799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - I like this! &nbsp;I think this is perfect on you - and I love the way it can be zipped, wrapped, etc....very creative of you:) &nbsp;</p> <p>I don't see any "cons" or downsides to this sweater -dark grey is such a good colour to work with .&nbsp;It's a nice clean look, but interesting enough to lift it out of "boring cardigan" territory. Keep!! </p> <p></p> <p>p.s. cute plaid pants too !</p> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/"></a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/"></a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-zip-detail-sweater#post-1369795 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 16:37:58 +0000 Staysfit 1369795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I mostly like it. &nbsp;I think it looks really good when you wrap it. &nbsp;The only way I am unsure of is&nbsp;when it is unzipped completely and the sides are hanging open&nbsp;in the front view, and maybe the side view.&nbsp;It kind of looks like you are wearing a scarf, and maybe like the sweater is torn,&nbsp;and it draws your eyes right down to your hips. &nbsp;I don't know if that is a problem for you because you are so slender. &nbsp;The other versions look fine to my eye. &nbsp;I wonder if this would look better if the shirt underneath were untucked? &nbsp;It looks like that is how the model in the picture is wearing hers.&nbsp;Perhaps I just need to adjust to this type of look? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-br-zip-detail-sweater#post-1369787 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 16:18:04 +0000 Suz 1369787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I decided that the Kenneth Cole sweater was too drapey in the front for me, which is why I passed it along to LisaP (who wears it to perfection).&nbsp;</p> <p>But now I need (or at least want) a grey cardigan type sweater for my work-at-home days.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wanted to try the Angie pick long cardigan (#2) but it sold out in my size before I got a chance. They might get more in, however. Then again, it might be too long for short me, anyway.&nbsp;</p> <p>Meanwhile, Mr. Suz had a huge discount coupon thing at BR and so I ordered the zip detail open sweater. (Find #1).&nbsp;</p> <p>It has a high low hem, so the back covers my rear. The zips on the side can be adjusted wherever you want &nbsp;-- all the way for a sort of cape-like look, or just partially.&nbsp;</p> <p>To be honest,&nbsp;I'm not sure what I think of it. Here it is, styled in a couple of ways. I discovered that if you open up the zips you can wrap and semi-tuck the front for a different look.&nbsp;</p> <p>Please forgive bedhead and the darkness. I tried to lighten the pictures a bit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks in advance for your thoughts.&nbsp; </p>
