It looks lovely on you! As far as the oversized trend goes, remember that you don't have to adopt a way of dressing just because it's trending. I can appreciate the oversized tops and bottoms trend on everyone else, but it just isn't for me. I prefer a more tailored look.

Then I can get an idea whether I am in the ballpark or not.

This looks like a dream oversized fit to me -- structure on the shoulders and lots of room everywhere else!  Anonymous on "Sweater Questions" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-questions#post-1121137 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 00:32:31 +0000 Anonymous 1121137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ To my eye it looks nicely fluid and not too oversized. I love the shape and side view. You are the one who will wear it though, so go with your instincts. ironkurtin on "Sweater Questions" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-questions#post-1121131 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 00:28:18 +0000 ironkurtin 1121131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you look great. Tania on "Sweater Questions" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-questions#post-1121125 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 00:22:23 +0000 Tania 1121125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hello all! Due to various reasons, I recently tossed most of my clothes, I am redoing my wardrobe from scratch.  It is chilly and I need some sweaters and tops, ASAP! I have shopped for tops and am nervous about buying some of the oversized sweaters, dolman sleeves, dropped shoulder types  I'm not sure I am comfy with these styles yet.  I don't even know if I can identify them yet.  On a whim, I ordered this medium Vince colorblock sweater top and I am uncertain about the fit.  I'd appreciate any opinions and explanations as I muddle through learning how to shop for my body.  My husband and I thought it wasn't a good fit, but maybe this is how it is supposed to fit and I need to train my eye .  I could exchange for a small, but I thought the shoulder line was fine on this medium (maybe I am wrong?) I am still uncertain about the difference between oversized vs. fluid sweaters and how they are supposed to fit.  Any advice would be appreciated.    If it helps, I *think* I am an hourglass shape, 39/28.5/39, with shoulders at about 40.5 inches.  34DD bra.  If you think I am otherwise, please let me know!  Excuse the wonky eye picture.    Thanks in advance!
