I thought it didn't. Hmmm, maybe they added it. But I'm fine with the S. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-didnt-work-on-me-angies-fluffy-sweater#post-1132273 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 02:56:35 +0000 Peri 1132273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very soft and drapey. This is size small. I would have wanted to try XS if it came in that, but S was the smallest. Since we both have the XS Joie, I would think the S in this would fit you like it looks on me in the picture.</p> <p>And, it should come with a hug warning. People want to hug me when I wear it. Most people just rub my arms though, but DH always hugs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-didnt-work-on-me-angies-fluffy-sweater#post-1132258 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 02:51:05 +0000 catgirl 1132258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that is fantastic on you! Looks drapey! How is the sizing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-didnt-work-on-me-angies-fluffy-sweater#post-1132246 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 02:46:35 +0000 Peri 1132246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here it is. I love it and I bet you would too. I don't think it is as overwhelming as it is on the model. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-didnt-work-on-me-angies-fluffy-sweater#post-1132206 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 02:13:53 +0000 catgirl 1132206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peri, so sweet!&nbsp; I think this look just may not be for me.&nbsp; After 3 years at YLF, I still learn the hard way.&nbsp; Would love to see a picture of you in your fuzzy sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-didnt-work-on-me-angies-fluffy-sweater#post-1132203 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 02:12:13 +0000 D'Ellen 1132203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack!&nbsp; Sorry it didn't work for you.&nbsp; I was tempted too...it looked so pretty on Angie.&nbsp; But I knew it wouldn't&nbsp;look like that&nbsp;on&nbsp;stocky, blocky&nbsp;me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-didnt-work-on-me-angies-fluffy-sweater#post-1132150 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 01:36:47 +0000 Peri 1132150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi again. If you really want a fuzzy sweater you could try my purple big bird sweater. I'm not sure it is the single most flattering thing I own but it is really decent...got a lot of board approval at least. I am an IT with some ooo-la-la going on too so if I can wear it I would think you could. Hey, then we would have two of the same sweaters! I wore Joie joy today. :)</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/hinge-textured-sweater/3531245?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=Blue-+Seaport+Combo&amp;resultback=0&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_A">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/hi.....t&#038;con</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-didnt-work-on-me-angies-fluffy-sweater#post-1132006 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 23:22:48 +0000 Lucy 1132006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's good to rule it out so definitively!&nbsp;</p> <p>I too am a bit on the busty side.

I will wear the high necks for you.

This year I cut it up to turn into a Halloween costume (a Lyft mustache, if any of you happen to recognize&nbsp;the Lyft car-sharing service) and I am STILL finding bits of pink fun fur everywhere. I can just picture myself going to some formal gala (as if that ever happens in my life) and discovering pink fuzz on my gown. It is EVERYWHERE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-didnt-work-on-me-angies-fluffy-sweater#post-1131913 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 22:13:01 +0000 Aziraphale 1131913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fluffy sweaters don't work on me either.

But I would look like that too, I know.&nbsp;</p> <p>And I've done this before. I once bought a lipstick because it looked great on someone else...a tan, blue-eyed blonde. Not so much on super pale, green-eyed, dark haired me. Lesson learned! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-didnt-work-on-me-angies-fluffy-sweater#post-1131523 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 15:48:03 +0000 kellygirl 1131523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol! I entertained the thought of trying it too but I had a feeling it would make me look like a furry hulk. Sorry it didn't work on you. We will have to enjoy it on Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-didnt-work-on-me-angies-fluffy-sweater#post-1131518 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 15:46:51 +0000 Thistle 1131518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just think about all the other things you rock&nbsp; Like, your furry vest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-didnt-work-on-me-angies-fluffy-sweater#post-1131514 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 15:45:45 +0000 Angie 1131514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the compliment and for trying. I'll wear the high fitted necklines for you, and you can wear the lower slouchier styles for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-didnt-work-on-me-angies-fluffy-sweater#post-1131489 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 15:30:46 +0000 catgirl 1131489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I tried two sizes and the fit was about the same.&nbsp; It's my shoulders for sure.&nbsp; I was fairly warned!&nbsp; You made it look so dang appealing... </p> <p>Janet, thanks.&nbsp; Tops make me feel like you do with pants&nbsp;-&nbsp;awkward and f-t. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-didnt-work-on-me-angies-fluffy-sweater#post-1131486 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 15:27:46 +0000 Janet 1131486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, I understand! Even though we have opposite issues, I totally get your pain. </p> <p>Although, if it's any consolation, I doubt that sweater would work on me either -- I don't think it is particularly friendly to the busty. I looked at the mint version and quickly decided it was better to walk away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-didnt-work-on-me-angies-fluffy-sweater#post-1131485 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 15:27:39 +0000 Angie 1131485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry it didn't work out, Una. Was it too fitted? Perhaps you needed to go up a size. Not sure.&nbsp;I did mention that it was pretty cropped, and the high neckline does accentuate a shorter neck and larger bust. Glad you returned it.&nbsp;Onto the next great sweater.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-didnt-work-on-me-angies-fluffy-sweater#post-1131478 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 15:24:38 +0000 catgirl 1131478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know what possessed me to think it would, except that Angie sold me with her Vegas look.&nbsp; I tried the Topshop fluffy sweater in chartreuse.&nbsp; First off, it's super-cropped - it barely covered my belly button, and I'm 5'1"!&nbsp; Plus for a busty IT, I looked like the chartreuse version of the Incredible Hulk.&nbsp; Not good.&nbsp; </p> <p>Sigh.&nbsp; I should add shopping for fitted tops to my hate list, except I don't even try that anymore.</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/topshop-crewneck-sweater/3628967?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=CHARTREUSE&amp;resultback=2277&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-undefined_8_B" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/to.....efined_8_B</a> </p>
