I had sworn off the Appleseed’s catalog due to boxy fits and quality, but then when boxy and oversized were trending I thought I’d try this sweater with high cowl and nice berry color.
But, as in pics, the bottom ribbing narrows a bit and so the sides “pooch” out--not a square boxy fit. This is size PS ‘cause I never thought I’d take M, but I wondered if I sized up, would it be more boxy and not cling at the welting? Or then too big all over & just give it up? NOT free shipping except with specials.
Also shown is a WIW as color and teensy bit of pattern mixing for fall. Wearing burgundy oxfords, AT grayish pinstripe pant where the stripe reads pinkish; Loft sweater in green, pink and brown; Olivia Moon knit jacket. This outfit reads a bit manly to me (for how I carry it off, not because I’m averse)—“pumps” would be one way to counterplay the menswear vibe, but not for me.However my shooties or booties I think give a more refined look than the oxfords, so might try that. Jacket isn’t very structured—shoulders are not sharp—but it’s been a useful weight and color and is good with softer skirts & dress looks.
What do you think? Try to upsize sweater or give up as likely too frumpy regardless? Improvements on the WIW?
