Is this a boyfriend cardigan or just an ill-fitting cardi?

Huh. That is strange. Is it a petite small or regular small and how tall are you? I'm thinking it's NOT a BF cardi - just an ill-fitting one. Seems to fit wrong under the arms, and the shoulders (though hard to tell in the photo). But the arm length is fine. Hmm. I think a BF cardi should fit well in these two areas - it's just longer.

I have noticed that ATL has had some serious quality issues in the past year. Very inconsistent. Especially with online orders. Was this an online order?

On the plus side, the skirt is adorable, the color of the cardi is absolutely fantastic for you, and I adore the triple strand of pearls.

You're gorgeous but I think you could do better with a different cardi.

I fear it's too big. Boyfriend cardi's so fit in the shoulder and through the sides and be longer on the plus side the skirt and boots are fab x

I love the skirt, what a find. Your colour combinations are fabulous but the cardigan appears to be boxy without enough length.

The color is lovely, but it seems too big for you..

Thanks so much everyone!

I guess I will keep looking for something else to pair with this skirt.
I have 2 other red cardigans, but none were the right shade of red.

What other options for tops do you suggest??

Thanks, Susan

I'm with the gals, but it's a great colour on you Susan :0)

Try matching the skirt up with yellow or black.

Is there a bit of olive in the skirt? You might try olive if it isn't too yellow for your skin tones.
