K/R Fuzzy sweater: cotton candy or Cookie Monster?

Sorry the pics aren't great--having trouble with my iPhone pics. I wanted to get a fuzzy sweater after seeing Angie's cool outfit pics. I really love the color of the pink cotton candy Topshop one (which I think is the same style as the light blue one that Angie has), but am not sure if it is too cropped for me. The hem hits right across my apple tummy and if I am not careful to keep it pulled down my belly might show--I might have to wear a tank underneath. Also not sure if I can wear pastels with my coloring. But I really think it's fun and it makes me smile! I also bought the teal Hinge one after reading Una's thread about the Topshop one being too cropped, someone suggested this one instead. It reminds me of Cookie Monster. This teal is more my traditional color, but it's not quite as fresh and exciting to me because I do have other teal/turquoise sweaters. (I don't have anything in light pink yet). Also it covers my midsection better, but is the sweater too big and baggy on me? It might work better as a tunic with leggings than with jeans.

Do you like either of these on me? Which one is more flattering? Thanks!

I honestly don't like either on you

The pink one looks kind of tired and matted in the photo, and the teal one just looks too big to me.

I do like the sweater much better with leggings and the cognac boots. Not sure that means you "need" it...
Do you have higher waisted pants you could try with the pink sweater?

Edit, I can't disagree with Ceit that the texture of the sweaters is not photographing well, but that may just be in photos.

The teal looks to big in #2, better in #3, but not sure about either....

Hmmm: I think the teal one is in an inbetween place re: length. It looks too long with jeans but a little too short with the leggings. :/ And I don't think the pink one is terribly flattering, especially compared to your usual outfits. If I were you I'd keep looking.

I like number 1.

I like the pink one better than the teal one. How do you feel about the length? I'm not an apple but I have a little tummy pooch and I don't like anything that hits right at my waistband. I also don't like to worry about constantly pulling my tops down so my belly doesn't show, so that would a deal breaker to me.

I like the cookie monster one, and not just because it's teal. I like big, baggy sweaters though.

The pink one... I don't love it, but I must admit I am not fond of cropped sweaters with pants, unless there is a longer layer underneath. I do like them with skirts and dresses, so I might change my mind if you were to wear it with one of those.

I think the pink is a bit short for your jeans. But, I do like the color on you. As for the teal, it's a great color, but it looks a little big.

I prefer the pink one- it's cute, fun, and a change of pace. I would just wear a camisole under it and then your midriff won't be chilly or show when you don't want it to.

Hmmm... I prefer the pink, but I think you should try it with some skirts to better assess.

The pink might work with a skirt or over a dress, but I'm not in love with either of them on you.

i like the pink color best, but agree it could be a bit longer.

I love #1 Natalie, but you need to wear that cropped pullover style with fuller bottoms. Not skinnies. At least, that's how I like to wear the silhouette.

Cotton Candy. Cookie Monster is a little droopy at the neckline. I don't like droopy for you (childish pout and foot stamp <here> ).

I am usually not a fan of pink but I strongly prefer that one for you.

Unfortunately, I'm with Ceit. If I had to choose one, it would be the pink, but I think you can do better than either.

It was me! I have the Hinge in purple and love it. Can you size down? Mine is loose but not quite that much.
