Two items recently caught my eye, both of which tick boxes. The first is an oversized cashemere sweater--incredibly, not black! I love double V-neck cuts, which are difficult to find, and the colour is the perfect green for me. I sized up because I wanted it to skim along my hips, rather than cling. Left to its own devices, the sweater falls just below my saddlebags, however. With small front tuck, or a the hem folded, this isn't an issue, but it means the styled option in the photo isn't an option.

This leads me to the second find, à midi skirt. I tried on this cut in a light shimmery colour nearly a year ago and passed because it wasn't flattering enough, but I couldn't get the skirt out of my mind. The material is thin, and the cut is slim but loose, which prevent it from looking overwhelming or frumpy (to my eye). The drawback is that the skirt traces the body's outline, which includes saddlebags, but this doesn't bother me as much as it used to.

As usual, I'll sit on these options for a few days, and reassses once the novelty factor wears off, but what do you think? The third pic is just intended to fully show the cut of the skirt
