This is the sweater I got from my school's Secret Santa. I don't know who it is but apparently it's a guy so I'm super impressed he got my size perfectly. Anyway, this is the sweater and I'm really torn about it. He included a gift receipt so I can return for store credit. The sweater is soft, thin enough to not be hot, and not itchy. BUT it's 20% polyester (from F21, what I can expect?) along with a blend of rayon, nylon, acrylic and tiny bit of wool so I'm afraid the material will ball up or fall apart really soon. Another problem is length. I would keep it in a wink if the sweater was longer. Are horizontal stripes and the length unflattering? It is cute though, and it is a gift, so I kind of want to keep it. Finally, if I do decide to keep it, I'm not quite so sure how to style it because I generally go for more structured pieces. I currently do not own a single sweater like this because I've been told it makes me look like something my mom would wear.

Thanks for helping!

P.S. Excuse the bathroom pics - it was the only mirror I could find. I tried to crop out as much as possible.
