I got these some time ago, just before my impromptu trip to Scotland, so never really had time to evaluate them. I remember thinking "ugh" and that I'd return then when I got home. I was actually tempted to order them in a size larger, which is actually two sizes up from my usual, as I'd originally got "my" size plus one size up. All the reviews suggested sizing up.

But not Angie. She says to size down.

So this got me thinking... maybe "my" size was right after all (I knew sizing down wasn't an option... maybe my body has sized itself up ) So after reading several posts, including the blog post about Karen, I dug "my" size out to try again. And I liked them a whole bunch more this time around. Enough to take photos and get your opinions!

So what do you think? They are pretty comfortable, due to the fabric content. So I'd like honest opinions on what you think of them ON ME. I felt very lumpy in these originally, do they make me look thighy and lumpy? How's the length? Anything else?

And to clarify, I do have the CE cropped flares, and love them, so I am totally comfortable with the style. Would just like some in a darker wash, given most of my footwear is dark.

And I know, not the best sweater, but it was what I was wearing. Took it off to show the fit better in the last photo.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts you might have.
