I am thinking sweaters are my friend this F/W season and have been doing some online shopping (insomnia results in lots of time).

I like these two similar sweaters and would appreciate comments/feedback on them as well as info if anyone has seen either in person.

I have also been looking at the halogen pleated skirt. I am drawn to this style but passed thinking it wouldn't work with my shape but after seeing how fab it is on Sveta and am considering it again. I saw the same one in a dot pattern that I am considering instead of the stripe. Has anyone seen the dot one? Does anyone know if the sizing on the two patterns is consistent? I know with the halogen seamed ponte pencil, the sizing was different on different colors and since I am ordering from Canada, I try to get the size right.

Thanks in advance for any feedback you provide.

EDIT: I also like the polka dot version of this skirt and am interested to know what others think of the striped vs. dots.
