Update: The jacket struggle (see below)

Team shoulder checking in. Has anyone tried this sweater? The reviews are terrific and I'm desperate for a third piece (that's not denim) that's comfortable and can be worn indoors. It looks like it will accommodate light woven layers. (I don't need anything for sweaters since I can layer underneath them.) Can't decide if this collar style is flattering on ITs or if the shape is too straight and voluminous. TIA!

It’s knit so it might work. I prefer knits because they have some give and can stretch across my broad shoulders and not look crazy wide on my torso. I haven’t tried any from Leith, but it looks nice.

I have a similar cardigan from Halogen that has seen lots of wear this fall. It is not a cocoon shape, more straight. I had a cocoon shaped cardigan in the past that I wore out. That shape can be bigger and accommodate more bulk underneath, especially sleeves.

I did a little bit of lunch time shopping and tried the sweater. All of the reviews said to size down but I feel like the best fit was my usual medium. So glad I didn’t bother with an in line order because I’d end up having tingonbackntibthe store anyway. To my surprise, I found a petite Topshop moto jacket that I think I love. I’ve been waiting a long time for the right one and I think it is it. Would love your opinion. It was on sale but I would have paid full price, I think. last photo is a WIW. I’ve had this Halogen cardigan for ages and think the longer one looks more current. Do you agree?

Yep, that Moto is KILLER on you .
I like the longer cardis now too, but there is still a place for the slightly shorter ones still I think ,
You look great by the way in all of these !

I agree with you on the cardigans, I’m wanting them longer and longer (and my coats too, to cover them). But the shorter ones I’m still using as a mid layer, with something over it, so the length is less visible. Not sure if your climate is cold enough for that.

I love both! The Moto looks stellar and the fit of the sweater is excellent! A success shopping trip always makes me happy!

Both look fab! Your WIW is super, too, especially the scarf with the sweater.
