wiw- a keep and a return? - YouLookFab Forum

Nordstrums put a few things on sale on my ever growing wishlist. I figured I'd try them out before they sell out.
The first is this silk tank by Joie. It really wasn't love at first sight, but I think it is starting to grow on me. I'll soon be going back to my natural hair color, which is a cool to neutral dark brown, if that makes a difference.
The second thing is this cashmere sweater by Equipment. I've been looking for both a cashmere sweater and a snake print one. The smile isn't because of how much I love the sweater, which I do. It looks much better than it photographed. My dogs kept trying to photobomb me. I was trying to get my border collie to sit so he'd be photographed from the front. The heeler was semi cooperative. She likes to be part of everything.
Todays outfit is
top- Lush zipper sweatshirt with Gapfit undershirt
pants- Old Navy Rockstar khakis
boots- Fergie Command

Your doggie is so cute. I love seeing them in your photos.

I don't want you to keep something that is "growing on you" - although I really like the Joie top in #1. Nice tailored fit.

The cashmere sweater is a size small. Can you size up? It has great potential.

I love the cashmere sweater (and esp. how it goes with your dog!) LOVE. I would like it best a size up, too.

And I also like the top. I do think your cooler toned hair will make you happier with its cool tones.

The sleeves on the sweater are a little long, they would be a lot long sized up.
I have such issues with tops. I have Celiacs and am subject to a lot of bloating in the midsection. I feel like both tops were looser in the abdomen during my initial try on a few days ago. I think I will put these on hold for a week and re try on.
Funny Suz, between the black dog and the white dog, there are relatively few garments that don't show fur. They are worth it though.

I like the top.
Hope the sweater fits when you are less bloaty.

I really like the cashmere sweater on you! One thing to consider when thinking about sizing up is whether it will shrink when washed. I know that a lot of people handwash their cashmere sweaters, even if they are dry clean only. I have no idea if cashmere shrinks. I would hate for the sweater to get too small after you've washed it! If you're feeling bloaty, it would be nice to be able to wear the sweater to at least cheer yourself up a bit, and if it's too small for days when you're not feeling good, you'll feel like you need to avoid it.
