I don't know if any of these are what you have in mind, but I'm taking a shot.

What about the Fetching Cocoon sweater? I think they make them without sparkles too.

@ goclothing.

they also have them at www.nessaleestyle.com- you can get them for a discount there but there are no pics.

EXACTLY!!!!! THANKS! I love all the suggestions, but I just can't do the shorter shrug styles...i just look stupid.

I'm short (5' tall) with big boobs (D) and I found the best cardigan/shrug at Forever21. I'd been looking for a shrug for a long time, never go in to F21, but I do one day, and found the shrug. It's not on the website, but I went back in on Sunday, and they still had it. It's the same shape as the one you posted originally, but a very thin crochet, so it doesn't add bulk, and doesn't cut you in half and make you look shorter. There's a beautiful flower design worked into the crochet, and it comes in a dark teal, brown, or burgundy. I definitely recommend checking it out!!! There were two crochet styles, one was with a thicker yarn, and one was a much thinner, more delicate style. Go for the more delicate one.

Yes, they really are becoming quite ubiquitous. I know what you mean about liking something but then not wanting it once it is everywhere. I know you said no regular cardigans, but I'm leaning towards these shapes for fall:

THIS IS WHAT I WANT....w/o the fringe!
