Need honest opinion on my purchase (w/pics)
Permalink Closed

I need some really honest opinions on my purchase.   Found this cashmere sweater that I 'think' I love.  It was not cheap, so I need to be really sure.  It is so soft & buttery and a great color.  It's a bit unstructured, which I think I like and I want to be able to dress it up or down and wear it a ton.   Is it too unstructured and is it unflattering?  Or is it funky enough that it's a piece I'll love for a long time.  I don't want to look like I'm wearing my mom's sweater.   It runs big - this is a small.  It has one toggle button offset at the top.  Thanks for your honest opinions - I can take it!

I *think* I like it. I would like to see it with a belt cinching the waist, perhaps it is a bit too unstructured. I'd try it on with a few different types of outfits to see what you feel about it.

i really like it!  i think you should stick with a more fitted pant/bottom with it though (like the ones you're wearing).

Hmm..I'm really on the fence with this one.

My first reaction was that it's cute, but I'm personally not crazy about the color.

I do think it would look better with a more fitted bottom.

I agree with all of this. I don't think it's really my style, but if you love it, then you should keep it!

It looks very conservative.  I'm not sure that's the look you're going for.  I think it would be nicer and more versatile in a black or a jewel tone.

On one hand I like it and think it looks cozy and comfy but on the other hand it kind of looks like your mom's sweater, KWIM? I think how it looks really depends on what else you are wearing with it. I'm not sure it makes the sweater very versatile though... Maybe try another color?

Hmm...I don't think I'm feeling it.  It's okay, but I don't love it.  Now that pinky mentioned it, it does look a bit conservative.  I wonder what it would look like with a skirt or maybe with skinny jeans tucked into boots?  I just think it need either some sex appeal or a bit of funkiness added to it to make it interesting.


Just my opinion.  If you love it, then by all means keep it.

I'm sorry, not loving the color or style. :(

Thanks for the honest opinions.  I guess if I truly loved it I wouldn't have had to ask for opinions.  I think what I love is the feel, so I'm off to find a better (maybe belted) style.

i feel like the length is a bit long.  perhaps if it were more cropped, i would like it.  esp. with skinny jeans and boots!
