I like the IDEA of both of them. Yours looks cozy and warm but perhaps the fabric is too bulky for the look you want. I'd try a belt and the cute friend accessory! If you're still not thrilled with it, relegate it to warm home loungewear.Big in Japanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12646004059769944464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842455706765716453.post-70564345043188249732011-03-20T15:47:20.025-04:002011-03-20T15:47:20.025-04:00Warm and cozy!

And you really shouldn't interface that stuff, if you feel lost now you'll totally disappear behind a stiff collar. There are 2 things you could do to the sleeves: shorten them of course, but consider making them narrower so you can crinkle them up at the bottom, a nice look which will make the whole thing slimmer. And definitely belt it..<br />Good color though, don't you agree? And it looks warm, which is still a good thing or will be very good in 6 months.Marie-Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842455706765716453.post-25861510285278942632011-03-20T13:01:47.573-04:002011-03-20T13:01:47.573-04:00a month ago, I would have loved to crawl up in tha...a month ago, I would have loved to crawl up in that sweater, it looks so comfortable!!!toyhttp://trinilove.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
