My husband had given me this sweater for my birthday. It is a cashmere/silk blend and I love the color--BUT this "slouchy" shape is giving me trouble. I figure with its full shape, I will wear something slim on the bottom.

Oh, and the little booties are really comfortable with the little kitten, 2 1/2 inch heel!!! Love the sun blaring those wrinkles right off my face!
Slouchy sweaters--wear with skinny or full shape?
I think your love of pink is as strong as mine.
ReplyDeleteLove it all my friend.

You look so good in pink.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think slouchy sweaters can be worn with just about anything, but they do look best with a slim bottom.

This is really beautiful on you. These jewel tones just light you up! I'm with you, I often try to balance things....fitted on top, loose on bottom and vice versa. But maybe I should lighten up on that rule sometime. ~Serene
ReplyDeleteA cashmere/silk blend?? OOO..I bet it feels wonderful! The color is beautiful and brightens up your face! I often change my best laid plans at the last minute.
ReplyDeleteLove the light colored coat and fire-engine gloves
ReplyDeleteIs that a zipper up the front of your skirt? super cool!
Love all the summery, raspberry, red-pink colors! I agree that it looks great paired with a slim skirt. It's a great proportional fit!
ReplyDeleteI vote for slim unless you are going for the "too old to care" look.
ReplyDeleteI love when you show outerwear. I commute on public transit and spend a lot of time looking around at what people wear over whatever they're wearing. The camel looks fun with the pops of color.
I have to laugh...I'm totally the oddball here because I do notice the clothes (really!) but I am amazed by the pattern of the winter branches on the shrub behind you!!!
ReplyDeletelol
loving the colors you have on too...
Sacraemento~I love color, as you know by now, so ANY color is a great color!
ReplyDeleteJoy~I felt sort of all boobs n belly, tho!
Serene~ya, I might try this with a fuller, short skirt?
Pam~Victorias Secret does some really nice, reasonably priced blends. I was just a little bummed on the shape of this one, but I will make it work!
Silvergirl~Its actually more of the satin ribbon--very cute detail.
Vanessa~Very rasberry like tones. Thanks
Rose~Most people will only SEE me in outerwear, so its got to be part of it, no?
Lisa, of course you would notice the tree, so did I--we are artists, afterall!
I love everything about this outfit!
ReplyDeletelove the blue tights- and i vote skinny with the full sweater. nice look!

Hhm. My camel sweater is pretty slouchy and i have paired it with a fitted shape. I have had OLD cashmere sweaters though that are just so comfy that I throw them on and don't even think about the look! The sweater is a beautiful color on your sunny face!
