I just tried on a really cool sweater from Splendid. It was chunky and long like a sweater coat - but I didn't get it because there was no belt or buttons. I don't really like sweaters that don't close. The colors were beautiful though - dark cinammon, lighter orange-ish, dark brown, ivory. Very fall.

wendibird22 I love that look! I have that same wrap and I never would have thought of wearing bright color under it.

[QUOTE=ellies mom;3639822]I love that sweater. And every time I see it I love it more. But every time I try it on, I'm reminded why I didn't buy it the first time. It looks awful on me and it breaks my heart because it is so cool.
It IS a new silhouette for me too (flowy and not fitted), and def required a bit of 'breaking in' but I wore it today for a fun day out with DD and loved it! I have the charcoal gray, wasn't crazy about the bright colors..My sweet and curly haired DD 4

Wendibird- great look! The belted cape looks very good with the fuchsia pink peeking out.

Looks so good on you, esp. With the pink!

I can see that I'll be wearing this a lot.

This looks awesome.....but it says "dry clean" and that's a deal breaker for me, living with a 2yr old and 4yr old! So bummed! Originally Posted by joonbug

. I will pair it with riding boots, skinny jeans and a turtleneck underneath.

Some reviewers said they had washed it on delicate/cold water and laid flat to dry which I'm planning to do as well.... No dry cleaning around here! Lol. I will report back
