Great staple

I thought about purchasing this and still might, but I do feel like this kind of sweater can get really pilly. I could wear xs or small these days and I went with small and glad I did.

I’ve been looking for this exact piece for my capsule wardrobe!

I have a few “forever” pieces on my list that I’m in no hurry to purchase since they’re not trendy and I want to find ones that I will wear in 10 years and feel just as good in, as I did when I bought them. This sweater completes my “classic cable-knit” on the checklist. I envisioned it giving 90’s Diane Keaton or Meg Ryan…something to pair with any type of bottom that goes in and out of style but the sweater that doesn’t. My favorite part about this sweater is the oversized fit and how long the sleeves are (I have long arms) and yet how it falls so feminine and pretty. It’s not hot…went for a walk and felt the cold air come through which I love. Was worth leaving a long review because I BOUGHT IT THE MINUTE AFTER I PUT IT ON. When you just know you’ve found that capsule piece, you know!

Simple, warm

This is my first box so I wasn’t sure how to pick items. This sweater is fine. It’s a bit boxy and very warm. Nice, thick material.

It's a really cute sweater but wow is it oversized! I sized down one size and it was still fairly large. The sweater is very warm though.

Absolutely Loved!!

Nice and long, oversized to wear with leggings. So comfy. Only a tiny bit itchy near the neck, but only if it started getting too warm. Definitely for cold weather.

Cute, oversized

Love this sweater. I’d buy if it weren’t the end of winter. It’s big, so order down if you don’t want it that way.
