I've noticed a lot of stores carrying embellished cardigans for fall. I just bought a belted sweater from Old Navy in a beautiful purple, but I want to get a couple of these pretty sweaters too. Do you like them?

I think a cardigan like this would be so pretty over a crisp white button-up shirt.

I think they're pretty, but they look ridiculous on me because of my bust. (I don't find them flattering on big busted women.) My sister wears a lot of cardigans along those lines from Anthropologie and similar stores and looks great in them.

Ha, I am chesty too, although not as much as I used to be. That's why I like the collared shirt: the V shape of the open collar helps bring the eye downward. Wearing the right kind of sweater can be challenging, especially since they are thicker due to the knit/crochet, so they add bulk too.

I don't like to wear turtlenecks or boatneck tops because they make me look broader instead of taller. I will wear the belted cardie with a tank top because it already has a nice shawl collar that makes the V neckline.

This is the purple sweater I bought.

Someday I hope to have a stack of cashmere sweaters.
