OhhhhKAY. I am seriously sorry it's taken me a million blog years to actually review this dang Quince cardigan but I've been busy taking really terrible photos. Like, this first pic was just to show my friends how f'ing crazy oversized the size medium was and clearly was not meant for public consumption but I already sent the sweater back so here we are:
But, it was so soft and cozy and such a good cold-weather WFH piece that I exchanged it for the small (in the charcoal grey because...reasons. I don't know.). I'm way happier with this one:
It's still perfectly oversized and delightfully unflattering but it doesn't feel overwhelming and the sleeves are the perfect length for me. If you have long arms, the sleeves might be short if you size down too much, just FYI. Also, it's holding up fine and isn't pilling much so far. (I maintain that
all cashmere pills, it's just a matter of time.) If you're curious about the rest, I'm wearing my cardigan with
these Madewell jeans and
this Quince top. My boots are
Pikolinos Granada and they're from my favorite local comfort shoe store because that's my life now. They're cute, though, right?
One last look at the cardigan, which even in the size small buttons up with plenty of room to spare:
I doubt I'd ever wear it like this but it's nice that I can if I feel like it. Finally, I wanted to share my best recent Etsy purchase:
That's it! A full review, a terrible pic with no makeup, and a mini outfit post to boot. I really give it my all, don't I? Honestly, though, this Quince cardigan is such a nice piece - good quality cashmere at a great price. If you’re new to Quince and want $20 off a purchase of $50 or more, please feel free to use my referral link! (Full disclosure: I also get $20 in credit and then use the credits to buy more stuff to review!)
Thanks for this review - and the size pics! I'm always afraid to size down, but this one looks like it can handle it. Also...again reaffirming that this is a good WFH sweater and probably not for public consumption!
ReplyDeleteYou are wearing this VERY well! The boots are a good match for your hair and the denim cuff is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing both pictures. I feel like we are similar sizes and I am recovering from a lifetime of wearing everything too big (it's a '90s goth hangover situation) and I also know that I would have totally put up with the fit of the medium and just thought it was "oversized." But now I get it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review! Yes your boots are cute.
