Cupcakes and Cashmere

Around the Neck

November 21st, 2012

Club Monaco Sweater, Hudson Jeans, Deborah Lippmann “Bite Me” Lipstick, Louboutin Heels, Zara Bag

I used to be strongly opposed to turtlenecks, but when paired with sultry elements (like a dark lip and cobalt stilettos), they don’t feel quite as frumpy. As a woman with a larger chest, sweaters can be tricky – they’re either tight and revealing or large and bulky (which is usually what I feel most comfortable with). This is one of the first pieces that nicely straddles the line – it feels just as cozy as my larger knits, but with just enough tailoring to feel a bit seductive.

    I agree sweaters can be very lumpy when you have a large chest. I always try to find sweaters with just enough firgur cutting to complement me. And it’s not so easy.

    I think I with a loose sweater easily come to look fat
