Does anybody have one of these?

What do you think?

I ordered one. True to size, not a shocking in your face pink, more of a lipstick colour. However I don't like the 3/4 sleeves so sent it back. Got a lovely soft full length cashmere one from Uniqlo instead. Much thicker too, for a similar price

wools · 07/09/2013 08:14

Great minds think a like orangeandlemons - I bought a Uniqlo cashmere jumper too. They're lovely aren't they? Yes the 3/4 sleeves are the sticking point for me - so annoying in winter.

I've got it but haven't worn it yet. For me though its more of autumn/spring jumper so the threee quarter sleeves are fine.

I have long sleeved cashmere for when its colder.

Thanks MrsC.

I have it. It's waiting for a new skirt I've ordered from IO ( can't spell Bjaivksffsen ) before I wear it. Looks nice though.

wools · 07/09/2013 08:47

It is a lovely jumper - lots of great colours!

I ordered one in the red/orange. It was lovely quality but just didn't suit me - I think the neckline was slightly too high.

orangeandemons · 07/09/2013 10:37

Yes, the neckline is quite high...

MrsCampbellBlack · 07/09/2013 10:38

I like the neckline - looks good with a big necklace. Just can't bring myself to type 'statement necklace' Wink

The unpronounceable skirt has just arrived. Looks fab with Boden top, thick tights, boots and jacket without being too sweaty and wrapped up.

orangeandemons · 07/09/2013 10:55

Looks crap with big norks though Sad

KatieScarlett2833 · 07/09/2013 11:08

Sadly I don't have that problem Hmm

wools · 07/09/2013 12:03

Yes I can see it would look great with a "statement necklace" Wink.

Have ordered - thanks for all your input everybody.

I found it too baggy round the middle - not that it's meant to be tight, but it was just an odd shape on me. I got a cashmere crew from Jack Wills instead that's a much nicer shape.

It's just arrived and I really like it. The shade of pink is gorgeous. It is a thin knit though so not really a winter jumper but will work really well under jackets. Thanks everybody for all your input.

Glad you like wools. I have it too, and am equally enamoured of the colour. I've never really done much pink before, but clearly have been missing out.

iMe · 11/09/2013 22:19

It is only 3/4 sleeve? How did I miss that? I ordered one yesterday thinking it was long sleeve. Gah!

hackneybird · 11/09/2013 23:17

I've got it in leopard print and I love it. I like the high neck line. I wish they did it in black.

blue22 · 12/09/2013 09:31

I've got it and really like it. Looks great with jeans and blazer. Haven't tried it with skirt yet.
