My 2 Go To Winter 2012-2013 Knit Cardigan and Sweater

These two sweaters are from Forever21. The one with the & sign has angora rabbit hairs and the striped cardigan has wool.

The cream white sweater is not bad for a spring or fall weather since its is warm, but not really warm enough for winter for me. Also for the first few times I've worn it it was shedding quite a bit. But it doesn't shed anymore after washing it a few times. It does get some balled up lint stuck to it too so be careful. It is a tad itchy on the skin, but its nothing that you can't get use to. Just wear a tee underneath. The fit is loose and its light. Not the best sweater, but its cute and the price isn't bad.

The striped cardigan is much thicker and warmer than the sweater. Its plenty warm for me during the winter. The bottons are lower than I'd like but its good enough. Plus since its lower its good to show off the graphic tee I wear underneath. The top button starts at around the middle of my torso. The buttons are nice quarter sized round plastic buttons woven detail. Buttons on Forever21's cardigans tend to look loosely sewn to the garment so I worry how long the buttons will stay intact. For this cardgian, the buttons are attached to the garment through a loop. After having the cardigan for a few months, the buttons have been scratched during wash and the loops seem alittle stretched so I might have to reenforce them or something. I really like this cardigan so I hope it'll last a couple more years.
