the perfect sweater (part 2)

January 18, 2021/

the perfect sweater really does exist!

About 2 years ago I wrote about my new fave sweater. And 2 years later it still rates. I live in it almost all year-round and still appreciate its versatility. But my hunt for another “the perfect sweater” continued.

Because I also wrote about how I love a good bulky sweater the most. This style is really tricky for me as I am VERY particular. I want:

*A classic sleeve, not raglan (I find raglan sleeves on sweaters make me look like a linebacker)

*Not too-fitted but not too-boxy

*A true turtleneck – not a mock neck, not a cowl neck, not a boat neck

*Not itchy – like, not at all; I am the worst when it comes to itchiness

*A nice, thick, yarn

*Warm, but not too warm to wear in the house over a lightweight tee

I told you I was VERY particular.

Behold!

I couldn’t put this in my cart fast enough. And I’ve basically lived in it ever since. This sweater hits all the marks and is absolutely perfect. The turtleneck is nice and snug, the sleeves are a flattering cut, and the shape is just slightly A-line – so it subtly floats away from the body but isn’t boxy at all.

I got it in this color too:

And it’s on sale!
