ski sweaters

The alpaca softness, colors and stitching of this sweater have made this my absolute favorite -- and I have A LOT of sweaters! I wore it recently on a trip and got so many compliments. The picture just does not do it justice!

I have been eyeing this sweater for months. Finally, I was able to save $20 off, so placed my order. I am a fan of Ana Fernandez's sweaters, and this one did not disappoint. The sweater fits me perfectly (size S). I can wear it buttoned down or not. The colors make it possible to wear with lots of different color slacks or jeans, although it is just a tad dressy for the latter. The pattern is woven in; at first I thought it was embroidered on, but I assure you it is woven as part of the garment. It truly is better in person than in the photo. And it is sooo soft. I absolutely love this item: the style, the overall pattern on the front, cuffs, and back, as well as its versatility. Ana has a fan in me. I can't wait to see what she designs next.

Gosh, how I love these sweaters! When the cherry one arrives any day now, I will own 3. This beige and turquoise one is gorgeous. The colors are subdued, but somehow the whole sweater manages to look sexy, to hide any bodily "flaws," and to look slimming. The patterns line up perfectly, the size is perfect, and the sweater looks great open or buttoned. I highly recommend this sweater and the artist, Ana Fernandez.
