great sweater
Date:May 13, 2013
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
This short sleeved sweater is great to go over cami's and tank tops. Especially when you need a little cover up. Light weight comfortable. Like that the sleeves are not to long. Perfec for summer.

Ya know, don't like this one as well as the waterfall style that LB carries. I like the less-tailored fit/look. But definitely worth buying, cool and comfortable., Goes GREAT with many of the tube tops and camis that they have out currently.

Perfect Jacket
Date:May 6, 2013
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
This is the best little jacket. It fits true to size. If you like a little room you make want to go up a size. I plan to get them in every color, Perfect add on to strapless and spaghetti strap tops and maxis.

Light and comfortable
Date:May 6, 2013
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
This spring and summer cardigan is perfect for work to wear over a cami. It's light and airy and keeps you cool yet stylish in warmer weather. I pair it with a lace cami , pencil skirt and chunky jewlery for a nice day at the office.

Perfect for summer over sleeveless dresses...
Date:July 28, 2012
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
You have to get this cardigan! It is perfect for anyone who is a little self conscious about their arms! I wear it with all of my sleeveless summer dresses and it is perfect! I bought it one size down and I am really happy with the fit. The material is the perfect weight, not to heavy, but not too light. Very soft and hangs very nicely. It washes well and does not lose it's shape. I wash and hang it to dry. Others said it runs too long, but I think the length is perfect. Perhaps if I had not ordered it a size down I would think it's too long too. I have this is pink, purple and green and while the colors look different than online they are all really beautiful, vibrant colors!

Love these
Date:July 15, 2012
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
These are great for the layered look. I wear them over tanks which is great for the office. The smocking in the back make them look neater. They are cool and comfortable and they are true to size. I have it in the blue and white and my daughter in the purple and green. All look great but it is true that the colors online are off.

LOVE!
Date:June 27, 2012
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
I LOVE these flyaways, and I had been looking for one for summer, and I happened upon these...just what I was looking for! Perfect length and I love the sleeve length as well. The only thing that I don't absolutely love about it is the wide band around the edge, but it is more of a petty sensory thing for me than anything else. I bought it in white and am thinking I might be back to buy another color!

Love Love!

Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
Love, love these cardigans. They are perfect to wear over anything sleeveless. I bought one in every color. They are very lightweight and cottony which means soft. The colors are great and go with everything. I normally wear a 24 and the 22/24 is a perfect fit. I am also short but the length is perfect also.

Ideal layering
Date:June 12, 2012
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
I am so happy with this purchase! I got the purple, love the color! The length is perfect, the smocking in the back gives it an actual shape. I love that it's short sleeved for summer. I love the casual look of no closures and I can wear with anything that I own.
It's not see-through at all. The fabric has a good weight feel to it.

Great fit, bad colors
Date:June 12, 2012
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
Cons: colors are off
This cardigan is great overall. I have one in purple and one in black. They are wonderful for the summer and very light weight. The colors, however, are off if you're ordering online. The manderin red was more of a bright orange and totally not what it looks like online. If you're thinking of buying this, I would suggest going to the store and looking at the color choices and deciding then. The purple on here looks completely different from what is hanging in my closet at home.

Date:June 11, 2012
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort, array of colors
I bought this over piece originally to go with the tie dye tanks but I returned all the tanks but kept the over pieces to wear with some of my new Maxi dresses... This piece is so versatile and comfy... I love the smocking in the back!

Runs very long
Date:June 7, 2012
Pros: Comfort
Cons: Style, Fit
This cardigan runs very long. Partly my fault I should have looked at the measurements more carefully before purchasing it. But it does seem to run even longer than stated in the description. Also it seems pretty boxy in fit. It does run true to size, other than the long length. For me it just didn't work. It is a wonderful blue color though!

I am very disappointed in the coloring of this cardigan. The color I chose online looked like a turquoise/blue color. What I got was teal. Don't be fooled! The fit is fine, but I am very upset over the misrepresentation of color.

This is great for the office! Now I can wear all the spaghetti strap tops to work! I bought the black and I got a size bigger then I normally get... my normal size fit okay but I like how the size bigger drapes better. Highly recommend!

Well cut top, perfect for spring.
Date:May 30, 2012
Pros: Style, Fit
Overall, this is a very cute little cardigan to pair with jeans or a casual skirt. My only warning is that the purple is a little more "barney" purple in real life. I ordered online. It's still a pretty color, just not the purple I expected.

Great summer layering option
Date:May 14, 2012
Pros: Fit, Comfort
I'm a huge fan of layering clothing. It's always a challenge to predict how warm/cold buildings will be as you hop in and out of air conditioning during the summer months. I think this top is very versatile, stylish, and the short sleeves will remain cool into the summer heat and humidity.

LOVE this cardigan!
Date:May 13, 2012
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort, beautiful fabric
This is the cutest cardigan. The smocked back makes the fit great. The colors are gorgeous & can be dressed up or down. Looks especially good with the scoop neck tank. I see some new colors added that I plan to get.
