It was very no frills but was thick and plush looking.

My absolute favorites are all the shawl-collar sweaters. Last year I was all about the cashmere shrunken shawl-collar cardi. This spring I love my Georgia cardis. I also adore the lofty cashmere shawl-collar pullover sweaters as well as this year's cabin popover. Bring on more shawl-collars!3-Penny Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00579349047540517734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-55519827394442480152009-05-16T10:50:00.000-04:002009-05-16T10:50:00.000-04:00Ooh, I missed on a poll somehow, but my vote would...Ooh, I missed on a poll somehow, but my vote would have gone to library undoubtedly! :) It was fun to read what others chose nevertheless!:))Slastenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11977562748740305040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-57989633348167625612009-05-16T04:08:00.000-04:002009-05-16T04:08:00.000-04:00Kristen,

I do not do sheer (waste of money to me as I am always cold and they seem to wear out very easily.) I take super good care of my white square neck Talboats tee that I bought a few years ago.

I totally understand that. <br /><br />She actually laughs when something is too long on me because it never happens. I think she laughs because she knows I now know her pain. :)dinagideonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892195449655319256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-18386636984966414972009-05-15T16:19:00.000-04:002009-05-15T16:19:00.000-04:00HeidiG: You crack me up.

(And you know what? I swim, like a lot, and supposedly swimmers all have great shoulders...umm, no, I am here to prove that adage wrong...)<br /><br />I also think that in addition to you telling me when shoulders are too narrow, you also tell me when shoes are too narrow. ;) You are the best! I love you in all those cardis, btw. Perfection!<br /><br />Anon @ 3:02: Yeah, you are so not alone...I have been reading that over at JCA. Jackie is letting so many of you all down. Bad girl. :)<br /><br />The recent sweaters have been thin. I don't mind that because I run hot (yuck), so the only way I can typically wear sweaters is if they are thin...must be why I love "featherweight" cashmere. LOL.<br /><br />Kristin: Your wish, my command...maybe Sunday or Monday I will put it up? I think a few ladies will throw their two cents in before Monday, though. I don't wear a lot of white tees and the ones I do I always wear with a nude bra or cami, so the sheerness isn't too big of a deal, but I so can understand why you would want something more substantial!<br /><br />Tastymoog: Well that's okay! I will forgive you! :) (I almost voted twice myself...)<br /><br />I have heard a lot of good things about that french terry one. Lot of ladies love that one!!!<br /><br />sparrowsandsparkles: Yes, no way!!! Vanessa is the shortie at 5'7" so I figure if she is wearing it and it hits at her knee then it should hit me at the same place (I am only 1 inch taller than her). The one model has to be VERY TALL. She always looks very uncomfortable in the clothes. Her poor feet are all squeezed into the shoes and I just want to yell, "Just let her go barefoot!"<br /><br />I think fit models are the ones that the companies use to make the clothing from...so if their fit model is 5'6" and has 40 inch hips, a 30 inch waist, and a 37 inch bust, then she is their size 10 model...or something like that. Maybe they have one fit model for each size? I want to be a fit model...just so I can 100% guarantee that I can wear a size! :) We can all dream, right?dinagideonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892195449655319256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-91095685020449932512009-05-15T16:16:00.000-04:002009-05-15T16:16:00.000-04:00S&S - I'm no JC SC rep (clearly) but a fit...S&S - I'm no JC SC rep (clearly) but a fit model is different than a catalog model. <br /><br />The fit model is the person on whom they fit the clothing and that determines hem length, sleeves, etc, and that would match the description in the catalog. One notable example of a fit model is the creator of Paige Premium Denim - she was a fit model for jeans for years so she really knows her denim.<br /><br />Whereas the catalog model - someone different than the fit model and the clothing is (clearly) styled to within an inch of its life.<br /><br />HTH! Or at least that it makes sense.HeidiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335791412412897005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-60139892355230348072009-05-15T16:10:00.000-04:002009-05-15T16:10:00.000-04:00sparrowsandsparkles, I'm 5'1" and find it amusing/...sparrowsandsparkles, I'm 5'1" and find it amusing/annoying that they use the SAME models (same picture, really) for regular, tall and petites.

I haven't had major issues with newer ones (no holes or discoloration), but they do not seem to retain their shape as well, and have loose buttons of course. So, I had to give a vote to french terry because I am very surprised at how much I enjoy the french terry shawl collar cardigan.tmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794767345499432177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-37020056096601680652009-05-15T15:08:00.000-04:002009-05-15T15:08:00.000-04:00Please - a poll about the best white tshirt.

I do love my Lili, but it's not as wearable as my Library, which is why I paid FP for Library and got Lili on sale.<br /><br />New arrangement - I'll let you know when I find something too tight in the shoulders and you can tell me when you find something too linebacker-y. That should work, lol!!HeidiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335791412412897005noreply@blogger.com
