OUTFIT #1
My thoughts on this outfit:
Pros:
It is probably one of my most favourite outfits to wear when the weather is very cold. I can layer a thin t-shirt underneath it for extra warmth as I tend to ALWAYS be colder than everyone else! I like that this outfit is somewhat versatile and can be either dressed up with black pants or dressed down with jeans.
Cons:
Because it is thicker like a vest I cannot wear it with my fitted winter coat (I cannot do up the zipper). If I am planning on being outside I need to wear my larger weather coat (which I hate) and then I am too hot! It also has a hood which gets in the way with the hood on my winter coat. Finally, I find the sweater makes me look flat chested, and if you have small boobs like me you don't need any more shrinkage in that area! LOL!

Finally what are your thoughts? Does it look as cheap as it costs? Do I look like a 28 year old mom or a 28 year old trying to be 16? (I did buy the sweater from the "Juniors" section of the store as the Woman's section is a bit to conservative for me or geared towards "the working business woman" type.)

This is awesome! I love the total outfit cost. We make a yearly trip to Michigan too (can't beat those prices)
I would say this is pretty fashionable and yes it does look like you're 28 (not 16). You did better than me!
Thanks for participating
I really like the outfit! It looks comfortable but not frumpy. Fashionable, for sure. :)
