Pink Lotus Drawstring Hem Sweater
I made one purchase from the Green Dragon and Pink Lotus sale on Hautelook a couple weeks ago. I have been hooked on their stuff ever since I first ordered it from Hautelook almost a year ago. So I kind of had to buy something when I saw it again. I didn't see anything super eye-catching, so I just got this drawstring hem sweater. I can't believe how cute it is on, and not to mention super comfy! I was practically living in it all weekend!
Really I think the model pictures don't do the top justice. It is a loose fit, but somehow very flattering. It's a thin and very soft material which almost reminds me of a really nice towel on the inside. The drawstring is made of this cloth fabric that doesn't have any stretch to it, and I guess I could do without it. But it makes the top a bit more interesting I suppose. The bottom band doesn't have any elastic in it, so if I were to remove the tie, it would hang straight down past my butt. I think it definitely looks better tied up a little bit. I just have to remember that it doesn't have any stretch, so I have to make sure to tie exactly where I want it. The thickness of the fabric is really perfect for the weather right now when it's not too cold out but a little too chilly to go outside a short sleeve. I also loved it for lounging around the house this weekend too. Too bad I cooked with it on and managed to splash some sauce on it! But I think it will come off.

I bought this top too! I was so excited. Unfortunatly it arrived on a broken hanger that put a hole in the sleeve! I don't know what to do. I don't want to return it because I can't exchange it for a new one :(

OMG I almost bought that too!!! But I ended up getting one of those v-neck blue and white tie dye dresses instead. I'll let you know how it fits! It should be arriving at my doorstep today, yay!
ReplyDeletePlus it was hard to justify a sweater this time of year when it's 95 degrees outside here every day ;)
@Anon: Oh no! I've had stuff arrive on a broken hanger before but never torn. Is it a small enough hole that you can easily fix it? If so, I'd keep it but call Hautelook to see if you can get some kind of credit/money back. Doesn't hurt to ask! If the hole is unrepairable then maybe just have to return it? =( That sucks though.
ReplyDelete@strawb3rries: Hehe I was wondering if we got the same stuff! I'm wearing mine now and loving it! I don't remember the particular dress you bought, but definitely send a pic! =)
Here's a pic of me in it:
