{plus size style} Curvy Lily collegiate sweater

ByLindley Ashline

Now that it’s colder, I’m looking for some nice fall and winter pieces. This is a new sweater from a brand called Curvy Lily.

This is an unusual piece for me. I’m not a huge super-tight-sweater person and I’m not a ‘crop top/barely-comes-down-to-the-line-of-your-pants’ person, so I’m not sure how I feel about this one. It’s sort of a collegiate-looking sweater. And it’s got this – like if I stretch, it shows my belly. If it were cold, I would want to wear something like a cami or something underneath it anyhow for warmth.

But I really liked the shape of it online. I can’t really say how I feel about it in person.

What do you think? Should I keep this? Is it a keeper? Let me turn around and show you the back. Let me know what you think!
