  I really like it a lot on you.  It does look cozy and it is the perfect way to try out a new trend.

  I say it's a keeper. Looks good and I like the tone on tone color you paired it with. BTW love your hair color too

  Looks great Joy.  this style of cardigan has me liking them again as well. 

• Angie replied 8 years ago

  Thumbs up.

  Oooh I like the texture of the cardigan, Joy. Looks very cosy and stylish indeed. Love the tonal look, and the tassel necklace is a great touch. And the Pettys are a great bootie, so hurrah for getting them in an extra colour:-)

  Makes sense to me. I love the practicality and coziness of cardigans, andIi like the tonal outfit. Works well with the necklace. Had to smile about the Pettys because I also have putty and snakeskin. Personally I find the the putty too pale for winter, so stone probably makes perfect sense!

  It looks wonderful Joy. A great way to try out a trend. I love cardigans and find them very practical as I work from home. I have a variety of them. I like the easy on/easy off as temperatures change.

  Rachylou and Sterling, thank you. This is feeling quite cozy, like loungewear.
  Mtsofthemoon, thank you for the compliment on my hair.
  Elizabeth, I am liking this style and would invest in another. The burgundy one is tempting me.
  Thank you for the vote of confidence, Angie. If I get another, should I try a smaller size or a petite. It looks longer in the photos than in the mirror.
  Thank you, Inge and Scarlet. The new SE booties came. They are light but bookend my hair pretty well. I could probably have used either the snake or putty for most uses.
  Glory, I agree that cardigans are cozy. This one is not scratchy and could be worn for lounging.

  I like it. And of course I love the tonal look. Cardigans are such are comfy alternative to a jacket. Great for driving around and for travel.

• Karie replied 8 years ago

  A beautiful tonal outfit!

• Windchime replied 8 years ago

  It looks cozy and on trend. You always look gorgeous in cream; I think of it as a signature color for you.

  I also like the tassel necklace on you, a lot.

• Joy replied 8 years ago

  Brooklyn and Karie, tonal looks are my favorite right now, especially with texture mixing.
  Windchime, thank you for the boost of confidence. Cream or similar whites are becoming a year-round look for me.

  Lovely! It's great in the tonal combination! I'd love to see it with a crewneck tee and loafers in a light tan color. You look beautiful in that combination, Joy, with your gorgeous hair!

  FYI, Joy, I find acrylic/cotton blends the best way to do the fiber: not too scratchy and wears better than acrylic/wool (pill city) or acrylic/ wool/alpaca/cashmere (oh, itch!).

  More important, what a good look for you!

• Joy replied 8 years ago

  Mamavalveeta03, i can do that combination from my closet and will try it soon. Thank you for the ideas.
  Cerinda, this is my first try at an acrylic /cotton blend and I am pleased with it after avoiding acrylic for years. So far this piece has not shown pilling.

  I just started watching a Netflix series - Grace and Frankie. In it Jane Fonda wears a cocoon cardigan much like yours and looks terrific. Yours does too. I like the light neutrals. I think they suit your colouring.

• Suz replied 8 years ago

  Lovely soft look on you, Joy! You look wonderful in these tone on tone ensembles. 

• Joy replied 8 years ago

  Kerry, I have not seen that show but suspect that Jane Fonda looks great in anything. I hope to add more light neutrals and less black.
  Suz, the tone on tone outfits are my favorites, especially if they play with texture. I need to learn to play with proportion too. Maybe that should be my January self challenge.

• Beth Ann replied 8 years ago

  I love the Cocoon silhouette, and I think the cream is a wonderful choice, as it keeps the look from becoming heavy and dark.  Well done!  As for footwear "ruts," I think it changing up the colors and textures in your footwear, and sticking with a boot that you know works for you, is a sign of style wisdom!

• Joy replied 8 years ago

  Thankyou , Beth Ann. So helpful from one with so much style wisdom.

• Helena replied 8 years ago

  Think it looks great!

• Firecracker (Sharan) replied 8 years ago

  I agree with Beth Ann--this sweater is a perfect color for you. I think the monochrome outfit is also part of what makes it look elegant on you. Love the tassel necklace, too. And regarding the Pettys, I like to say, "You're not in a rut; you just know what you like." (Plus, what rut? You just tried a cocoon cardigan!)

• Joy replied 8 years ago

  Thank you, Toronto girl and Firecracker. You are right. Trying new-to-me items and styles keeps the ruts at bay.

• gradfashionista replied 8 years ago

  Keep! A lovely silhouette and a textured fabric. It drapes beautifully.

• CocoLion replied 8 years ago

  I love that it matches the jeans so perfectly.  These two items will inject some light into the dark winter months.
