In the past, I've had some pretty serious disagreements with wool sweaters. Itchy arms, scratchy torso, and red neck kind of disagreements. So the other day when I stopped at h&m with my 40% off coupon in hand (seriously, 40% off at h&m!!- get on the email list if you aren't already) and saw this sweater, I gave a big sigh when the tag said 5% wool.
After a quick walk around the store, this sweater was still calling my name. Those 3 buttons on the shoulder just really got to me. I figured I could layer it over a button up to avoid all possible skin contact. When I got home and tried it on over my t-shirt, I braced for an itchy reaction. But it never happened.
Ladies and gentlemen, it turns out that 5% wool is just what this girl can handle. If you need me, I'll be spending the rest of the winter reading sweater tags.
That sweater is so pretty! I'm such a sucker for buttons on the shoulders and weird little folds etc on tops, lol. I'll def have to mentally bookmark the 5% wool! I have the same problem!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your sweater! I wish I had an H&M near me. Sigh. Until then, I will just have to live vicariously off of your posts. Also, I think this is the perfect fall outfit.

I am not a fan of wool either (even with lining) they always scratch through. What a great deal on the sweater!

Thanks Kate! The H&M in Portland is pretty new- so I'm glad it's finally here. Maybe you'll get one someday!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christy. I hope you find something with wool that works for you!
