Thank you so much for the review. It was really helpful to hear from someone who has both. I decided to pick up the white/gray. I agree with @Chi-town girl and would like to have a solid color. But I'll try it in this subtle version of the ombré. Thanks again!

So glad to help. Let me know how you like it after you get it!

@Sunnycorle

My white/gray ombre is supposed to arrive on Thursday. Fingers crossed!

I got my Colleen Lopez cardi today (thanks to your recommendation) and it is amazing. Someone described it as a soft cashmere experience. I think it feels waaaay softer. It will be my new companion on airplanes. Thanks again for your suggestion. I hope Collen does this again in solid colors.

@Karnerblue @Sunnycorle @islandgrrl - a reorder of this cardi is available/just posted online. Scheduled for shows later today. I need a new black cardi & will get one of the ombré.

There is also a new cape & cold shoulder top!!!

I am really liking the cold shoulder one now that I am looking at it. I wonder if Colleen is a medium in that one as well (just trying to gauge size-wise)?? I want to see the presentation of this one too and hope it is presented... I really like that oatmeal/raisin one...

I recently purchased the BD circle cardigan and love it. That's why I wanted to try this one for a little less $$. As another person said though, it sheds... Mine shed like crazy up at the top of my shoulder where my purse straps would sit. Plus I noticed my dark jeggings would get full of it too... but it is such a cozy fabric that I love it.

How is the sizing? Is it similar to Barefoot Dreams? @KellKats @islandgrrl

@skyblue I don't have colleen lopez one so I can't compare the two. I just ordered the cold shoulder one tonight based on what they were saying the models were wearing and tried to go according to their size... Colleen just said they have a bit of stretch in them so I like that.

I do know that with m BD one, it substantially shrunk in my dryer and it even said tumble dry low on it!! thank goodness it did stretch back out and is perfect again - i was scared when I took it out of the dryer and could tell it shrunk quite a bit! I believe this CL one says to lay flat which is what i will be doing.

@Chi-town girl did you see HSN's version of Barefoot Dreams Ombre Cardi? $50 vs $92 and looks exactly the same.
@Karnerblue - thx for posting. I don't think I've seen Colleen's wrap presented. It does look nice. And excellent price point. I like these 3 color options

Did you buy one? Can anyone post a review?

Colleen Lopez Ombré "Keeping it Cozy" Cardigan

I really like this & I need something because I'm freezing at work half the time. I do not want to spend that much though.

I like the solid black, the pewter/black (sold out), and the purple one. Actually, I think I might like all of them...
