Maybe you read only part of the message.  It's a sweater set that's supposed to be aging.

 

Sweater sets. Wearing a sweater set can significantly age a woman over 20, according to Harper's Bazaar. They might seem sensible, but in reality, the combo of a cardigan over a matching shell just screams little old lady, even when you don't mean for it to.


Well that's too bad as I have a bunch of sweater sets that I love.  Have worn them mostly for work.  Last time I went out to lunch with a younger colleague she complimented me on one!

@shoesnbags Awe…that just warms my heart!!! My girl is a rescue too that came from a high kill shelter when she was just a puppy. Somebody left her in a box along the side of a highway, because she was born with 3 legs. Like you do with your precious “Grand-dog”, I just ❤️ my girl to pieces!!!

Son and DIL have no children so they really dote on their furry girl.  She is one of those dogs that was transported from a southern shelter to a northern state where demand is greater. She got lucky! This is their second rescue pup - the first lived a happy life and broke their hearts when he died of old age.  That's the only down side of pet ownership.Smiley Sad

I don't want you to think that was my opinion.  I just posted that quote for the poster who had read that "cardigans are aging." I just ordered the TSV.

I’m no fashion buyer.. but I’m pretty there are different qualities of poly just like there are different qualities of cotton. I have never had any of Candace’s clothing pill or start to look old after washing them in cold water and hanging them to dry. They all look like the day I bought them. That’s priceless because I don’t like throwing away my hard earned money. I’m sure this TSV is made of quality fabric. BTW @fairydogmother I enjoy reading all your posts! 😊

Well my goodness thank you. You made my day 🥳

I know it’s absolutely heartbreaking when they have to leave us. We lost our Golden Retriever last year and I swear our rescue gets orders from above from her! If your son and DIL had both of their dogs at the same time, they probably can relate. I believe our dogs were so connected to each other that their bond went well beyond time here on earth.
Like your son and DIL, my husband and I don’t have any children. And we live in New York and our rescue came from a shelter in Kentucky. It’s so very nice when I hear that others were given a “special heart” for animals in need too!!

That seems so silly of Harper's Bazaar. When I think of sweater sets and some cardigans I think of Grace Kelly, many classic lovely vintage sweaters still worn. Definitely not aging. I actually never see very elderly people wearing sweater sets and there are cardigans and then there are cardigans-Spindrift™ Soft Cardigan Sweater

I love these "aging" fashions😊
