I'm thinking about getting this sweater in a size up to wear with leggings. Thoughts?
Pedro Pascal's characters have a 100% mortality rate. At this point, casting him is a spoiler.
The embellished neckline detail adds such a luxe touch without being over the top. I'm sold!
What about swapping the white blouse for a soft ivory? Might be more flattering for some skin tones
