"Sophisticated casual style"
Love it---would love to see it in more colors. Speaking of color, I would not call mine cranberry red...it is more wine-colored or bordeaux than how it appears online. I hope to see more of the 100% baby alpaca sweaters--not a fan of blends. (While in Peru they never had my size so I really appreciate the XL sizes they offer at Novica :-)
