Ahhhhh, yes, there is finally a crisp chill to the air each morning and sweater weather is upon us and I thought this would be the perfect time to try out a new shop with some great vintage styles. Ever wary of new shops, I approached Cider cautiously because it's really hard to tell these days what's legit and what's fake. So, I read reviews, looked around, maybe saw a video or two and decided to give this little shop a try.
I bought three sweaters from Cider on this go-round and one thing that I noticed was that a lot of the negative reviews centered around how short the tops are, so I really tried to pay careful attention to the length of each item. On my second trip I wasn't so vigilant and I got burned with a top that is so short even wearing it with my high waist trousers there's still midriff showing. Other than that, my order shipped quickly, arrived quickly, and I got a discount on my first order which was pretty nice.
This Comfort Zone Floral sweater had the most vintage appeal for me and to it's credit it is very soft and quite pretty. I will add though that it seems very delicate and I would hand-wash only when it comes to this sweater.
So much color to love in this Rainbow Hollow Knitted Vest, I'm looking forward to wearing this in those dismal winter months. This vest is well made and so cheerful.
The vest is well made, fits true to size and will work perfectly for layering....well, it would if I were actually going to get to wear it. Unfortunately, both my children called dibs on this vest the moment they saw it and I have since relinquished it into their closet for them to dispute their claims of ownership amongst themselves.
Lastly, I ordered this Puff Sleeve Cable Knit sweater and as cute as it is, it feels like it's woven from plastic. It's rough and scratchy and I can't imagine wearing it without a shirt underneath.
