It's a Puzzling Piece -DKNY Cozy

First and foremost, if you start this you HAVE to finish this post!
I did this all for you...way too much effort.


The DKNY Cozy

Does this not look amazing?!  Well, I was smitten.  Thought it would be the perfect travel piece.  Damn, one top 12 different ways.  I would be so chic if I just had one of these things.

Daughter and I went to Charlotte this summer.  I had one goal and that was to find this miracle, try it on, and then stalk it on Ebay.  I must be honest, much to Emily's horror, I was pronouncing the name phonetically...DICKENEE.  For those other idiots out there, you just say the individual letters...DEE-KAY-IN-WHY.  Needless to say I got some odd looks from the saleswomen but they knew what I was talking about.  Unfortunately no luck.  So I stalked it on Ebay anyway because I HAD TO HAVE THIS. Grey, size M/L

Here we go...


I am 5'6


Look at my butt.


Arm length perfect.


Comes in P/S or M/L.  I needed more medium than large.


Umm?


Still stumpy with heels.


This is fine.


I can do this too.


WTF


I could not get this to look right.


Swinging my balls.


Meh.


Oh this is attractive.  My hair!


Sort of chic. Maybe?


Okay.


Okay, my ass and hair now look bad.  Thanks Cozy.


I actually kinda like this.


Never mind.


Good God, I did not spend $100 for a grey scarf.  Looks the best.


Again front is fine.


I almost posted a picture of me giving it the finger.  Sigh.  The looks I liked all have the huge knot in the back...which I hate.  Each look took a lot of fussing.  It is 50% silk, 45% cotton, and 5% cashmere.  Feels great but ...UGH!  New house sweater!

  1. You are hilarious! Use it as a wrap, or a blanket while watching TV on a chilly night.
    Some of the looks were cute from the front.

  2. Oh no! Some of those looked really good, but I can appreciate what a pain in the ass it was to style this. It seemed like a good idea, though! Check this one out from Nordstrom: Bobeau Asymmetrical Fleece Wrap Cardigan. I have it and like it so much I ordered a second one in another color (I sized up because the sleeves are snug). No fuss, one button, done. It's warmer than it looks.

  3. You are so funny! Well it is a good theory and the fabric sounds really nice. I never do well with things I have to fuss with even though I do like cozy things.
    I do like the light gray with your blonde hair!

  4. Hilarious! The only look I'd have managed would have been the scarf! But some of these look great from the front.

    1. A bit intimidated by Ebay. Have never sold anything and just recently started hoarding, I mean purchasing stuff :)

  6. BB, you really really made me laugh. I never understand how to work these convertible pieces, so you're a few steps ahead of me. Have you tried Googling tips and tricks?
