Candy Rain Pink-White Gradient Ribbon-woven Lace Detail Sweater

Oh gosh, there are sooo many detail points to this that are SO pretty.
The soft gradient from pink to white, the ribbon woven through the front
to make a bow, the sleeves hollowed out and covered with lace,
the lace edge at the end of the sleeves~
It is like wearing a PRECIOUS MARSHMALLOW.
