Dare I? Another WIB!!

Hi Ladies,

When I returned the patterned jacket to Myer, I did come home with something else.  Just FYI I am still 'enjoying' some gift vouchers I received for birthday in June:)  

This purchase is a little better thought out, probably very typical for me and motivated by practicality.

I have 4 winter weight but still streamlined (no chunky) sweaters (only 2 are office appropriate) and three lighter weight ones for Spring. I have been wanting to add another work appropriate one to my winter capsule but wasn't going to buy anything that wasn't perfect. My desire to increase my sweater capsule is based on that two things;  1.  I am currently working in a very cold office (old building) and a smart, sleek sweater worn over skirts or pants is ideal for the really cold days, and 2. I am now only working 2 days so dressing down those sweaters (again very cold days) for the other 5 days of the week, (where I wear many hats) seems to make good sense.

So here it is:)  Sorry not modeled by me, but the fit is very much the same as these catalogue pics.  It's a lovey navy, soft, refined knit, in a length that will work equally well over skirts or pants.

What do you think?  Can I keep this purchase??

xxx Deborah

    Absolutely YES! Oh, I love this sweater Deb.....like seriously.

    The back is very interesting, much like the 

    Suzanne Grae Metalic Silver Split Back Sweater you have, but with an asymetrical front too....LOVE IT! I can already picture you doing wonders with this one! Great pick

    Maneera, you have an awesome memory.  Yes it's like the Suzanne Grae only round neck not v,  and the front of this one is a little shorter.  It's an easy style for me and I can create variety by what I layer under it.

    Thanks xx

    I haven't jumped on the split back sweater train but this one is VERY tempting.  I love the way it drapes and can't wait to see it on you.

    Fabulous! And you were a very good sport about the jacket :)

  • Deborah replied 8 years ago

    Thanks Ladies:) 

    And Brookly, I honestly post wanting honest feedback so I am always ready to receive lol.  Deep down I knew the jacket wasn't quite right, but I allowed my friend to encourage me to buy it.  But, now I know and it's out of my system x
