Would you buy this sweater? (color, extension, look, thin)

What do you think?


Its French Connection, marked down from $248 to $55. sound good? My kids said it looks "dumpy". Well, I am a 60-year old woman who doesn't want to look dumpy!

What would I wear it with? Solid colors, could get away with some prints in the right shades. I wouldn't spend $248 for such limited options, but for $55, well......Go, Granny!

Not my cup of tea but that doesn't matter...if you are buying it for yourself what to YOU think about it?

I don't know.....like I said, for $248 no way, too limited, but for $55, well....

what to wear with it? Black jeans, solid turtleneck in gray, orange, green, black, then perhaps some prints....depends......

[MaryleeII]

How about a purple silk blouse or scarf? Real daring for Granny....

I like it. I like your pairings above, except for the idea of prints.

[MaryleeII]

Yep, live a little....hey, how about a yellow silk blouse with it and a string of tarnish-proof forks around my neck---lol

Looks good to me. Doesn't look at all dumpy.

bwahahaha!

I wouldn't buy it for myself, but I'm 5'5" and overweight, so that style would do NOTHING for my shape.

It wouldn't flatter me, either, but I like it. It's a style a friend of mine calls a "grandpa sweater," but the color blocking makes it pop. I say go for it! The fun thing about being over 60 is that you don't have to give a rat's ass what anyone thinks.
