yay/nay to these items?

CheryleB · Kenneth Cole

Here is my two cents:

The cardigan is conservative but will fit well with many outfits when its a bit chilly. I would get it and in fact have a similar blue short sleeved cardigan in my closet.

The dress is fabulous and I would love to have it. I may have to e-bay search and see if they have it in an 8.

I don't like the skirt but am sure others will. I've never been a Lili fan and find many of her items are too bright and bold for my taste.

i like the cardigan! i'm kind of on the fence about the dress. not into the skirt.

Okay, I don't like Lilly Pulitzer at all, so no help there. Her colors make my eyes hurt. But who'd have guessed you're a closet prep? *wink*

The dress I love! I think it would totally suit you.

And the sweater...first, thinking back on TS posts, I don't remember you wearing much blue. Will that sweater easily work into your current wardrobe? I understand why you are looking at it, but I think you could do better. It kind of says "matronly" to me on the hanger, though on your curves it probably will not look matronly at all. :) But maybe a little short-sleeved blazer would suit your needs better?

Kelly · Hermes

I like the sweater and think it would work well in transitional weather. Love the color.

I'm on the fence about the dress.

No to the skirt. I get the appeal of it, but I don't think it's worth owning.

HeatherLynn · Gucci

I like the concept of the cardi, but think you can find a cuter one.

Love, love the dress. I also think it would be great for the dessert party.

I am also not a fan of certain Lilly P prints and this is one of those.

TheLovelyLady71 · Hermes

I like the cardigan, nice color.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE the dress.

The skirt is cute, but not 100% sure about it.

bloomie · Marc Jacobs

That skirt is too adorable!!!

relrel · Marc Jacobs

My twelve cents:

1. The cardigain: Like altgirl, I'm just not sure the color would fit well into your wardrobe. It also seems sorta boxy. The idea is great...just not that sweater.

2. The dress: Perfection, and on you...even better. :)

3. I love the skirt. And I think it would work really well in LA weather- a plain white tank and plain white thongs. It is a tricky skirt- you have to be careful to wear it will neutrals only.

Kitty · Hermes

No to the cardigan and the skirt, but I love the dress!

alagirl · Kenneth Cole

yes, yes and yes.
I like relrel's suggestion with the skirt, white tank, and thongs.
I love preppy stuff.

I really like the dress.

Farrah · Marc Jacobs

I'm going to say nay on all of it.

rlutz · Chanel

I love the dress and the skirt

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

cardigan is ok..
dress is fabulous
please say no to pink and green elephants!

blubirde · Chanel

I think the cardi is a little boxy, but it can still work in some situations.

I love, love, love the dress. I need the dress. Off to search...

I'm not a LP fan, so that's a big no for me, prep or not.

Claudia · Gucci

The cardi is ok, but you can do better.
I loooove the dress. You can definitely pull it off.
I'm not liking the skirt too much.

Personally:
1. No - the color is odd (but I don't wear blue) and I find v-neck cardigans matronly. Did you see the jewelneck s/s cropped cardigans on Gap.com? Cable knit, cotton/cashmere blend, not too spendy.

2. Sure - it's very dramatic.

3. I wouldn't wear it, but I suppose someone else could look adorable in it, with a white beater and heeled sandals, say, or over a bikini. It must be possible to mitigate the screaming preppiness of it through the side dishes, right?
