What do you think of this sweater?

atlgirl · Gucci

I loved it until I saw the back. The back is waaaay too cutesy for me, personally.

HeatherLynn · Gucci

I'm not a fan of the back AT ALL. Sorry. =(

Ditto.

Hedvig · Coach

I don't like the back either, sorry.

cat · Marc Jacobs

I don't care for the back either,the birds are kind of creepy to me.
Sorry.

Kitty · Hermes

Too cutesy.

Teresa · Kate Spade

is it soul revival?

TheLovelyLady71 · Hermes

Yeah, I agree. Was loving it, until I saw the back. Nothing against birds, but.... LOL

Kelly · Hermes

agreed. I absolutely adored it and had to have it until I scrolled down for the back. I feel like that "love bird" concept could have been done so much better....and smaller...and not on the back at all... basically I like love birds but not on this sweater

ETA: bloomie, I feel like lately when you ask for opinions I'm not nice and I say I don't like everything. I do get what you see in most things, it's just that I think the execution of the concepts could be better. I'm not trying to say I don't like your taste or anything. I just noticed that that's how I've been responding to your polls lately and I don't mean anything malicious by it

I don't take it that way at all. I appreciate your honesty. When I ask for opinions it is because there is usually something about the piece that I am a little unsure about but can't quite put my finger on. Upon a second look, the birds do look a little freaky. I think they could have been made to look a little sweeter and also a little smaller.

My first thought when I looked at the back was that it was a bad copy of Joystick brand clothing.

Hm. So cute in the front. The only way I could see this work semi-well on anyone is if it is worn by a woman who dresses vintage all the time and occasionally (perhaps accidentally) takes it to a costumey level. Maybe she's going to a Rockabilly-revival show or something. I would say that one must wear this with one's tongue in cheek. Every time I look at that sweater, I think of my friend "Fifties Tracy." That is what I call her because her style is all-1950s-all the time.
