I don't think I could work it either. I know what you mean about liking it but I like everything Anthro. does anyway.

Return it and find something else is what I'd do.

Mia · Kate Spade

It looks like you'd need to dress this up a little, not just wear it with jeans...you say you love it but also that you're not feeling it - if you love it, I'd try to work an outfit out, but if you don't, I'd return it, too.

I like it a lot! It would probably look nice with a pair of chocolate pants, or maybe white? definatly not jeans. I ould ear it with skinny pants and a chunky necklace.

halleybird · Hermes

I think you could work it with trouser jeans for sure. I'd wear it with something like these:

I agree with Ally S return it. I keep tags and receipts till I wear something if it has been 2-3 weeks and I still have not worn it (this is everyday wear not suits and stuff) then I take it back.

cable pullover

cassandra skirt

Depending on how you like to accessorize, I can see a brown/green tone houndstooth fedora with this outfit. I think the sweater would work with camel or brown cords or cord skirt too.

tara t · Marc Jacobs

i guess maybe i should have told you guys that i can't return it.

halleybird & fashionprincess, i think i will try your outfit suggestions tonight... i think they will look really cute.

i have a cute brown skirt, but it's a bit shorter... wish me luck and thanks.

I own this sweater- the absolutely only thing I wear it with is jeans. It looks nice with my AG legends in this wash:

or a pair of my more wide legged trouser/slouchy jeans. I don't wear it with obvious "designer" jeans (ex. seven butt squiggle) because it is more organic looking and it just looks weird, like the styles don't go. I also want to buy a denim mini-skirt to wear with it (just a plain one with maybe a frayed hem- your short brown one may be nice.) I don't think it really is a very dressy sweater. I usually leave my hair wavy when I wear it and wear it either with my flat tan suede boots, or my suede red UGG clogs. I have tried to make it "business casual" and it just doesn't work very well. It is such a pretty sweater, but def. more earthy and is much easier to work in a boho kind of way.

oops these were the jeans:

I think it would look nice with boots and a skirt like this:

or if you want to go a little dressier, a skirt like this and maybe little round toe pumps (but not too high) or black boots, even elf shoes :

lynnie, i like the idea of the denim mini and boots ( i could wear my frye's )!!

i'm going to have lots of stuff to try on when i get home ! yay!

bliss · Dooney & Bourke

lynnie- I love the last pair of shoes you posted

Would you mind telling me where you found them and how much they are? My comp won't let me get the link for them.

lynnie · Chanel

Bliss- They are Seychelles and are $64.99 from www.shoes.com. They are out of a lot of sizes there, but you can try searching the brand to see where else they sell them. The company's page is www.seychellesfootwear.com.

lynnie · Chanel

Oh- and they look exactly like a pair of sigerson morrison flats from a year or two ago. Exactly.

FashionPrincess · Hermes

I definately think that sweater would look great with a denim skirt and your fryes!

rar210 · Marc Jacobs

I bought that, tried it on with everything, and then returned it. I had no luck. But it's a cute sweater.
