Dressing room: which one, or none?

Looking for wool knit sweaters. What do you think of these?

#1 Short boxy sweater in petrol: I'm not sure the neckline is good on me. I like that the fabrics is more substantial. https://www.hallhuber.com/no/k.....etrol.html

#2 Emerald pussy bow sweater: Neckline question again and does the bow look too fussy? Is it too clingy? I 'll wear it skirts, tucked in. https://www.hallhuber.com/no/u.....aragd.html

#3 sorry for not getting the colours right. The left one is petrol (more blueish) and the right one is emerald (more greenish).

I like the one with the bow best!

I like the fit best of #1 but the style and color of #2. Can you size up a size in 2?

I just saw that would wear #2 tucked in, so disregard my post above. Can you get both?

Thank you, zoiechic and Joy! I like the emerald colour best, too, but I'm afraid the pussy bow will distract me.

Yesterday when I was at Talbots I tried on a top with the same neckline as your #1. It fit well, but I thought the neckline seemed constricting, somehow. I passed on it. I like your #2.

Joy, we double posted. Both are full prize, so I have to choose one (or none).
JAileen, #1 didn't feel constricting, but the emerald colour "sparks more joy" than the petrol.

I like the fit of 1 best, but I understand liking the color of 2 better.

I prefer the fit of #1.

#1 has the best fit. Did you buy one of them?

I like the pussybow one! But I don't know if you will find it hard to wear under a coat.

Thank you, delurked, Angie, Karie and peacechick! Posting here always starts a conversation, both with YLF and within myself, which is really helpful.

Since I liked the fit and shape of #1 and the colour of #2, I decided to pass on both.

My reasoning was that if I bought #1, I'd probably not be 100% satisfied with the colour. If I bought #2, I'd probably not so happy with the pussy bow because that was my first thought when I tried it on ("this is going to be fussy"), and also dissatisfied with the fit. In addition, I asked myself (Marie Kondo style) if any of the items sparked joy. My answer was hesitant, so I told myself to be patient and picky.

What really sparked a joy, was instead a small red shoulder bag in suede and faux leather (H&M). It caught my eye some weeks ago and I've been thinking of how much fun it would add to any simple outfit because of the the pop of colour. So that's where my bucks went yesterday.

I LOVE the red with the pink. Go for it, Monica.

Thank you, Angie! I was thinking of how you match colours together when I saw this pic.

I got the last one in store yesterday! It's fun with the Zara coat and goes really well with my wardrobe. It's exactly what I needed to refresh my wardrobe. Might wear the red bag with a fuchsia sweater tomorrow.

Always nice to be thought of. The bag will work with your new Zara coat too.
