I bought this red BF cardi at Forever 21 when I went to do a return last weekend:

I couldn't resist the red and the Micheal Jackson-ish grey bands on one sleeve. But looking at it now, I don't mind it, but I'm not digging it? It was so inexpensive.

This a cow neck top I scored at BR on sale:

I love the feel and drape of the wonderfully soft fabric. I really like it, except for that it is another neutral. Which isn't necessarily bad I suppose I couldn't find it in another color or print.

Sorry for the hazy pictures and the slick, oily face. I have family over and am having to squeeze in a picture here and there.
Thank you much!

The cowl neck top is very pretty. The sweater is cute, but I don't think that it hits you in the best spot.

I agree with CS, the cardi is a little long. The cowl neck is lovely!

i just have to say....i love your shelving! and the color of your walls! so bright and yummy....
and while i think the combo of red and grey looks great on you, i'm not wow'd by the cardigan...the BR top though is a definite keeper!

I really like both. I am all about neutrals, and I think the cowl is a great basic. I also think the cardigan looks great - both the color and style. The only thing I would wonder about it is F21 quality, but if it's reasonable, I would def. keep.

I like both too, Vani. I love the BR top! It’s FABULOUS. I think the cardi is really sweet as well :0)

LOVE the colour of your walls. Our guest room is that colour too.

Vani, you are so pretty! I don't remember seeing your face before this. Wow! You look great in red. The cardi is fun & sporty -- great weekend piece. I'm sure you'll find tons to wear with the BR top too. Nice buys!

I like both! The sweater is adorable and I like the length, and the cowl neck is really pretty.

Oh, that cowl neck is great. I like the color. I also like the cardigan. It's got the kind of edge, with that asymmetry going on, that I think I need to add to my look.

I LOVE the BR top on you! Wow! That is a tough color for most people to carry it off, but it works so well with your beautiful skin tone.

Actually, we are kind of BR cowl-neck top twins. Mine is one of the older colors (minty green and white print.) It is such a flattering cut.

Thanks so much for the wonderful compliments and kind words everyone!!! You know just how to make a girl's day I'm glad the everyone approves of the cardi, it was such a random buy.

Angie, Srujana, thank you The first thing we did before moving in was paint he wall that color and then buy those shelves LOL Those shelves are the first pieces of furniture DH and I bought together. The paint was his idea and the shelves, mine

Kari, you were the person I thought of as soon as I saw the top! I call it the "Kari" top I loved the print on your top but I couldn't find any. That top just comes to life on you

I like the red cari with the strip on one sleeve. I think it fits you beautifully and it is very cute.
I also love the cowl neck top, it has great drape to it and you look good in that neutral. You are so beautiful.
I agree the walls and shelving are GREAT. What a nice big room. I see your nice dog there too.

That's such a wonderfully fun cardi Vani. I would definitely keep it! The grey cowl neck top is fab too, it may be a 'neutral' but it's a very stylish one!
