Which one, if any? - YouLookFab Forum

Still on my quest to add knitwear. I have a $150 gift card that I earned through my health insurance that I can use at Neiman Marcus, and while in Chicago I stopped in and found these three items. Is any worth buying, with the $150 discount?

Joie mushroom cashmere tie tunic, $328
Vince navy/grey striped cashmere turtleneck, $320
Alice & Olivia black merino bell sleeve, $285

I'm going to sleep on this and swing back through tomorrow to purchase, if that is what I decide. Would love your thoughts. I had hoped to buy non black knits but I have to say the uniqueness of the bell sleeves is calling to me. Still, I also like the others for various reasons, so I am legitimately torn. And I can also wait.

Other stores where I can use this card include Macy's, Lord and Taylor, and the Gap family - but I don't tend to have a lot of luck at any of them. But I could buy bras or something.

I vote bell sleeves if you can stand them... Whimsy without precious and totally on trend.

I love the stripes...second the Joie one.

I adore the bell sleeved Alice & Olivia top. It looks so chic, feminine and lovely on you.

I also like the bell-sleeved top best. Bonus: it's the lowest priced of the bunch.

Love the black, second choice the mushroom but I'm not sure about the tie.

I don't know your needs or budget or wardrobe. But I find the black one really special.

another vote for the bell sleeves, although i do like the open neck of the mushroom one.

I WANT THAT BELL SLEEVED TOP.

I love the bell sleeved top. A little short with pants perhaps, Viv? What do you think?

My favourite on you here is the Vince stripe. Killer Perfect. I like #3 too.

I like the bell sleeves, but I might still hold out for something you love--NM often has really steep sales on top brands online, if you're patient.

Angie: you don't think the bell-sleeve sweater works with higher waist pants? It seems like so many sweaters are shorter this season .....

I think the 3rd one looks really nice on you - it drapes over your form very well, I think.

It will work with higher-waist pants, Viv. Do you have those - try them with our new Jodies?

The Jodis hit me at the same place these Teddis do - the ones I am trying them on with. Right at the belly button.

But with low contrast. I think it will be fab!

Perfect. Thank you!

They are all fab but my fav is the BELL SLEEVE! I love it on you.

I agree with Angie

Bell sleeve.

I adore the bell sleeved top, even if it is black. You could always add a necklace or scarf to lighten it up. Or not. I think it looks fab as is. The striped top is my next favorite, but then I'm a sucker for stripes.

I like the first two sweaters on you. A lot. I'm not loving the last one. I think the coloring isn't great on you, and I'm not crazy about the tie.

I like that last sweater on you because of the colour. I don't think it is glam gamine though.
The bell sleeves has a great neckline for you.

My pick is the mushroom, but it looks more casual. I like the tie, which is a little retro-glam, yet unexpected on the a-line tunic shape. I can see it more with jeans. It doesn't have your usual crisp, modern look for work.
