It's a hard call because the pictures you took are dark, but I'm not loving it for you. I am not sure why. It's just not a 10/10. It may be more like a 5 or 6. Maybe it's the shape of the collar? I think you can find something this color that looks better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-vince-sweater---does-it-merit-another-splurge#post-1530598 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 04:55:44 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1530598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a luscious color and is a great casual look on you. I'd say there is a reason you passed it up in the first place. But you're having second thoughts, so there's always the option of keeping for a couple of weeks (till after the sale ends) and seeing how you feel then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-vince-sweater---does-it-merit-another-splurge#post-1530596 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 04:48:45 +0000 greycat6 1530596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried that sweater too. I love it on you much more than I did on myself. I felt as though it 'wore me' a little more than I was comfortable with. You, however, look radiant!</p> <p>I echo what others have said. You have to love it, regardless of the price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-vince-sweater---does-it-merit-another-splurge#post-1530349 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 21:43:51 +0000 unfrumped 1530349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get a rugby vibe from it that for me would be really casual, so it would depend on how you like it. I don't think it's "killer" though I can see how it could feel great and be a great FFBO.<br />What I have had to remind myself is how many more things will come along and not feel desperate--as in, <u><i></i></u><i>it's Vince</i>!<u></u> and <i>it's on sale</i>!<i> </i>As long as you don't fall into that trap you're good. Also one reason why I have come to love Nordstrom is the opportunity to try several things at "no cost". That way I can compare&nbsp;items sometimes and know what's out there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-vince-sweater---does-it-merit-another-splurge#post-1530342 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 21:41:37 +0000 Glory 1530342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it must make your heart sing and tell you that you must have it.

So it's really a question of how much you love it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-vince-sweater---does-it-merit-another-splurge#post-1530206 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 18:11:07 +0000 catgirl 1530206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's fine but not a WOW for me. It's just a nice sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-vince-sweater---does-it-merit-another-splurge#post-1530205 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 18:10:24 +0000 Anonymous 1530205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I like the sweater. &nbsp;A lot. &nbsp;My mouse hovered over the add to cart button a few times . &nbsp;But - it IS expensive, and you have to be totally over the moon about it . The only thing that stopped me from buying it (other than the ridiculous Cdn price) was because it looked like a man's sweater being worn by a woman. &nbsp;Too long in the sleeve . &nbsp;I vote pass too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-vince-sweater---does-it-merit-another-splurge#post-1530192 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 17:44:05 +0000 carter 1530192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the price, I also think you can do better. So glad you like those Kut jeans. I think they're amazing. The *old me* would have triplicated. The *new me* is trying very hard not to duplicate;-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-vince-sweater---does-it-merit-another-splurge#post-1530187 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 17:35:15 +0000 Quietgirl 1530187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Sterling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-vince-sweater---does-it-merit-another-splurge#post-1530174 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 17:12:47 +0000 Anonymous 1530174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. &nbsp;I can't say it speaks to me. &nbsp;I would respectfully suggest passing on it in favor something better down the line. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2nd-vince-sweater---does-it-merit-another-splurge#post-1530157 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 16:52:08 +0000 AviaMariah 1530157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My 3rd shipment came from NAS and I did really well. &nbsp;Most of what I'm keeping is basics like a couple LS Caslon T's and a couple Halogen slub T's. &nbsp;I didn't take pictures of these and also didn't bother taking pictures of the darker pants as they're too hard to see. But I'm keeping the Gray KUT ponte pants which fit just as well in regular as they do in petite; they just need to be hemmed. &nbsp;I'm also keeping the NYDY ski pants. &nbsp;I don't like them as well as the KUTs because I'm not crazy about not having pockets on the backside but I have a lot of longer cardigan that I can wear these with to give my KUTs a break. I also ordered the KUT black jeans (can KUT do no wrong?) after seeing them on Carter (?). &nbsp;Those are amazing and bittersweet as they are replacing a pair I bought at Karen Millen a few years ago that I was pressured into buying by the SA and have never liked. Lesson #254 learned.<br />My question is this Vince sweater. &nbsp;I had tried it on in the store but didn't buy it as I knew I was ordering the Vince crewneck which I'm keeping. &nbsp; But I re-ordered this one and am wondering if it's worth keeping too. &nbsp;It is so soft and comfortable that I'm worried my comfort goggles may be clouding my judgement. &nbsp;I know it will get a lot of wear but I also realize that there will be a lot more choices in the coming months. Although I am not likely to buy Vince at the regular price point. &nbsp;Is it anything special to look at or just ho-hum? &nbsp;I'm wearing it here with the gray KUTs which is probably how I'd wear it for work. &nbsp;Thanks for the help!!</p> <p> </p>
