You've raised such good points! I'm so glad I asked for advice. I do love this style and color but it is a lot for such a basic piece and it is not free shipping or free returns. And, I'm not sure I even qualify for the 20 percent off. I am not ordering. Maybe I will keep an eye out to try on one day in person, or I will try the uniglo turtleneck or similar style at a much better price. Thanks again.

Can you trust anthro for quality? I don't know because I've never purchased from there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-falling-for-alexa-chung#post-1560046 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 15:41:12 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1560046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a ribbed mock t-neck that looked much like the one you posted Viva but in a silk cotton blend and wore it a lot. &nbsp;I miss it still but wore it to death. &nbsp;If the acrylic blend is acceptable to you (I am not a fan of acrylic) and the color works, give it a try. &nbsp;I found it quite easy to layer that neckline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-falling-for-alexa-chung#post-1560045 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 15:37:36 +0000 Anonymous 1560045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the colour , and the idea of it, and know it would look good on you. But....why is it almost $200? &nbsp;I'm not seeing anything special about it to warrant that kind of price. &nbsp;I don't see it under a blazer- agreeing with Lisa here - I think a cropped suede jean-style jacket or moto would work over it and maintain that 70's vibe. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-falling-for-alexa-chung#post-1560037 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 15:23:54 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1560037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leaving issues of price aside, I think it would look good on you. I agree you will need to test it out with jackets -- I'm pretty sure you'd lose the gamine aspect if you wore it with a traditional blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-falling-for-alexa-chung#post-1560012 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 13:58:51 +0000 approprio 1560012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too have a sugar eye for a ribbed knit, even with my generous boobage. I think it looks very nice. That said, I'm very particular about quality at that price and I wouldn't buy acrylic. I'd pass on this and go to Uniqlo.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-falling-for-alexa-chung#post-1560009 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 13:55:08 +0000 Elly 1560009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a good look for you, potentially but I also wonder if it is overpriced and their won't be others this season that are very similar but more reasonable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-falling-for-alexa-chung#post-1560008 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 13:53:35 +0000 unfrumped 1560008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, also I do not want to be a drip! If it works, it's certainly in the vein of "French 5" as is classic, versatile. ( At the price I would not put it in the " basic- cami" category" but in the category of fine essential tops &amp; bottoms. ) I'm a little put off by acrylic- wool for the price, though sometimes it's a good blend and in reality, to me it just has to pass the feel- good/ tryon test. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-falling-for-alexa-chung#post-1560006 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 13:50:38 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1560006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can totally picture this on you!! It really fits with your style aesthetic, and that color is perfect for fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-falling-for-alexa-chung#post-1559988 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 13:25:15 +0000 Anonymous 1559988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have tried this on - twice! I LOVE IT. It is everything you are hoping it is. For a tailored dresser, pure perfection. Just so darn expensive. And delicate seeming enough that I have been hesitant to pay full price and stalking it for a markdown. Unfortunately, I am already an Anthro member so cannot take advantage of this promotion.<br /> If you do pull the trigger, size up. I normally go one size up from my standard in clingier items. I needed two sizes up on this. (Though I am a bit squishy in the middle, so YMMV) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-falling-for-alexa-chung#post-1559982 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 12:46:50 +0000 unfrumped 1559982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look, but I find rib knit tops especially turtlenecks too, ah, clingy. No vavoom concerns here, but too " defining". I need a flat fluid-y knit that has the slightest drape even if it's a tailored fit.<br /> YMMV and if so, no harm trying in general and especially if free shipping, but for me the photo tells me it's not likely for the way I wear wool knits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-falling-for-alexa-chung#post-1559978 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 12:38:55 +0000 Murph11 1559978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm reading all the right passion-filled, joy-sparking reasons for you to give this a whirl, Viva. And it would look great under a blazer... Minimalist fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-falling-for-alexa-chung#post-1559974 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 12:35:22 +0000 Astrid 1559974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To be honest I'm not a fan - this kind of clingy rib knit makes me think not so fun thoughts of my teenage years. But you might not have these associations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-falling-for-alexa-chung#post-1559971 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 12:29:48 +0000 viva 1559971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the kind of top I dream about. Classic 60s mod, the perfect olive ..... and it seems to fit my "glam gamine" moniker. But I also wonder how much of my love for this top is because super fashion icon Alexa Chung is attached to it? </p> <p>Could this top really work on me? It's not cheap but it is discounted 20% this weekend.</p> <p>I love that it is wool so warm -- but not heavy. I love that it is body skimming, which I can do because of my very small chest. I can imagine it with bootcut / flared jeans (full and cropped), and with skirts (shorter denim and longer black wool pencil). I can also see it with work trousers. As for toppers, I'm not sure about this neckline with a blazer? Maybe it would be best with a black leather jacket.</p> <p>Do you like this top? Hate it? I really cannot do flowing, artsy looks so when something like this comes along I am like a fly to honey. I'm just looking for a reality check.</p>
