Period. 1043472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Angie, you really do have a killer eye for detail. &nbsp;I learn so much from you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-taupe-sweater-showdown#post-1043469 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 21:15:22 +0000 Angie 1043469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>K, the All Saints sweater is quite different - but do correct me if that is not the case. I remember it being much cleaner and streamlined. High-low, but not vented like this style. Crisply Slouchy. Not Messy Slouchy.&nbsp;The effect of the All Saints is&nbsp;polished and sassy - and that's your look. (I'm just the person to go on about those types of details making the difference).&nbsp;</p> <p>That said, you live in a climate where BOTH will get worn a lot. So by all means keep both. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-taupe-sweater-showdown#post-1043460 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 21:06:04 +0000 DonnaF 1043460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 by a mile.&nbsp; Very flattering and more interesting.&nbsp; Washable is more practical for MOTG times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-taupe-sweater-showdown#post-1043454 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 20:55:13 +0000 Kristin L 1043454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you love #1, then rock it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-taupe-sweater-showdown#post-1043452 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 20:48:08 +0000 K. Period. 1043452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Drat! &nbsp;Angie, very legitimate points. Hmmm. &nbsp;But...#1 reminds me of the navy Allsaints sweater that we bought together. Like it and my black and white sheath dress that we bought, this sweater appeals to my&nbsp;secret, mod sci-fi side. &nbsp;And&nbsp;I've been wearing both the Allsaints sweater and sheath dress&nbsp;to death. &nbsp;DH loves the Allsaints sweater&nbsp;too.&nbsp;(Although, oddly, each time he sees it, he asks me if it is new and then tells me how much he loves it. Go figure.) &nbsp;Well. At least I'm going into this with my eyes open now! And when you ask me next spring how it worked out for me, I'll probably owe you a latte.&nbsp;:)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-taupe-sweater-showdown#post-1043436 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 20:17:55 +0000 Angie 1043436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer #2.

Period. 1043419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Suz: You clever girl, you! You are right. That's the sweater. And it is funny, pilling is exactly one of the concerns rattling around&nbsp;in the back of mind about sweater #2. And maybe slight itchiness (but I'm not particularly sensitive to that sort of thing...then again,&nbsp;I noticed it, so maybe that is an issue). &nbsp;</p> <p>@everyone, thanks! &nbsp;So nice to know that I'm not alone in liking #1 so much!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-taupe-sweater-showdown#post-1043414 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 19:48:44 +0000 shedev 1043414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-taupe-sweater-showdown#post-1043413 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 19:47:15 +0000 Amy 1043413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my favorite, hands down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-taupe-sweater-showdown#post-1043405 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 19:37:02 +0000 Anonymous 1043405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me, too.

That's the Theory Jillian! &nbsp;I tried it in navy and adored it but left it in the store because although I felt it was flattering and lovely, it was already pilling a bit, and at that price, I didn't feel too happy about it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I actually really like #1 on you. Flattering, interesting.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-taupe-sweater-showdown#post-1043398 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 19:32:57 +0000 catgirl 1043398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I way prefer 1.

It's interesting and flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-everyone-taupe-sweater-showdown#post-1043386 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 19:28:11 +0000 K. Period. 1043386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need help deciding between two sweaters. &nbsp;Both taupe, which is usually a harder color for me, but both of these have a nice silvery color that works well. &nbsp;I'm a bit torn about posting because I suspect the answer will be to keep the one that I'm not as fond of, but on the other hand, I could be completely wrong about that. &nbsp;You'll see what I mean when I list my criteria.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I've been wanting a taupe sweater for a while. &nbsp;Ideally it would look just as at home at work as with jeans when I'm out with the kiddos&nbsp;on the weekend. &nbsp;</p> <p>Photo 1--This sweater&nbsp;is lighter weight, layerable, and washable. &nbsp;It is slightly sheer, so I don't think the photos do it justice because they imply it is bulkier than it looks in person.&nbsp;<br />Photo 2--This sweater&nbsp;is heaver weight, dry clean only, but still lovely fiber and probably more slimming. &nbsp;</p> <p>The sweater in photo 1 is new yesterday. &nbsp;I have had the sweater in photo 2 since NAS, so August. I still haven't pulled off the tags, though. Both are returnable. &nbsp;I like the sweater in photo 1 better and it seems to meet my requirements better too. &nbsp;Or maybe I'm just smittened with a new item versus one I have had for a while? &nbsp;</p> <p>Which one do you prefer for me?&nbsp; </p>
