Thank you ladies for the feedback AND your encouragement that it looks good enough to keep AND wear! </p> <p>I'm still trying to develop a discerning eye, so you are all a huge help!</p> <p>I think I'll work on a 'black skinny pant and flats' look also, so I can wear it more than just out to dinner with DH.</p> <p>Sarah - I love your fllower collars too It's rather uncanny -- a Sara(h) penchant for flowered collars. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chic-or-clown#post-135409 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 18:32:07 +0000 AJ 135409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't even categorize that clownish at all. Luv the flowers. At first I thought red bag, but the red takes the attention away from the pretty detail of the sweater, so cream purse looks better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chic-or-clown#post-135407 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 18:18:53 +0000 anne 135407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too ( and Sarah's pictures also) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chic-or-clown#post-135404 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 18:07:49 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 135404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it - you look very stylish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chic-or-clown#post-135399 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 17:41:27 +0000 Kristine 135399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I saw you walking confidently down the street I definitely wouldn't think "clown". I'd admire your style and confidence! It's a nice detail and draws attention to your face. The fact that it's white and you're wearing it with neutrals keeps it elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chic-or-clown#post-135372 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:33:47 +0000 Sarah 135372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From one Sara(h) to another, I say SUPER CHIC!<br /> But maybe I'm biased. ;)<br /> <a href="http://letitrainagain.blogspot.com/2010/02/cream-black-chic_25.html" rel="nofollow">http://letitrainagain.blogspot.....ic_25.html</a><br /> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JA8_7TSUcfs/SsEWoDb7AtI/AAAAAAAAD7A/6TyPsKaUvIM/s1600-h/newthings+002.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JA8_.....gs+002.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chic-or-clown#post-135364 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:22:49 +0000 Sihaya 135364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's awesome.

I agree that it may not have longevity in your wardrobe though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chic-or-clown#post-135312 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 10:39:38 +0000 Nadia 135312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both pics look good to me although I think I like the red purse one better. It definitely doesn't look clownish- you have the right sort of features to pull off a collar with bold details. Kudos on the good deal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chic-or-clown#post-135310 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 10:21:18 +0000 An 135310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it also. I think it looks chic and sophisticated </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chic-or-clown#post-135295 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 09:11:00 +0000 Louise 135295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too. I'd make sure i kept the rest of the outfit fairly simple it's a real statement cardi x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chic-or-clown#post-135277 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 07:12:25 +0000 Ele 135277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sort of love it. Very posh in a lady-who-lunches kind of way. Love how you've styled it, too! </p> <p>I also mildly disagree that it will date quickly; fabric flowers have been around for years, not just 2010, and I can't imagine a time when women won't wear flowers! The neutral colours and "specialness" of it will keep it unique and date-less, if that makes sense. </p> <p>Ok, you totally have me wanting to go throw some fabric flowers on a cardi I was about to take to Oxfam. Hmm... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chic-or-clown#post-135275 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 07:07:48 +0000 RoseandJoan 135275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others, it' a keep from me. I also like the idea of cigarette pants with ballet flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chic-or-clown#post-135265 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 04:57:35 +0000 Angie 135265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see chic and fab on my screen :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chic-or-clown#post-135251 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 04:01:44 +0000 cciele 135251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! I don't think of clown collar either.

But if it's a 'go', then I'll try to get my 2010's worth out of my $25 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chic-or-clown#post-135227 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 03:02:57 +0000 julijuli 135227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sweater - and I especially like it with the cream purse. Sort of a monochromatic look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chic-or-clown#post-135226 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 03:01:38 +0000 taylor 135226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara, I LOVE that sweater, I would be all over that if I saw it...just my style:) You look so great and I love both purses")</p> <p>If you ever want to get rid of the sweater send it my way:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chic-or-clown#post-135224 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 03:00:24 +0000 Queen Mum 135224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's really cute- very fashionable right now... BUT, when those flowers are past their prime the sweater will look dated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chic-or-clown#post-135223 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 02:55:45 +0000 Anonymous 135223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sweater with the cream purse, and I don't think clown when I see it. I think it looks good on you and goes well with your hair and my first impression of your style.<br /> I say thumbs up. Enjoy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chic-or-clown#post-135221 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 02:51:23 +0000 MNsara 135221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, sorry but no hose shown. I DID brush my hair for you all, though ;-)</p> <p>But if it is a keeper, black or nude fishnets? or . . . ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chic-or-clown#post-135218 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 02:46:42 +0000 MNsara 135218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes when I shop, I run across something that I just love . . . or so I think!! Sometimes the next year, I see that very item and wonder "what on earth was I thinking?"</p> <p>So today I ran across this sweater and immediately fell in love, but it borders on a clown collar. Now I'm afraid I may not be seeing it rationally because it tapped into some primal attraction. . . </p> <p>Please be honest, but gentle, as I have an irrational love for this sweater. . . </p> <p>This styliing is the only one that my daughter finally relented and said it was okay:</p> <p>cream purse<br /> <a href="http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/ryanfam5/chic%20or%20clown/IMG_0678.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i834.photobucket.com/al.....G_0678.jpg</a></p> <p>red purse<br /> <a href="http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/ryanfam5/chic%20or%20clown/IMG_0676.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i834.photobucket.com/al.....G_0676.jpg</a></p> <p>close up of 'clown' collar<br /> <a href="http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/ryanfam5/chic%20or%20clown/IMG_0679.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i834.photobucket.com/al.....G_0679.jpg</a></p> <p>Thanks for your objective assesment as you all are amazing (and I trust you more than my 20-y.o. daughter!) </p>
