The other sweater reminds me of a green/black striped sweater I have (it was a gift) that I have taken a dislike to, though yours is more stylish I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-792547 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 06:26:17 +0000 ManidipaM 792547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm someone who tends to quickly look away from yellow in the stores myself, so am surprised how much I LOVE the second sweater too! Please keep! (I'm not sure about the 'yellow with your skin tone' aspect --- maybe it's not your *best* colour, but I sure think it looks good. If in doubt, there's always what Deborah so wisely suggested --- a scarf or necklace.)</p> <p>Strangely, as a lover of stripes *and* of blue-green combos, I'm not convinced by the stripes so much, to be honest. Hope you don't mind --- this is perhaps just a personal preference biasing me! --- but I did agree with Rae and Ariadne that this is unusually casual/sporty for your usual vibe. Yet I can quite imagine loving the same colour combo on you with a collar perhaps, and any one of the stripe widths... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-792276 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 21:28:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 792276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both on you Sveta - fab bright cheery casual sweaters! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-792274 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 21:26:49 +0000 Ariadne 792274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the yellow one! Is it the Eversoft pullover? If so I have the vermillion one and I've been wearing it 2x a week since receiving it. I LOVE it.</p> <p>I'm not a fan of the stripes because to me the color combo and something about the stripes (positioning? The mix of thick and thin?) reminds me of a sports jersey, and I don't think of you as a sporty dresser. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-792252 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:32:40 +0000 Janet 792252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them both -- in fact, the yellow appeals to me more than I would have expected since its a hard color for me to wear. Keep both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-792230 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:11:26 +0000 Thistle 792230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them both, but if you have to choose one, I like the stripes a lot better! Much more casual than I am used to seeing you wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-792157 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 17:56:40 +0000 krishnidoux 792157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep them!

Love both, especially the first one, great colors for you! Yellow can be tricky but this looks great with your coloring and is so cheery! Please keep both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-792133 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 16:55:27 +0000 Shu 792133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the yellow on you. Stripes are nice too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791980 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 04:35:44 +0000 Suz 791980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the green striped one on you. Can't tell for sure about the yellow, but my hunch is, if you love it as much as you do and had such a strong hunch to buy it, that is probably a good intuition! So go with it and enjoy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791943 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 03:03:29 +0000 Sveta 791943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for chiming in. It is so weird how drawn I am to this particular yellow tone and I usually steer away from yellow. I would not buy this sweater if not for this color I think.<br /> I bought both of them on clearance at Gap plus 30% off so each was about $25. I think I will keep both. Green should work well for spring / summer and I can layer yellow over white or denim shirt maybe? I need some color boost I think! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791937 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 02:53:58 +0000 rae 791937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the yellow a lot more for both your coloring and your style. The stripes seem way more casual than I am used to seeing on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791936 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 02:53:53 +0000 Beth Ann 791936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should start by saying that I have a thing for color. But you probably already know that! I adore the first sweater! I'm unsure on the yellow with your skin tone, although I find the color quite pleasing in general. </p> <p>A color block sweater can make statement without layering or accessories -- which is a plus. It could be layered over or under and would work with casual skirts, as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791934 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 02:51:53 +0000 Jaime 791934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the striped one, and the yellow one also looks good but it is hard to judge the color against your skin - yellow is hard to wear I think. If it looks good in real life they are both winners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791927 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 02:39:49 +0000 Anonymous 791927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to see you Sveta! I love the stripes, and I think the yellow is pretty good on you too. I look so bad in yellow that it's hard for me to be objective, but I don't think it's bad. Love the necklines on both of these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791874 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 00:21:40 +0000 Girl X 791874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the stripes!! but I'm not sure about the yellow with your skin tone. Good for you for trying something different! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791850 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 23:53:00 +0000 annagybe 791850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stripes, by a mile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791849 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 23:51:14 +0000 Sara L. 791849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both. I love the mix of stripe sizes in the first sweater and I always like yellow on others because I can't wear it myself (makes me look pink). The yellow will pair with so many colors and will look cheery in the winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791791 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 22:15:22 +0000 sarah 791791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the first one. The second one is great, too, if you love the color (I'm not such a fan, but that's just me). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791784 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 22:05:09 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 791784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the fit of both and the cooler colors in the first work for you. I am not a huge fan of yellow though. It could be the pics but I don't think it is the best for your skin color. If it came in another color, I would say snap it up because it does fit very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791760 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 21:37:23 +0000 Parsley 791760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are not crazy at all- both of these are completely fabulous on you!</p> <p>Keep X2 !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791750 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 21:22:30 +0000 Lyn D. 791750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stripey sweater is really FAB- I knew before I saw the full pic it would suit you Sveta.<br /> I also love the shape and style of #2, but am unsure of the colour with your skin-tone.<br /> Does it come in any cooler shades? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791749 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 21:21:16 +0000 Raisin 791749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are both really great on you! I think I like the yellow better by a hair, but the green stripes are awesome too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791741 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 21:13:26 +0000 Deborah 791741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, these look amazing. The striped one took my breath away it looks so good. I have mixed feelings on the yellow. Gorgeous color, but I wonder if adding a scarf with some other colour/colours closer to your face as I'm not sure the yellow is your best colour:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791734 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 21:08:13 +0000 CocoLion 791734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both. If you just want to keep one of them, I'd keep the yellow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791732 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 21:07:00 +0000 merwoman 791732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yes...crazy smart!!!<br /> Love both of these sweaters on you Sveta! I bought same style sweater as your yellow - but in grey/white/yellow stripes and I love wearing it. Gap has some great apparel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791731 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 21:06:39 +0000 Inge 791731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not crazy AT ALL!! I really love both of these on you, Sveta, such great finds! And what a happy shade of yellow to wear when it's cold and dreary outside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791730 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 21:06:25 +0000 Atlantia 791730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Emerald is the Pantone color for 2013, so I think the stripe will be a nice addition for spring and summer. It'll play well with your neutral palette. I like the stripe with your skin as well. The yellow is tough to say, because it looks so different in indoor vs outdoor light. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-i-need-a-sanity-check#post-791725 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 21:03:31 +0000 Sveta 791725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...because I bought 2 bright sweaters in Gap. The colors make me happy but I am not sure if I can really wear them.<br /> 1/2 Green / ink blue striped sweater. This is a thin cotton sweater so I am going to wear it in summer / spring mostly </p> <p>3/4 Yellow sweater. I surprised myself by loving this shade of yellow. Usually when I try on something yellow I see right away that it is no good but somehow my filter did not work for this one. This is a cold season sweater with some wool in it.</p> <p>The pictures are not the greatest (darn the winter light!), outside shots represent colors better.</p> <p>What do you think? Am I crazy? </p>
