It's super fab with those shoes. And substitute your red booties for another fab look! I really like the blue-black sweater outfit, and the boots look like a good find, too. <br />I'm with Deborah on the enabling bandwagon. </p> <p>P.S. I do mean your wine booties. So you're "adding burgundy" to your wardrobe with the gray sweater. How's that for logic?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zip-happy-kr#post-1066712 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 02:22:43 +0000 Beth Ann 1066712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Indeed, DayVies!&nbsp; Let's find a Kohl's near a Macy's and a BR, and an AT, and........... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zip-happy-kr#post-1066622 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 01:08:24 +0000 Day Vies 1066622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is my favorite but all of them are keep worthy. </p> <p>You know we are going to have to find a day and a Kohl's to ambush (and rack up the Kohl's Cash!) especially since we are both devotees of the store and their offerings. </p> <p>#3 is a very close second because I love the echo of the gray in those oxfords.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zip-happy-kr#post-1066460 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 23:08:14 +0000 Angie 1066460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a warm house.

The ink/black one is excellent too. I guess the question is do you want 2 zip-up sweaters! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zip-happy-kr#post-1065844 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:54:23 +0000 Ornella 1065844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I l-o-v-e the sweater in #2. Actually, much better than #3.</p> <p>And grey looks great on you IMHO.</p> <p>Plus, with those shoes - no brainer.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zip-happy-kr#post-1065842 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:51:34 +0000 lyn67 1065842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the new booties, and nr 1 sweatter! I say no need to duplicate as I also love the lighter grey you already own, &nbsp;but if you wanted it, it still works fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zip-happy-kr#post-1065743 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 05:16:40 +0000 Suz 1065743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both sweaters a lot (and the new booties, too!) but want to echo what Gigi says. If you're not completely in love with #2, then let it go to make room for something less similar. Despite the fact that it looks great on you. (There, how is that for making it tough for you?)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zip-happy-kr#post-1065714 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 04:36:12 +0000 Anonymous 1065714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of the two animal prints, I like the lighter gray one best on you (if you have to make a choice) - they are different enough though that I don't think they are true "duplicates" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zip-happy-kr#post-1065711 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 04:31:02 +0000 Gigi 1065711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although the two animal-print sweaters are very different, I would return the new one *unless* you are absolutely in love with it. I don't say this because it doesn't look great on you--it does!--but&nbsp;I think that buying similar pieces when you're not really head-over-heels in love with them just fills up your closet and takes money out of your checkbook that could be saved up to buy something really unique. (Can you tell I'm regretting such purchases myself at the moment?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zip-happy-kr#post-1065706 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 04:18:41 +0000 Deborah 1065706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann, I like the both and actually find myself favouring the grey animal print?!?&nbsp; I like the darker grey tone on you and actually think that you could easily integrate both into your wardrobe.&nbsp; I know.. I am a master enabler! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zip-happy-kr#post-1065697 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 03:47:58 +0000 Susie 1065697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh Beth Ann, I really like both of them on you. I think the sweater is different enough from the sweatshirt, that there is room for both of those fun animals to live in your closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zip-happy-kr#post-1065694 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 03:45:26 +0000 Beth Ann 1065694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the lightning-flash responses, late night fabbers!&nbsp; </p> <p>Shevia:&nbsp; You have a very refined eye for color --- thanks for weighing in!</p> <p>Neel --- I thought it was important to post the animal print sweatshirtt too, particularly since I'm not necessarily the animal "type."&nbsp; </p> <p>A.J.&nbsp; Love this way of softening all the black that is already in my wardrobe.&nbsp; I think it's really hard to photograph, though!</p> <p>Echo:&nbsp; I think secretly I was hoping that, if I return it, someone else I know will get it, so I can enjoy it vicariously!&nbsp; So glad you felt free to say you like the grey better ---- that's such an important, freeing part of YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zip-happy-kr#post-1065685 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 03:37:50 +0000 AJ 1065685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooohhhh, #1 is a great way to mix blue and black! I like #2 as well, but if you feel it's too similar to 3 then return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zip-happy-kr#post-1065677 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 03:30:46 +0000 Neel 1065677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cross posted with shevia! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zip-happy-kr#post-1065676 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 03:30:16 +0000 Echo 1065676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, I like the animal print version better than the colour-block one. It looks fantastic with the skirt, and it looks far more polished than #3, so I don't think it's a duplicate at all (and it goes with the shoes!). I love it on you and vote keep. Makes me wonder if I need to head to Kohl's... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zip-happy-kr#post-1065673 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 03:29:49 +0000 Neel 1065673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one is gorgeous! &nbsp;Love the ink blue and black combo!</p> <p>I much prefer&nbsp;sweater 3 more than sweater 2! &nbsp;But the colors are pretty&nbsp;different and the new sweater could be worn open too. &nbsp;If you really love it keep it, else I vote return since they are *similar* and sweater 3 seems to be better than 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zip-happy-kr#post-1065672 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 03:29:44 +0000 Jaime 1065672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue or purple in #1 is gorgeous on you and I love that whole outfit. Less in love with the color in #2 especially since I think the lighter grey in #3 is better on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zip-happy-kr#post-1065667 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 03:23:34 +0000 Beth Ann 1065667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found these two zip sweater at Kohl's (Apt 9).&nbsp; Originally, I was going to post both for a K/R, but I loved the blue in the ink/black version enough (PIc 1) that I ripped off the tags and wore it today with my black skinnies and my newish suede black booties (Pic 4, a round/almond toe box -- not super stylish, but good for hoofing it). I overexposed photo 1 so you can get a feel for the color.&nbsp; The body of the cotton blend sweater is ink blue, the banding and sleeves are black.&nbsp; I've been wanting to mix ink and black for a year or so, and in the past month have found two items to make this possible.&nbsp; </p> <p>The question:&nbsp; I like the grey leopard print version of the sweater&nbsp; (pic 2) , but I'm not sure I require a duplicate, and, while I think the print is interesting:<br />1.&nbsp; I have a grey animal print sweatershirt -- more casual, but similar in look (pic 3 -- styled with the same skirt)<br />2.&nbsp; Grey is not the best color for me -- not the worst, either, just kind of "OK"</p> <p>The sweater is not expensive, but I have enough sweaters to allow me to be choosy.&nbsp; Keep or Return? </p>
