Rusty top: keep/return?

Karin L H

Some better pics of the rusty sweater! Ordered it online when I had a discount, it's still a bit big but I ordered a size up thinking it might be good for later winter when I'll probably be a bit bigger!

I was a bit unsure of the colour when I first tried it on, so I'd love to hear your HONEST opinions! Keep/return?

Tried it with a purple scarf, any preferences with/without? Or other ideas of how I can make the outfit more fun?

#1 rusty sweater, black skinnies
#2 from the side
#3 with purple scarf
#4 closer up with the scarf

Thanks so much for any thoughts or comments!

Keep, looks comfy and has just enough cling to define your bump --which I think is cute. I like the color, I think rust looks good with your coloring. Rust orange pairs well with navy, grays, browns, khaki and purple!

I like the scarf, the color goes great with the rust color. You could also try a cowl or infinity scarf that doesn't hang down the front which would bring attention from your bump to your face! I also think a statement necklace would look great as a "third piece."

Knee boots? Short skirt and tights with loafers?

The top looks cute but ot looks like it's already at the maximum it will give you.
I don't think you will be able to wear it much longer because it does not have any extra room for growth of your belly.
The color is very nice on you and the addition of the scarf makes it look like a complete outfit. The sizing is good just for now, as I said before.

I like it it, but I think Joyce is right and the fit is great right now. Is it something you can start to wear immediately, temperaturewise? I like the color of the scarf with it btw and I think an infinity scarf is a great idea too.

You look very cute and the color is fab on you. I like it with and without the scarf. It would have been too warm for me when I was pregnant, due in March, because I felt warmer than usual, but our winters may not be as cold as yours. Is there enough stretch to wear it as you get bigger?

Thanks so much for all your great comments!

There is lots of room to grow in it so hopefully I should be able to wear it for the coming months too! And even though winter is slow this year I can definitely start wearing it now. So based on that I guess it's a keeper!

I have a dark green infinity scarf, maybe that could work?

Liz V, I love the idea of knee boots, tights and skirts! Unfortunately I don't have any of those items, and it'll probably be too cold for a skirt this time of year... But great idea!

Joy, it's normally around -15/-20 degrees celsius here for winter, and so far I haven't noticed any difference in my own feeling of being wam/cold - but of course that could change now in the last months!

Definitely sounds like a keeper then. I love the idea of dark green!

I see what you are saying, maybe because it's ribbed it will give you more room.
