SIR : Should I Replicate?

Deborah

Veteran

Hi Ladies,

I am loving the black oversized square sweater that I bought a few weeks ago and was thinking of buying another. Its the topper in this outfit post:
http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-work-1

I was considering a second black one, but I took a look today and it's available in a grey. Not too dark a grey and not too light. I tried it on and liked it. I would have liked Navy but of the 10 colours available navy is not one of them:(

The black one is getting a lot of wear and is working well for both casual and work outfits.

What do you think. Worth investing in a second one? And the grey?
Catalogue pic for you... oh ... and I would wear pants.

Thanks
Deborah

This one gets an enthusiastic Yay from me. I'm all for duplication when an item really works for you.

I would try it if I were you Deborah - it looks good on you. Yes pants are probably a good idea

I would grab the grey Deborah!
Unless you have another similar it will make a nice change from the all-black outfits, AND the black favourite will last longer if not worn so often.
It is a classic shape that drapes nicely and suits you so well.

LOL Caro!

You have great legs, so who needs pants?!!

Yes, get the grey, but what are the other colour options?

I'm now voting for plum - would look great with your blacks and whites, but adds a little hint of colour

I am voting yes - love that sweater. A plum would be fab, but I can see the grey working well for you!

Yes please duplicate (and wear pants) Navy would be ideal, but grey is my next go to color.

Yes!

Absolutely!

I promise I will wear pants;). But if I had the models legs I might be tempted not to lol!

Anna, the plum is nice but just not a colour I feel comfortable wearing. I think it is too maroon-ish which was part of my school uniform:(.

I am hoping that they may bring out a navy version.

Absolutely duplicate in the grey. I think it would look smashing with white jeans or dark denim or navy.

Just a little spanner here...Anytime I have duplicated something in another color one of them becomes a favorite and the other becomes an orphan...I've learned if I love it in that color to buy it again in that color so that I can wear it even more!

Your mileage may vary...

Deborah

Veteran

Good point Kim! Maybe I should buy the grey AND another black

Astrid

I agree with Kim, when I duplicated in different colors so far one always became a clear favourite. On the other hand I think that the grey would work wonderful in your wardrobe and would open up many new outfit possibilities. Maybe the grey could be the lighter variation for summer?

Yes. Next question?

This is such a perfect match for your style! You already wear and love the one you have, so in this case, I think duplication is a terrific idea!

Absolutely. This is what I would call a basic for you, and you will wear both colours. With bottoms, LOL!

Of course!!

Oh - I was seeing eggplant, not maroon! And fair call - stay well clear of your uniform colours! My school uniform was a whole lot like a Milo tin (bright green, brown and yellow, I kid you not!) - fortunately not a colour combination I've ever been tempted to try since!!

Gabrielle

I duplicate all the time. It has proven to be a very successful ploy for me. I vote "yes."

Get the grey!

I love the grey. It is different to your black one, it doesn't suffer the same way as black with fading, if it is heathered, or marle as they call it in Australia, it hides lint & pet hair.

Deborah

Veteran

Just popping back to say thanks for your collective wisdom:) I did go and buy the grey. I think it is probably a better decisio than replicating the black

annaj

Veteran

Brilliant! That's another shop that isn't in my "local" so I never think to look! You're a great little treasure hunter!!

Mochi

Love it. So versatile-looking, adaptable to so many moods and effects....if I didn't know this was in Australia, I'd be hunting it down myself!

I think the grey would be a perfect addition! What is this shirt anyway? I really like it, it looks very versatile.
