Thoughts on these Woolovers pullovers?

I'm planning on replacing my rather fitted dark green Woolovers pullover with a more relaxed fit in a better color. The green one I have is a bit too short to wear with pants and too long to go well with skirts. I think sizing up would help me achieve a nice relaxed look and I could do a semi tuck too. You can see the color I want to order in #1. I think this would be much more flattering on me than the dark mossy green one I currently have.

If I add another pullover to my order I would get 10% off. And I could really use more options for winter. I'm going to spend a lot of time in the pants tucked into boots and pullover formula, so it would be nice to have a few more options. I've found two that I think look nice and a bit more modern than some of their stuff, the grey one with the stripes in #2 and the colorblock pullover in #3/4. Do you think I should add one of them to my order? Or should I just get the first one?

(I'm not ordering one of their cardigans, I had a look and they're all not quite what I'm looking for.)

And I've brought my two plaid wool skirts to the place that usually does my alterations today. It wasn't all that expensive actually and I can pick them up on Saturday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they do a good job!

You know, I've wanted to try them but a lot of their cuts have seemed a little stodgy. I don't know... too wide with out being flowy? too short? Anyway, i'll be interested to see how they work out.

Oh, I bet #1's colour is excellent on you! Of #2 and #3, I prefer #2 (but that could be my preferences).

Thanks Thimblelina. I agree, some of their cuts just seem to be off. But I have #1 and that cut is fine, just too fitted. The other two are made of the same fabric (lambswool) and the measurements seem comparable.

Thanks Alasse! I think I have a slight preference for #2 too, but probably just because I'm scared of wearing white and making stains.

The green will be wonderful on you. For a second pullover, as much as I like stripes, I like the colorblocked even better. Could it be worn with any of your skirts?

Thanks Joy! I'm not sure, it's probably too long and I don't think tucking it in would look that good. But I'm alright wearing it with pants only.

I think the green in #1 is really pretty and will look good on you. I prefer the white/grey color blocked version of the second sweater. It just looks a little more modern to me although you really can't go wrong with stripes, if that turns out to be your preference.

Oh I love the colour of 1! I also really like 2 as well & could see that working beautifully well with your wardrobe. I'm not as big on 3, but I have an inexplicable aversion to colourblocking, so that's probably just my bias peeking through.

Thanks Sara! Another vote for the colorblocked one...

Thanks Eva! Yes, it's gorgeous, right? I'm not quite sure how I feel about colorblocking myself actually, so I'm leaning towards #2 at the moment. But I do get the argument that #3 might look more modern. Just going back and forth... The colorblocked one did remind me of the raglan sweater I recently tried and returned.

I love the green color. Is there another "medium" color available?
I have trouble with a lot of color-blocking and the #3 seems to fall in a funny place on the bust. I usually think the blocking should be placed so that it will "do" something flattering (which might be different, for different people).

Thanks Unfrumped! Not really, all the other colors are either quite bright or just not my thing. And then neutrals of course. Here's the link:http://www.woolovers.com/lambs.....spx#RateIt Thanks for mentioning the placement, I hadn't really thought about that all. I think I might go with #2, then. Or just order the first one. I've just seen that I don't have enough for the markdown anyway, with two pullovers.

I just ordered #1! But nothing else. I want to see how the bigger size works out first and there's no rush after all. On new pullover might be plenty enough anyway. Found some voucher for 5€ off, so the price was really reasonable, even with shipping costs. I hope the color is as lovely IRL.
