I'm thinking about ordering one or two of these wool sweaters for winter:

Best price ever for pure wool and their quality is great. Now I just have to decide which color to get. I have a few favourites, but they are all so lovely. Which color(s) would you choose for me?

I'm drawn to greens, which coincidentally work beautifully on your coloring, so I'd choose jade, bottle green or tweed green. Wine would be nice too!

Thanks Janet! I love the greens too, especially bottle green and jade. I think the wine might be too warm.

Astrid, I am so in love with wine and camel this season. They are both neutrals really so can be jazzed up with so many other trendy or classic colours. And would look great with your hair and complexion.

Thanks Nicole. I like wine and camel too, they are such lovely fall colors. But not on me, I think I look better in cool colors. Camel makes me look washed out IMO and I can wear wine only if it isn't too warm colored.

(My hair isn't red like it always looks in the pictures, that's the flash and the artificial light.)

I like the cerise pink!
I'm trying to think whether I've ever seen you in that color, but I think it would be pretty on you, and it would look good with black, navy, or jeans.

I think the greens would look lovely on you, and what about citrus yellow? That would be a fresh pop. No?

Thanks Parsley! I haven't worn that color recently, but I had a sweater like that some time ago and liked wearing it, although it may have been a bit more muted.

Thanks Ingunn! I didn't even think about the yellow, I don't think I have one yellow item in my wardrobe... Mmmh.

ETA Although this light lemon yellow is part of the soft summer palette, it might work out. I've never tried it though.

Ooh, I can see why you are drawn to these! Based on your pinterest, I'd choose Bottle Green, Blueberry, or Wine for you.

Thanks Rae! Bottle green and the Blueberry were actually my favourites when it comes to colors (also love the blues and greys for neutrals). I think the Blueberry would be more flattering on me than the Cerise pink, it's not as bright and softer.

Thanks Kelly!

Angie has blogged about how great blue looks on brunettes. I was thinking of marine or royal blue but now need to go back and look at blueberry. I also think you would look great in green.
OK, blueberry looks more purple than blue on my monitor.

Thanks Joy! I also love the royal blue. The Blueberry is definitely more purple, but purple looks always good on me.

If you're going to get a few why not go for at least one classic color, and one fun color. I love the navy and the winter white...and the pistachio is fun!

Thanks Rae, Lisa and Irene!

I just ordered the Bottle Green (free shipping until midnight!). If the fit is right and it's not itchy I might order another color later on, maybe the Blueberry or a blue. Thanks for helping me with my decision!
