In or Out: Sweaters, Tops and Skirts


Ladies, I need your help! My cart is overflowing and I can’t whittle it down on my own. Evaluating the contents I realized I have a few similar pieces. Would you help me choose which one stays in my cart and which needs to go?

Round 1:
Drenched Helenium Tee ($78, review here)
vs. High Speed Cardigan ($128)

Drenched Helenium Tee: Pro – it looks great on Chloe and Kim. Con – Maybe not as much on me and I actually have to wear the thing.

High Speed Cardigan: Con – I haven’t tried it on. Pro – But I own the Elodie Lily Cardigan ($128), also by Charlotte Tarantola so I know how it fits.

Round 2:
Party Petal Skirt ($148, review here)
vs. Plaid Petals Skirt ($148, review here)

Party Petal Skirt: Pro – I love the model’s outfit and want to recreate it. Plus this skirt looks great over tights. Con – It’s really short.

Plaid Petals Skirt: Pro – It’s a color combo I wear a lot and a unique shape. Con – It’s also pretty short.

Round 3: Autumn Sun Sweatercoat ($128, review here)
vs. Diffusion Vest ($98, review here)

Autumn Sun Sweatercoat: Pro – It’s long! I like long. Con -I have already purchased 3 long cardigans this year. Too trendy?

Diffusion Vest: Pro – Unique and the cranberry is flattering. Con – Too busy?

Let me know what you think in the comments and thanks for your help!

I see also there was a small sale update this morning. Post upcoming!

    Round 3: I like the Autumn Sunsweater coat with the Party Petal Skirt. But I also like the Plaid Petals skirt, so I'm not much help on round #2. I can only vote for round #3–the Autumn sunsweater. I love the color combination and I think it will be great for the fall/winter.

    Round 1: I like both (the blouse looks amazing on Chloe), but I prefer the color palette of the cardigan for your carnation. I bought it and I only wish I had taken a medium instead of a small.Round 2: I really prefer the Party Petal Skirt. I like the shape better and also the colors.Round 3: I would skip both, unless they would come in sale. I think they are cute but not exceptional.Et voilà! I hope that helps a little!

    I would get both hellenium t and bluE cardi. There are so many ways you can style those items! Next section i think i like blue tulip skirt the best. And skip the last section and save for newer arrivals. Hth!!!

    Round#1 I say HighSpeed Cadri as I think the print is unique. I think people that like this type of sweater prob have LOTS of cardis in their closets so its nice to go w/ a print that is unusual…altho the top is gorgeous too, IF the sleeves dont bother you like it seems to bother alot of bloggers who love the print but question the fit of the sleeves…Round #2 party Petal hands down b/c its so pretty and again, not a common print where you can find the plaid in other places…Round #3 I tried on the Diffuse wrap vest for ' giggles" b/c I thought it was weird and I neded up LOVING it b/c its different… as much as the Autumn Sun cardi is fuctional and goes with alot, its fun to intro different shape sweaters into your wardrobe.. i thought the Diffuse sweater was different enuf to buy and the colors are great…I was thinking of buying and wearing w/ my new slouch grey sueded boots..I think you should buy the HighSpeed cardi then this Diffuse vest so you have some sweater diversity in your wardrobe :)Elizabethsaltypaws

    Love the Hellenium blouse, but the sleeves stick straight out. Go with the cardi. I also bought and returned the Autumn Sun Sweatercoat. It was so itchy, even with a top underneath it was just uncomfortable and my husband said it was just so so. I have the Diffusion Vest and only wore it once so far, but got 3 compliments that one day because it was so unique.

    Round 1 : get the Drenched Helenium Top – it looks great layered and I believe Chloe said washing it helped calm down the sleeves. I said skip the cardigan.Round 2: Get the Party Petals skirt. I hate the Plaid skirt – it's too short and did weird things in the front.Round 3: I'd skip both – I'm not huge on either item.

    Skip all of round three and buy the rest from group 1 and 2. Or pick the top on the left in group 1 and buy both of those adorable skirts!

    Skip Round 1 and 3.Buy both skirts! You can wear both anywhere with the right combo.

    Ladies, thank you all for your input. I think I am going to forgo round 3 altogether…no closer to deciding on rounds 1 or 2 yet though!

    Love the High Speed Cardigan and you definitely need the Party Petal Skirt!

    Have you chosen yet Roxy? 🙂 Whatever you do, I hope you get the Drenched Helenium top! And my votes for rounds 2 and 3 (even if you are forgoing the last one 😉 ) are the Party Petal skirt (I love the plaid one, but this seems slightly more "you") and the Diffusion Vest. Let us know what/when you order either way!

    Get the Helenium top. I wore it again yesterday with a black cardi (it was 69 here) and was very comfortable. The sleeves do settle down with a layer on top. I would skip round 3 also—nothing special. Party Petal skirt is cute. Let us know what you decide.
