I don't think I could work it either. I know what you mean about liking it but I like everything Anthro. does anyway.


Return it and find something else is what I'd do.

It looks like you'd need to dress this up a little, not just wear it with jeans...you say you love it but also that you're not feeling it - if you love it, I'd try to work an outfit out, but if you don't, I'd return it, too.

I like it a lot! It would probably look nice with a pair of chocolate pants, or maybe white? definatly not jeans. I ould ear it with skinny pants and a chunky necklace.

I think you could work it with trouser jeans for sure. I'd wear it with something like these:

I agree with Ally S return it. I keep tags and receipts till I wear something if it has been 2-3 weeks and I still have not worn it (this is everyday wear not suits and stuff) then I take it back.

cable pullover


cassandra skirt


Steve Madden Topazz


Depending on how you like to accessorize, I can see a brown/green tone houndstooth fedora with this outfit.  I think the sweater would work with camel or brown cords or cord skirt too.

I own this sweater- the absolutely only thing I wear it with is jeans.  It looks nice with my AG legends in this wash:



or a pair of my more wide legged trouser/slouchy jeans.  I don't wear it with obvious "designer" jeans (ex. seven butt squiggle) because it is more organic looking and it just looks weird, like the styles don't go.  I also want to buy a denim mini-skirt to wear with it (just a plain one with maybe a frayed hem- your short brown one may be nice.)  I don't think it really is a very dressy sweater.  I usually leave my hair wavy when I wear it and wear it either with my flat tan suede boots, or my suede red UGG clogs.  I have tried to make it "business casual" and it just doesn't work very well.  It is such a pretty sweater, but def. more earthy and is much easier to work in a boho kind of way.

I think it would look nice with boots and a skirt like this:



Camper Sisters - 45579



or if you want to go a little dressier, a skirt like this and maybe little round toe pumps (but not too high) or black boots, even elf shoes :


Lux Slim Stretch Slit Denim Skirt


Camper Covent - 45592


Irregular Choice 2739-1A

Bliss- They are Seychelles and are $64.99 from www.shoes.com.  They are out of a lot of sizes there, but you can try searching the brand to see where else they sell them.  The company's page is www.seychellesfootwear.com.

I bought that, tried it on with everything, and then returned it.  I had no luck.  But it's a cute sweater.
