Aibu to think that the perfect jumper doesn't exist?!?

Chocamochalatte · 01/01/2011 18:40

I have searched and searched and I can not find a jumper that I like...

Would appreciate any help with this before DH divorces me for spending every day online in search of the perfect jumper!

Ok... Here's my criteria:

To wear with skinny jeans

Be able to wear with a coat

Not too long

Not too short

Not a boring v neck

Interesting

Not too trendy

Not at all mumsy

Not polo neck

Quite like boat neck / off shoulder...

So, not a really long list... Blush

I am 32, 5'6 size 12

If you have any ideas please do share!

TIA Grin

I submit this

MrsSeanBean · 01/01/2011 18:44

(Sorry it's V neck but classic no broiung IMHO. I believe also has a crew neck option if preferred.)

MrsSeanBean · 01/01/2011 18:44

Sorry for typos... classic not boring - it should have said...

dexter73 · 01/01/2011 18:45

I have my eye on this blue one.

MrsSeanBean · 01/01/2011 18:47

That's a good one Dexter. (Sadly have just spent inordinate sum on DH though, which negates anything I might have ordered from Crew.)

dexter73 · 01/01/2011 18:53

Send all his stuff back!

Chocamochalatte · 01/01/2011 18:54

Sorry mrssb, I do think it's boring...

But Dexter! Wow! I like it!! Do you know what sizing is like? Never heard of Crew Clothing before...

I'm not really sure about their sizing. They send me emails all the time but I don't have any clothes from them!

Kristingle · 01/01/2011 18:57

Just thought I'd tell you that brora sale starts 12 jan.

Chocamochalatte · 01/01/2011 19:04

Thanks K!

Now if I were to buy the Crew jumper, should I go for blue or chocolate?? I'm fair with dark hair, blue eyes... Would wear with blue jeans...

Order both and see which one you prefer.

sungirltan · 01/01/2011 19:07

i just bought a round necked black jumper from h&m. it has cuffs but is otherwise a sort of poncho style. it looks ace :-)

Chocamochalatte · 02/01/2011 16:49

Aaargh!

Ok, so I found out that there was a Crew Clothing shop not too far from me so I went in today to buy the jumper... Nothing like on the website, much longer and thinner than it looked... Didn't have my size but wasn't really 'right' anyway... Plus the shop assistant was very rude, shouted at us not to shut the door then when I started asking about the jumper that I had seen on the website, well, sooo rude... Wouldn't want to go back...

So, the search is still on... Please please please show me a shop I haven't seen before!! (thanks!) Grin

I recently discovered these people by accident and they only do knitwear. It is all very classic and might be a bit boring, not sure really what you are after. There is however, a lot of choice and they are reasonably priced.

Niecie · 02/01/2011 16:59

Oh and I have only ordered a couple of things, a cardi for me and pullover for DH, and they aren't flimsy and a decent quality.

traceybath · 02/01/2011 17:02

too dressy? but gorgeous.

missmiss · 02/01/2011 17:07

Aubin and Wills do gorgeous (but pricey) knitwear. Worth a google?

blinks · 02/01/2011 17:14

lovely

sale price

Chocamochalatte · 02/01/2011 17:16

Neicie, they are really good prices, unfortunately nothing jumps out at me Sad

Traceybath, I do like the Brora jumper, need to me sure the length to see if it's long enough also will wait to see if it goes in the sale though!

this?

FrancesFarmer · 03/01/2011 13:59

I have this in navy, grey and mustard and have been wearing them lots.

Deaddei · 03/01/2011 17:13

Esprit had some new knits in yesterday

CointreauVersial · 03/01/2011 18:06

Clure, that's lovely, and about the only jumper on this thread that's in my price-range! Bit worried about how it would look with a bra-strap spoiling the line, though.

Tracybath - that's lovely too.

Clure · 03/01/2011 18:22

I quite like it myself, not sure what the quality is like in RL but a bit of a bargain. The gap one that Francesfarmer linked to was also nice

Chocamochalatte · 03/01/2011 21:18

Flute, I love the sleeves on the first one but not sure about the colour... The second one I fear would be too short to wear with skinny jeans (largeish size 12 behind)

Off to look at Esprit...
