Pretty or granny?

[SierraFerrara]

This isn't quite as bubblegum pink as it looks but do the stars and sequins and pearls on the neck make it a bit "granny trying to be fun"?
As an aside, why do even expensive ranges (this isn't) only put the decorations on the front? It can make things look cheap.

They both say, “I just picked up something a bit jazzy for line dancing”. The sweater is worse.

Just buy a plain sweater/cardi then you can 'jazz it up' with jewellry as you wish.
Both of those are bogging, sorry.
I love a bit of bling but no to both of those.

I would probably wear this with skinnies and DMs or hi tops as others have said. I’m 29 😳 and clearly I’m not very stylish!

Haha! Yes I do need an intervention!

I get why the pink one could be considered rest home chic but I really don't know the blue one is so offensive which is worrying.

If I could look at it and and say "well MNers don't like it and I can understand why but I do, so I'll wear it" that's fine but I'm at a complete loss why it's so bad.

Eg I bought these shoes a few days ago (to go with pencil skirts and plain work outfits) and I love them but can completely understand why some people would hate them so I'm confident in my choice to wear them. The blue cardie I don't.

Christ. It’s ALL horrific. Sorry to be blunt op

The blue cardie is just a bit cheap and nasty. It might not be but it looks it.
It's like something Brenda might wear to the bingo on her pals birthday with a pair or polyester slacks. It's the beading, it just screams lady over 70.
Not that I have anything against elderly ladies as I will be one all too soon!

I think I might be able to make the blue one work but I'd rather not have to!

Don’t like the tops but love the shoes

No to both cardies. The shoes, I could work with.

And yes, shoes are lovely!

All cardigans look matronly on me as I have a huge bust. But that one looks naff mainly because of the cheap-looking 'embellishment'. As for the pink I think it's all been said!

Yay! One out of three - things are looking up!

Both tops are a beautiful soft cashmere mix.

OK, I'm willing to accept the collective wisdom of MN and will return both tops.

Is it the sparkles?

YES!

I don't like the shoes :/ sorry

Yes as soon as I saw the picture I thought this something my mum would wear who is indeed a granny.

Before now I didnt even realise it was a typical granny look

Pink is really IN at the moment. I would wear it with jeans and trainers or jeans and red boots. I don’t like the cardigan at all and the shoes are hideous.

I hate sparkles and embroidery on knitwear so a no to both of them. The shoes are not my thing, but are nice enough for the genre.

I think the pink one is pretty.

I need those shoes!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

As I say, I completely get why people wouldn't like the shoes and as such I'm confident to say I do and I'll wear them. So I'm keeping those. :)

It's when I don't see what's so bad that I get a bit wobbly.

But Master I liiiiiiike sparkles (whines).

Anyway, yes, I'll take them back.

The shoes are good. They remind me of my favourite marmite brand - irregular choice.

I’m 61 and it’s too old for me...

I’m referring to the jumper with sparkles. The cardigan is ok if that colour suits you.

Love the pink top and the shoes.
If they are Granny, maybe Granny-Chic needs to be a thing. :)

Look OP if you like them wear them; We all have clothes we love but others hate but so what
