Should I keep this jumper?

I bought this jumper on impulse on Wednesday and I'm still debating whether to keep or not.

I do really like it but I am concerned it will be hard to style differently and I'll end up wearing it the same and feel unable to wear it often.

Do you think it's worth keeping?

@FuckingHateRats

I wish I could rely on it to behave every day but I do love having wild hair.

Me too! The days you try it's always wrong isn't it and then suddenly you can't be arsed, go out and about in the wind and rain and it manages to look awesome. Unpredictable but worth it Grin

I wouldn’t keep it, it’s not flattering and I think I’d feel really scruffy teaching in it (fellow teacher here!).

I like it. Would look nice with chunky tights and clumpy boots. In all honesty though I dont think it is at all appropriate for work. Far too casual.

I think it's ok for lounging around at home, or maybe popping to the corner shop, but not much past that if I'm honest.

I'm most often found teaching in skinny black jeans and oversized shirts... Think our school has quite a casual dress code. I'd definitely be okay wearing it with tan flats and some gold hoops.

If you don't love it straight away then send it back. The things you're not sure about when they arrive are the things that sit in your wardrobe unworn.

Yes!! I love it - heads out to TS to find one for myself

Lots you can do to style it up for winter, chunky boots, belts, scarves etc can switch it up a bit

The op does love it - she has said so.

I don't like it, looks like you are a child wearing your dad's old jumper.

Thanks all. I tried it on for my daughter and she agrees it's not very versatile. I also love it less second time on so back it goes! Thanks for all your input.

You made the right decision OP - it really does nothing for you - the colour is draining.

I like it. If it has pockets I'd keep it but not if it doesn't

I love a jumper dress but the colour is horrid and it’s strange round the bottom. Of the dress. Not your bottom.

It's awful imo.

This is why it is pointless asking others.

We all like different things

If you like it then keep it.
