one sweater, multiple possibilities

ok y'all, everyone is seeing dots...again! this sweater from j.crew is awesome and totally adorable. here's how one simple sweater can fit three people.
this color combination would be perfect for my mom, or any classicist. it's cozy and oozes comfort. it's trendy in its dots, but the colors are perfect for anyone who doesn't want to dance too much on the wild side, and who channels timeless tradition a la audrey hepburn. think straight dark denim jeans and ballet flats (my mom would also add very trendy accessories like long necklaces and chunky bracelets).

option two is perfect for my sister. the color combination is young and while it keeps with the polka dot trends, it adds something fresh with the kelly green and blue colors. think of it as great for the woman who is alluring and slightly mysterious, who charms the crowd with more than her great looks. in the perfect world laura would pair this with colored jeans (or leather), sky high heels, and red lipstick. though these days it would probably be closer to cigarette jeans, a messy bun, but keeping the red lips. 


i'd pick something like this. i love the juxtaposition of the dark burgundy and light pink. it's a little funky and quirky. the burgundy is very adult and mature whereas the light pink is playful and young, it's trying to figure out where it is in the world, just like me. it's kinda unexpected and ultra modern as well. it's the kind of fashion that mixes trendy with timeless. this piece is great for the person looking to punch up their classic wardrobe with small trends, who wants clothing that is going to transition from young twenty something who has five jobs, to young twenty something who finally has one job with benefits. i'd wear it with slightly high waisted wide leg trousers and great pumps, or make it weekend with classic bootcut jeans and sneakers. 

what do you think? can you think of the people who fit the other colors offered? 
this one for my friend chris, and this one for my aunt robbin


happy shopping! don't you just LOVE fall?
