Happy Friday Mama's,

I am searching for a sweater and stumbled upon this sexy number, the problem I have is that if I see something I like will more times than not but 2 of the same item in a different color, I have done this with shoes, purses ect... I do not want to do that this time so 2 questions for you.

1. Do you ever buy more than one of a certain item if you really like it?
2. The options can go with almost anything so which color do you like best?

What can I do next?

I think it's smart to but what you know you like, so...yeah...I buy multiples all the time.

I would SO be getting the black AND the mushroom. But if I HAD to pick, I'd go for the mushroom, because I have lots of black cardigans already and I can't think of O. color that wouldn't work with the mushroom.

1. ALL the time. If I like something and it fits well and is afordable...you bet I buy more than one color.

2. I'd buy both the black and mushroom!

Totally guilty here..
... of buying that 'perfect' cotton T-Shirt in every color the store carries.

Usually what happens, is that I wear every color too, except black. I just don't gravitate towards black shirts. So, now i have lots of black shirts that I never wear.

This was a great question because it got me thinking about all the black shirts I never wear, that are new, that I think I'll wear one day. Off to the goodwill is my next plan for them.

And I'm not much of as sweater person. And I'm always in a hurry getting dressed, so I know for sure that the style you are looking at is a bad one for me as I would forever get my arms in the back holes and probably not notice and then wonder what was this long skinny thing hanging in the front...

Yes - I will buy things in a bunch of colors. I will buy the same several of the same perfect black t shirt - they wear out, are in the laundry, etc. when I need one. I have the same loafers in black, tan and orange. I would buy both the black and mushroom sweater.

I do that too! my problem is that I like black too much, and then I add a bit of color with something different, wich in most cases is beige or brown.
Truly I see nothing wrong with that! I like how that beige one looks :)

If you are going to buy just one I would probably lean toward the mushroom, b/c of the time of year.

Yes, if I find something I love in more than one color that I love, I will buy it in more than one color!

And almost always, if black is one of the options, that is what I'll buy first. :) So that is what I would pick in this case (and also, tan tends to wash me out since I am pale and blond, but if you have more olive skin or dark hair, maybe tan works better for you...?) That is a really cute sweater!

ok considering it's ventilated and you would be wearing it in spring and fall, i would go wih the light tan mushroom. usually i say black but i think with the cut outs' it's too harsh showing off the shirt underneath.

I buy multiples in different colors of the same tshirt if I really like the way it looks on me. I hate really liking something and wanting another one but then when you go back they are gone.

And the link worked it just depends on your skin color to me if you go with the pink. They are both really cute though. I have to say that black matches with everything though!!

But if you have a lot of black right now, then go with the pink.

If the price is right buy both! I do it all the time. Especially if it is something that looks good and can be worn several different ways.

Since you don't want to buy both though I would probably go with the black one

1. Yes, if it's something that fits really well and I love it, I will buy it in 2 colors or more. I'm a tshirt girl, and they are hard to find that actually look and style nice.

2. The link isn't working!! But, I would say, it depends on your coloring what feels good on you. To me, very bright colors wash me out and make me feel too exposed, but they look great on other people. Seasonally, colors in navy, white, coral, gray, turquoise and yellow are all very popular.

*okay, link is working now. Tough choice! But think, you can always get a black cardigan anytime, but that color nude is pretty rare. It would be a great spring/summer color. So just think about how you would wear it.

I have definitely bought more than one of an item in different colors. I like the sweater in the tan color for spring and summer. But it may depend on what you already have. Either color could be a good neutral.

I do.

I would buy both! The nude to wear thru out spring/summer and the black for next fall/winter.
If I HAD to choose - I would go with black, but that's just because I like black and wear alot of black.

It all depends:
If it is a staple item - classic shape and something that I can/will wear with everything then I sometimes get it in the SAME neutral color like two black and then one in a trendy or more fun color.

If it is a trendy item that I will only wear for a season or two then I get it in the trendiest color I can pull off.

Considering it is Spring - the Mushroom would probably be most appropriate.

But, yes I often get something in multiple colors because I love the fit/style.
