It did not look old lady on the press secretary but it does look old lady on the old lady Ann Taylor model. |
She bounces once for every lie she tells. |
I agree it actually looks worse on the model, maybe because it is baggier on the very skinny model, but also I think because it shows the whole sweater. Those fake pocket things are just an abomination, and I really expect more from Ann Taylor. I think the posted photo of Leavitt in it doesn't look bad, but I suspect it was worse in person because this just isn't a good sweater. The color and the knit are nice, but the buttons are not great and the pockets are just awful. Ann Taylor, really, do better. |
Not to keep harping on purple sweater, but I actually think the buttons would be okay (and the pockets might be bearable) if the sweater was long sleeved and looked more like a "lady jacket". Lady jacket is not my favorite style, but it's on trend and looks good on younger women, so would be a better choice for her. Like, isn't this one also from Ann Taylor a million times better? Feel like you could wear this with navy straight leg or wide leg pants and some kind of simple shell and it would look pretty fresh and professional:

I have this one and it’s super comfortable/great for a cold office. Although now I’m doubting myself 😂 |
So . . . head-to-toe dead animals? |
Gross. |
There ae multiple people posting this, sweetie. |
I crowdsourced this for you guys - I texted both pics to four of my nieces aged 22-30 (all professionals - an engineer, a consultant, an investment banker, and an MD) and they all agreed this is an old lady top and none of them would be caught dead shopping at Ann Taylor. |
It's Wyoming, so yeah, I guess. |
I love that sweater. |
EXACTLY. |
I completely disagree with your take on this cute sweater. You seem to reeeeeaaally be overreacting to what is a completely normal article of clothing. |
Yes - both those "lady sweaters" AND the short-sleeved purple one are stylish and work appropriate. Love the Chanel throwback. |
