Too much of a Good Thing?

So I bought the Star Runner Halfzip in Plum/inkwell Hyperstripe online, and I love love the color. I really wanted the Run Full Tilt pullover, but my store didn't have my size, and the 8 was too tight for comfort. I was all set to rip the tags off of the half zip when my store suddenly had a size 12 on markdown. I tried it on, and while the 10 would have been perfect, this is still a good fit. So now I have 2 shirts in the same fabric, with slightly different purposes. I love the pullover as a nice but technical shirt to wear with jeans, and te Halfzip for the beach, walks, and everyday craziness. The bust seam on this one has been criticized, but I think that it almost helps minimize my mega boobs. And I love the kangaroo pocket. 
Am I nuts??

  1. If you are only keeping one, pick the full tilt. But I love love the half zip of the star runner. So torn! I had both in line the other day (both black) and last minute decided against the star runner. Now I'm kinda regretting, but that's a large chunk of cash to drop!

  2. I would keep the full tilt and return the half zip. If the half zip did not have all of the excessive details such as the lace, seams and ruffles, I would say keep it. My opinion is that it is really busy and you will get ready to eBay it before the cool season is out!

  3. I love my technical long sleeves to have a half zip but the back of the star runner pullover is waaaaaay too busy for me, particularly in the plum.

  4. i am the same as mer w - LOL except i did end up getting both - I know i will use them for running in cooler weather. the details on the half zip are maybe not as distracting to me since i have it in black. it's a gorgeous color you have on and you would def get use out of both - if you are only keep one i think the full tilt in this color is nicer b/c it is not as busy - the outfit looks great though!
