Week 38

I'm soliciting opinions about this sweater.  It's a rust merino J. Crew cardigan with a zipper.  I'm wearing it with a black wool Banana Republic skirt, the black patterned Uniqlo tights from Week 9, and rust patent leather MaraisUSA flats.  I really like the design of the sweater, but I don't know if the color is good on me.  

However, it matches my recent shoe purchase perfectly.  My sister turned me onto MaraisUSA.  They're based in my neighborhood and are enjoying quite a bit of success.  I really like the colors they use.  I was able to get this pair for $25 from Gilt.

Here's a photo of the zipper detail.

I'm not usually a big fan of matchy-matchy things, but I do like them when they're an unusual color.  So the pros for the sweater:  I like the design, I like the color, it matches my shoes.  Cons: the color doesn't look great with my skin tone, it was a little pricey, and as seen in the top photo I'm inclined to wear it with black, which is basically my boring daily uniform.  Should I return it?
