Yay or Nay: Anna Kendrick at SXSW in Tweed Short Suit

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday March 18, 201377 comments


If you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing Anna Kendrick in action in Up in the Air, 50/50 or Pitch Perfect, here's the deal: she's crazy cute, super talented and hilarious to top it off. Follow her on Twitter, you won't be disappointed (and then while you're at it, follow us too!). Because I adore me some Anna, I'm tempted to give her a pass, but there's just something about this tweed suit that's bugging me. I think I know what it is too: the shorts. 


First, the jacket: chic, cheerful and modern. The tweed and kelly green leather combo is adorbs. But moving on down, I cannot find appreciation for these shorts. It just doesn't mesh well! I get the whole mixing it up, business on top, party on the bottom but somehow this just looks disjointed. Granted, this isn't a red carpet but still, I think I'd like to see a sleek, tailored and cropped lady trouser instead. 

Also, what are you wearing underneath there Ms. Kendrick? I sense that maybe there's only a bra? This looks good but maybe a crisp white button down would do nicely too? Accessories here aren't my fave but no real complaint other than they're a bit boring. 

What do you think of Anna's tweed short suit? Should she put on some pants next time? Is this a yay or a nay? Leave a comment below by March 24th with your vote and you could win!

I think it's young and fun, so yay! It would almost be too matronly with a skirt or pants; she could pull off a straight leg pant though. I would have liked to see it with a patent, nude pump, not a huge fan of the black ankle strap.

Nevermind I see SXSW no in the title - that's Texas? Maybe no on the shorts. but the material suits the boho vibe I guess.

I like everything except the purse.

The only thing I question is the season for wearing shorts. It would have been helpful to know where she was. For example if the opening was in Brazil, this would have been a conservative outfit in my opinion.

naybe? Which is actually a nay but with a hint of yay because the top half looks great on her but the bottom half just makes you feel like something is missing (perhaps her pants).

I like the jacket but the shorts are too short to balance off the bulkier top.

It does seem imbalanced - big jacket, tiny shorts but she petite enough to pull it off. Not an 'event' outfit though - more like shopping and coffee day with the girls.

Its a YAY for me! I think she looks pretty and that look can easily look trashy on some other celebs.
She seems to pull it off without it looking try-hard-ish, like say Kim K would. The green suits her hair well, but the tweed print for some reason looks slightly 60 age to me. Don't know why...

Yay! I actually kind of like this, though not the colours and couldève been a litttttle more fitted, she could pull it off.
