Sweater puppies
Oct. 19th, 2008 07:01 pmI have been looking for a basic black cotton cardigan. Mine is going home to Jesus. I have had it...four years (I think) and while it has served its purpose, it is time to replace it.
I would think it would be a simple task but there seems to be a lot of ugly happening in the world of sweaters..and clothes in general. I suppose it is my own irrational standards of what I want. Something slightly fitted but not super tight and not too many dumb doo-dads. I used to have a great black cardigan but I believe I lost it somewhere in England. These things happen.
But really the genuine fun in searching for something is perusing the awe-inspiring ugly.
Exhibit A. Or as I like to call it, "OMG We gotta make a sweater in five minutes with whatever we can find on the floor Project Runway challenge".
Tim Gunn would look at this sweater and say, "I am very concerned with where you have taken this."
We are all very concerned.
Some women? They just want to be a flying squirrel. For an extra hundred David Attenborough narrates your daily life. "Now our furry friend is getting a latte. Soy. extra pump of hazelnut. She will now engage in a mating ritual with the cute barista. It will fail."
Color! Pattern! Chaos! Or The rough draft version of the coat of many colors. Even Dolly Parton would go, "is that a floor rug?"
I am hiding a pregnancy or I am having a bloaty day. Don't look at my mid-section. DON'T LOOK!
Congratulations, you are now a Second Grade teacher. Now go pick up your denim jumper and comfortable shoes. Sprinkling of chalk-dust is extra.
