Thanks and Stripes.

I'm home sick with a cold today so this entry might be a little bit of a ramble. (Sneezing! Fun! Kill me!) Mostly I just wanted to thank you all for your excellent feedback regarding the Questionable Sweater. I think this comment best sums up my feelings:

It looks like you purchased a size too big... And obviously you don't LOVE it, you kind of like it. If you're questioning the purchase this much now, you will probably question it each time you pull it out of the closet.

Pretty much, yes. I like it but not that much and even though it sparks joy in my closet, it feels too big to me and I rarely am able to pull off heavyweight slouchy. Mostly it just feels sloppy when I try. So, easy decision to return it and I'm grateful for your comments.  I still do want an open cardigan, but I think I need to look for something in a finer knit that's a bit more streamlined. Something like this, maybe? If I had the means, I'd buy this one and wear it for the rest of my rich lady life. So nice.

Moving on, did you guys know that Everlane is now making a striped shirt? My kryptonite. I texted this to Marianne:

I wasn’t going to order it and then I started laughing and bought it because, stripes.

Hey, I like what I like and I wouldn't be me if I didn't at least try the fancy Everlane striped shirt. What would you guys think about me if I didn't? It comes in two striped colorways (and a weird blushy pink) and I ordered this one because it seemed more like spring:

Chips and Dimp?

I'm not sure what's going on with the model. She seems kind of...high. Anyway, it's a few weeks backordered but I don't mind waiting. I'll do a review when it arrives! Fingers crossed that this is the holy grail of striped shirts.
