M: Well that Anthropologie kimono sweater thing only had two left in stock so I panic ordered it
A: Ooh! Remind me what it looks like?
M: I had a $25 gift card and I had it shipped to store to save shipping so I am pretending it was on sale:
M: I mean, I needed it
A: Ah! Right. Yes, that is Very Marianne
A: And you have been rocking the beret of late
M: I need that turtleneck TOO
A: AGREE
M: But yes, it’s such a “me” outfit that I’m surprised it’s not already in my closet
A: I really love this cardigan:
A: But I am not willing to spend full price dollars on it
M: Now THAT is an animal print
A: Yup
A: But, I am trying not to shop except when necessary
A: Related: two of the three Uniqlo base layer tops I bought work, which is nice
A: I stupidly bought one that’s a ballet neck
M: Heh
M: I love a ballet neck in theory but WHITHER BRA STRAPS
A: Oh, it’s worse than that
A: I forgot a ballet neckline requires actual shoulders
M: ah
A: It just slides right down off my narrow shoulder nubs
M: Very flashdance
M: Not really the look I’m going for
A: But the other two are great and work perfectly under sweaters
M: Your vacation is so soon!
A: I know! I am excited and really glad I bought that HH coat. Phew.
A: Does your new cardigan qualify as a gin carnigan?
M: A fancy gin carnigan
A: yoo guys
M: I still have this:
A: icannntevin! ðŸ˜
M: My queen
A:
I am ashamed to admit that I do not know the origin of the gin cardigan.
ReplyDeleteI think this is where it started: http://www.looksgoodfromtheback.com/2011/06/drinking-gin-in-ditch.html
DeleteBut, if you click on that "drinking gin in a ditch" tag at the end of the blog entry, it should pull up every weird mention. Basically, a gin cardigan (or carnigan) is our version of a wine cardigan per the Fug Girls.
