Body Builder

No, this blog post is will not be discussing the muscle tees and the misfortunes of those who wear them outside the gym (I’m just kidding, I like muscle tees as casual wear—I just sometimes like to pretend that I am more critical than I truly am—-more simply put…I like anything and everything). I will actually be telling you about another ‘out of my mind’ outfit. My theory here, if you have big arms…embrace them! The more arm the merrier. The sweater below is one that I purchased at a Krizia sample sale four/five years ago and have not failed to throw it on at the slightest indication of winter since. Let’s backtrack, shall we? You might be thinking, “What possessed her to go to a Krizia sample sale?” Simple: A grandma willing to take a clothing obsessed middle-schooler to a sample sale is like a superhero coming to save a baby from a pool of sharks (I only use that example because I am extremely, seriously afraid of sharks—expose my sweet eyes to a picture of a shark and You. Will. Die.) In addition, my grandmother gets a hefty amount of sample sale postcards, and figures that a sample sale is a lot more exciting than a uptight department store…so let the pushing and shoving begin! I will never forget that day. It was the first time I ever saw a “communal” fitting room. I remember asking my grandma, “You mean, I have to take off my clothes in front of all of these people?” For a few sweaters…so-o worth it (just kidding…). So now you know, I am not actually a body builder…but I do wish I was just a little bit stronger! Another thing you might have learned...every piece of clothing has a story, if it does...you're boring. (kidding again!)

Poodles (sweater kind of looks like a poodle),
