It's much more understated than the chicken or dog sweaters from j.crew (do not like those), plus it's a sweatshirt rather than a sweater. I've never met a sweatshirt I've didn't like, especially the burned out thin ones, so I was sold immediately. thanks for stopping by!!<br /><br />xx-<br />sarahSarah Davis https://www.blogger.com/profile/03391334509425143031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730019142944965071.post-41241291590529422722012-11-21T10:57:10.614-06:002012-11-21T10:57:10.614-06:00Yeah, I'm kind of an out of sight, out of mind...Yeah, I'm kind of an out of sight, out of mind person, so if it's not accessible to me then I won't get in trouble.

He absolutely thought he was being cute because he laughed. Too bad no one else did. It didn't bother me at all, it just made me think. I completely agree with you about my idea of pretentious. We live in a very pretentious town and I see those people all the time at events. I just don't see myself as one of them.<br /><br />xx-<br />sarahSarah Davis https://www.blogger.com/profile/03391334509425143031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730019142944965071.post-81558592096638055992012-11-21T10:52:25.423-06:002012-11-21T10:52:25.423-06:00Thanks, Emily!!Thanks, Emily!!Sarah Davis https://www.blogger.com/profile/03391334509425143031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730019142944965071.post-30503441884273381902012-11-21T10:52:10.625-06:002012-11-21T10:52:10.625-06:00I could have worn an XS, but I went with the small...I could have worn an XS, but I went with the small.

If you are a boutique gal, I highly recommend Milk and Honey. It's so amazing! I almost peed my pants when I found that DVF dress... trust me. I didn't even dry clean before I wore it, I was so excited. Oh well. I may have gone to dinner smelling like an old attic but I looked good!

Vintage/thrift stores here in NY are too expensive. <br /><br />LaRie<br /><br />http://inspiredshe.wordpress.com/<br /><br />P.S. That blue vintage DVF dress (you posted back in Sep) is everything!
