Ode to the Long Sweater

It has been amazingly hard to find expensive ugly clothes to rip on these last few weeks. My usual standby of looking though the cocktail dresses has turned up some super cute and mostly so-so garments. Ah but then I came upon this and my heart rejoiced! Philip Lim created this gray with green trim sweater. Deep V neckline. Puffed three-quarter sleeves. Patch pockets. Tonal belt at natural waist. Banded hem. Extra fine merino wool. Only $550. Get two.

I'm deeply unimpressed. The description is outrageously optimistic...Ombre Silk chiffon Rosette Tube Dress "The only downside? The looks of envy we'll get from all the other girls at the party." 24" long, measured from center back.

OK its 24 inches from the center of the back. 24 inches is 2 rulers long to cover your butt. Yikes that is crazy short. $297.00
