Half a Shirt for Twice as Much

An avant-garde top they call it. I call it Being Chilly. It's $395.

This is really the back, I swear.

Bejeweled Cashmere Dress

I didn't make this up - that was the name of the dress on the website. Hilarious. And yeah those are real stones on the neckline. The back of the dress has that same pattern to it. Isn't that going to accentuate my saddlebags in a really bogus way? Is it just me? But it is a sweater so it might keep you warm. $525

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.

Something in the way she....

I always hate Stella McCartney's collections. There's something about her stuff that turns me off. All her clothes look messy and ill fitting or just poorly made. Check out this sweater, it has wings! Wear it to the new Batman movie premire. It's available for pre-order, and the website doesn't even say what this sweater is made out of. But it is $1695.

Let's Go Sweater Shopping!

I had no idea that looking through the Sweater pages would be such a goldmine of material. These two sweaters are simply an example of when designers take an idea and kill it. I don't want to look that boxy - thanks. These are both about $200 each and made of a silk knit so they ain't that warm either.

What blows my mind here is the exposed back zipper. Wow that is unsightly. Especially the way it stretches the sweater fabric in such an obvious way. Yuck. And I think the whole horizontal stripes thing is ugly. But maybe you have a $248 gift card and would love to pick this up.
