(or a take-off)<br /><br />I do have two things to add to what you have already commented. <br /><br />1. everyone can wear this sweater, all shapes and size male or female and look cute and comfortable. Its also very easy to make more dressy (think collared shirt a solid colour complementary to your skin type under) *** Just be sure to buy a size up it's supposed to look baggy thats the current twist on this classic trent ***<br />2.$110?? You can get this look for 8 dollars!!! be real people! this sweater staple might as well be 100 years old. If you only got 8 bucks pop to a 2nd use or vintage shop you'll find one.Mr. non famoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15040064793518294246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895647038898538515.post-71223009969889844892010-08-17T15:12:07.236-04:002010-08-17T15:12:07.236-04:00I got a merle sweatshirt from Gap this summer from...I got a merle sweatshirt from Gap this summer from the clearance rack for $6.95.

I tried it on and at first wasn't to impressed with the fit . I sat on it for a day and thought to myself... "What kinda look am I going for anyway?" I decided that everything doesn't have to always be trim and slim so I went back and picked it up. I think it will be a nice piece to keep and will get better with time. I can probably dress it up by throwing an oxford underneath or keep it casual and role the sleeves up. I really hope the goal with all this is to dress better, feel good, have fun and just be inspired.Junctionedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218073272562132315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895647038898538515.post-58938243642929734842010-08-13T00:42:54.415-04:002010-08-13T00:42:54.415-04:00Its between this and the jcrewxwarehouse crewneck ...Its between this and the jcrewxwarehouse crewneck for me.Thomashttp://chinotshirt.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895647038898538515.post-9221248126171921862010-08-12T23:46:29.243-04:002010-08-12T23:46:29.243-04:00Save sixty bucks and get this:

I was just wondering. You don't hear of many people from PEI on style blogs. jks.<br /><br />I most certainly *think* that Sart. Inc. is more for the younger reader.

That's why I look forward to reading his next post about it. Keep us posted when you get it, SI. <br />3. Difference between SI and other blogs out there: Typically posts about things most of us can afford, sometimes posts about things that's kind of high-priced (and he admitted this was a bit high priced). Prob one of the more down to earth blogs out here these days, so cut him some slack for a little internet drooling. <br />4. Other difference between SI and other blogs out there (including ACL): some people act like dicks on the internet, in Anon fashion, and SI handles it with class. Probably one of the least obnoxious people to read out there. Keep doing what you do; many of us enjoy it. <br />5. Lastly, I appreciate the output on this blog. This guy posts every day, multiple times a day. So he waxes poetic? Good. I want to read updated blogs - including prose and pictures. <br /><br />Oh, and really, please keep us posted about the fit.
