I don't remember how the people there dressed, only that the clothes in shop windows, no matter which neighborhood, were <i>hideous</i>.Phoebe Maltz Bovyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996039330841139883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-43693590994096628312010-11-14T18:47:59.395-05:002010-11-14T18:47:59.395-05:00Mine is Australian, which although is a land of wo...Mine is Australian, which although is a land of wool is not a land of sweaters. Of course, "winter" means that it gets below 60. People still go out in t-shirts and tube tops and just shiver.

If I were you, I'd just get it in another color, so you at least benefit from the sale. However, I'm a bad influence, at least when it comes to these sweaters.<br /><br />As for the international angle, I guess it depends where the boy in question comes from? Mine may speak a language that if I didn't know what it was, I'd assume was Scandinavian, but style-wise, the Belgians are not so different from the French. Chunky sweaters that do what they can to create the illusion of pregnancy are not particularly sought-after in that part of the world.Phoebe Maltz Bovyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996039330841139883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-10669651354747664692010-11-13T18:28:17.559-05:002010-11-13T18:28:17.559-05:00My boyfriend was similarly unimpressed with my swe...My boyfriend was similarly unimpressed with my sweater, and he too is not an American. Are the large sweaters thing a US thing? I know in Norway people wear bulky sweaters, but maybe elsewhere in the world it is considered gauche. The only thing I'm not happy about is that now the sweaters are on sale with free shipping. Is it worth it to pay for return shipping to buy the same sweater for slightly less money? In this case laziness will probably win out over frugality.Brittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02224221011978374915noreply@blogger.com
