So does this mean you guys will stick up for me when the mods come after me?!
A funny story about the holiday sweaters (I'm an avid holiday-sweater hater and mom-jean protester). My mom came home after the holiday sales this year when I was visiting home. She walked in and pulled out a HIDEOUS holiday sweater. This is her first attempt at dabbling in old people/teacher clothing (she's 58). When she showed it to me I said "so this is the age."
She stared blankly and said "what? Huh?" and I said "so this is the age where you start thinking it's OK to wear holiday sweaters. I've always wondered at what age it suddenly became something women thought was OK. Now I know."
She wasn't too pleased... but she still wore the damn thing through New Years!
