And this I know, his teeth is white as snow...

I have been in the wintering DOLDRUMS since returning from Mexico. I sleep 'till noon and don't get as dressed up for work anymore. Also, I have put on Christmas weight, and have been wearing sweats and pajamas when I'm not at work. I never thought this could happen to me; all I do is knit unfinished hat orders, watch a variety of movies, read and work on my new denim "punk" vest, which involves pushing gold studs into denim and stenciling canvas with screen printing ink and freezer paper. A fellow blogger recently employed the Fruits concept of a "point of fashion" to describe her look for '09. I am considering my "point of fashion" for spring to be white trash 80's punk (hence the vest and hopefully white doc martens from Mickey) combined with some type of 5-year-old girl dress from the early '90s involving ribbons, floral dresses, and wack sweaters. If Stephanie Tanner hung out with Iggy Pop. Or maybe just Courtney Love and Madonna got into a terrible fight and so did Frances Bean and Lourdes. It could happen. Something very Kinder whore-ish with the punk aesthetic.

I've been rockin' Wack sweaters these days, and as an incentive to get me to post more often, it's Wack Sweater week. I think wack sweaters should be worn with distinct irony. Pairing them with muted accessories is a good idea (though I am not doing this in the following photo, I am channeling Rainbow Brite meets Holly Hobby, I suppose)

Wack Sweaters: A knitted cardigan or pull-over usually worn loose, with colorful intarsia pattern or a decided over-all bizarreness. Color combinations give the Argyle its sole potential for being a "Wack" sweater.
