Catalogs are such a mixed bag. On one hand I love to pore over them and pick out the perfect combinations of clothes. On the other hand, it is amazing how often they don't actually look like they do in the catalog.

Actually, I rather like bell sleeves. They're pretty! But, I like them best on 3/4 sleeves, so they still leave my hands free.

I think everyone should be allowed to wear hoodies, no matter their age. Hoodies are cute! And they keep your ears from getting cold! I am a firm supporter of hoodies! Not sure how I feel about bell sleeves attached to hoodies, though. It sounds awkward.

While teaching my visiting friend how to knit*, she did get a "cashmere blend" yarn to practice with. It actually wasn't horrid. 65% acrylic, 30% nylon, and 5% cashmere. No Brillo pad! It does feel nice; they've come quite far with making synthetic fibers not feel just like plastic. And for practice, it's not bad. I still prefer to snuggle up to my 50/50 cashmere/silk spinning fiber. Excuse me a moment.
*Her choice! She said the magic words: "I wish I had tons of beautiful handknit socks to lounge around in..."
Smooshes!

I've never thought of swans as anything more than decoration. We only have them in specially tended fountains around here - and actually not even around here, just when we go on vacation to warmer places. My education in agressive decoration is obviously lacking.

"Unless you wear Armani suits to work. Although Armani and All Stars is a fashion statement too.^ I don’t really get into fashion. I don’t have time. I’m frequently surprised–not always pleasantly–at what is in or out of fashion. Not to mention extraterrestrial catwalk paraphernalia that has nothing to do with clothing as the rest of us know it."
Fashion is the one thing that is so horrible we can't stand it for more than six months at a time. (I think that is a Lincoln quote, but don't quote me on that.)

I adore looking at catalogs, but I have no luck at all buying things without trying them all first (quicker to go try stuff on than it is to buy tons of stuff and then have to return 99% of it). Even if I'm buying from one of the companies whose sizes I know, because there's just too much variation in fit from style to style.

I love catalogues because they put all the colors in a row or pile, and I think how gorgeous my closet or drawer would look if I bought one of EVERY color! (My closet would look gorgeous, but I wouldn't necessarily!)

I sure hope it's not illegal for 39 year olds to wear 'em... My hoodies are all the traditional sweatshirty sort though, with sports teams and school logos on them, so they do smack rather of feeble attempts to recapture my lost youth.
