Last summer Olivia and I took a [very harrowing] trip to the Roosevelt Fields Mall. Among visits to Forever21, Betsey Johnson (to quote Rachel Zoe, I die.), H&M, and Charlotte Russe there was also a visit to hipster wonder land American Apparel. Remember how it turns out I am a hipster? Well, obviously I fell in love with a few items, namely their Lightweight Sheer Rib Raglan Pullover and their Tri-Blend Light Weight Raglan Pullover. Which, yes, are essentially the same thing, but I love the sheerness of the sheer version, it's something special. Anyway, I loved them--but from afar, as freelancing and running this amazing site do not revenue enough for me to spend $35 a piece on a t-shirt-sweatshirt combination. I wanted more than one color, and $70 was way too much to spend for 2, and what if I wanted three? I could not drop $100 plus on casual clothes, I don't even wear casual clothes almost ever (even working from home!). I thought about these tops whenever I went for a casual look, romping around town for errands in leggings and moccasins? This top would be perfect. Moving Eric out of Connecticut? A grey tri-blend raglan with jeans would be the perfect look for moving (yes, I do consider "looks" for moving, sometimes they include scarves in my hair. What?). Shorts and a loose comfy raglan would be perfect for a warm Sunday brunch with the Huntington Bay Shore, coffee and a News Paper at T.K.'s Galley. I had lots of moments to don them, but none in my closet. Clearly a tragedy of epic proportions. Finally I caved.
